10 HBO Shows That Made Them King of Prestige TV

Unrestricted by the advertisers that dominate cable, HBO shows gained a reputation for being well-produced and artistically layered, more akin to what you'd see in a movie theater rather than in your living room, hence the name, Home Box Office. With their occasionally ballooned budgets and high-quality production, they laid the foundation and basically wrote the guidebook on what we now know as “prestige TV”. Despite the dawn of streaming services, HBO has kept strong and continued to elevate their original series, acting as shorthand for what audiences accept as premium television. Really, how many times have you heard someone say “eh, that should have been an HBO show?”. Today, we're counting down HBO's ten best shows, spanning multiple genres and vibes, in hopes of highlighting just how handily they claim the crown of prestige TV. While we have taken into account popularity, award wins, and plenty of other factors, ultimately, this list boils down to our personal preference. We've decided to include miniseries as well, but documentaries, reality shows, and other non-scripted stuff is out. That means no matter how badly I want to put The Rehearsal on this list, it just doesn't fit here. Still, there's more than enough stuff to sift through, so let's start from the bottom and work our way to the top as we count down the top 10 HBO shows that crowned them king of prestige TV.
