Meme Historian Declares ‘The Sopranos’ and ‘Succession’ Are Now Officially ‘Best Shows on HBO Max’ Because Millennials Finally Admitted They’re Better Than Their TikToks
In a shocking twist that has sent shockwaves through the C-suite of ironic detachment, meme historians have officially confirmed that the reason ‘best shows on HBO Max’ is trending isn’t because anyone found a new hidden gem, but because a generation raised on 15-second clips has collectively realized that watching Tony Soprano have an existential crisis in a diner for 45 minutes is actually more rewarding than a video of a cat playing piano. The irony is so thick you could spread it on a bagel—after years of mocking Boomers for their “slow TV,” Gen Z is now begging for recommendations that aren’t about a rat chef or a hot priest, but about the crushing weight of modern capitalism. The trend peaked when a viral tweet read: “I finally watched ‘The Wire’ and now I have to apologize to every adult who told me to stop scrolling.” This has led to a surge of new subscribers desperately searching for “best shows on HBO Max” to avoid admitting that the real best show was the friends they made along the way—who are now just sending them memes about how good ‘Deadwood’ is.
