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

Although HBO has made attemptsto separate itself from that thing we call television ("it's not TV, it's HBO"), the premium cable network has brought us some of the greatest TVof all time throughout its historyof original programming, which started in the early'80s ' from "The Sopranos" to "Game of Thrones."Since HBO's list of original programming is so good, we decided to rank its shows according to their ratings on Metacritic, which aggregates critics' reviews and assigns each season of a show a score. (For shows with multiple seasons, we averaged their scores.)The list is competitive. Butlike any other television network, HBO has released some stinkers in its lifetime.(Note: We left off animated, children's, documentary/reality, and foreign programming as well as miniseries, with a few notable exceptions.)Here's how HBO's shows rank from worst to best, according to critics on Metacritic:SEE ALSO:50 movies that critics really hate but normal people love71.
