HBO (Home Box Office) is an American premium cable and satellite television network that is owned by Home Box Office Inc., an operating subsidiary of Time Warner. HBO's programming consists primarily of theatrically released motion pictures and original television series, along with made-for-cable movies and documentaries, boxing matches and occasional comedy and concert specials.

These shows are shown on channels in the United Kingdom such
as Sky Atlantic – an extension of HBO. They have been known to show British
programming using mainly British casts as well, such as Life’s Too Short and
the overly successful Game of Thrones.
Many HBO programmes are intended for audiences of 16-18+ as
swearing, violence and nudity is a prominent theme in a lot of the different
series. The Book of Tamlock would be aimed at this age group. The more family
friendly series are shown on an extension of HBO, HBO Family, to leave room for
the more serious and adult dramas and comedies. The main HBO channel mainly airs R-rated films only after
8:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific, but does air certain TV-MA rated programs during
the daytime hours.
Seeing as the company do use British actors and locations,
which would still appeal to an American demographic, I feel this would be the
right network for my show to be on as the network has much more of a wider range
of titles then most other networks, such as Showtime and AMC that seem to
focus, although with great shows of their own, on very similar styled and
themed programming. The broader sense makes HBO, and their expanse of
networking to other countries, the prime media format for my show to be on.
