Is there any way of making suggestions for old HBO box sets to be shown? Sopranos/The Wire/GoT come and go every few months, but there are other HBO gems like Six Feet Under that never appear. I note Curb Your Enthusiam is now available which is superb, but there are plenty of other great series from HBO that don't appear. As there is no HBO Now in the UK, can Sky/Now TV make some of these available?

Hi @Anonymous User
I think we're as keen on HBO shows here as you are!
Although Six Feet Under hasn't made an appearance, we do have Veep, GoT, Silicon Valley, True Detective, The Sopranos, Banshee, The Leftovers, Sex and the City, Boardwalk Empire aaaaand Ballers. (Among others!)
Is there anything in particular you'd like to see? We'll have a check on SFU, but unfortunately it's not been on the service for years, which suggests the licencing may be tricky in this instance.
Thanks,
Jason

@Jason-C Six Feet Under is the one that is foremost. Not sure what the HBO/Sky relationship is, but rare to see HBO programming anywhere else in the UK (except paying for it on Amazon/Google et al) so for me Sky is the closet UK equivalent of HBO NOW. Don't think Amazon Prime nor Netflix have any HBO content.

@Jason-C It may be from Showtime but I would love to see Shameless USA. 🙂

No solid news on Six Feet Under yet, but watch this space! The content teams might be able to do something on this...
Definitely no sign of Shameless USA, I'm afraid to say. However, we've also got a good relationship with Showtime, so it may well appear in the future. 🙂
