The Head is a good snowy murder mystery miniseries in Antarctica.

So my dad had an HBO Max subscription this whole time, what should I catch up on (besides Peacemaker, that’s first on my list)?

Listen OP your getting great recommendations for amazing shows. But I am here to tell you about the bat shit crazy insanity that is Raised by Wolves. It's a fever dream that tops its self every episode. Especially season 2. Who needs plot and consistency and good storytelling when you can just constantly get beat over the head with nonsense. You want answes fuck you more madness.
A legit great show is infinity train.

Joe Pera Talks With You and How To With John Wilson are both uniquely weird shows worth checking out. And Close Enough is a really funny animated show from the creator of Regular Show. Highly recommend it.
There's so much good shit on Max. By far the best content out of all the streaming services imo.
I don't think I've seen anyone recommend Banshee or The Knick yet.
All three of Danny McBride's shows are a must watch as well. Eastbound and Down, Vice Principals, and The Righteous Gemstones are all fantastic.

Watch The Warrior so we can get season 3!!
I would recommend Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Wire. Currently watching Whose line is it Anyway (2013 version) and it's good to have on when I'm washing the dishes.
On my own to watch list that I have queued up.
Game of Thrones
Westworld
Peacemaker
Doom
The Suicide Squad
The Sopranos
DMZ
The King's Man
Godzilla vs Kong
I am pretty sure I am missing out on quite a few shows, but I just don't watch too much TV and I just have a long list of shows and movies I need to catch up on.

I haven't watched it in years, and I don't know if it still holds up, but I remember loving Wristcutters: A Love Story
I binged on The Righteous Gemstones and Vice Principals via HBO Max these past two months. That's some great dark humor there and made me a Danny McBride fan.
Raised By Wolves is an interesting sci-fi show. Fascinating concept, though I think the execution of what it's trying to do is a bit "meh" sometimes with the religious side of things.
People have already made a bunch of similar suggestions I would have made on other shows. A lot of good content on there.

Can't believe you are the only one to mention VEEP. My all time favorite comedy.
And you, you're cool too.
Its really good. I randomly started episodes one time while I was waiting for a work assignment and I got hooked and binged all of it in a matter of days. Graet show
Hmm.. out of curiosity, do you rank Veep higher than The Thick If It?
Yes the movies.
(Except the first Suicide Squad, obv)
Birds of Prey is easily one of the best movies of 2020 and one of the most fun comic book movies ever made.
I can't recommend Chernobyl highly enough.
It's so, so good. I've seen it twice already, and just talking about it makes me want to rewatch it again.

Just saw the trailer and it looks hilarious. Added it to my list.It's not even an HBO show, but I will continue to stan for Wrecked until every person on the planet has watched it.
Just finished season 2 of Succession last night too. What a phenomenal show, good intrigue, sharp humor, absolutely vile cast that you somehow root for and love the music. We're seriously hooked on it.
Haven't seen it, guess I have a new show to watch!

Oh it's fantastic, Iannucci made Veep its own thing (and I love it) but The Thick Of It is just way more "in your face", I still hope he makes a sequel to that.

Wow, lots of great suggestions. I'm seeing a lot of Succession, Doom Patrol, Barry, Watchmen (I always have a soft spot for Regina King), & Chernobyl. Not to mention movies I've been needing to watch like Dune or interesting recommendations like Black Lady Sketch Show. And of course, can't forget the TMC classics that have been recommended.

Together with ATLANTA the best drama + (surreal) comedy I have ever seen.

Color me curious, especially as someone who enjoys Atlanta.
Watch Mare of Easttown. Limited series with 7 or 8 episodes. You will be hooked.
For longer running shows, definitely recommend Curb Your Enthusiasm and Succession as well.

This post nails most of it.
I would also add:
Band of Brothers
True Detective Season 1
Silicon Valley
As for current shows Winning Time is pretty good.
