The best TV shows streaming on Crave in June 2023
Canada's Crave is known for its top-shelf TV show library. We've picked out the best of the best here.
Though Crave has added movies to its service, the main course of its library has always been quality television and episodes upon episodes of HBO’s finest franchises. You could literally spend a year sitting in that favourite armchair of yours consuming all of this top-tier TV. It’s downright excessive.
The only problem with having access to a ludicrous amount of entertainment hours: the very finite time the average human has to spare for watching. So we thought it would be best to zero in on the absolute must-watch shows that no viewer should be without. Be it comedy, drama or horror, this list of the crème de la crème of Crave has something for every taste.

25. The Wire (2002)
Cast:
- Dominic West as Jimmy McNulty
- Lance Reddick as Cedric Daniels
- Sonja Sohn as Kima Greggs
- Wood Harris as Avon Barksdale
The American war on drugs was a fugazi. We know this now but in the simpler times of 2002, there was still plenty of hope left in law enforcement and the general public. Initially, The Wire chronicles a group of Baltimore homicide and narcotics detectives and their targets, but this soon expands to include the many other corrupt, self-sustaining bureaucracies that are plaguing the city. You should also expect to fall in love with a bunch of characters who constantly shift between good and evil.

Cast:

- David Tennant as The Doctor
- Peter Capaldi as The Doctor

27. Band of Brothers (2001)
Cast:
- Damian Lewis as Richard D. Winters
- Ron Livingston as Lewis Nixon
- Donnie Wahlberg as C. Carwood Lipton
- Matthew Settle as Ronald Speirs
Forget the blockbuster WWII fiction of Saving Private Ryan. For Band of Brothers, co-producers Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks drew from the real life heroics and interviews of Easy Company, an elite paratrooper unit out of Georgia. Band of Brothers follows the unit’s full journey from insertion behind enemy lines in Normandy early on D-Day morning to participation in the Battle of the Bulge, and then as they become the first discoverers of the hidden horrors of the Nazi regime. This is authentic and essential viewing.

28. South Park (1997)
Cast:
- Trey Parker as Eric Cartman/Stan Marsh (voice)
- Matt Stone as Kyle Broflovski/Kenny McCormick (voice)
- Mona Marshall as Sheila Broflovski (voice)
- April Stewart as Sharon Marsh (voice)
Spawned from a crude, politically incorrect short about Jesus fighting Santa, South Park has since become a multiple-season animation juggernaut. On the surface, it follows the misadventures of four irreverent grade-schoolers in the quiet, dysfunctional town of South Park, Colorado, but behind all the construction paper and fart jokes is some razor-sharp commentary on current events. Not for the easily offended – nor the potty averse – South Park is like nothing else on television.

29. Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000)
Cast:
- Larry David as Larry David
- Jeff Garlin as Jeff Greene
- Susie Essman as Susie Greene
For the few of you who didn’t know it, off-kilter, no-filter-having Larry David was the real-life inspiration for Seinfeld‘s George Costanza. David more or less plays himself in Curb Your Enthusiasm, a comedy series that sees him nit-picking and over-analysing his way through the uber-correct intimacies of the LA tinsel town.
Everything gets a look in here: politeness, casual day-to-day-spite and just about every no-go topic in modern society. David finds a way to blunder his way into it all in hilarious fashion.

30. Deadwood (2004)
Cast:
- Timothy Olyphant as Seth Bullock
- Ian McShane as Al Swearengen
- Molly Parker as Alma Garret
- Jim Beaver as Whitney Ellsworth
This early HBO show set the standard for Western TV series. Life comes at you fast in Deadwood, South Dakota, a brutal frontier mining encampment with aspirations of becoming cosmopolitan. History buffs will love this to death as the narrative is woven around actual historic events with most of the main characters based on real people (Calamity Jane, Wild Bill Hickok and E.B. Farnham to name but a few). Drama fans will fall for it too, thanks to the frequent power plays made by local “entertainment proprietor” Al Swearengen and Seth Bullock, a hot-tempered ex-lawman who begrudgingly puts back on a star to keep some modicum of law and order in town.
