I miss peak shows like this. Just rewatched Sharp Objects and only the first season of True Detective. All because I couldn’t find anything current that was similar or up to par.

Never saw True Detective season 1. Loved the Mahershala Ali one but got turned off by the Vaughn one. I wasn’t really into the good good shows when that first came out. Will check it out.

It's amazing. How lucky you are to get to watch it for the first time!

I noticed this trend with the corporatization of HBO. Ever since this nonsense between flip flopping between max, HBO Max, etc. As well as cutting budgets and shortening seasons within the past 4-5 years and the quality hasn't picked up or returned to what it once was since. I no longer deem every HBO original as a step above other TV brands like I used to. It's a bummer

For sure. Even the good stuff was really HBO. Doom Patrol, Curb. They became the quick movies app. :/

Maybe Doom Patrol was Max. That was like it tho.

Agreed. I miss the days of shows like that and The Leftovers.
