Wadau. What are some of the memorable tv series you have watched.
My personal favorite genre has to be anything involving drug syndicates, cartels and money laundering.
I am not a fan of any form of comedy, super power stuff is just meeh, and anything with American CIA, black ops, and other gimmicky action are not my thing. Here is a top 10 list of tv shows I have thoroughly enjoyed. I do enjoy some actual gore and nice death scenes as morbid as that may sound
I also enjoy shows that have many strong characters and you find yourself rooting for different people. Yellowstone
- The Wire.
Great action(i.e. blood & gore). Very realistic depiction of crime and narcotics in the hood. Fast paced and there is always some nice action to look forward to in each episode.
- Breaking Bad
Not much to say about this. Obviously a GOAT that deserves no explanation
- Better Call Saul
Slower pace compared to breaking bad but a lot more character development. It is more relatable as it deals with realistic problems with not obvious answers. Very amazing that 2 shows can be connected yet so different.
- BoardWalk Empire.
Has the best dialogue of all the shows here. Fast paced, great action close to but not at The Wire level. Has way more characters that matter than any show listed here which is a plus since every ‘mob’ boss is so different. Cold calculative jews, brute Italian mobs, new Americanized mobsters.
- Fargo
Telling a story by mixing timelines across episodes. Borrowed a lot of cast from Boardwalk empire which maybe speaks on the acting level of the former.
- Black Mirror
Has the most creative concepts of all the tv series listed here. Every episode is an entirely new ‘movie’ directed and written by different people.
-
Narcos. Most fast paced show here. Lots of action, money and drugs…what’s not to love.
-
Band of Brothers.
