HBO And Its Hit Series For 2011 and Premium Television Channels

HBO, also known as “Home Box Office” is premium television channel from America. It primarily focuses on movies released to theaters or original series and is the second most subscribed to premium channel in America. While the bulk of HBO consists of movies, their original series are often met with much acclaim and rewards.

If you are looking for something a bit modern, then HBO and its hit series for 2011 might be something you will want to look into. While HBO does not release that many original series, the ones it does release are often widely popular. A good example of a hit series from 2011 would be Game of Thrones.

Game of Thrones is a series based on the book series titled “A Song of Ice and Fire” and follows the events of the first book which was titled “Game of Thrones”. The series was critically acclaimed to such a degree that HBO renewed it for a second season just a few days after it’s premier. The show has been nominated for many rewards and has even won a lot of those.

The setting of Game of Thrones takes place is a fantasy medieval time period with various nobles from different countries vying for control as other threats lurk on the horizon. It is filled with intrigue and suspense with a dark tone, sometimes summed up as the Sapranos in Middle Earth.

Game of Thrones may not be for everyone though, so if you are looking for other HBO and its hit series for 2011 then there are still options available.

Some other notable series that have been well received are Luck and Enlightened, both released in 2011. The former only has two episodes out whereas the latter has ten. These two series are not as serious and dark as Game of Thrones, and are more suited for those looking for something a little lighter, especially Enlightened which is classed as a Comedic Drama.

A brief synopsis of Luck is that it follows a well to do criminal during the 60s. The Pilot starts off with him being released from federal prison and getting involved with horse racing. It might not be for everyone but those looking for a good drama could give it a shot as it has been well received by critics and viewers alike.

Enlightened, on the other hand, is about a business woman who lives a self destructive life style culminating in her personal life collapsing and her being sent to rehab. The show follows her on her road to recovery as she tries to piece her life back together. It is still a drama but it has it’s lighter moments if that is what you are looking for.

HBO and its hit series for 2011 made quite the splash in the television world with many of those series going on to win awards and all of them being well received by critics. If you are looking for an HBO series from 2011, the three above are good places to start.

Showtime Series Hit For 2011 and Dexter One Of The Hits

-Showtime is one of the premium television channels from America, although it is available in a number of other countries as well. Like many of the other premium channels, it focuses mostly on playing movies released to theaters, though it does host it’s own original series as well.

If you are looking for Showtime series hit for 2011 then the first one you should look into is Dexter. While not originally aired in 2011 it nonetheless maintains a strong presence within the 2011 line up. The show’s pilot was aired in 2006 giving it a total of six seasons, perfect for those looking for something that can hold them over for a long time.

The premise of the show is about a sociopath named Dexter who has an urge to kill. His adoptive father, a police officer, recognized this and taught Dexter a code to follow to help channel his urges. This code demands he only kill other killers and to prove with undeniable proof that his target is guilty.

Dexter is forced to fake normal human behavior to get by in life but as time goes on he starts to develop genuine affection for those around him. This complicates his double life and even makes him wonder if he needs to keep killing.

Dexter is one of Showtime series hit for 2011, and one of it’s most well known series. If you are looking for a good drama with plenty of suspense, thills, and even a bit of dark humor then Dexter is probably the show for you.

If this type of series does not appeal to you, then there are other series from 2011 you can look into. A good light hearted show is Web Therapy. Web Therapy focuses on a therapist who devises a new method to work with her patients through the use of webcams. She spends the series working with her patients in this manner and tries to show the therapist community that her method is actually viable.

As I stated above, it is a fairly light show with plenty of funny moments for those looking for a show they can just sit back and laugh about.

Another hit from 2011 is the original series Homeland. The main protagonist is a CIA agent who gets wind that an America marine that was captured by terrorists in Iraq has been turned to their side. However when this marine is recovered during a raid on a terrorist compound he is regarded as a war hero, thus nobody is willing to investigate him.

The protagonist takes it upon herself and a close friend to investigate the marine in order to prevent another terrorist attack on American soil.

These Showtime series hit for 2011 have been well received by critics and will give you plenty to watch as you wait for the 2012 season to get rolling. If you enjoy these series then you should also check series from other years, such as Dexter, as Showtime releases plenty of quality shows every year that you might enjoy.
