I also don't think "average HBO series" and "excellent writing" are in the same significance though, don't you agree? [Unless you're saying that HBO productions are so consistently good that their average series is excellent?] That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying they're bad. I just have mixed feelings if they should be considered "excellent".
Oh, no, lots of them aren’t great. A few are (The Wire…) and some more are at least pretty good.
[edit] also I think there are a lot of different definitions of “good” in this thread. The average HBO show probably does have better writing than 99% of narrative-presenting video games.
