Edit 丨 Poisonous Tongue is the most TOP
HBO, known as the "old driver of the American drama industry". This name is HBO has always maintained the quality of "shot is good". On the other hand, as a paid rating channel, HBO's scale has always been as wide as the universe, and the speed of speed is unparalleled. Today to take stock for everyone, HBO history of the most cattle drama TOP10, you may not have seen, but certainly heard, all the essence, recommended collection! (In no particular order)
10. "Company of Brothers"
Douban score: 9.6 丨IMDB score: 9.4
Genre: Action 丨History 丨 War
Launched in 2001, Company of Brothers consists of 10 episodes, co-ordinated by eight top directors, including Spielberg and Tom Hanks, and cost $120 million, based on in-depth interviews with Stephen Ambrose, veterans' family letters, and researched memoirs, and is widely regarded as the best work depicting World War II television series.
"Company of Brothers" on the IMDb website, 9.4 points, 440,000 netizens around the world participated in the rating.
It is very different from the style of other American dramas because it is a documentary TV series. "Brother Company" refers to the E Company of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army in World War II, the main characters in the play have realistic archetypes, and all the plots are derived from the memories of veterans.
The greatest value of the 2nd Battalion E Company of the 506th Regiment is that the E Company participated in the war for a relatively short time, mainly in the mature period of the US Airborne Troops in World War II, and most of the experience of playing soy sauce, so most of the people survived and could write a complete company novel. To tell the history, the retreat of E Company in the town of Nunan during Operation Market Garden (unlike in the TV series) was the first official retreat in the history of the 101st Division.
The narrative of "Brotherly Company" is generally in chronological order, from the perspective of grass-roots soldiers, and divided into campaigns. This should be the best way to tell a war drama narrative. The advantage of such a narrative is that the time is clear, the structure is clear, the logic is rigorous, there is a very strong sense of substitution and appeal, for the vast majority of people, the soldier's eyes, is the original appearance of the war, but the challenge of using this method is that there are many characters and miscellaneous, the story line is more entangled, the scene is complex and chaotic, and the shooting is difficult.
9. "Chernobyl"
Genre: Drama 丨 Disaster
The reason why "Chernobyl" has been rated as a divine drama is not only because of how skilled the director and screenwriter are, nor only because of how unique the subject matter is, but more because almost every audience who watches it has a natural compassion as a human being and a desire for the truth.
The 5-episode miniseries "Chernobyl" produced by the HBO television network in the United States has long come to an end, but the memory of the black nuclear leak 36 years ago has been reopened.
This is the worst nuclear accident in human history:
Detailed data
In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, producing radiation equivalent to 400 American atomic bombs dropped on Japan. 93,000 people died, 270,000 suffered from cancer, and 2 billion people worldwide were affected by the Chernobyl accident, and there are still births of deformed fetuses due to radiation.
Real horrors are often more daunting, and the show has not shied away from the start, showing the consequences of heavy nuclear radiation in the most intuitive shots. Dying elk, struggling birds, engineers exposed to intense radiation, festering firefighters, and a dead city.
The broadcast of "Chernobyl" is the exploration and reflection of mankind on the painful past in the course of history after the disaster. It helps us to remember the love and suffering that this grand historical event has missed, but it does not mean that we can choke on food, and "radiation" is terrible, but even more terrible than that is the heart of fear due to ignorance.
8. "The Sopranos"
Douban score: 8.9 丨IMDB score: 9.2
Type: Thriller 丨 Crime
If Game of Thrones' ambition is to become the Lord of the Rings in the TV series, then "The Sopranos" is the "Godfather" in the TV series. The drama depicts a fictional television series of the Italian Mafia in northern New Jersey. The first season premiered on January 10, 1999 at HBO in North America, and has been very successful since its inception, even becoming a cultural phenomenon.
Douban score
"The Sopranos" has a large audience, and its pioneering realistic lens presents the gray areas of mafia life, The American family, the Italian American community, the world dominated by violence and morality, and has won many applause from audiences and film critics. Like many other HBO-produced albums such as Six Foot Storm, Sex and the City, and The Sopranos, the adult audience is dominated by the audience, as the footage contains a lot of bloody violence, positive nudity, drugs, and profanity.
The main line of the plot revolves around the various contradictions and conflicts between Tony Shapulano 's (Gandolfini) family and the criminal organization he leads.
The drama is known for its gloomy atmosphere, tense plot, and fascinating. Two-time Emmy Award for Best Drama Series, lead actor James Gandolfini also won Three Awards for Best Actor in a Drama Series. In 2013, the Writers Guild of America named it "101 Best Tv Series," which topped the list.
Male protagonist James Gandofini
"The Sopranos" had a huge impact on the American television industry. Critics saw it as the most influential work of art of the 2000s, laying the groundwork for mainstream recognition for other dramas with the same serious subject matter. Television series can qualify as the arts as film, literature and drama, and the play is regarded as an indispensable member of this.
7. "Atlantic Empire"
Douban score: 9.1 丨IMDB score: 8.5
Type: History 丨 Crime
The American drama produced by HBO, based on the best-selling novel of the same name by writer Nelson Johnson, tells that after the prohibition of alcohol in the United States in 1920, brewing, selling and smuggling alcohol goods became illegal, which also provided opportunities for all parties to accumulate wealth. Underworld forces on all sides began to compete for control of the black market in liquor, as well as further control of the city.
Known as an epic gangster drama, the show is very retro, well-made, and of excellent quality, recreating the customs and customs of the United States in the 1920s.
The scene costumes and dialogue soundtrack of "Atlantic Empire" are very careful, using the process of making movies to produce American dramas, exquisitely restoring the United States of the 1920s.
In order to restore the scene, the crew even really built a 1920s Atlantic City, which can be described as well-intentioned.
Although "Atlantic Empire" is called "Atlantic", this geographical restriction does not cover the ambitions of the show. It seeks to portray how the national criminal networks of this era were formed and functioned. Therefore, the wide pattern of the times, the large capacity of the story, and the number of narrative clues are destined to be a "brain-burning" work.
6. "Roma"
Douban score: 9.0 丨IMDB score: 8.7
Type: Action 丨 Love 丨 War
"Roma" has two seasons, the first season is twelve, and the second season is ten. HBO condenses the turbulent history of the late Roman Republic in a short twenty-two episodes of the TV series, and connects the major events of this period through Urenas and Polo, although there is a joke component, it is still a witness and reproduction of this history.
The relationship between the characters in the play is intricate, the storyline is ups and downs, in which love and hate, good and evil, sin and virtue are all really moving, admittedly there is less of a heavy sense of war epic, but there is no lack of delicacy and warmth between hands and feet; the entry point is often a small scene, but mixed with family, friendship, love, and closely link personal fate with historical ups and downs. This history seems to be close at hand, no longer out of reach.
On a meticulous level, the props and costumes used in "Roma" are also more elaborate, and they are basically impeccable. The cast is also very strong, to name a few:
1. Kevin McKiede
Kevin McKidder, who starred as centurion in "Roma," has a gritty personality, regards honor as life, and can fight hard battles. He has starred in wonderful movies such as "Guess the Train" and is a very well-known actor.
Kevin McKied
2. Ray Stevenson
In the 2004 film King Arthur, Ray Stevenson played a round-table warrior who sacrificed his life for others, which impressed the audience. Just by looking at this still, many American drama fans or people who often watch foreign films should have the impression that in 2011, Ray Stevenson starred in the Marvel movie "Thor" directed by Kenneth Branagh, playing Vostag.

3. Seren Sid
As the actor of Caesar, Seren Side does not need too much introduction, in many classic American dramas, we can see the figure of Ceren Sid, and he can be seen in "Polar Evil" and "Game of Thrones" that we have seen before. In the 2021 film Zach Schneider's Justice League, Seren Sid starred as Steppenwolf.

5. Westworld
Douban score: 8.9 丨IMDB score: 8.6
Genre: Sci-fi 丨West
This work has attracted much attention as soon as it was first broadcast, and has been called "another god work after "Game of Thrones", and the Douban score was once as high as 9.4. Popular all over social platforms, even if you haven't seen it, you must have heard of it.
IMDB rating 460,000 reviews
The story is set in a future Western-style theme park, where there are not only original natural features, man-made facilities and exquisite costume props, but also a large number of robot "receptionists" whose sense of reality is almost the same as that of humans.
Tourists who come here at high prices can walk into different story lines under the guidance and companionship of "receptionists" and experience different lives. It is a place where different human desires can be satisfied, and tourists can also do whatever they want with the "receptionist", even if it is burned and plundered.
Cyborg: Tyrell Corp. Nexus7 model
In Westworld, every robot has a "cornerstone" around which all the story backgrounds and character reactions come. Once they intend to bypass this "cornerstone", they are ready to "awaken", which will largely affect the state of the robot. That's why there are so many robots in the first season who are crazy.
In fact, why shouldn't human beings? It's just that our cornerstone is not written by others, but is formed in the interactions we have with different people since childhood, and the most important people in these relationships are our parents
In fact, the real attraction of "Westworld" is not a profound philosophy, and the drama that most people can enjoy can become a "divine drama", otherwise it must be "high and low". After we figured out the structure and connotation of the story, we revisited Westworld and felt the beauty of its details even more. The screenwriter of the play, Mr. Sismore, who was very proud to explain his new story line, was rejected by Ford, and a passage from Ford is probably the key to our appreciation of Westworld, and we only need to replace the "tourist" in his mouth with "audience".
4. "Silicon Valley"
Genre: Comedy
Silicon Valley is a fantastic name, here is the world's programmers yearn for the holy land, not only gathered more than 60% of the United States venture capital, tens of thousands of technology companies, the birth of Apple, Google and other hundreds of billions of dollars in global technology giants, but also emerged Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg and other technology legends.
The actors in the play are superb
HBO's self-produced drama "Silicon Valley" tells the entrepreneurial story of several extremely intelligent programmers around a set of unique compression algorithms they have developed themselves. The drama is a popular science IT entrepreneurship, a comedy about friendship, trust, and adherence to principles and hearts between people.
Filmed for six seasons, it truly recreates the life and entrepreneurial model of Silicon Valley code farmers and technology geniuses, and reflects the specific culture and style of Silicon Valley entrepreneurship through a miniature world.
This drama is really suitable for entrepreneurs to see, there are many pits to see, you can learn a lot of things. At the same time, it also allows entrepreneurs to feel more tangible and be prepared for a one-night heaven and get up in hell.
3. "My Genius Girlfriend"
Douban score: 9.3 丨IMDB score: 8.3
Genre: Drama
The protagonists, Elena and Lila, the story of their joys and sorrows, love and hate, were written by the writer Elena Ferrante into an epic "Neapolitan Quadrilogy". Four novels have been translated into more than 40 languages and sold over a million copies worldwide, making Elena Ferrante one of Time magazine's 2016 "World's 100 Most Influential People."
"Neapolitan Tetralogy": "My Genius Girlfriend", "The Story of a New Name", "Left, Left Behind", "Missing Child"
Therefore, HBO's purchase of the film and television rights to the novel is a matter that has excited countless readers. Sure enough, the first "My Genius Girlfriend" adaptation of the four-part series was just launched, and it was immediately selected by Time Magazine as the top ten episodes of 2018, with a Douban score soaring from 9.0 to 9.3, a Rotten Tomatoes certified freshness of 97%, and a good reputation.
The scene setting is realistic
The story takes place in Naples after World War II, and it should be exactly the Luzati district , a suburb and slum of Naples. In order to maximize the presentation of an authentic Naples, the filming team finally found a shooting location of more than two hectares in the city of Caserta, a 45-minute drive from the city.
More than a hundred days later, the art director and many staff members transformed it into a residential community in the post-war era: the 4-storey residential area, churches, and tunnels were restored one by one.
Language restore
In addition to the real restoration of the scene, the show also makes a lot of efforts to restore in terms of language. As HBO's first original non-English drama, "My Genius Girl" is in Italian, and even 70% of the dialogue is in the Neapolitan dialect of the 50s, and even Italians need subtitles to understand.
Elena and Lila
Under the popularity of "Game of Thrones" and "Westworld", two ace American dramas, "My Genius Girlfriend" is expected to help HBO continue to dominate the small screen battlefield and become HBO's third signature drama.
2. Game of Thrones
Season 1 poster
Douban score: 9.4 丨IMDB score: 9.2
Genre: Fantasy 丨 Adventure
Game of Thrones is a magnificent magic masterpiece that revolves around 3 storylines, 4 races, 7 kingdoms, 9 families, 12 battles, and 32 core characters and 330 characters.
The mother of the dragon holds a huge avocado, the dragon egg
It is such a divine drama, under the condition of sufficient budget, unchanged starring roles, and all the staff are online, it has been extended for one year, and finally it can rot to this extent, which is also a long time to see.
Let's just say that this is definitely the screenwriter's pot, and Sheng Sheng has made a "Game of Thrones" into a child's play of power. Anyone who has followed an American drama for more than five years understands that there is actually a bad expectation for the ending. Generally speaking, as long as it is not chaotic and decent, fans have already scored high scores with tears.
But I am afraid of this kind of illogical, blunt reversal, in order to frighten you, so I deliberately changed it this way, and there is no bottom line to brush the sense of existence of the screenwriter. Why did Bran finally become king?
Brand
Perhaps the screenwriters have seen Harari's A Brief History of the Human World, in which Harari's main point is that fictional stories are the basis for human cooperation and cooperation. How much the two points of view are so consistent, in the play Bran says, "I don't want to be the lord of the East City..." Indeed, because you are the one who wants to be the king.
How powerful is the final episode of Game of Thrones?
Taking the United States as an example, a Harris poll shows that tens of millions of Americans are affected by watching and going to work the next day, and corporate losses may reach more than $3 billion.
In order to cope with fans who can't think of opening after watching the ending, there is even a "game of thrones" psychological counseling service.
Horse King
The website that offers the service explains: "Our experts help fans digest their anger, confusion or sadness after watching the show. This service can be carried out over the Internet for £40 per hour (about RMB 350 per hour). ”
"Game of Thrones" has a total of 8 seasons, whether it is a bad ending or not, it can not change the huge influence it has caused, although this popular American drama that has accompanied us for nearly a decade has come to an end, I believe that it will be the talk of fans for a long time.
1. "The Wire of Fire"
Douban score: 9.4 丨IMDB score: 9.3
"The Line of Fire" tells the story of Baltimore, one of the highest violent crime rates in the United States, and the social tragedy caused by violence and corruption caused by drug-related crime. The drama takes the police surveillance investigation into drug dealers as a clue, exposing the failure of the law enforcement system such as the police system to exposing the failure of the manufacturing, government, education, and media systems like peeling the onion.
The play not only spawned a series of books by writers analyzing the problems of modern society in the United States and even the West from various perspectives, but also was included in the curriculum of many institutions of higher learning, including Harvard.
The best thing about "The Wire" is that it is the only TV series in history that has the current president of the United States invite producers to the White House to discuss social issues.
In March 2015, then-President Barack Obama brought the show's producers to the White House for a 12-minute conversation about the social issues the show was committed to exploring.
"The Wire of Fire" is actually an old drama, the first season began airing on HBO in 2002, 20 years ago. But recently because of the new crown virus, "The Line of Fire" has made a small fire in the United States. According to Variety Magazine, the most authoritative variety news media in the United States, during the quarantine of the new crown virus, the number of Americans going to HBO online to watch "Line of Fire" has soared threefold. Many Americans who did not have time to watch "Line of Fire" before finally had time to make up for this drama, and many people who were originally fans of "Line of Fire" took this opportunity to revisit it.
