What's a good, but little known HBO show?

>>81548636
Enlightened. It's much better than it looks.

>>81548636
Big Little Lies

Carnivale

>>81548666
This too. Really great miniseries.

Hell, OP just watch all of their miniseries in the last ten years. They are very impressive.

Big Little Lies barely got talked about here and it was great.

Vice Principals

Generation Kill?
Everyone I've asked about it has never heard of it but I thought it was on par with BoB even though they're completely different

Oz. Quite known but rarely spoken of. Go see it.

John From Cincinnati is the most patrician HBO show, in the sense that it's their closest thing to arthouse, alienated most viewers but it's brilliant. Luck as well.
In Treatment (S1&2) very unusual concept that makes it difficult to binge-watch, should be appreciated one episode per day right before sleep for maximum comfy
Flight of the Conchords, very unique and creative
Spawn, shame they gave up on doing high quality animation after that, American adult animation is always poorly drawn comedies and HBO could have changed that trend


Carnivale, Oz, Generation Kill are must watch, but get mentioned often on the board

>>81548871
Big Love is pretty mediocre but has its moments. Too much soap opera bullshit though.

Anything mentioned in this thread except for Big Little Lies, which is not little known, but also "pushed agenda: the show"

Made by active SJWs who talk about bringing the "patriarchy" down on a daily basis. Made for SJWs who actively try to influence forums and other social media stuff.

Its basically their little manifest. I know this because I'm sharing a flat with three of those lunatics.

Tbh it was the worst episode, I mean the way all storylines connected in that one point, it's completely incompatible with the rest of the show that is quasi-realistic (with some mild elements of comedy), while the final is like taken from some soap opera or B class thriller.

Does Carnivale end with any conclusion? I'm asking because I've heard that the show was cancelled at some point.

>>81552871
It does, but it was supposed to be 3 x 2 season with a generation separating each "part", ending in modern days
So the first part ends, but the whole story doesn't

Vastly superior to Boardwalk Empire in every way and while it ended early the first season functions as a kino miniseries. Accomplishes more in the way of characterization in one season than in five of BE.

Comedykino

Family Tree

Written by Christopher Guest (Spinal Tap) and staring Chris O'Dowd. There are only like 6 episodes, though. Plus I think like 15 people total watched it because HBO did no promotion for it for some reason, even though its one of the funniest shows I've seen. The humor is really dry, though, like I could see people not realizing it's a comedy and thinking its a drama and getting bored because the jokes aren't obvious ones and are mostly set up and paid off later like Arrested Development

I feel like there is so much hidden kino in this thread, pity I only have the attention span to watch camaraderie between characters and pew pew pew violence

I don't think it's necessarily anti-military even if it is anti-Iraq. I think it actually aims to make you sympathise with how poorly prepared the military was to fight this war, and the marines' frustration with the lack of direction and plan for what happened once they reached Baghdad.

This last scene was also incredible and stuck with me for a long time senpai
