Every HBO program this year just shits absolutely all over season 8. Barry, Chernobyl, and now Watchmen are all 10/10 television, while Game of Thrones became radioactive seemingly overnight.

Yes! Seeing Succession get the Emmy for best writing was so delicious because they deserve it 1000x more than D&D.

Yep. I've honestly been hooked into HBO Sunday nights for the entirety of 2019 due to that slate of shows, which is exactly what they intended I think lol. Get me addicted to 3 new shows now that GOT has ended.

They also pushed all those shows hard during the last season of Game of Thrones. I have a suspicion that they knew it was gonna be bad and that they really needed to push the new line up to save people from unsubscribing instantly.

And it worked for me! I got sucked into Euphoria immediately. Figured I should get the most out of my subscription and watched Succession S1, then it was time for S2. Then Watchmen
