My brain is so fried right now I can t think of specifics, but you definitely can't go wrong keeping an HBO subscription if you're looking for quality programming.
Yeah, it’s definitely a desert island kind of channel. FX is probably the closest in terms of the amount of my favorite shows in every genre.
I feel like Justin Theroux's character in Wanderlust right now because I am so out of touch, all I can think of off the top of my head is Oz haha.
The Sopranos The Wire Deadwood Six Feet Under The Leftovers Boardwalk Empire Big Little Lies Sharp Objects Curb Your Enthusiasm The Comeback In Treatment Whoops that’s too many. And that’s just off the top of my head. There are tons more.
Wow - I really forgot Deadwood, Six Feet Under & Boardwalk Empire were all HBO. Even The Wire I forget sometimes where it aired originally.
There really are tons. I also need to watch stuff like Barry which I’m sure would end up on that list based on the hype I’ve heard. Don’t think I know much about Tyrant beyond the name. I appreciate that FX usually gives shows enough time to finish their stories, did that not happen for it?
All HBO has to do now is acquire the rights to World War Z and do it as a miniseries like Band of Brothers and it will officially cement itself as GOAT, I don’t care what comes after we’re all gone.
I have never read the book but from everything I have read or heard about it, THIS would be the way to do the story right. Would make for an incredible show too.
No, they only got 3 seasons and was getting no where in the ratings sadly. It wasn’t that great of a show or anything but I was invested in the story and wanted to know what was going to happen haha. The last ep of season 3 does work as an ending if need be but...there was more story there that they had set up for.
John from Cincinnati is really underrated. I think it’s a borderline top tier HBO show and it never gets talked about from what I see
It’s literally what that book was written to be, IMO. Even having the same set up as BoB where they’re “interviewing” the characters would work perfectly. It’s a great book i highly recommend it, even if you’re not a zombie fan the geopolitics of it are cool, if a little dated now. Lots of obvious references to the Iraq war and other things of the time.
Until the two part movie was announced I had been yelling at the sky for years for HBO to do a miniseries for It. Honestly I still want one even though this adaptation has been great.
To throw my two cents into what I wish HBO would do... I really, really, really want them to adapt Carlos Ruiz Zafon's Cemetery of Forgotten Books quartet into four miniseries. It would be extraordinary.
I am loving the movies we are getting right now so far as well, but IT is another one that I think definitely has enough story and lent itself really well to miniseries format. Or whatever you call what a season of like True Detective is.
A more straight anthology version of what Castle Rock is doing where each season is a King book is my DREAM.
This would be insanely awesome, and I also feel like it would be really popular. The audience is definitely there. Pitch that shit to them! Or Netflix! You can be the next Pizzolatto or Duffer Brothers.
