It’s 2017. Some TV shows have bigger budgets than average movies, attract bigger audiences than movies, and aren’t even viewed on TV! Everyone watches them, has a favourite show or even a couple of them. Of course, film industry is aware of that and that is why we see such an expansion of TV series market and platforms that let us enjoy them.
TV shows mania is here to stay. It’s more convenient to watch an episode (or five) at home on almost every device with the internet connection than go to the movie theater. What’s more, audience stay with characters for longer due to fact that seasons last longer than a film and often are released over the years.
I’ve decided to share with you with some of the shows I finished or started to watch recently. It’s obvious that one can easily get lost in the number of propositions of networks today. Let’s share some gems that you think are worth watching!

Narcos
Factual series showing rise and fall of one of the biggest drug cartel’s boss - Pablo Escobar.
Taking audience to the world of criminals and millions of dollars stacked everywhere. An intense, dark and addictive show. It’s worth watching just for the captivating performance of Wagner Moura (playing Escobar). In my opinion Heath Ledger Jokers level. Especially useful if you want to learn how to curse in Spanish ;)

Stranger Things

Mood of this show really reminds me of E.T. A sci-fi show about a group of friends trying to find their missing friend and their adventures. Things get complicated when they meet Eleven, a girl with supernatural powers. Provided with a great soundtrack!
Ray Donovan

Spiritual successor of The Sopranos. Drama about a father and husband, Ray Donovan, working in California as a guy that does dirty work for celebrities. Things get complicated when some event from his shady and dark past comes to light. At first, a slow paced show which after a few episodes takes the audience for a crazy ride in Mercedes-Benz CLS 550.
The Night Of

Yes, another show about criminals on this list. But this time it’s about the innocent guy! Nasir Khan - a student that was in a wrong place, at the wrong time. After being put in jail suspected of homicide and rape he has to survive there until his trial. With an infamous lawyer on his side, Nasir has to stay hopeful he won’t be sentenced, at the same time trying not to get killed by his inmates. The Night Of really shows how the surrounding can affect one’s behaviour.
Share with me your propositions !

Some time ago I finished "The Knick" - graet one. Historical, medical one. Great costumes, realistic surgey. You can learn something about XX century society in New York. I recommend, but if you are afraid of blood or surgery in TV then you shouldn't watch it.
I'm also watching "The Fall" with amazing Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan. It is about serial killer, actually about catching him. I haven't finished it, but as for now I really like it.
One of the most interesting polish TV series, which comes to my mind now is Wataha. It's about a man, whose friends and sweetheart died in a bomb attempt. He try to find a perpetrator.
I heard that, despite the fact that it is a TV series, the work of the Border Guard is presented very realistically.
On the other hand, I like to watch American's series such as 'Game of Thrones', 'Suits' etc.
I like good TV series very much and that's kind of a problem, when I find some good TV series I get addicted to them and watch them till the end, usually it lasts for a few days:) It's better when you have to wait for the next episode, otherwise you just have to see what happens next.
Vikings, The Knick, Supernaturals, Sherlock, Sons of Anarchy, Six Feet Under, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Shameless, Mr. Robot .... I could write endlessly :). Shows are better entertainment for me than long films. If you are a student of computer science, for sure you'll like Mr. Robot.
Recently I haven't had the time to watch new series, but maybe when I am done with some projects, I find a new and interesting series which I could recommend afterwards.
The other one soon to come which is a must for me will be Twin Peaks – I don’t know if any of you have seen it as it is quite old but to me it is really a masterpiece by David Lynch.
I have seen a few episodes of mentioned in your presentation – Ray Donovan and I enjoyed it, but am not so crazy about it.
The Night Of is also one of the best shows that I have seen in years. I have already recommended it to most of my friends and all of them loved it.
I am also waiting to see the new Sherlock by BBC with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.
I always check new titles, but it is very hard to find something good.
My friends have told me about “Narcos” and “Stranger Things” but I haven’t heard about “Ray Donovan” and “The night of” before, they sound really interesting though, so I will definitely watch them. I really love TV-series, much more than movies.
Recently I started watching “Prison Break” again, because I really liked it as a kid, and this year the sequel to the series will be released.
When my mood is awful I watch The Big Bang Theory - they could always make me smile and forget about my problems) The same with legendary Friends and How I met Your Mother.
True detective is very cool, Mad Men has it's style. I also like Scandinavian detectives like Broen( the Bridge). It's atmosphere is calm.
When I was a teen I have watched Buffy;) still love it.
Now I have started the Young Pope - it's a lil bit boring, but beautiful. I also plan to watch The Crown and House of Cards.
