HBO is defintely making a great comeback with Treme and Boardwalk Empire. However, I'm not sure this show is a part of that trend.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anonymous. Also, True Blood and The Pacific are helping HBO into a creative renaissance. Heck, True Blood has won several awards including Anna Paquin.
