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.

Rome frickin sucks dick get over yourself.
i just placed all of my most powerful crystals on the floor in a circle, sat in the center, and manifested a really bad car crash for you tomorrow. was this post worth it?
this is anonymous image board.
we shall see, João
fricking moron
I just sacrificed my best bull to Jupiter for the same thing.
You mean Sopranos and Deadwood
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.
Why did you post a pig
You are mistaken as only poverty turd worlders post hogs.
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
HBO has always been sleezecore, not highbrow
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
True Detective, The Wire, The Leftovers, Westworld.
All sleezecore, and out of those only Westworld Se01 is any good.
The Sopranos just depicted White people acting like israelites
>Rome
>Seinfeld With Guns
Highbrow?
What are you smoking?
>people actually think the leftovers is anything other than moronic nonsense
what the frick lmao
I still find it hard to believe HBO made Sopranos and Rome.
Deadwood seems like a dream from a different dimension.
HBO was never "highbrow"
rome got canceled for a reason, it sucked and the sopranos is the most overrated series of all time
Rome got canceled because they moved all the funding to GoT.
HBO was never high brow, no television show can truly be high brow.
Deadwood was highbrow and I will die.on this hill.
There hasn't been a highbrow tv series since the Twin Peaks return, it's just slop now
I guess that Severance show was alright
>Nobody mentioning Succession
...because it's was a b***hy soap opera for women.
