HBO series: How to watch, top picks and streaming tips

HBO series like Succession, The Last of Us and Euphoria keep showing up in headlines for good reason: strong writing, bold characters and big production values. If you want to watch them without wasting time or cash, this page tells you where to find HBO shows in Africa, which ones are worth starting with, and easy streaming tips that actually work.

Where to watch in Africa

Availability changes by country, so first check local platforms. In South Africa, services that partner with Warner Bros. often carry HBO content either on demand or as part of a channel package. Across other African countries, look for regional streaming services and cable providers that list HBO or Warner Bros. Discovery content. If you don’t see a series, confirm whether it’s listed under the service’s drama or premium drama section—HBO shows sometimes sit in branded collections.

If you travel or live where HBO Max (Max) isn’t offered natively, two safe options are: use a local partner service that has licensed the show, or wait for official regional launches. Avoid shady free sites; they risk malware and low-quality video. If you consider a VPN, know that it may violate the streaming service’s terms and can cause playback or account issues.

Best HBO series to start with

Want a quick list? Start here: Succession for sharp family-and-power drama, The Last of Us for intense story and atmosphere, Euphoria for gritty teen realism and visuals, House of the Dragon if you liked Game of Thrones, and Chernobyl for a tight, real-world miniseries. Pick one based on mood: Succession if you like slow-burning tension, The Last of Us if you want action with heart, or Chernobyl for a single, powerful story.

Not sure which fits you? Watch the first episode of two different shows back-to-back. If you’re hooked in those two episodes, you’ve found your next binge.

Practical tip: check episode runtime before committing. Some HBO dramas run 50–70 minutes per episode—great for depth, but plan your viewing blocks accordingly.

Want subtitles or dubs? Most official platforms offer multiple audio and subtitle tracks. If English isn’t your first language, enable subtitles on the first episode to confirm timing and accuracy before you binge.

Save data and money: download episodes over Wi‑Fi when the app allows offline viewing, or set video quality to a lower bitrate for mobile viewing. Many services also offer bundle deals with local telecom providers—ask your ISP if they have a streaming add-on that includes premium content.

Follow release news: pick a reliable entertainment newsletter or the official HBO/Max socials to get release dates and episode drops. That keeps you from missing new seasons and special episodes.

One last tip: discuss shows with friends or local online groups. HBO series often have dense plots and hidden details—chatting helps you notice things you would otherwise miss and makes the whole experience more fun.
