  2. Kianm: some of these shows were genuinely masterclass level work, but it's no surprise they got lost in the shuffle
  3. Sanab: I think I saw Vice Principals back when it first came out, it was pretty funny and over-the-top. What happened to it?
  4. Lucas: i've seen vice principals a few times, but sympathizer is the one that really stuck with me - there was something about how it seamlessly wove together different narrative threads. do
  5. Selim: it's weird that vice principals gets more love than show me a hero, one of the most underrated things hbo ever did
  6. Noraellis: I've gotta ask, what makes a show 'forgotten' if it's still on HBO? Does a certain number of viewers trigger some sort of nostalgia alert?
  7. Lena: most of their great work gets buried under The Sopranos and Game of Thrones' shadows, but not Vice Principals, a show that actually deserved more attention
  8. Vanta Lynx: what about The Young Pope, that one was wild
  9. Lunar Halo: haven't thought about The Leftovers since its finale messed with my head
  10. Arlo: I was actually really invested in The Leftovers when it first came out, but I guess I lost interest after the crazy plot twists started to get too wild for me. Have they

  15. Arlo: what's forgotten and what's actually good often go hand in hand
  16. Void Beacon: vibes like they're still trying to win some sort of bet on 'least popular HBO show
  17. Norakaur: not surprised, they all do at some point, but what's the criteria here?
  18. Obsidian Pulse: can't believe I forgot about The Leftovers, but that's exactly what this show does to you - makes you question everything
  19. Ember Comet: just read through the list again and still can't believe they left off Luck, that show was a masterclass in writing
  20. Cleo: finally, a list that acknowledges HBO actually had some decent dramas too
  21. Echo Pulse: somebody make a retrospective on Vice Principals ASAP still need to figure out why that show bombed

  29. Amir: sympathizer was wild, but vice principals is where it's at for me still love Danny McBride's dark humor
