8 HBO Shows That Still Hold Up Surprisingly Well
HBO has delivered some of the most iconic shows on television, from Sex and the City to Game of Thrones and The Last of Us. Looking back into the archives of the premium network, there are many great shows that are just as good today as they were back then, holding up to even the newest, flashiest shows from the premium network. This is impressive since some of them cover controversial and even timely content.
Dating all the way back to 1999, these series include crime dramas, comedies, and everything in between. If you haven’t watched them yet, they’re worth checking out now, all available to stream now on HBO’s streaming arm, HBO Max. Even if you watched way back when, you’ll find on a rewatch, these shows are just as fresh and relevant today as they were when they first came out.
1
The Sopranos (1999–2007)
Everyone loves a good mafia-based crime drama, and there’s arguably none better than The Sopranos. Often credited with ushering in the second Golden Age of Television, The Sopranos presents like a movie but in episodic format. Tony Soprano (the late James Gandolfini) is a Mafia boss in New Jersey who meets with his psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Melfi (Lorraine Bracco) to help him deal with panic attacks, the result of trying to balance the stress of his job with being a good family man.
The show is downright brilliant, all its best episodes offering the elements you want in a mafia crime show, from the backdrop of New York to the colorful characters, the extreme violence, intimidating figures, and compelling storylines that keep you at the edge of your seat all the way through. With six seasons, The Sopranos is just as good today as it was back in 1999 when it helped put HBO on the map as a provider of quality TV. It has inspired so many shows that have come since.
2
The Newsroom (2012–2014)
Given the current political landscape, The Newsroom is arguably more relevant today than it was more than a decade ago when it premiered. The political drama follows the inner workings of a fictional news channel, pulling back the curtain for fans to see what goes into covering breaking news stories fairly, accurately, and in a timely manner. At the heart is Jeff Daniels as opinionated anchor Will McAvoy and Emily Mortimer as his producer and former love interest.
The story, which hails from Aaron Sorkin who created The West Wing, covers all the hot topics that are still prevalent today, including trust and bias in the media, fair and accurate reporting, and balancing personal interests and opinions with those of the network, and those who run it. Sure, it’s about the interpersonal relationships, too. But that part is arguably secondary. The opening scene of the first episode, when a college student asks McAvoy in an auditorium full of people why America is the greatest country in the world, and he delivers a scathing monologue in response, sets the tone and instantly demonstrates why The Newsroom still makes sense today.
3
Silicon Valley (2014–2019)
The world of tech continues to move at a rapid pace, yet Silicon Valley, which skewers it, is as fitting today as it was a decade ago. The series features parodies of some of the biggest tech corporations and personalities, in overly exaggerated, hilarious fashion. It’s centered on a young programmer trying to get his groundbreaking algorithm off the ground, only to realize he’s a small fish in a huge pond that will eat him alive. The situation is one the industry continues to face today with more consolidation, acquisitions, and few massive corporations ruling the roost.
The comedy series, which aired for six seasons, will leave you guessing who is playing a satirical version of whom, which companies are being mocked, and if the tech industry really is as it’s depicted. From incubators to corporate bosses skirting legalities to get what they want, eccentric billionaires, and nerds with brilliant minds but no business sense, it’s a window into the world of tech. All it needs is more AI, and you’d think the show was made in 2026.
4
Getting On (2013–2015)
There’s arguably no medical show that doesn’t hold up today. The medical profession is pretty much the same now as it was decades ago, and certainly when this show was on the air. As a comedy, Getting On is one of the lesser known, shorter-lived ones. But it has a fantastic cast that includes Laurie Metcalf, Alex Borstein, and Niecy Nash, and places the spotlight on nurses versus doctors.
It also differentiates from others, even ones today, as it doesn’t take place in an emergency room but rather the extended care unit of the hospital. Fans of medical shows have their pick of the litter when it comes to types, from the most realistic ones like The Pitt to soapier ones like Grey’s Anatomy. Getting On fits closer in line with shows like Scrubs, and it’s just as funny.
5
Treme (2010–2013)
Natural disasters don’t have an end date: they will continue to happen, ravaging towns and cities and leaving horror in their wake. When one happens, we don’t forget about it either. Treme is a drama that looks back at the months after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. But the show takes a positive spin by following the residents there who work hard to rebuild their community.
A story of people coming together that highlights the unique New Orleans culture and personalities, it’s a love letter to the city that will stand the test of time. From the musical performances to the fantastic cast, Treme received universal praise for how accurately it portrayed the city and residents. It’s a great show for those who went through it, and for those who want a better idea of the wreckage the devastating hurricane left behind and the resilience and determination it took to bring the city back to life.
6
Divorce (2016–2019)
One of those forgotten comedy dramas and great HBO shows you probably haven’t seen, Divorce stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Thomas Haden Church as a couple in the middle of a divorce, navigating their complicated relationship and new lives. Divorce sadly never goes out of style, and the issues the couple deals with, from infidelity that caused the breakdown of the marriage to trying to co-parent, are still just as prevalent today as they were a decade ago when the show premiered.
The dark humor and chemistry between the leads have been praised especially, both Parker and Church wonderfully toeing the line between drama and comedy. The supporting cast is great as well, including Talia Balsam, Molly Shannon, and Becki Newton alongside Jemaine Clement, Jeffrey DeMunn, and Yul Vazquez as recurring characters. The show tackles the complexities, awkwardness, and devastation of divorce from a raw and real yet also humorous perspective.
7
The Wire (2002–2008)
The idea of the criminal justice system continuing to truck on as it intersects with everything from the government to print news media, education, and the illegal drug trade, is all part of how the world has worked for decades and continues to work today. This is at the heart of The Wire, arguably one of the best crime dramas ever on television.
Raw, real, and intense, The Wire flew under the radar when it initially aired on HBO but has since developed a cult following. Many name it among the best shows of all time, not just in its genre. It’s filled with character actors versus big-name stars, which adds to the authenticity of the show. This is amplified by the fact that the series was created by a former police reporter and the stories are loosely based on ones from his writing partner, a former homicide detective and public school teacher.
8
Six Feet Under (2001–2005)
As they say, there are two things in life you can’t escape: death and taxes. Six Feet Under is all about the former, following a family that owns a funeral home. Along with dealing with death and grieving families every day, the show highlights the personal relationships among the family members, with topical issues like homosexuality, relationships, and religion, all of which continue to be hotbed topics today.
The drama is considered to be one of the best shows of all time, airing for five seasons and culminating in what many refer to as one of the best series finales ever. The cast is tremendous, with actors like Richard Jenkins, Michael C. Hall, Frances Conroy, and Lauren Ambrose, all of whom went on to have successful careers in acting following the show’s ending. It’s the type of show you could watch today and, aside from the lower production value compared to today’s flashier shows, and the fact that the known actors are much younger, it feels like it was only just made.

BAFTA N-Word Controversy
BBC Caught Other Racial Slur Incident Before Air
Published
The BBC is under fire for failing to edit out the N-word from its broadcast of the BAFTAs … though the organization has reportedly told employees it did catch another slur.
Here’s the deal … Kate Phillips — the Chief Content Officer for the British Broadcasting Company — sent an email to staff members apologizing that the racial slur involuntarily thrown at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo by Tourette’s activist John Davidson wasn’t edited out of the broadcast.
BBC
However, Phillips also seemingly praised editors in the staff email because they “removed another racial slur from the broadcast.”
Phillips continued, “I’m so sorry that a racial slur was not edited out of our broadcast. We understand how distressing this was. Award attendees were pre-warned about the possibility of involuntary verbal tics associated with Tourette syndrome at the start of the show, and Alan Cumming addressed it during the broadcast. Of course, this doesn’t lessen the impact and upset.”
Davidson has already addressed the controversy in a public statement … in which he wrote, “I am, and always have been deeply mortified if anyone considers my involuntary tics to be intentional or to carry any meaning.”
Lindo told Vanity Fair no one from the BAFTAs checked in on him and Jordan personally after the incident … though he wished someone had. The BAFTAs issued a formal public apology Monday morning.

Just watch out for stupid Canadian wolf-birds!
By Robert Scucci
| Published
Given the Mad Max franchise’s influence on the pop culture landscape since it kicked off in 1979, it’s easy to call any post-apocalyptic road thriller set in the Australian Outback a cheap imitation. The way I’ve made peace with that kind of assessment is by appreciating the fact that Mad Max created its own distinct genre, where there’s plenty of room for filmmakers to work out similar concepts while still offering their own take. 2014’s The Rover, written and directed by David Michôd, is a shining example of using the punishing Australian desert as a backdrop to tell his story about a society well into its ongoing collapse.
With Guy Pearce leading the charge with support from Robert Pattinson, The Rover is a violent journey across barren landscapes inhabited by people who’ve been forgotten by the rest of the world. It’s a lawless land, but there are still clear power structures at play. Watching those structures slowly fall apart makes for a satisfying watch because society collapsed recently enough for people to remember the before times, but not so recently that they aren’t aware of where things are heading.
A Rampage For A Stolen Car
Before The Rover’s conflict is properly established, we’re introduced to Archie (David Field), Caleb (Tawanda Manyimo), and Henry (Scoot McNairy). They’re fleeing a robbery, and with them is Rey (Robert Pattinson), Henry’s younger brother. Having been injured during the robbery, Rey is kicked out of the vehicle and left for dead. During the scuffle, their car crashes, prompting them to steal a new getaway vehicle.
Unfortunately for the gang, they stole a car belonging to a nomadic loner named Eric (Guy Pearce). Having lived through society’s initial collapse roughly 10 years earlier, which resulted in the loss of his family and his farm, Eric doesn’t take too kindly to the thieves and immediately sets out to hunt them down, obstacles be damned. Stumbling upon a gravely injured Rey, who he knows was at the very least indirectly responsible for his car getting stolen, Eric brings him to a doctor to nurse him back to health before grilling him on his brother’s whereabouts.
Along the way, Eric has violent encounters with a gun-dealing dwarf operating out of an opium den, traveling circus members, and what’s left of the Australian Army, who still try to exert power over the country’s citizens despite lacking the firepower they once had. Rey, dragged along and not fully himself due to his injuries, proves to be more burden than leverage, complicating matters for Eric, who just wants to retrieve his car and get back to being a miserable drunk wandering through the wasteland.
A Madmaxian Action Flick That Stands On Its Own
While the obvious Mad Max setup can be found in The Rover, it never once feels like a carbon copy of the franchise that inspired it. We’ve got the Australian desert, car chases, and showdowns packed with firepower, but given how wide-reaching the lore is in Mad Max, there’s plenty of room for films like The Rover to occupy similar thematic territory while traveling a completely different road. Using that template as a jumping-off point, The Rover tells a more personal story about loss and revenge that would work just as well in any other setting.
Michôd has gone on record about the similarities, stating, “You put cars in the desert in Australia and people are going to think of Mad Max, and with all due respect to that film, I think The Rover is going to be way more chillingly authentic and menacing.” He’s not wrong in that assessment because there are no nitro trucks and masked marauders here. There’s no sprawling folklore that feels almost biblical. Instead, we get a raw glimpse of humanity barely hanging on by a thread, and we witness the continued collapse of society while it’s still actively happening.
As of this writing, The Rover is streaming on Netflix.

Ari Pens A Sweet Message To Her Mannnnn Moneybagg Yo
On Monday, Feb. 23, Ari took to Instagram with a heartfelt message for her man, Moneybagg Yo. On her Story, she shared a photo of her hand showing off a tattoo of his legal first name, “Demario,” while a massive diamond sparkled on her ring finger.

I’ll always follow your lead because you are a true leader and I know greatness comes with wherever you decide to go. I would choose life with you over and over again in any life.”
Moneybagg later reportedly responded via his Instagram Story, writing, “Foreva Us my Zawja 🤞🏾 #TheUnbreakables”
Social Media Reacts
Ari’s sweet message to Moneybagg Yo sparked mixed reactions in The Shade Room’s comments. While some fans thought the tattoo and tribute were cute, others brought up past drama in their relationship. Specifically, a few critics mentioned recent rumors linking Ari to Lil Baby, while others suggested the latest gestures were related to her ex, G Herbo, and his engagement to Taina Williams. However, Ari’s supporters quickly defended her, saying they love the bond she shares with Moneybagg and believe the couple is genuinely happy.
Instagram user @straightouttachat wrote, “She love that man down, baby! ❤️❤️”

Love And Going RIAA Gold
A few months ago, rapper Moneybagg Yo celebrated a major milestone after earning 25 new gold. Reflecting on the achievement, he wrote:
“So All My Support, Die Hards and Certified We Got #25 Mo Trophies In Today. We Like 75 Plaques In! This History Coming From Where I Came From! Now Watch How We Shake Sht Up With This New Work. #ForevaHoldYourPeace Album Soon!”
While the Memphis rapper was in a celebratory mood, Ari made sure to show love and support for her partner. Among the plaques was also the couple’s record, ‘Brain Dead,’ which earned a gold RIAA certification. The 2020 record, featured on ‘Code Red,’ the joint project with Blac Youngsta, captures the emotional ups and downs of a relationship and even includes a voicemail from Ari. Celebrating the plaque, Ari wrote: “Not I got my first plaque @moneybaggyo. I’m so proud of you and all of your success. Not just witnessing it but being apart of it.”

What Do You Think Roomies?
Hilary Duff gave her fans chills when she debuted her comeback earlier this year. Now, just days into releasing her first album in a decade, the pop star is grieving the loss of a dear person from her childhood. On Monday (Feb. 23), she shared two throwback photos and a caption honoring Robert Carradine. Fans of Disney in the 2000s will remember him as her TV dad on the hit show, ‘Lizzie McGuire.’ Carradine’s family confirmed on Monday that he died at age 71.

What Happened To Robert Carradine?
In a Tuesday statement, Robert Carradine’s family said he lived with bipolar disorder for two decades. His brother, Keith Carradine, told Deadline that Carradine died by suicide. The actor was the youngest of his prolific Hollywood family. His biggest hit was the 1984 comedy ‘Revenge of the Nerds,’ but many millennials remember him for his role as Lizzie McGuire’s dad on Disney Channel.
“We want people to know it, and there is no shame in it,” Keith Carradine told Deadline. “It is an illness that got the best of him, and I want to celebrate him for his struggle with it, and celebrate his beautiful soul. He was profoundly gifted, and we will miss him every day.”
EDITOR’S NOTE — This story includes discussion of suicide. If you or someone you know needs help, the national suicide and crisis lifeline in the U.S. is available by calling or texting 988.
Known for both his film and television work, Robert Carradine worked steadily in the industry for over 40 years, starting in the ’70s. Despite his work with top-tier directors, he never gained the worldwide recognition of his more famous brothers Keith Carradine and the late David Carradine.
Hilary Duff Shares Touching Message About ‘Lizzie McGuire’ Dad
As mentioned, in the 2000s, Robert Carradine picked up a new generation of fans with the character, Sam McGuire. He played a corny but extremely loving dad to Lizzie, played by Hilary Duff, and a younger son. His character was married to Jo McGuire, played by Hallie Todd. On Monday, Hilary opened about how Robert Carradine and Hallie made her feel protected growing up on set. Her Instagram post included two photos with Robert, a solo shot and another of the McGuire family.
“This one hurts. It’s really hard to face this reality about an old friend. There was so much warmth in the McGuire family and I always felt so cared for by my on-screen parents. I’ll be forever grateful for that. I’m deeply sad to learn Bobby was suffering. My heart aches for him , his family, and everyone who loved him. 💔”
Robert Carradine’s Real-Life Daughter Shares Memories
Robert’s survivors include his three children, actor Ever Carradine, Marika Reed Carradine and Ian Alexander Carradine. On Monday, Ever confirmed her dad’s death in a lengthy Instagram caption about his love as a single parent. She was born in 1974 to Robert and Susan Synder.
“Whenever anyone asks me how I turned out so normal, I always tell them it’s because of my dad. I knew my dad loved me, I knew it deep in my bones, and I always knew he had my back,” Ever Carradine wrote on Instagram. “I think it’s partly because we basically grew up together. Twenty years age difference really isn’t that much, and while I never ever thought of him as a sibling, I did always think of him as my partner. We were in it together.”
In 1990, Robert Carradine married Edith Mani, whom he had his middle and youngest child with. After more than 25 years of marriage, they divorced following a 2015 car crash in Colorado. In her divorce documents, she claimed he admitted to her and their two kids that he “deliberately drove into the truck” to kill them both, per TMZ. She alleged he had been depressed after his brother, David, died by hanging in 2009. At the time, she had requested possession of his 17 guns out of fear he might hurt himself. They settled and finalized their split in 2018, per The Blast. He reportedly was allowed to keep his gun collection amid other possessions.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Lisa Rinna is finally addressing one of the longest-running rumors surrounding her marriage, and she’s making her stance crystal clear. In her new book, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It,” the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star opens up about speculation surrounding her husband Harry Hamlin’s sexuality, something she says has followed him for decades. Rinna not only defends her husband but also reflects on how Hollywood, reality TV, and his early career choices contributed to the chatter. Her comments come amid renewed headlines about the couple and Lisa Rinna’s personal life, including a recent incident that reportedly left her concerned for her own well-being.

Lisa Rinna Directly Addresses Rumors About Harry Hamlin
Lisa Rinna didn’t mince words when discussing speculation about her husband of nearly three decades. In her book, she makes it clear she wants to put the rumors to rest once and for all. “Let’s just clear this up one last time, once and for all: Harry’s heterosexual,” the Bravo alum wrote. “He is not a gay man in any way, shape or form, not that there’s anything wrong with that,” she continued.
Rinna explained that she didn’t even become aware of the rumors until she joined “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” in 2014, suggesting the speculation intensified once her personal life became part of reality television storylines. “I just figured b-tches will say anything to get my hackles up, so it never concerned me,” she added. “My reaction was always more, ‘why you mad, boo?’”

Lisa Rinna Says Reality TV Culture Played A Role
According to Lisa Rinna, speculation about spouses was common during her time on the Bravo series. She claimed that “every husband’s sexuality was questioned at some point on that show.”
“When you’re a good-looking man in Hollywood with a good sense of style, that adds up to ‘is he gay?’” Rinna questioned.

Harry Hamlin’s Career Choice Sparked Early Speculation
Lisa Rinna also pointed to a specific moment in Hamlin’s career that she believes fueled rumors for decades: his role in the 1982 film “Making Love.” In the Arthur Hiller-directed movie, Hamlin portrayed Bart McGuire, an openly gay man involved in a relationship with a married heterosexual character, a storyline considered groundbreaking at the time.
“Mainstream films about gay men are still rare today, but back then it was unheard of,” Rinna wrote. “He does what rings true to him. It was something that he felt was absolutely necessary to do. Harry made a brave decision, and it bit him in the a-s.”

She claimed the decision had long-term professional consequences, alleging Hamlin was “blacklisted for several years afterward,” and noting it took him decades before landing a major studio film again with 2023’s “80 for Brady.” “To this day, Harry says he would do ‘Making Love’ all over again because it was so impactful,” Rina wrote. “Harry changed so many people’s lives, and that’s why he wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Marriage Built On Trust And Longevity
Despite years of rumors, Lisa Rinna says their relationship has remained strong and largely unaffected by outside speculation. The couple married in 1997 and later welcomed daughters Delilah Belle and Amelia Gray.
Hamlin was previously married to Laura Johnson and Nicollette Sheridan before meeting Rinna. She emphasized the trust they share, explaining she doesn’t worry about infidelity. “I would be shocked if I ever found out he was having an affair,” Rinna said.
The actress has also spoken openly about their intimacy, previously revealing that while their sex life has evolved over time, it remains fulfilling.
Recent Headlines Surround Lisa Rinna’s Personal Life
According to reports, a source claimed Rinna’s co-star Colton Underwood noticed she appeared unusually intoxicated during the event. The source alleged Underwood became concerned because he knew she typically doesn’t drink heavily, and he reportedly alerted her team. Rinna was then removed from the party shortly afterward, though details surrounding the situation remain unclear.

“Johnathan is suffering from not being able to see his son and the different things that have been reported to him daily is overwhelming. Y’all literally send us videos talking about seizures and some more stuff. He was in denial and now he knows nothing and doesn’t have a relationship with the baby. He’s probably the only father who would allow her to leave the baby and not even look for her. These same people who talking all this s**t didn’t even know her and promoted for her to drink and smoke while pregnant because y’all did. I blame her fans and keep him in prayer. 🙏🏾”

What Do You Think Roomies?
Maia Mitchell has already worked with Hannah Dodd so what are the chances she could join her hit Netflix series Bridgerton?
“Oh my God, why not? I’ll ask Hannah. I’ll text her now,” Mitchell exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting season 2 of Hulu’s The Artful Dodger. “I don’t think my contract would allow me to work with Netflix right now on a show but maybe after we get done with The Artful Dodger.”
Mitchell noted that she currently has her “hands full” playing Lady Belle. She didn’t rule it out though considering the amount of seasons still yet to air.
Based on Julia Quinn’s book series, each season of Bridgerton focuses on a different member of the titular family as they attempt to find love in 19th-century London. The Netflix show is expected to have eight seasons based on the eight novels written by Quinn about each Bridgerton sibling.
As soon as Netflix debuted Bridgerton, fans became invested in the stories still yet to be told. Based on Julia Quinn‘s novels of the same name, the series began with the love story of Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page). Season 2 of Bridgerton told the story of Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) […]
Dodd, for her part, plays Francesca and is expected to lead either season 5 or 6. Mitchell, meanwhile, just returned to Hulu after a lengthy hiatus between seasons.
“It was a long painstaking wait to hear [about a season 2], so we are very happy to be back,” Mitchell noted to Us. “In terms of jumping back into character, the break was good. It’s always nerve-wracking going back. But it’s so easy with our sets and in our costumes, you just really do melt right into the world. But the break was good because I would have needed that circuit break to find a different tone in her, to do some different prep. Especially with the dialect coaches, I was vocally dropping her a little lower and there was a slightly different physicality. Hopefully we get a season 3, and hopefully the break isn’t as long.”
Mitchell was thrilled at the chance to film a project in her native Australia.
“At the end of 2021, I had written a list of things I was manifesting. It was a job that was shot in Australia, a period drama and it was a woman who was playing a feminist and claiming her power. That is literally The Artful Dodger for me. So it is a dream job,” she gushed. “And to be able to work at home is fantastic. It’s less of a flight to visit family and our crew is so amazing. I’ve now shot a couple projects in Australia in the last few years, since I’ve moved home — and also overseas — and I can say for sure that it’s the best and most elevated work that I’ve been able to do.”
She concluded: “It’s because of the crew and everyone behind the camera and the cast. We have such immense talent here and I’m so excited that the world is becoming privy to it because we’ve known it. We’ve always made such fantastic shows but they have this Aussie tone with a gritty drama. Now we’re expanding that and we’ve got these massive period dramas with crazy budgets. It’s really fun to be a part of that kind of new moment in Aussie film and TV. So I couldn’t be more stoked and I would just work in Australia with Aussie crew for the rest of my career if I could. It’s the best.”
Looking ahead, Mitchell expressed hope she would get to return to film more.
“There’s a lot [more story] to tell,” Mitchell shared. “It’s such a massive show with so many characters and so many plots happening all at once.”
The actress noted that there is “a lot of opportunity” for “way more character development” in the future, adding, “With Belle and Jack, it is seeing what domestic life could look like. I don’t know how they pull that off. I don’t see them ever being settled but seeing what that looks like and seeing them actualize their relationship.”
Bridgerton returns with the second part of season 4 on Thursday, February 26. The Artful Dodger is currently streaming on Hulu.
