customer at my job told me I look like Lena Dunham · u/cinnamongrowl · ↑487 · 2024-08-26
"Time Warner decided to trash HBO's brand and use it to push g*yslop and pay their CEO like $500 million for the pleasure."

"If he got another HBO deal, or was getting interviewed by big media on his projects, that would count."
"It's on HBO, oh no wait it's on Amazon Prime. Do you have a subscription? I don't either, I just use my sister-in-law's, lol!"
Hey have you guys watched the latest prestige tv show? · u/[deleted] · ↑187 · 2021-11-19
"HBO had sort of a streaming "on demand" service back in the day, waited for my parents to leave for the supermarket on a brisk Saturday in 2013, fired up the TV shut all the blinds and got to work."
"But it's the top slop right now at hbo. This is the same network that gave us the sopranos, the wire, boardwalk empire, etc so relax."
/r/TheLastOfUs2 has been both deranged and hilarious the last few weeks. · u/UnderTheTexanSun · ↑169 · 2025-05-24
"HBO Max only really goes back until Oz and some specials here and there. I rememeber there being way more content on HBO with wacky or weird content, like docuentaries about heroin addicts in NYC or the 100 episodes of hippy sex perverts on Real Sex. I feel like there is a ton of material that is si"

"HBO gave them four hours of airtime in 2018 and the median post on their sub has a single automod comment."
"my recs - the q anon docuseries on hbo max (im on ep 1 its well done so far) - koyaanisqatsi on youtube (classicmexperimental cinema) - speed on netflix (brilliantly paced, tight writing, fun action-thriller)"
"Imm sure if I put that on at my mother's place she would think was actually autistic."
"Also should I watch it? I am bored and have HBOMax (Although I assume there is better options, any reccs appreciated)"

10 Bob dylan stories · u/peasarelegumes · ↑68 · 2024-02-12
"The writing is very contrived for a show now trying to pass itself off as more of prestige drama. The comedy feels especially catered to what /r/television thinks is funny and NoHo Hank is like like a parody of himself by this point."
What do you think of Barry on HBO? · u/tacopeople · ↑61 · 2023-05-20
"Rome (HBO $100 million budget for 2 seasons) is decent at best. I, Claudius (BBC, from 1976, low budget) is much better written and acted."
"It's annoying how it cuts between Chase's monologues and scenes from the show, but it sheds a real light on how an abusive relationship with your mother can result in great art."
The Sopranos documentary on HBO is pretty great · u/loves2spwg · ↑52 · 2024-09-23

Gangs of New York is horrific · breppppp · ↑50 · 2023-09-09
"so I found this show like a month or so ago as a chill show to binge after the situationship got too weird and at first it was so solid."
"I was thinking how HBO removed Gone with the Wind, but reposted it days later with a content warning"
"Started watching hbo girls and it's fun but my only prior exposure to Lena Dunham was this video"
"Just watched the first ep of the HBO QAnon documentary. My girlfriend literally had no idea about any of the QAnon stuff (she's not American, doesn't use social media, hates reading about US politics, etc.)."

"CONCEPT: an HBO show on the origins of the Me Too movement, specifically highlighting Harvey Weinstein's scandal and role. An anthology which showcases how he cornered a slew of Hollywood's most famous women; each entry is told from a sympathetic perspective which centers that episode's actress."
"watching the new HBO doc and all I have to say is that Amy Carlson was just a raging alcoholic"
