Who knows, I wouldn't buy hbo if it didn't come with my phone service
It is literally the worst UI in all of streamingdom.

HBO used to be king of original content. Since they blew their wads on GoT. The rest of their shows have dropped off the table, absolute crap

Yeah, I don't watch much of the originals, I'll watch some movies for background. I did watch that CS Strike series, which are books written by jk Rowling

I’m from the generation that knows Cinemax skinemax. Watched a ton of soft porn as a teenager after midnight on it. Lady Chatterly etc.

HBO was known to have the premier content.

Makes no sense to me. It’s like Hilton dropping their name and going by Hampton.

They see it as the Hampton not using the Hilton name and muddying their brand.

I hadn’t seen that angle. But why? The future is streaming. Disney just calls their app Disney and killed their tv channel I believe.

Because the content is more WB content not just HBO - includes Discovery, IFC, etc. They want the HBO brand to still mean HBO and not be confused with the other cable TV content.

Me too. That **** was hot as a 14 year old. Too bad everyone having hardcore porn at their fingertips pretty much killed it. Kids from now on will never know the struggle. That's half of what's wrong with em' imo.

Remember "Dream On" about a dorky book editor who gets laid with a different hot woman constantly? Loved that show.

What are you talking about? Barry is awesome. The Last of Us. Euphoria. Several great mini series in recent years. Watchmen was phenomenal. Succession is in the running for best show of all time. We'll see how they land the plane on Sunday.

Haven't watched Euphoria but agree on Barry and TLOU. Chernobyl was another good one I've watched recently.

You're criminally leaving out Chernobyl. In my opinion, it overtook Band of Brothers as the best mini-series there's ever been, with BoB still a very close second.

Tell me you are ignorant without telling me you're ignorant. Succession, Barry and Righteous Gemstones are laps better than 99.9% of content on any other platform or channel.

We shall see after those first two close out but dude.

Gemstones shouldve crested that hill then coasted to a halt after 1st season. Give me another season of E&D.

Barry doesnt move the needle. May give it another shot.

Never watched first epi of Succession. But I dont like drama.

That's HBO's brand. The Wire, Sopranos, Oz, Six Feet Under, Succession, Euphoria, hell, even Deadwood and GoT at their core are dramas.

You have terrible taste. You say you don't like drama but all three are not drama. They are dark comedies. And the sheer quality of writing, acting and direction make them required watching.
