What is your favorite HBO miniseries?

A miniseries (or mini-series) is a TV show tells a single story in a limited number of episodes with an already planned ending. Miniseries never have plans for additional seasons.

Should have saved all the {sd} I spent on the last poll for Band of Brothers in this one.

Band Of Brothers is my favorite everything. Best mini-series, best movie, best BR.

The Pacific, Earth To The Moon, and Generation Kill were all good stories but I still give BoB the nod for being the best.

To be fair, I have not seen everything on the list. I heard great things about John Adams but to date have not gotten around to picking it up.

John Adams. Band of brothers felt more like a one year series, than a mini-series. Also like the time period of John Adams

From the Earth to the Moon.

Generation Kill... but practically everything on that list that I've seen is quality.

Tourgasm? Really? You couldn't have picked any other series, which would've been better than that load of crap

My pick was Band of Brothers

I've enjoyed many HBO Mini-series, but Band of Brothers is the only one I've watched five times (the last time was last week) so it gets my vote.

Cusm

Band of Brothers followed closely by Generation Kill.

B.A.

Band of Brothers - easily.

I'll go with The Corner since it's listed, but I loved House of Saddam just as much. I really wish they would put that out on blu.

Band of Brothers

BoB

John Adams, Generation Kill and Mildred Pierce were all pretty great though.

Dave99

band of brothers, no question. One of the all time greatest shows of any kind.

I loved FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON. I wish it would get an HD release.

JimRochester

Absolutely

I did like this series. I owned it for a while but then after viewing it a couple times I sold it. Especially for those of us that grew up during those times it holds special meaning. I think I was 9 when literally the entire world was watching men land and walk on the moon for the first time. It seems so prehistoric now, but the whole family plus relatives from out of town were gathered around the 19" black and white TV watching history unfold.

Angels in America

Not gay but liked the performances of Pacino, Streep, and Patrick Wilson.

Band of Brothers, by a mile. Second would be John Adams.

DeputyDave

Band of Brothers. Nothing else comes close for me.

DaveNinja

Generation Kill and the Pacific were great but i had to vote for Band of Brothers

JimRochester

Both well done but too many characters in Generation Kill, especially the officers were characterized as unlikeable and nothing to admire. In The Pacific, I just think the source material was not as compelling. The conditions were horrific but the characters never felt real. Every one in BoB felt like my grandfather

JeffTheAlpaca

Somebody should do a thread about your favorite HBO original movies.

DaveNinja

The books the Pacific was based on were a lot better than the mini series. They had to cut out a ton and combine too many supporting characters into like one guy.

BearFan

Earth to the Moon, followed closely by Band of Brothers and Pacific

I'd rank 'em:

Band of Brothers
From the Earth to the Moon
Angels in America
Generation Kill
John Adams
The Pacific

Band of Brothers is up there with the best mini-series of all time. I own Mildred Pierce on Blu-ray but haven't given it a spin yet. Been meaning to watch The Corner.
