Every HBO show ranked from worst to best, according to critics

HBO has brought us some of the greatest TV shows of all time - like "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "The Wire," and "Game of Thrones" - throughout its history of original programming, which started in the early '80s.

But which HBO shows are the best?

We ranked its shows according to their ratings on Metacritic, which aggregates critic reviews and assigns each season of a show a score.

For shows with multiple seasons, we averaged their scores. And to break ties, we brought in the audience score.

The list is competitive. But like any other television network, HBO has released some stinkers in its lifetime.

Does your favorite HBO show top the list?

Here's how HBO's shows rank, from worst to best, according to critics on Metacritic.

(Note: We left off animated, children's, documentary/reality, and foreign programming, as well as miniseries, with a few notable exceptions.)
