HBO, known for its cutting-edge TV series, continues to push the boundaries of storytelling with its current eclectic roster - from gritty dramas to insightful documentaries to zany comedies - each boasting high production values, strong writing, and engaging performances. The best HBO shows now running have engrossing narratives filled with unforgettable moments. They also provoke discussions around significant cultural issues and offer unique takes on universal human experiences. 

For example, in The Last Of Us, viewers get immersed in a post-apocalyptic world filled with danger and heartache. Providing biting satire on contemporary politics and media culture, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver combines humor with informative dives into topical subjects. Meanwhile, the drama Euphoria delves into the complexities of modern adolescence - tackling themes such as addiction, mental health, identity struggles in ways that leave audiences emotionally invested. 

Reflecting on HBO's lineup - from new productions gaining traction to established fan favorites - it's clear this network creates some of TV's most evocative series. The range and depth offered by current shows set a formidable standard for other networks to aspire toward.
