Westworld<\/h2>\n

A perfect mix of sci-fi and western drama, Westworld is a top show on HBO that includes excellent writing, an amazing storyline and an A-list cast.<\/p>\n

\"hbo

Watchmen<\/h2>\n

This superhero drama has more to it than your typical superhero action movies. It confronts a range of hot topics like biases and racial stereotypes.<\/p>\n

The Night Of<\/h2>\n

A murder mystery miniseries following a legal case from the night of a brutal murder where the lead suspect has no recollection of the night, The Night Of is a must-see.<\/p>\n

Veep<\/h2>\n

If House of Cards is too dark for you, try Veep. It still is set in Washington D.C and follows the Vice President but is a much lighter comedy.<\/p>\n
