It’s different in other countries. In Canada Showtime and HBO are bundled together in a service called, ‘Crave’. Therefore it’s on more of an equal footing. It doesn’t appear as a second tier to HBO. It just has a slightly different focus.
Like the article stated, Showtime was responsible for Weeds, Homeland, Nurse Jackie, United States of Tara, etc. Too many female-led productions? And queer content like The L Word and Queer as Folk. Too minority focused? But there’s Dexter, Masters of Sex and Shameless. Dexter’s recent re-boot was incredibly successful. End of an era I guess.
