Among the myriad TV shows airing on HBO, Z: The Beginning of Everything is a close second. Aside from the usual suspects, this series stands out from the crowd thanks to a few savvy executive decisions and a few lucky breaks. It's no secret that this show has some of the best writers in Hollywood. Indeed, it has garnered accolades in the form of an Emmy nomination and several other nods. This is a true testament to the execs at the helm. Several episodes have already aired, and several more are slated to go down the chute before tucking it away for good. One of the biggies is the fact that the show has a budget of over a billion dollars. While the budget isn't as hefty as its competitors, the show still has some serious teeth to chew on. The show is a mash up between HBO and Netflix, and there are a few notable execs on the books.
