Other HBO Series to Watch If You Love ‘The White Lotus’
Looking for other great HBO series to watch with your Max subscription? Here are a few suggestions for your next binge.
‘Deadwood’ (2004-2006)
A genre which the television space has rarely touched in recent years is that of the Western, which perhaps is what makesHBO’sDeadwoodall the more special than it already was. The series follows a group of residents in the South Dakota-based town of Deadwood, a town of deep crime and corruption. StarringJustified’sTimothy Olyphant,Deadwoodis one of HBO’s finest dramas to date, with its complex character work, incredible writing, byDavid Milch, and its realistic portrayal of the Wild West being just a few of the reasons as to why.
‘Watchmen’ (2019)
WhileZack Snyder’s 2009Watchmenfilmis an excellent adaptation ofFrank Miller’s iconic source material, HBO’s 2019 miniseries expands on the themes of the film to deliver a bold, ambitious epic which is undeniably worth your time. For those unfamiliar,Watchmenis set in a dark and seedy world where vigilante types are treated as outlaws. However, this series does differ from both the original graphic novel and Snyder’s film in some rather compelling and exciting ways we dare not spoil here. Featuring incredible performances fromOscar-winner Regina KingandYahya Abdul-Mateen II(not to mention a pitch-perfectJeremy Irons), this DC miniseries is not one to pass by.
‘The Last of Us’ (2023-)
HBO’s adaptation of Naughty Dog’s iconic, award-winning masterpiece is a must-watch for both fans and newcomers toThe Last of Us' apocalyptic world.Pedro Pascal stars as Joel Miller, an ordinary man who is still reeling from the loss of his only daughter on the day of a viral outbreak which razed the entirety of the world 20 years prior when the show/game is set. Joel is soon tasked with escorting an important young girl named Ellie (Bella Ramsey) across the country in order to potentially extract a cure which could save what’s left of humankind, but along the way, Joel begins to bond with Ellie far more than he’d ever anticipated, opening up a part of himself he thought long dead.The Last of Us, much like its source material, is a beautiful rumination on human connection and what it means to love another person. Pascal and Ramsey are tremendous as Joel and Ellie, doing justice toTroy BakerandAshley Williamswhile making the characters their own.Bring on season 2!
