10 TV Shows That Prove HBO Is Utterly Unbeatable

10. Game of Thrones

game of thrones Adapted from the books of George RR Martin, Game of Thrones is essentially an X-rated Lord of the Rings. It keeps fanboys around the world hooked with its great cast, majestic settings and intricate production design. The scale of the show involves needing an epic budget and HBO have to be commended for supporting a show that would be considered impossible by most networks - not just because of the money needed, but the show is aimed at a very niche audience. Game of Thrones continues to compel, with its many layers and complex characters, not to mention its ability to surprise and shock like no other show currently on TV. It's one of the most eye-grabbing shows on TV, with its epic violence and multiple scene-stealing characters and whilst it is one of the most stylish shows on TV, it understands the importance of substance and it has that in abundance.
