These Are The Best HBO Original Series 

HBO has been the go-to for top-notch original shows since the 1990s. It all began with the gripping prison drama ‘Oz’ in 1997, followed by the immensely successful ‘The Sopranos’ in 1999, marking HBO as the home for hour-long episodes as compelling as blockbuster movies. 

As ‘The Wire’ joined the lineup in 2002, HBO's distinction from theatrical releases blurred. With shows like ‘Oz’, ‘The Sopranos’ and ‘The Wire’ airing consecutively, HBO set a standard for television excellence. Over the last two decades, HBO continued this legacy with exceptional programming. 

Here are the 10 best HBO original drama series that ran for at least three seasons.
