With the arrival of HBO Max here in Brazil getting closer, we can now start making a small list of what we want to watch on the platform. But for those who don't want to wait, there is always the option of following along. HBO Max.

HBO GO x HBO Max

HBO GO has been available here in Brazil for a long time, and it brings with it all the channel's productions on its own Streaming service. Usually accompanied by closed channel packages. While the HBO Max that will be launched soon here in Brazil, will be a streaming of Warner Media, of which HBO is part. In other words, HBO Max will be a more complete platform, with all content linked or entitled to Warner, not just HBO.

Anyway, here's a list of some of the Best Original Series on HBO:

WestWorld

One of HBO's great successes today, even though it's recent and hasn't come to an end yet, Westworld is considered one of HBO's best series! Its airing began in 2016 and even the series has 3 seasons, being renewed for its 4th season in April 2020.

Synopsis: Westworld is a futuristic theme park that allows visitors the opportunity to experience the wild west as realistically as possible. The park is “inhabited” by hosts who are super realistic androids (but who believe they are human), being almost impossible to differentiate one from a human just with the naked eye, each of the hosts has a schedule in which it follows a predetermined script. As they sleep their memories of that specific day are erased, and everything repeats again the next day.

However, the unfolding of the plot begins when some hosts begin to show signs of self-consciousness.

Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley comes to prove that HBO is not just a reference for epic or thriller series, but also has a (and a lot) knack for comedy! Its airing began in 2014, but has already come to an end with its sixth season released in 2019.

Synopsis: 4 brilliant, introverted programmers who work at a company called Hooli team up to create a startup called Pied Piper after Richard (Thomas Middleditch) create a website that contained revolutionary compression code that literally every tech company is interested in acquiring.

The Leftovers is a drama series set in a setting after 3 years of a mysterious post-apocalyptic event. This event can be considered by many as the biblical Rapture, that is, it can serve as a basis for having an idea of what the world would look like if the rapture happens.

Synopsis: Follow how society deals with the mysterious event called the “Sudden Departure”, in which about 2% of the world's population disappeared. How was society, especially in the psychological issue, what problems arose after the event...

game of Thrones

I believe that Game of Thrones literally needs no comments, right? But it is impossible to make a list of the best HBO original series without mentioning the series that is considered by many to be the best in existence. Even with the widespread disappointment with the final episode, Game of Thrones is still considered by fans to be a masterpiece, and the arrival of HBO Max is an opportunity for those who still haven't been able to watch it.

Synopsis: Who will sit on the Iron Throne? Follow the history of families and their struggles for the throne that will grant them power over the 7 kingdoms of Westeros. All the betrayals, strategies, manipulations, battles fought, betrayals, coups, check out the war for the throne as winter approaches.

watchmen

Based on the comic book of the same name created in 1987, Watchmen serves as a continuation to the end of the HQ. Watchman was released in 2019, with 1 season so far, but it seems that we will not have a second season. After all, until today a sequel has not been announced so far…

Set in an alternate 20th century, Watchmen is a direct sequel to the events of the comics released in 1987, with the addition of several new characters that enrich the work, while giving it a new, more up-to-date vision.

Synopsis: The plot follows the police of Tulsa, in the United States, who, because of an attack suffered by a group of supremacists, had to hide their faces while trying to discover and contain this dangerous group.

Action and Comedy combine? Barry proves it is, presenting the public with a curious new proposal. Barry started in 2018, so far he has a total of 3 seasons aired, but the script for season 4 is ready.

Synopsis: Barry is a frustrated professional hitman who ends up getting involved with a community of actors and ends up discovering a completely different universe from his own. Embraced by the acting community, Barry is considering changing his profession, but for that he will have to deal with all the risks of abandoning his profession as a killer.

The Sopranos

A classic from HBO, one of the best series from the producer, which began to be shown in the last century, proving that success in creating series is not new. The Sopranos began airing in 1999 and ended in 2007 with a total of 6 seasons.

Synopsis: The Sopranos follows Tony Soprano, a man who tries to manage both his “job” as the leader of a mob family and his family at the same time. His life dramas, which are the central idea of the series, are presented in therapy sessions attended by Tony Soprano.
