HBO Boxed Sets: Prepare to Binge-Watch
HBO makes compelling television series like Willy Wonka produces chocolate bars. These are shows that demand to be watched and re-watched, then deconstructed and analyzed from every angle, if only to figure out how they manage to be so consistently compelling. The best way to enjoy them is to own the complete season and series sets below, in all their glory.
Game of Thrones Seasons 1 & 2
In this masterly, sprawling adaptation of George R.R Martin’s books, you quickly come to know and love the big cast of characters. That love raises the stakes, making the treachery, backstabbing, power-grabbing, and scheming all the more riveting. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and we guarantee you’ll gasp.

The Normal Heart
Boasting an all-star cast, HBO’s adaptation of Larry Kramer’s acclaimed play about the rise of the 1980s HIV/AIDS crisis in New York is a knockout. The struggle is seen through the prism of writer and activist Ned Weeks, who watches as so many in his inner circle succumb to the disease. It’s eye-opening, heartbreaking, and surprisingly uplifting material.

Girls: The Complete Third Season
If the release of Not That Kind of Girl had you momentarily forgetting about Lena Dunham’s day job, pick up Season 3 of her hit show (before the new season premieres in January) and brush up on all the terrible, horrible, no-good, embarrassing shenanigans Marnie, Jessa, Shoshanna, and Hannah get up to in the big city.

Veep: The Complete Second Season
If only we could laugh this hard at real-world politics. Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s Selina Meyer, history’s most dissatisfied vice president, is the disillusioned comedic center of one of TV’s most outlandish comedies. It’s a pitch-perfect political satire with an impeccable supporting cast (our favorite: Arrested Development‘s Tony Hale as Selina’s sycophantic personal aide Gary) that matches Louis-Dreyfus’s career-best work.
