Took a fair bit to understand this, Sky Max makes total sense to launch. Over the last few years Sky have essentially seen that their genre based channels have strengthened their entertainment lineup and plugged major gaps in the EPG with the closures of previous pay TV services. Also theres a clearer focus with original programming; Sky One became diluted over time and there's really no way to keep a well rounded channel in the age of streaming.
Sky Showcase should be easily approached as the Sky entertainment channels' very own Main Event much like Sky Sports is. Its linear only but at least it gets actual new content that funnels down to on demand if you want to continue.
Lastly. Sky Replay being closed doesnt surprise me, the channel has been on life support for a long time with the age of sky box sets. The shop window aspect of Replay has basically been rejuvenated with Showcase
