HBO Max's November line-up has been unveiled, and more than 25 TV shows are set to join the streaming library throughout the month. That’s a lot of new content, and probably more shows than the average HBO Max subscriber watches in an entire year. Needless to say, trying to get through all of them in 30 days is a tall order.

So, to help narrow down your watchlist, I’ve turned to Rotten Tomatoes to find the November arrivals with the highest critics’ scores. A strong RT rating doesn't necessarily mean a show will be everyone's cup of tea, but it's a handy starting point for separating the must-watch additions from the ones you can probably skip.

Before we get to the top picks for November, a quick point of order: HBO Max originals that haven’t premiered at the time of writing are excluded, since they don’t have a score on Rotten Tomatoes yet.

Few things beat settling in with a juicy period drama, and "The Gilded Age" never fails to deliver all the extravagant costumes, forbidden romances, and social squabbles that'll have you hooked. Set in New York City during the 1880s, it follows New York’s upper crust trying desperately to climb the ranks of the rich and famous.

The latest season sees wealthy socialite Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) navigate a rough patch with her husband George (Morgan Spector) while her neighbor and rival Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) plots her return to the spotlight among New York’s elite by hosting a dinner for President Grover Cleveland (guest star Jim Gaffigan).
