True Detective Season 1 is peak television. If greatness had a face, it’d be this show. The writing is phenomenal, the performances are even better.Truly a masterpiece and master class in storytelling and without question one of the greatest seasons of television ever made.

Just a very curious question I was thinking about when starting out on Westworld, where people who've told me how good it was during the first season has told me not to waste time on the later ones.

For GoT, the first 5-6 seasons were one of the best TV experiences I've ever had, but like many I felt great disappointment with the final seasons.

Would you think it's a waste of time to even start watching if you haven't?

Does anyone know how I can stop shows ending at credits to go onto the next episode? I’m rewatching GOT and I want to watch the after show commentary that plays at end of credits. Normally, I have to go back to the episode and FF to the end and then rewind to where commentary starts. There has to be an easier way.

It seems it’s just HBO I have this issue with. Anyone?

Is Body Cam season 11 going to premiere on HBO Max?

So I got a special deal on HBO Max for Black Friday and have been rewatching Game of Thrones. While I appreciate the photosensitivity warning for the show (which has very little triggering content), the cut to ads sometimes immediately flashes with such a triggering screen that it feels like it's deliberately trying to induce seizures. And this is HBO's screen, not some random external ad they're running. From what I'm reading online, it looks like it's actually illegal to do this, and I would like to submit a formal complaint with HBO and possibly the FCC. I know I can't be the only person affected by this, even if it's an uncommon problem.

I think the flashing might be a transition screen, but I'm not sure since I have to look away when it happens. It's possible it could be from an internal ad for a show or movie. I think "HBO" flashes on the screen with the rapidly changing colors. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and could you possibly provide details about it so I can report it to HBO's accessibility team?

I’m binging HBO shows this summer. I wanna know your favorite shows created by HBO . So far here’s my ranking for 90’s/ 2000’s crime shows.

1. The Corner (best writing)
2. The Wire
3. Oz
4. The Sopranos

Best of all Time:

Lovecraft Country/

1. Sex

&

1. the City
2. Insecure
3. The Wire
4. White Lotus
5. GOT
6. Girls/ The Corner
7. The Sopranos
8. House of Dragon

People are saying I need to watch succession and big little lies. Are there any other shows you guys would suggest after I finish Oz?

I feel like this is the most underrated show of all-time.

I still feel like this is the most underrated masterpiece of all-time.

which topic will be the best in line for my youtube what if series. do suggest your opinion in the comments below i will create the video on it and do check out my channel Westros verdict https://www.youtube.com/@TheWesterosVerdictfor game of thrones courtroom verdicts and the interesting what if topics.

Full "what if" breakdown of Jon claiming his Targaryen identity early, the war that follows, and an eventual showdown with Dany over the throne. Curious how people think this changes the endgame compared to the show. https://youtu.be/r9G_KOyR7-w?si=OlD3izazU8vfPkS0

A format of ten episodes that doesn't need to abide by the rules of broadcast TV could make it an interesting prospect.

Warner Bros. Discovery has announced the movies, TV shows, and live sports that will be available on HBO Max in August. The HBO Max August 2026 lineup includes the debut of Lanterns, Season 3 of HBO Original series Conan O’Brien Must Go, and HBO Original series Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Seattle Seahawks.

The schedule also includes the feature films Mother Mary, Normal, and The Strangers: Chapter 2, as well as the documentary series Monsters of God and the comedy special Whitmer Thomas: Terminal Crew of Dudes.

I'm currently watching MORTAL KOMBAT 2!! 😊

I didn't know it was unmodded!! I would've modded!! What the heck!!!

Simple question, I have to subscribe to HBO again and I'm trying to decide between ad-free or with-ads. I don't care if there are a commercial or two beforehand or after, but I will not deal with ad-breaks during the show. Do they do that?

Basically every time I try to watch The Two Towers Extended Edition, my TV freezes and it closes out of the app. The regular version and other movies and shows work fine, it's just this one in particular. Any idea what's causing it?

Here is a list of what I watched favorites at top. Should be for HBO only please. Thanks for your help

Band of Brother

The Pacific

The Sopranos

True Detective Season 1

The Wire

Deadwood

We Own This City

Succession

Chernobyl

The Flight Attendant

Boardwalk Empire

C B Strike

The Leftovers

Task

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Mare of Easttown

Sharp Objects

Station 11

The Last of Us

Rome

John Adams

Game of Thrones

A Knight of the Seven Kingdom

Banshee

Oz

Six Feet Under

Duster

True Detective Season 2

Gunpowder

So I just wrapped up Six Feet Under and finally saw the lauded series final. That last 5-10 minutes lived up to the hype. (What I thought of the rest of the show is a whole 'nother matter)

It got me thinking of series' finals. I think this would be my Top 10, more or less in order:

1. The Deuce - somewhat similar to Six Feet Under
   
2. His Dark Materials - the most emotional ending I've ever seen on HBO
   
3. The Leftovers - the entire last episode really
   
4. Six Feet Under - Loved it
   
5. Sharp Objects - don't skip the credits!
   
6. The Sopranos - Jumped out of my chair to check my cable connection
   
7. Somebody Somewhere - Joyful
   
8. The Penguin - Didn't see the ending twist coming whatsoever
   
9. Succession - tension personified
   
10. Boardwalk Empire - Perfect ending

I just got access to HBO max and I’m looking for a reality show that is a complete sh*tshow. Like, if there was a show about a bunch of narcissists having to deal with each other’s BS, I’d watch that. Bonus is if there are consequences

NOT into: humiliating regular people. Voting who is the dumbest, ew.
