I'm close to finishing up on The Wire, and have absolutely loved it, even thought about immediately rewatching. So far I've killed The Wire, The Newsroom, Treme, Eastbound and Down, Entourage, Hung, Carnivale, and Sopranos.

I guess all I really have is GoT (seen a couple episodes and didn't catch my attention), Curb your Enthusiasm, deadwood, or boardwalk empire.

Any other suggestions? I have showtime and starz as well if anything I should watch on there. I'm thinking Curb or boardwalk.

I would mix up GoT with Curb episodes.

Deadwood and Boardwalk are must sees. As is Rome. And Larry Sanders. And Mr. Show. And Six feet Under. I really envy you having not seen so many great shows. Besides Wire and Sopranos, the list of HBO shows you've seen consists of the weaker series.

I really don't watch tv that much, other than braves, auburn, falcons, or hawks. All those have been in the last year that I've watched.

HBO: Deadwood or rewatch The Wire
Showtime: House of Lies, Ray Donovan

Also S1 of True Detective if you haven't watched it yet.

Curb is GOAT comedy so I would do that. Binge watching it from beginning to end is awesome and will leave you hoping Larry David surprises us with another season.

Think that's what I'm gonna go with, been wanting a 30 min show after the wire., and a comedy. I've also been thinking of watching all the Seinfelds on netflix, I watch it every night I can or see it on but would like to see it beginning to end.

My favorite HBO comedy, and probably my second favorite overall HBO behind The Wire.

Game of Thrones

Of course random episodes wouldn't hook you. You have to start from the beginning.

I had never watched an episode until a couple months ago, just random clips. I started watching now while IRL they halfway through the latest season. I was caught up in time to watch the last 3 episodes as they premiered.

Completely different style so I can't decide, but I may like it more than The Wire.

You can't go wrong with Curb Your Enthusiasm. I've re-watched episodes multiple times. GOT is great too, just a very long binge ahead for you.

Boardwalk Empire was great the first two seasons, then lost me during the third. I heard the final season ended up being great, so I might pick it back up

Agree with most here that you need to start GoT from the beginning. I was on the fence about it when it first came out, but watched the first season after it was over and LOVED it.

Also agree with Deadwood. In fact, if you don't want to dive into a 5+ season show (GoT) for now, start with Deadwood. It's awesome.

For HBO comedies, Silicon Valley is their best currently. But Hello Ladies (only one season and a movie) is also pretty great, especially if you like Stephen Merchant.

Also glad to see you watched Carnivale...I'm curious of your thoughts on it. I really liked it for the most part, and wish they could've fleshed things out for another couple seasons.
