If you had to recommend someone watch 5 TV series, what would you pick? (here are mine)
Game of thrones
Breaking bad
Dexter
Family guy
Married with children
Confession time: I have downloaded seven seasons of GoT, and yet to start the series. That's right, I'm a GoT virgin ?
Battlestar Galactica (2004)
This one is a nice discussion of every aspect and grey areas of society
Seinfeld
Humor in its natural shape
South park
The first seasons are random nonsense, but the new ones are worderful social critics double down episode is the perfect description of the Trump effect for example.
I love Seinfeld.
I assume I am recommending to someone with my exact taste....
Deep cut bonus
Freaks and Geeks (brilliant show, ahead of its time. Only one season, but I often wonder what happened to Lindsay after following the dead that summer)
Yes.. Picard is highly recommended as a role model.
Shameless
Lost Girl
Seinfeld
30 Rock
WKRP in Cincinnati
Hah!! Name drop time.. I child minded Anna (Lost Girl) when she was a preteen. It was really odd to watch her as an adult acting.. I wasn't a fan of the show.. found the writing. hmmm.. lacking.. to put it politely. But enjoyed tuning in once in a while to watch Ms. Silk strut her stuff ( and yes Silk is her real name not a stage nom de plume). I haven't seen her in person for many years but she was a real gem of a youngster. I can only imagine she is as giving a person now as she was then
Haven't watched "new" tv series for a while just kind of lost interest with other things to do,... watched a few episodes of Riverdale out of curiosity as to what they would do with the characters.. checked out Black Mirror for the story lines dealing with how Tech is affecting society.
All things considered I think these 5 have some value beyond pure entertainment
X-Files ( first 4 seasons), The Office, MASH, Reboot (animated), and Schitt's Creek ( Canadian)
Breaking Bad
The Orville
True Blood
Blue Bloods
Star Trek Deep Space Nine
Game of Thrones
Battlestar Galactica
Britannia
Eureka
MASH
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Breaking Bad
The Good Place
Futurama
Damages
