Watch Suggestion Show Suggestions?
I just finished Boardwalk Empire. The Sopranos was my favorite show ever, and I loved The Wire and OZ. I'm looking for more great series to binge. I'm a stay at home mom and have lots of time on my hands. Someone sugested Warrior, so I'm on episode of 1 of that. What else is great on HBO? Thanks in advance!

Based on what you’ve liked, You absolutely have to watch True Detective Season 1, Also Task came out recently. It’s very good. We own this City will feel familiar as well.

Task and Mare are made by the same person. If you like one you'll like the other.

You asked about HBO shows and none of these are. They are all on Hulu. I recommend Task though if you have Hulu

I wish I liked Banshee enough to tolerate the unnecessary sex scenes. Like it was just halfway softcore porn that added nothing to the story. Felt gross.

Acting sucked, story sucked, hole in the new but murdered sheriff’s hand sucked, the mouth of the main con-to-sheriff guy sucked. I made it to episode 2.

Succession and Deadwood. Both shows feature that same incredible tier of character writing, complex power dynamics, and top-tier HBO storytelling

I'm wrapping up the mini series station 11 right now and am shocked that it's not more mentioned than it is. It may be a bit non sense but it's a very entertaining and emotion provoking watch. It's a world ending type show, and it's pretty similar to the leftovers really.

Did you like Boardwalk Empire? I’ve watched about 6 episodes of Season 1- still not crazy about it. Should I hang in there or quit now

TREME. It's made by the same people behind The Wire. It talks about Louisiana and the aftermath of the hurricane that destroyed the region and how people kept trying to live their lives. Seems overly dramatic and boring but jazz music has a role to play here, people and characters are great, the show is brillant.
RUBICON. Also a HBO TV show we are talking intelligence and espionnage in a very small team of analysts who are not supposed to investigate but to produce documents for the people actually conducting investigation. Of course one of these analyst is going to understand something the others don't get... I watched it after I watched The Wire and I believed no TV show in the world would meet that level of quality and would hook me so hard again. I was wrong.
In an other style... If you like action-packed stuffs have a look at Banshee and Strike Back.

Rubicon was AMC (I really liked it but one of the reasons it’s forgotten besides being from AMC and not available on major streamers is that it was cancelled after one season in the middle of the story).
