Top 50 HBO Series (2021 edition)

From https://www.pastemagazine.com/tv/hbo/best-hbo-series/, they ranked what they say are the Top 50 HBO series of all time.

I don't think we can really complain about the top 5:

  • The Wire
  • The Sopranos
  • Band of Brothers
  • Barry
  • Six Feet Under

Happy to see BARRY that high up the list

Game of Thrones still made Top 10, but I wonder if the overhyped letdown of the final season dropped them a few slots

The middle 10-20 slots are all fairly solid shows.  I'd have probably ranked Watchmen up a smidge closer to #1 from where it is. Almost definitely would have ranked I May Destroy You into a better number than where it landed

Boardwalk Empire could likely slide back into the higher numbers

Westworld at #36 is a surprise. Season one was fantastic, certainly better than Beartown. OZ at 42 is a travesty. That show (again, season one praise) was really good.  And Euphoria definitely deserves better than it's #50 landing slot.

Your thoughts?

I counted 5 on the list I have not seen. Nonetheless, some goods ones too far down on the list: Oz, Big Love, Vice Principals (fugging hilarious), Silicon Valley at 43?!?!

The Comeback and Enlightened were awful, and how did Luck even make the list when it ran only 2 or 3 episodes?

Newsroom didn't make the list at all?

I still put GOT at 3 on that list even with the hurried, badly written letdown of the final season.  I fuggin loved that show overall.  BOB would come 4th for me followed by Chernobyl.

I really liked The Jinx as well.  

I have begun and lost interest in The Leftovers, Six Feet Under, Rome, Boardwalk Empire and Westworld (this one I should have loved but it was too slow)

Newsroom should be top ten.

Probably too late to talk spoilers, but westworld season one doesn’t get rocking until about episode 5.   If you haven’t read WW spoilers, give the whole of season one another chance .
