    @HBOMaxHelp watching The Wire (S3E4). Middle of episode, got an error. Now the show is gone other than one episode from season 1. What happened?

  • PinzLindz Lindsey Christine (@PinzLindz) reported

    @hbomax What happened to the seasons and episodes of The Wire?? There's only a random episode 6 from Season 1 in the search results. Help!!

  • RedMuleSports Biff Jerkins (@RedMuleSports) reported from Billings, Montana

    Streaming TV karma? The Wire on HBOMax is currently unavailable, save for one episode, but Top Chef Season 17 is FINALLY available on Hulu. Can the two not exist at the same time? Per @HBOMaxHelp, the issue with The Wire is being addressed, thank Crom.

    @louiehlad @hbomax I’ve had that problem with HBO before, it’s annoying

  • Titus1012 Mick Wagger (@Titus1012) reported

    @hbomax I'm normally a fan of Studio Ghibli, but this animation looks terrible. It looks scary, but not the fun kind, the unsettling kind.

  • jrosen417 Jesse Rosen (@jrosen417) reported

    @ayeeitsydney_ All day I look forward to my before bed Wire ep, now hbo has taken that from me! Fix it @hbomax I thought you were better than this.

  • ayeeitsydney_ Sydney 🦋 (@ayeeitsydney_) reported

    @ryancharaba @Myruh_M @hbomax Wow! The thing that sucks too is that The Wire is a really popular show that is impossible to find on anything without having to pay 🙁. Hopefully it’s just a glitch that gets fixed quickly.

  • RiskyTrades_ RI5KY (@RiskyTrades_) reported

    @MattJGall @hbomax They better fix it ASAP lol
