1. Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones
The 1st place goes to the Game of Thrones in our list of best HBO shows of all time. GoT is about different houses in one realm, but with the upcoming winter, everything is changing. The show is really geeky, it has kings and knights, crowns and swords, dragons and ghosts. Medieval drama is a genre that is rarely seen on television and GoT was a perfect execution of the genre. The narrative is interesting and the episodes are jam-packed with chapter after chapter that ends abruptly in cliffhangers.
2. Sex and the City
Sex and the City
Sex in the City is a fantastic female empowerment show that is entirely honest and Samantha is the fan-favorite since she doesn’t care about relationships. Charlotte is another character we adore because she is the lovely girl next door who appears uncomfortable talking about sex. Sex and the City gives a lot off from its title, and it has an amazing cast and character development overall, granting it 2nd place on our list of best HBO shows of all time.
3. Veep
Veep
Veep’s story follows the new VP as she fights out political flames, mixes up her public and private lives, and tries everything she can to mend her toxic relationship. Without a question, this is one of the finest sitcoms in contemporary television history and is one of the best HBO shows of all time. When you need to laugh, definitely come and watch this. The casting is also excellent and it is comparable to The Office in terms of cast chemistry. We have a warning, though, if you’re easily offended, this is not the program for you.
4. Curb Your Enthusiasm
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Larry David’s life and times, as well as the situations he gets himself into with friends and random strangers in this next one of the best HBO shows of all time, and this show never disappoints. It twists ordinary formalities into funny, full-fledged narratives, and Larry’s charming one-liners and witty writing give the program a unique flavor. We really suggest Curb Your Enthusiasm to anyone looking to have fun and get their mind off stuff because this program is by far the most amusing thing you will ever see on television.
5. The Wire
The Wire
The Wire is about the streets of Baltimore, and they are a microcosm of the United States’ drug war and urban decline in general, and with that plot, it gets 5th place in our ranking of best HBO shows of all time. We watch the show not just through the eyes of a few cops and drug gang members, but also through the eyes of those who get affected. The program had its ups and downs in a few episodes, but it was largely on the upswing, so it will never bore you. What we liked the most was how they depicted politics there because we think it made the final few seasons more fascinating to watch.
6. The Sopranos
The Sopranos
The plot of this show centers around Tony Soprano, a fictitious New Jersey-based Italian American mafia, and the hardships he encounters. The show’s writing, directing, soundtrack, character psychology, and multi-layered drama gave it 6th place on our list of best HBO shows of all time. If you want a taste of realism with exceptional engaging narratives that are also believable, go for The Sopranos because each character’s complexities are examined in great detail.
7. Six Feet Under
Six Feet Under
Six Feet Under chronicles the lives of the Fisher family, who live in and manage a funeral parlor, and to say this is the finest series ever would be an understatement. The series’ ending makes the entire series worthwhile to watch, granting it the 7th place on our list of best HBO shows of all time. When you keep watching it, you will see how the show discreetly conveyed significant themes and it will leave you feeling joyful, sad, contemplative, thankful, insightful, and inspired.
