In a content-crazed streaming world, HBO will remain HBO, and to that end, the gold network has released a trailer promoting its entire roster of 2021 original series, including the Oscar Isaac–Jessica chastain drama Scenes from a marriage.
If there’s one word that I associate with HBO, it’s “quality.” Even when your shows aren’t for me game of Thrones, Succession, Westworld – it is clear that they are for everyone else. But lately, I’ve been on a real HBO / HBO Max kick thanks to The investigation, Beartown Y Head, all of which are pretty good. Of course, those are all pretty low-key series hailing from overseas, but when you combine them with top-tier shows like the upcoming fantasy series The NeversThey create a powerful blow that few can match.
I mean, yeah, I probably watch more shows on Netflix, but that streamer is getting more at-bats than HBO, which has a much higher average at the plate, so to speak. Like Netflix, HBO has to be everything to everyone these days, and the network continues to do a great job serving a wide range of audiences.
You can tell executives are excited about Scenes from a marriage as well as the series of crimes Easttown Marewhat stars Kate winslet as a detective. Mare’s official trailer looked pretty promising, and it’s also great to see Isaac and Chastain together again after One more violent yearBut what both shows have in common is movie stars front and center. I can’t wait to dive into both shows, but I’m already feeling a personal caution regarding The Nevers, though I suspect it’s just the stench of Joss Whedon, whose work on television has never been to my liking.
I have a mixed history with Illustrated creator Mike whiteBut I must admit I’m looking forward to his last adventure The white lotus, which takes place at a tropical resort in Hawaii, just the kind of vacation you could use right now. Speaking of crystal clear waters, HBO will also roll out the documentary series. 100 foot wave, which captures the beauty and danger of surfing.
I mentioned before Succession not really my cup of tea, but it looks like Kendall (Jeremy strong) comes after his father (Brian Cox) with everything he has in season 3. Meanwhile, Uzo Aduba takes over as lead therapist on HBO’s revival of In treatment, and we’ll see what happens with Issa (Issa rae) and Lawrence (Jay ellis) when Insecure comes to an end with its fifth and final season.
Meanwhile, the HBO series I really can’t wait to return is Check your enthusiasm, if only because the pandemic and all its peculiarities have surely given Larry David Lots of new stuff to work with, given that the social rules have completely changed in the last 12 months.
The network began broadcasting its controversial Woody Allen–Mia farrow documentary series last Sunday, but it also has a Tina Turner documentary on the horizon that looks great, and there’s a lot more to come, including new seasons of Betty, A sketch show of Black Lady, Hard hits, How with John Wilson, The Espookys, Real sports with Bryant Gumbel Y They were here. And don’t worry funny guys John oliver Y Bill maher we will be back too!
That’s a shame of riches right there, but one show that was sadly absent from the sizzle reel was Bill hader‘s Barry, which is expected to begin filming this spring. I would love to see it debut this fall / winter, but if it has to be early 2022, then so be it. I’m glad it’s happening. Anyway, look at the trailer for HBO’s 2021 listing below and tell me that this subscription isn’t worth every penny.
