If one can get paid to watch TV shows (not daily saas-bahu shows), I would be a multi-millionaire. This love affair started with Vampire Diaries; we are still passionate lovers even after 10 years.
Disclaimer Alert: I am in no way claiming these are the best shows ever made or other shows are not good. All I want to say is that these are my favourites.
Without any delay, let’s talk about my favourite TV Series:
Modern Family: Modern Family is about three families from California trying to deal with their kids, quirky spouses, and jobs in their own unique ways.
It was a summer evening around 7 years back and I was lazily surfing the internet and came across this show. And voila; I am was in love right from the first episode of the first season.
My most favourite episode is the Punkin Chunkin from season 3.
And the most favorite quote from the show is….
“There are dreamers and there are realists in this world. You'd think the dreamers would find the dreamers and the realists would find the realists, but more often than not the opposite is true. You see, the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun.”
Person of Interest: Former CIA agent Reese, now presumed dead; and billionaire software genius Finch join forces as a vigilante crime-fighting team.
Though this show was started in 2011 and ended in 2016, I saw it in 2019. And to my surprise, I loved it so much that I binged watched 103 episodes. There are very few shows where all the seasons are well made, this is one of them.
My favourite quote from the show is….
"Maybe it's up to me to do what the good people can't. Or maybe there are no good people. Maybe there are only good decisions."
Law & Order: SUV: A special victims unit of NYPD detectives solve sexual assault, child abuse, and rape cases based on real crimes.
This show is on its 22nd season and I have seen all the episodes of all 22 seasons. This is one of the shows which is still able to hold its good storyline even after so many episodes.
My favourite quote from the show is….
“Some things, you can put them behind you…but they do change you.”
Evil: Psychologist Kristen Bouchard reluctantly works together with David Acosta, a priest in training, to investigate and find a logical explanation for every supernatural occurrence within the Church.
This show gives an X-Files vibe and I love the grey area it’s exploring. And I love Mike Colter.
My favourite quote from the show is….
“There’s no such thing as good and evil, black and white. There’s only gray. There’s only what a man can stand.”
Billions: This Showtime drama pits billionaire hedge-fund manager Bobby opposite the U.S. Attorney for New York.
This show is a character study. All the characters are very well written and well developed.
My favourite quote from the show is….
“Get good at letting go, which is a different kind of freedom.”
Hannibal: Based on the Thomas Harris novels “Red Dragon” and “Hannibal,” brilliant forensic psychologist/cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter.
This show portrays serial killing like art and I simply loved it (FYI, I am not a serial killer, not even one in making).
My favourite quote from the show is….
“An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is a normal behaviour.”
Mindhunter: This crime drama follows two FBI agents who essentially write the book on criminal profiling in the late 1970s by interviewing serial killers.
Well, I am fascinated by serial killers and this show is brilliant, to say the least. This show is based on a time when the “Serial Killer” term was not even coined.
My favourite quote from the show is….
"We're All Our Own Prisons. We Are Each Our Own Wardens. We Do Our Own Time. Prison Is In Your Mind."
Honorable Mentions:
The Handmaid's Tale, Prison Break, 24, Mad Men, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Family Man, Dark, House of Cards, Paatal Lok, American Crime Story, Ted Lasso, Sherlock, The Americans, and many more.
Happy Watching
