HBO has a bit of a habit of making great shows and most of them get a great level of attention but some very genius HBO shows fly under the radar of the masses and because of that some of the shows got canceled early. But to appreciate them we are making a list that will contain the best 7 most underrated HBO shows that got canceled way too early. The series on this list will not be ranked because all of the series on this list are great and worth your time.

Run (2020)
Streaming on: HBO Max
Synopsis: One text can change everything. Ruby (Merritt Wever) and her former boyfriend Billy (Domhnall Gleeson) made a pact more than 15 years earlier: if either of them texted “RUN” and the other replied with the same, they would both drop everything and meet in Grand Central Station to travel across America.
