Home Box Office or HBO, as
the kids call it today, is a cable TV company founded over 50 years
ago in 1972. Since that era a lot has changed, including HBO’s
content. It went from commercial-free movies to TV shows like the
Game of Thrones, the Sopranos and other modern masterpieces of cable
television.
They’ve been giving the
viewers amazing content way before Chernobyl or Westworld rolled into
town, and many people think that we should thank HBO for the current
golden age of TV. Naturally, after 50+ years of TV programming, there
are some titles worthy of being called “crème de la crème”. In
other words, here are the top 10 best HBO shows of all time!
10. Silicon Valley
Ever wanted to know how
the Silicone Valley operates? This show is just for you then! It
follows goofy and sometimes outrageous adventures of five nerds on
their road to establishing one of the biggest tech companies ever!
9. Getting On
Getting On is like an
amalgamation of House MD, ER, and Scrubs, but with a lot more bad
attitude and heart. I mean, Laurie Metcalf is in it. That fact alone
should be enough to grant this show a spot on this list. Definitely
one of the funniest shows on HBO.
8. Six Feet Under
You’re gonna cry, you’re
gonna laugh, and you’re gonna clench your butt. This show is all
about the characters, no BS gimmicks, no fake-outs – only real
emotions and pitch-black humor. I mean, you don’t win 9 Emmy awards
for doing something wrong, right?
7. Westworld
Definitely one of the
smartest shows on this list. Starts out as a western, but then you
quickly realize it’s all just for show, and robots are taking over. I
also have no idea what’s going on beyond that, but people are say
there are some weird things going on behind the scenes.
6. True Blood
Vampires! Ooh, spooky
scary bloodsuckers are on the loose again. But don’t worry, this time
the night-dwellers are all sexy, dark, and full of horrors, as
compared to the twinkly kind. Galons of blood, snarky dialogues, and
Anna Paquinn. You’re welcome!
5. The Wire
Who here hasn’t
heard about “The Wire”? It’s not only one of the best HBO shows
ever, it’s also one of the top TV shows ever. Period!
4. Sex and the City
Carrie, Charlotte,
Samantha, and Miranda pretty much edged out the Metropolitan magazine
with all their dating and sex advice. This show defined at least one
generation of viewers, female and
male, so for that, it gets the spot in the top 5!
3. The Sopranos
I’ve personally never
watched it, but millions of people all over the world who are smarter
than me can’t be all wrong. All I know is that the ending was quite
the shocker for the fans. Don’t be like me, watch the show that could
possible be the best piece of television on this or any other list.
2. Game of Thrones
Despite having a quite
controversial final season, Game of Thrones is still an incredible
creation with a stunning cast and uncanny plot twists swirling love,
hate, and treachery in every episode. It’s just the best!
1. Chernobyl
Granted, Chernobyl is still young, but it’s already rated as the best show ever produced. Not only does it shed the much-needed light on the world’s worst man-made disaster, but it also reveals just how incredibly stupid and inadequate the USSR system was.
