There’s no shortage of great television out there, but sifting through a slog of weaker shows in order to get to the good stuff — especially in the age of streaming — can be an exercise in patience. The good news is that steaming and binge-watching offer new potential in terms of going back and catching some of the best television viewers may have missed the first time around.
Over the years HBO has proved to be a prestige player in both the comedy and drama genres, raking in awards and spending unfathomable cash on attracting and retaining some of the best talent in the business. Now, with the launch of HBO Max, the cabler’s vault of equally cachet shows are available to enjoy in full.
From sexy vampires and brooding software developers, to dragon-riding saviors and mafia antiheroes, here are the 20 best HBO shows of all time.
This list sucks
Dream On nowhere to be found… 🤨
The Wire is consider in the top 5 shows of all time (but not your HBO only?) and no Entourage? Huh?
It’s hard to put a current show like Succession on lists like this. Seasons 1-3 indicate it belongs in the top 5 for me, but you will only know when it’s complete. Also no Entourage is just silly. It’s one of the most enjoyable/rewatchable shows in HBO’s history.
chimneywarehous Dazzadms76 I wonder what’s at Number 1? Omg imagine my shock 😂😂😘😘
Whoever made this list never really watched The Wire.
The Sopranos will always be 1. Succession will inch up as the series continues. Sex and the City is also up there.
🗑
How is insecure so high on this list? Above curb your enthusiasm?
Entourage snub
Where is entourage bro
Westworld
Did I miss it or is Larry Sanders not on this list…
How are The Wire and Curb not top 5 And Succession not top 10? All below Veep lmao
Idc wut 3 u pick…its the sopranos the wire and oz…and thats that
This list is atrocious, expectations was low but omg did y’all fumble
Garbage list.
The leftovers under rated
The Wire is the greatest written show in history. This list is a joke
🚮
Pathetic list.
How tf they have insecure above the wire and Oz? That boring ass series had the same plot every season 🤦🏾♂️. Fu€k this list.
Gotta delete this and try again
I know you didn’t just put got in front of succession….
Wasn't Band of Brothers an HBO series? Not sure how it doesn't make this list, simply the best TV series ever.
1. Game Of Thrones 2. The Wire 3. The Sopranos 4. OZ 5. Sex In The City
The Wire at 6th… The disrespect
The Wire is the best show of all time. But 6 on HBO? That’s a joke list. VEEP? Come on. VEEP was fine. Insecure better than Wire? Come on.
I do agree with No 1!!!
Did you motherfuckers actually watch the Wire?
This list is an abomination 😂
The wire should be 1
The Wire at 6?
no click
Worst list in the history of lists.
As long as Sopranos is 1st I'm happy
alcamz123
you better edit this there’s no way succession is number 13 ………
The people have spoken…get ratio’d
The wire at No6?😂 😂 It’s a toss up between The Wire and The Sopranos for top spot.
So y'all telling Insecure is better than Game Of Thrones, fuck outta here 🤣🤣🤣
Tell us you haven't watched Succession without telling us you haven't watched Succession. 13? Sounds like someone should add it to their watch list.
Wowww….after reading the comments, I don’t think I wanna read the list. It’s obvious they fucked up.
SHARP OBJECTS
Where is Westworld?
Veep, Deadwood and Insecure ranked WAY too high, GOT/Succession WAY too low
MR_STiXX This is awful
Sex Lives of College Girls not being in Top 5 completely invalidates this list
Terrible list, the wire is number one
This list sucks
LMAO at the delusional world y’all live in where “Insecure” is higher than “The Wire” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why has everyone forgotten about Rome ?
succession number 13 is this a joke
me when i lie
Wtf is deadwood. An early canceled show in the top 5? Gtfo here
This list is no good
This list is bullshit
No Band of Brothers?
No Entourage or Larry Sanders Show? I love Insecure, but 5? Nahhhh
Why is “Game of Thrones” this high? They didn’t stick the landing
SUCCESSION IS BEHIND GAME OF THRONES? FOR REAL?
Skipped to 1-4 just to confirm that they put the correct answer and they did
13? taylor are u in charge of this?
There are so many things wrong with this list
Where's Big Love and How To Make It In America?
ik y’all did not just put succession as number 13- SICKENING
Westworld didn’t even make the list 🤔
Wasn't Chernobyl on HBO
Trash list
insecure being higher than the wire and succession is very…
Um.... I have questions. Why is Watchmen listed at 14 when it should be in top 5, and where's Lovecraft Country? Or Entourage, or Treme, or Flight of the Conchords?
Where is FBoy Island
God awful list
The Leftovers not being in the top 10 just seems wrong.
No Oz🤔
I had HBO in the 90’s
ROME should of made the list.
Ok, im unfollowing
WHERE'S BARRY
Veep, Curb, The Wire, Succession.... i know for a fact that those need to be in the Top 5
INSECURE is not one of the best of all time. Stop the madness.
Every list where Game of Thrones is not 1. is a morons list. I mean come on, you really must be stupid not to think that Game of Thrones is not the best tv series in worlds history
The fact that Insecure or Silicon Valley are ranked above The Wire of Succession makes this list highly questionable, to say the least... Is it some kind of meta-ranking? Or did someone put this list together on their own?
is the wire in sixth supposed to be a joke or..?
No Arli$$?
The Wire only being 6 eliminates this entire list…
...if you're an American Millennial.
Succession at only 13 is insane.
Does anyone remember Laurel Avenue?! Of all the amazing HBO shows ever made, it's my favorite and I cannot find this one!
Stop ranking things
Good to know that True Detective belongs to this list. But unfortunately the morons of HBOMaxBR don’t see that way, since they removed the show from Brazilian platform
The fact that Big Love is left off this list is a travesty and an insult to all HBO shows
Highlights from the list 19 True Detective 16 The Leftovers 15 Girls 13 Succession 8 Game of Thrones 6 The Wire 5 Insecure
ByClaytonDavis 1) The Wire
The Wire is 6th?
Edited: 2. I May Destroy You. Difficult, uncomfortable, funny - a masterclass of how grey life and people can be. A must for feeling, thinking adults. 1. Sopranos.
Id switch 1 & 3 but whatever if 3 wasn't in the Top 3 I would have started rioting. Six Feet Under: Every episode was golden. The last was platinum has never been repeated, duplicated or attempted. It gutted me. Ive rewatched the seasons but Ill never rewatch that last episode.
Not Necessarily the News, Braingames
👍
Big Little Lies? Hmmmm. Nope
Succession is easily 1, c’mon!
If Rome isn't on the list then the list is bogus. Not to mention that Succession isn't in the top 10.
I'll let Rome & Ballers slide, but no Newsroom & Entourage is practically criminal. Entourage was iconic. Everyone wanted on it. Shit it was Obama's favorite show.
Sure, season 5 of The Wire at 6. Overall show? No way. Monumental achievement.
Veep 2? Fuck no Stop hating on GOT that show was eliiiite
The wire at 6?!?! Get a new job
The Leftovers at 16? Get outta here.
Perhaps the WORST ranking of all time. The Wire at 6?
Nope. “Rome” isn’t on it - I call shenanigans on the entire operation. TheRealKMcKidd
This list is insulting. Where is Entourage? On what planet is Insecure ranked ahead of Game of Thrones? Give me a break.
