Collider has compiled a list of HBO miniseries it considers underappreciated, arguing that despite the network's strong reputation for prestige television, the sheer volume of acclaimed shows means even excellent limited series can fade from public memory. The piece highlights productions that combined strong writing, performances and production values but didn't sustain lasting cultural buzz.

Featured entries include the 2011 period drama "Mildred Pierce" starring Kate Winslet, which won five Emmys including Outstanding Lead Actress for Winslet and Outstanding Supporting Actor for Guy Pearce; the 2016 crime thriller "The Night Of" with Riz Ahmed and John Turturro, which won five of its 14 Emmy nominations; and the 2021–2022 post-apocalyptic series "Station Eleven". The article lists eight titles in total, though only the first three are detailed in the available text.
