For decades, HBO has had a catchphrase to describe its shows: “It’s not TV, it’s HBO.” A little presumptuous, but not incorrect. HBO original programming, including The Sopranos, Oz, and The Wire, ranks among some of the best shows the medium has ever produced. HBO has also furthered its brand by focusing on quality over quantity. This is why the words “an HBO original series” is still an expression that has power in Hollywood. This summer, HBO isn’t slowing down, and there are a number of new shows that you can watch in addition to old favorites. But before you make your choices, check out our updated picks for the best HBO series that you can stream right now.
