Although it is in the process of transformation (in fact in the United States in a few weeks) on the joint platform Max, HBO Max continues year after year offering us excuses not to unsubscribe in the form of excellent series. And this 2023 has already given us several examples, so we are going to review what have been, up to now, the 6 best series of the year released on the platform… until now.
The definitive ranking of the series of the year on HBO Max
As usual, in this list we have selected the best series that HBO Max has premiered in Spain during this 2023, whether they are absolute premieres or new seasons.
If this list seems shortHere you can see our ranking with the most outstanding movies and series on HBO Max in 2022. Also, if we go a little further back in time, these are the best series and miniseries in HBO history. And the best in history in general.
Going back to 2023, this is our selection with the best series of the year, as well as the highlights of Netflix and the top anime. Without more to add, for now, we begin.
‘Barry’ – Season 4

created by Bill Hader and Alec Berg | Distribution: Bill Hader, Stephen Root, Sarah Goldberg, etc.
The comedy? black has reached its final season giving us a whole class of mastery in the direction. And this is just one of the aspects for which the latest adventures of our contract killer turned actor shine. A whole lesson in tension, terror and fun.

‘The Last of Us’
created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann | Distribution: Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay
It promised a lot and basically it has given us much more than we expected. An excellent post-apocalyptic drama that is not afraid of taking us to the most emotional side instead of giving us action. A risky bet but well worth it.

‘Perry Mason’ – Season 2

created by Rolin Jones and Ron Fitzgerald | Distribution: Matthew Rhys, Juliet Rylance, Chris Chalk, etc.
The first season was already good. but the second one was much better. And basically it makes me angry that the seasons are only eight episodes long because I would be delighted by this noir version of the lawyer’s origins for many more weeks.

‘Poor devil’

created by Miguel Esteban, Ernesto Sevilla and Joaquín Reyes
A great exercise in adult animation of this kind that is lavished too little in our country. The adventures of young Stan they navigate between a “chanante” humor but it also offers one of the most “dodgy” episodes (in a good way) so far this year.

‘Succession’ – Season 4

created by Jesse Armstrong | Distribution: Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook
Another brilliant season finale that we religiously attend is the stupendous satire of the rich with the final story of the Roys. A season that has gone from bomb to bomb but without falling into sensationalism thanks to a writing of absolutely 10,

‘Traitors Spain’

presented by Sergio Peris-Mencheta
We may have had our pluses and minuses with the final result and certain production decisions that the Spanish version has made with respect to the original format. but the trip has been more than interesting. A reality show of this style was sorely missed and this one fills in our country a rather pending subject.
