- CreatorDavid BenioffD.B. WeissStarsEmilia ClarkePeter DinklageKit HaringtonNine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.The greatest story ever told, A show that only HBO can make. Fascinating episode after episode and never stops surprising. Not a single dull moment, this show has you glued to the screen at every given moment. Also offers a brilliant and groundbreaking conclusion that's truly ahead of its time. An absolute masterpiece, must see.
- CreatorTom FontanaStarsErnie HudsonJ.K. SimmonsLee TergesenA series chronicling the daily activities of an unusual prison facility and its criminal inhabitants.The inception of HBO's dramas. And one of the very best. Devoured this show like crazy, just couldn't stop watching. Once you get in the mindset of the show, know the characters and how things work in the Oswald Penitentry, there's nothing more entertaining to watch, no matter how brutal it is. Got to give some credit to the show that started television as we know it, too.
- CreatorVince GilliganStarsBryan CranstonAaron PaulAnna GunnA chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student in order to secure his family's future.A perfect crime story. Balanced between slow-burner episodes and intense episodes just in the right amount, and keeps you interested through the entire thing. It constantly gets better from season to season, then it reaches the fifth season which might be the best season in television's history. Cranston brings my favorite performance on TV ever, and the writing is top notch. A masterpiece drama.
- CreatorDavid ChaseStarsJames GandolfiniLorraine BraccoEdie FalcoNew Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano deals with personal and professional issues in his home and business life that affect his mental state, leading him to seek professional psychiatric counseling.Classic HBO. The elite of screenwriters and directors.
- CreatorJames Manos Jr.StarsMichael C. HallJennifer CarpenterDavid ZayasHe's smart. He's lovable. He's Dexter Morgan, America's favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and nights committing them.One of the greatest TV show ever, and specially the first 4 seasons.
- CreatorBryan FullerStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasExplores the early relationship between renowned psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter and a young FBI criminal profiler who is haunted by his ability to empathize with serial killers.Three seasons of quality television. Most shows and movies just have you sit there and watch them, with outstanding moments every now and then, but in Hannibal you are literally in the edge of your seat every single moment of every single episode. So sad it got cancelled, I hope it will find a new home soon.
- CreatorTerence WinterStarsSteve BuscemiKelly MacdonaldMichael ShannonAn Atlantic City politician plays both sides of the law by conspiring with gangsters during the Prohibition era.Piece of art. The Sopranos' heir as the elite of screenwriters and directors.

Great premise and a fascinating story with great characters. Add some intriguing fantasy elements just in the right amount- and there's another HBO masterpiece. Great writing, and an exceptional score. Very, very underrated.

- CreatorLarry DavidStarsLarry DavidCheryl HinesJeff GarlinLarry David stars as an over-the-top version of himself in this comedy series that shows how seemingly trivial details of day-to-day life can precipitate a catastrophic chain of events.The only comedy in history better than Seinfeld. Larry David is a genius.
- CreatorLisa JoyJonathan NolanStarsEvan Rachel WoodJeffrey WrightEd HarrisAt the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, waits a world in which every human appetite can be indulged without consequence.It was only a matter of time until Nolan comes to HBO, and as expected the result is at the highest level possible. The most promising show iv'e seen in years, with a whole world to be invested in and so many possibilities and theories. The first season was fantastic, and i'm sure it will only get better.

- CreatorAaron SorkinStarsJeff DanielsEmily MortimerJohn Gallagher Jr.A newsroom undergoes some changes in its workings and morals as a new team is brought in, bringing unexpected results for its existing news anchor.A complete series written by Aaron Sorkin- too good to be true. One of the best written shows on TV.

- CreatorRodrigo GarcíaHagai LeviNir BergmanStarsGabriel ByrneUzo AdubaDianne WiestA psychotherapist questions his abilities and gets help by reuniting with his old therapist, whom he has not seen for ten years.Never thought a show about psychiatrist sessions can be so interesting, but believe me, it's better than you think. The writing team and the leading actors (and especially Byrne) keeps you invested in the characters and just wanting to listen to more. Offers a lot of great story lines, definitely one of the finest shows I've ever seen.
