Reviews and Complaints

I have faithfully watched the bill maher real time show every week for the past 10 years. I subscribe to hbo only because of his show . Every week i would learn new things about new topics all over the world, enjoying all the brilliant, knowledgeable, guests he had on his show about science, world history, war, poverty, morals, prison systems, health issues and updates, you name it, he enlightened people about it . Now the entire show for the past year and a half is about defaming, destroying, bashing, humiliating, donald trump. It starts with the monologue, then his first chair guest, then to his 2 or 3 member panel, then his 4th guest, he asks about and only talks about president trump, all trumps faults and his so called lying to everyone, and his womanizing over the years. Then 70 % of his new rules is about bashing trump, then his final speech at end of show is usually 60%, about trump, being no good, too fat, dumb, unable to read etc this past show on feb 2 /2018 was his worst, most interrupted, most annoying, most disorganized, trump bash show ever, with scaramonni trying to explain things but maher shut him right off, rudely,
this bill maher wants to dedicate his entire show to trump topics only, period, no diversity in his shows anymore, why you renewed his contract for 3 years is beyond me, is he that high on pot that he cannot think logically anymore ? about any subject other than trying to get trump not to win the election in 2020 via his show of trump destruction ? change the name of his show to this ''trump time with bill maher" please please reply to me and let bill read this email, he would not even know what to say to me about this i love vice, and i love vice news tonight, that he produces, i never miss it
but his real time show i will miss on purpose and i hope 2 million other trump supporters start doing the same thing as me thank you for your time, hope to get a reply george d, nv. Was going to see him at mirage hotel, would not go now if the tickets were for free.

When you look at the movie description of Almost Christmas it states, "In this heartwarming comedy-drama, an African-American widower asks his family to join him for their first Christmas since his wife died." I find this description to be incredibly racist. Any other show or movie would not make the distinction that a character is African American. I don't see why that matters or why you feel the need to include that in the description. Please revise your description promptly.

I, like many others, will cancel my subscription as soon as game of thrones is done!
I do not know the problems with production, writing, or actors. But I know one thing,
Game of thrones was one of the best series with the biggest fan base, why would the producers or corporate managers give up and essentially ruin HBO's most popular series to date.
As the story finally comes to a head resolving long awaited storylines is a slap in the face to fans. Perhaps the focus groups messed it up.
The first few seasons I feel like there was too much information on small side storylines. I could understand earlier seasons being cut down to 6 or 7 episodes but NOT the season finally where everything in the show has been antisipated .
With the wealth of story from the books it's hard to imagine why finally we reach the peak of the story they cut 3 and 4 episodes. It's just lazy, I'm sure the production cost was a problem but the money could have been used on GOT instead of trying new series that just flopped like vinal etc.
I've never seen so many fans enraged and dissapionted over a tv show it's astounding, or part of their plan who knows.
They are moving way too fast on the important storylines and too slow on side quests.
This show made history and the final 2 seasons aren't even 10 episodes!
I want an explanation as to why HBO can't be bothered to end such a historic tv show with lazy and rushed episodes. Many would be satisfied to have the show end with 10 episodes but it's somehow too much to ask. I know many people online who pay for HBO just for game of thrones, that's how iconic and good it was, I'm sure at least 30% or more will cancel their subscription after GOT ends, unless they just love mediocre comedy's and what good but canceled dramas to make room for new shows with mostly bad directors and story like " I'm dying up here" for example, god forbid HBO sticks to shows like GOT which are groundbreaking, or at the very least GIVE G.O.T A PROPER SEND OFF with the respect it deserves!
Only 6 episodes to say farewell to game of thrones is just insulting! Almost to the point of giving up on HBO all together. Who ever made the call to cut 4 hours at the series finale and much anticipated story peak of GOT should be fired and flayed living!
I'm begging whoever is in charge to just go the extra mile and give the last of GOT a full 10 episodes or you will have desecrated the series. 4 hours is not that much of a request for the show or the fans. Unless you want to use your resources on another mindless flop!

I am sick and tired of this guy and his liberal fake views. Makes HBO look stupid.
I am military and from a military family and Bill Maher is disgusting and disrespectful to America and our President. He is nothing more than a hater. Always trying to start or create [censor]. Pardon my language but that's what it is... [censor]! I have subscribed to HBO since it started as well as Directv. I spoke with Directv and inquired about removing HBO.
They are ready to do so whenever I'm ready. Well I'm ready. Bill Maher goes or I go!
Plus when I go, my family goes and they are military retired or active duty. Word can spread real quick in the military and military people stick together. Get Bill Maher off HBO please!

I have had the worst experience with this company! Which surprised me because I had HBO under my cable provider and never an issue. Customer satisfaction is a priority ! I had an issue and emailed hbo received a generic "someone is working on your ticket" I call HBO to expedite it and spoke with a live rep who was rude and refused to help and advised me that someone was working on my "ticket" two weeks later all I have is numerous emails that state "working on it " I've requested supivisor to call me and still send a email "what's your contact number " umm I should of stated "on my ticket" so disappointed !' All I know is I hope none of you ever have an issue because I will get the run around!

The show should not be on TV where it can be watched by children and teenagers. There is way too much SEX, nudity, and violence. It's no wonder our children are killing each other and others with guns and knives. What a sick show, I can't watch it, it's to vulgar. Clean it up please. Not for me, because I wouldn't watch it even if you paid me to. But for all the children out there who are watching it. CLEAN IT UP PLEASE. What are you trying to gain by exploiting your actresses. These [censor] should know better than to let you make [censor] of them for your own gain and hate of women. You should all be punished for making such a disgusting show, and the network should be sued for allowing it to air. It's your fault that society is so screwed up. And all the gay and lesbian crap. Really? We hate it, enough is enough. It's time to clean up the smut. I certainly will NOT be renewing my TV nor netflix subscription if you don't take all the smut and crap out of the programming. I don't want to watch SEX scenes, gore, gay and/or lesbian SEX or necking, nor excessive violence. I want to be entertained when I watch TV not horrified, disgusted and make to feel like I'm going to vomit. I want programming that's clean, enjoyable, pleasant yet real. I don't mind reality and hard knox programs but I don't need all the gory details and I don't need explicate scenes. Have you people become so demented that you've gotten so low into your darkness that you can't even see the light. Your lives must be extremely depressing. Wake up and get a life, get out of the gutter and give us some enjoyable pleasant and uplifting programming that makes us happy, sad, compassionate, loving, thankful etc... Then you'll have accomplished something.

Watching a movie on HBO India I'd becoming pathetic day by day thanks to too much self censorship. Do you really consider Indians to be that dumb and sensitive that you cut scenes. Plenty of scenes have been cut in the second half of The Dark Knight. What is your problem in showing Harvey Dent's half burnt face? Coming to Hangover, let alone the "taboo" scenes, you even chopped off harmless dialogues and an entire scene where Stu meets the stripper.
Too much of self censorship will only result on loss of viewership and people will resort to piracy. It's 21st century! Grow up!

Was watching The Conjuring 2 on TV today. And was wondering why exactly did you guys show it. If you are censoring the horror scenes in the horror movies, why exactly are you showing it. If people watching horror movies on tv are so gentle and fragile to watch it, they have got the option of CHANGING the channel. Please do not show these kinds of movies on tv after censoring the major scenes in it. You guys are just ridiculing that movie and the viewers .

Seriously, Hbo, (and I'm referring to the organisation as a whole in the hope of reaching the people who decide on these matters) the new Night King in Game of Thrones is FUGLY. What really is annoying to viewers is that you had a wonderful and talented actor, namely Richard Brake, and you had to ditch him and replace him with one who doesn't nearly look as good and isn't even HALF as eerie, mysterious, and fascinatingly terrifying as him. This is absolute nonsense. It's a shame for your viewers who have always loved your quality content and spent lots and lots of money on merch and subscriptions, it's a shame for the art form and, visually, it's just a CRIME to choose someone as ugly and underwhelming as the new Night King, Vlad Furdik. I have nothing against him personally but his portrayal of the Night King is a JOKE. The future generations will laugh at you, Hbo. I really hope you can fix this before the show ends. Give it an ending worthy of its name, Hbo, please.
Me and millions of other viewers and fans want Richard Brake back as the Night King.

Lately you have rerun movies of actors who have made noxious political comments. I and many know your programming has taken a sharp left lately. These actors are paid residuals in terms of reruns. Is this Liberal Hollywood paying for political propaganda? Bill Maher needs to go. I will unsubscribe from HBO. You've basically said F-you to American customs and traditions. Pathetic!

I have watched HBO boxing for many years and continue to be surprised by the lack of Latino Commentators on any of your shows! Latinos spend more time and money on boxing than most other groups and obviously make up a huge percentage of boxers so not being included as Commentators, Referees or Judges is not acceptable and at the very least smacks of bias or discrimination against the Latino community by HBO! This current unfairness might be tolerable if your white and black only Commentators did not appear to be so biased against Latino boxers in their statements whenever they are commenting on a flight where a Latino is boxing against a non Latino boxer. Maybe it's time for the Latino community to switch over and actively support other channels such as Show Time which at least makes the effort to include Latino Commentators in their programming! Please check your bias and make the effort to do the same!

Hi,
www.instagram.com/purepallets are using Game of Thonest images to enhance their products. Is this allowed as a colleague requested using Harry Potter images and artwork and was quoted £4000 as a basic cost.
Purepallets is also selling on facebook, Etsy, Walter and May and 4 other outlets plus regular Craft Fairs giving her unfair advantage over other craft sellers without permission or cosy. I hope you will look at this.

I spoke with dish and was told this is HBO not dish where the problem lies and since I can download All other shows on ALL other channels I believe this is true. Game of Thrones as well as other shows like Girls and Ballers are not downloading my wireless internet is running at 77.79 mbps and I spoke with my internet service as well so I know it's not my internet. My husband and I got so frustrated by this we ordered the box set of the series Game of Thrones so we could watch it. I would like to see the problems with downloading shows on your Network rectified or at least let the public know your working on fixing the problem.

Game of Thrones consistently has inadequate captioning. Whole sentences are simply ignored. This is unacceptable for a network and a show of this magnitude.
This is not a single incident. It is repeated and has been for years.
Desired resolution: do a better job of captioning.
Even the Deaf and Hard of Hearing watch GOT.
I am not commenting on other HBO series at this point, though others are also problematic .
HBO is in violation of the FCC's rules on closed captioning.

Should be self-explanatory. You have to be kidding me. To put this on HBO would cause me to have to unsubscribe from your service. Why it should take at least 350 words to explain why is beyond me, but I'll keep typing to fore fill the requirement. An alternative history where the southern Confederate states win and slavery is still in place.

My father was a WWII Veteran and my son is an Iraq Veteran. We are all disgusted with the racist comment by Bill Maher, but more disturbed by his arrogant, entitled response that his comment was a "joke". The entertainers are taking things too far. We have Maher's "joke" and Kathy Griffin's beheading of our President as another "joke". These "jokes" are insults to our Country and every Veteran who has given the last measure of devotion so they can have Freedom of Speech. I truly hope that the Leadership of HBO does the right thing and for all Americans and proves there are repercussions for your actions and removes Bill Maher.

I have been a subscriber to HBO for numerous years, yet I am disgusted by your company's position with Bill Maher. Last week, he had the nerve to use the phrase "House N...r" in a piece with Senator Ben Sasse. What on earth does he have to do for you to punish this immoral man?

I can no longer support a company that justifies this as "comedy". The mere fact that you permit it, do not disown it, and move forward, shows us that you are more concerned about ratings than doing what is right.

There are too many dates to list. Bill Maher is a foul mouthed racist that I don't want my children exposed to. When I watch movies my children sometime turn on the tv to see this subhuman say the horrible things about my country, my home. I know he has a right to free speech, but where are the retribution for his foul language, his horrible mouth, the horrible things he says.

I am a fan of Bill Mahr and want to express my disappointment with his use of the "N" word. I know that he like to to make provocative statements to get a rise out of people, but he has crossed the line.

I don't want him off the air because we need his voice. However, as part of his apology he should make a sizable donation to a Black College or the Anti-Defamation League.

He needs to make an apology at the start of his next show...if there is another show...

Bill Maher should be removed from his program for using the racist term "house [censor]." This is appalling to me. Maher should be taken off television for using vitriolic language against a whole class of persons.
America has no place for celebrities who abuse their media power to insult and degrade audiences for whom they have contempt.
Keep Bill Maher off of HBO.
