HBO and HBO Max Series Ranked by Tomatometer
Game of Thrones may have been HBO’s most popular show ever — but is the epic fantasy series HBO’s all-time best-reviewed show?
Well, the short answer is no.
The longer answer is that both HBO and HBO Max have built a powerhouse library of acclaimed series that span prestige drama, sharp comedy, and genre-defining storytelling. Alongside HBO’s signature hits from The Sopranos and Chernobyl to Barry , Big Little Lies , and Westworld — the expansion to HBO Max brought even more fan-favorite and critic-approved originals into the fold, including Hacks , Our Flag Means Death , Peacemaker , The Flight Attendant , and The Sex Lives of College Girls .
We’ve rounded up Tomatometer scores for the best HBO series and miniseries to make a list to fill your binge-watch calendar into next year. To qualify for the list, a series must have at least 10 reviews counting toward its score.
