Is HBO still "highbrow"?

Is HBO still "highbrow"? They haven't made a show to rival Rome or The Sopranos in over 10 years and they seem to be catering to a younger, online audience of girls.

    The leftovers was a masterpiece, won show of the decade, yet never gets disgusted.
    From GoT, white lotus to true defective season 4 theirs a post structuralist undercurrent in their highbrow that’s just bad.
    I feel the only good stuff anymore is from the Japs.

      The problem with Leftovers is that there are like 4 other shows that are very thematically similar to it.

        I could see that with season 1. What made the show was season 3 shitting all over season 1 and shows like it in the best way possible.

      The Leftovers was a book adaptation, it doesn't really count.
      From the last decade, the first season of True Detective and Westworld were the most HBO's high brow original series

      Perhaps but they aren't even trying to court the Emmy voter audience anymore.

        They recently started the sympathizer, that is sure to bring in some emmys after it's run, so will jacks

        As for highbrow stuff, I think they are trying to balance high minded shows with those of commercial value, so for every green lit simmons show on the health care system in some city, it is balanced by dc shows

        Also, they probably realize that max requires at least 6 flagship shows each year for a duration of 8 episodes to maintain subsciber count throughout the year, so the 3 main studios can contribute thusly

        wb: hp series
        hbo: got (hotd/knight) + tlou + euphoria +white lotus
        Dc: 2 series a year is what gunn has promised to deliver, can be a mix of live action and animation

        All the other stuff, besides this flagship, emmy productions can be bundled in with the bigger tent pole releases in the future

      Rome got canceled because they moved all the funding to GoT.
