From crime sagas to gritty superhero series, discover your next drama binge.
Everyone could use a little drama in their lives, and HBO Max is the perfect place to get your fix. HBO practically pioneered the model for high-quality, character-driven premier television series, so it’s no surprise they’ve got the best picks. Whether it be crime dramas, sci-fi serials, or a comedic show with a heaping helping of heart, they’ve got what you need. Here are the best drama shows on HBO Max.
Based on the hit novel by Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven is a post-apocalyptic miniseries that takes place 20 years after a pandemic brings about societal collapse. The show follows a group of traveling performers that wander the lands looking for survivors and people in need of a little levity in an unceasing world of rugged survival. Unfortunately, not all the survivors they find are as benevolent as their little caravan of found family.
Chernobyl is not for the faint of heart, but this dramatization of the true events of the 1986 nuclear plant disaster is a masterpiece of storytelling from the first frame to the very last. Radiating with a cast of amazing actors, including Stellan Skarsgård , Jared Harris , Barry Keoghan and Emily Watson , the series explores the disaster from all angles, from the common man affected by the radioactive fallout to the top government officials trying to cover it up.
Creator Michaela Coel delivers one of the most entertaining series out there that makes a story about sexual assault as palatable as possible without diminishing the message and effects of such a horrible act. That said, consider this a trigger warning that the series does not shy away from its central premise of Coel’s character Arabella trying to rebuild her life after a night of partying ends in tragedy.
Based on the horror novel of the same name by Matt Ruff, Lovecraft Country is a fascinating tale steeped in science fiction and fantasy with a touch of Black history at the center. The series follows Atticus Freeman and Letitia 'Leti' Lewis as they try to navigate a world of magic and secret organizations while trying to survive in the South during the 1950s Jim Crow era.
Before The Shield and Breaking Bad, the sympathetic monster you loved to hate was Tony Soprano, played by the late great James Gandolfini . The Sopranos is an influential mobster drama that approaches the genre from a new perspective, removing the glamor and fine-tailored suits from mob life and instead focusing on the stress of running a criminal empire.
