How It's Made

How It's Made is currently streaming in Australia on HBO Max, and in the US on Disney Plus and Hulu, and it treats its subject with more rigour than the format usually demands. With 32 seasons behind it, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. With 164 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. The access secured here is hard to overstate. Put it on tonight on HBO Max and see for yourself.

How It's Made arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. How It's Made resists the urge to oversimplify a subject that deserves better. Have you ever wondered how the products you use every day are made? How It's Made leads you through the process of how everyday products, such as apple juice, skateboards, engines, contact lenses, and many more objects are manufactured. The series ran for 32 seasons (2001–2019), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. Documentary work at this level requires access that is hard to get and storytelling that does justice to it — How It's Made has both. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For viewers who want their entertainment to leave them with something, How It's Made delivers on both counts. If you have already watched Disney Gallery / Star Wars: The Mandalorian, How It's Made is a natural next step. 32 seasons gives the story real room to develop. Rigorous in a way documentary work does not always commit to. Not background viewing — it rewards your full attention.

How It's Made was cancelled in 2019, created by Gabriel Hoss — and 32 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
