  • The "watch later" list on HBO Max is called "My List," and you can use it to bookmark movies and TV shows you're interested in.
  • To add a show or movie to My List, you just need to select the "Add to My List" button.
  • You can find your list of shows on the Home screen in the My List row, or on your profile page in the My List tab.
