Here’s what you have to look forward to on Max in November: New seasons of Julia and Rap Sh!t, plus the debut of Chuck Lorre’s new series Bookie, starring Sebastian Maniscalco, about an L.A. bookie “as the potential legalization of sports gambling in California threatens to upend his business for good.”
Other than that, there are some library titles (the showbiz drama The Bad and the Beautiful is a must-watch if you’ve never seen it) and a ton of holiday-themed reality and cooking shows. Like, so many. Christmas is coming slightly early if you are into that sort of thing. (Not that early; it’s already November.)
