''HBO''', an abbreviation of '''H'''ome '''B'''ox '''O'''ffice, is a non-standard cable television network. As a dedicated provider, not intermixed with [[broadcast]] television, HBO faces comparably low restrictions on content, [[obscenity]], [[profanity]], and other decency regulations, and uses its freedom to create television shows with a more ''[[film noire]]'' feel to them.
Examples of programming include:
*''Rome'' - a show chronicling the rise of [[Augustus Caesar]], from the death of [[Julius Caesar]], to the death of [[Marc Anthony]]. The show ran two seasons to critical acclaim. Profanity, nudity, and sexuality are common.
*''Big Love'' - a [[drama]] following the lives of a [[polygamy|polygamist]] [[Mormon]] family in [[Utah]], struggling to differentiate themselves from a family history that connects them with an abusive polygamist compound. The show, while ''prima facie'' glorifying polygamy, instead seeks to prove that it is impossible to practice in a principled manner. Profanity and sexuality are common.
