So, here we are, talking about the best new show on HBO Max. Until they change it again back to just HBO, which I have to believe is coming.<\/p>\n<p>The show in question is <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/play.hbomax.com\/show\/5a5fea94-4819-4a1d-b66d-9fd2179a7d1c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/play.hbomax.com\/show\/5a5fea94-4819-4a1d-b66d-9fd2179a7d1c\" aria-label=\"The Yogurt Shop Murders\">The Yogurt Shop Murders<\/a>, a docuseries that has landed a rare perfect 100%<a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/tv\/the_yogurt_shop_murders\/s01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/tv\/the_yogurt_shop_murders\/s01\" aria-label=\"Rotten Tomatoes score\"> Rotten Tomatoes score<\/a> from critics, which is not really something you see all that much in the genre.<\/p>\n<p>The Yogurt Shop Murders is based on a true story of a horrific crime back in 1991, one that many people may not have heard of. Here\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1991_Austin_yogurt_shop_killings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1991_Austin_yogurt_shop_killings\" aria-label=\"what happened.\">what happened.<\/a> A <strong>content warning<\/strong> follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n \u201cThe 1991 Austin yogurt shop killings are an unsolved quadruple homicide which took place at an I Can&#8217;t Believe It&#8217;s Yogurt! shop in Austin, Texas, United States on Friday, December 6, 1991. The victims were four teenage girls: 13-year-old Amy Ayers, 17-year-old Eliza Thomas, 17-year-old Jennifer Harbison, and Jennifer&#8217;s 15-year-old sister Sarah.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There ended up being a fire in the shop, and police discovered the victims (again, <strong>content warning<\/strong> for a violent crime), naked, tied up, burned, shot in the head with at least one of them having been raped. Evidence pointed toward a hardened criminal, but despite DNA evidence, they were never able to be identified, and the case remains unsolved. I am frankly surprised I\u2019ve never heard of this, as it seems just absolutely horrible. Granted, I was four back when this happened.<\/p>\n<p>The documentary was not dropped a binge watch, and the four episodes will be out over the course of the next months. But critics who have seen it all already believe it\u2019s an effective covering of the crime. Here are some quotes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/culture\/2025\/08\/yogurt-shop-murders-hbo-max-true-crime-documentary.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/slate.com\/culture\/2025\/08\/yogurt-shop-murders-hbo-max-true-crime-documentary.html\" aria-label=\"Slate\">Slate<\/a>: \u201cBrown\u2019s series is less preoccupied with cracking a long-unsolved case than it is with gently probing the wounds that have never been allowed to heal.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pajiba.com\/tv_reviews\/review-a24s-the-yogurt-shop-murders-docuseries-is-seriously-dark.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.pajiba.com\/tv_reviews\/review-a24s-the-yogurt-shop-murders-docuseries-is-seriously-dark.php\" aria-label=\"Pajiba\">Pajiba<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s also a riveting watch. People hollowed out by 30 years of grief recount what happened in raw, wrenching detail. For some, it\u2019s a chance at closure, if such a thing is even possible in cases that never find justice.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/arts-culture\/television\/the-yogurt-shop-murders-review-a-philosophical-thriller-on-hbo-12367f31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/arts-culture\/television\/the-yogurt-shop-murders-review-a-philosophical-thriller-on-hbo-12367f31\" aria-label=\"Wall Street Journal\">Wall Street Journal<\/a>: \u201cThe best documentaries, including nonfiction series such as \u201cThe Yogurt Shop Murders,\u201d can be based on great stories, or be told in brilliant ways, or, in the case of this Margaret Brown-directed epic, both.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There have been some comparisons in reviews to Netflix\u2019s famed Making a Murderer series. But there is no pointing toward a specific induvial here, and the goal is not to solve the crime, but rather show its after-effects. Its interesting that this is directed by an almost exclusively film director, Margaret Brown, who has done such gripping projects like Descendant in the past, and a True Crime series is wildly different. But she\u2019s made one very much worth watching, if you can stomach the tale.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow me <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" aria-label=\"on Twitter\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\">on Twitter<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\" aria-label=\"YouTube\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\">YouTube<\/strong><\/a><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\" aria-label=\",\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\">,<\/strong><\/a> <strong>and <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\" aria-label=\"Instagram\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\">Instagram<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick up my sci-fi novels the <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\" aria-label=\"Herokiller series\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\">Herokiller series<\/strong><\/a> <strong>and <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\" aria-label=\"The Earthborn Trilogy\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\">The Earthborn Trilogy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Yogurt Shop Murders HBO Max Well, Max is now back to being called HBO Max, after switching&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":325476,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3937],"tags":[117453,77,25127,382,16,15,117452],"class_list":{"0":"post-325475","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-best-hbo-max-show","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-hbo-max","11":"tag-tv","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-yogurt-shop-murders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114988108271110629","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=325475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325475\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=325475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=325475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=325475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
