Yay to
television series, for the night is boring and movie’s way too short! As I have
stated probably a hundredth times already, I always love television series
especially because its length, and therefore longer world plus character
building you can count on. Admit it, there’s no way you’d like Jaime Lannister
after the “thing he does for love” if not for three to four season long
redemption.
1. Westworld | HBO (1
season to date)
Subjectively, Westworld is everything straight
from the movies I love. Science fiction slashes the question of life and the
mind games. Hints are here and there and all the theories afterwards are
mindblowing. I can go as far as naming it a worthy equal to Game of Thrones in
terms of the quality.
Here, highly advanced Artificial Intelligences
(The Hosts) are assigned to specific roles in the narratives at Old Western
theme park "Westworld" for the super-rich. The hosts are not designed
to fight back—by one line of specific coding, at that, though this time they
start to realize the constructed lies they have been living.
I find myself in awe thinking about how the
loops are connected, and that's probably the furthest I could go without
spoiling anything to you. A lot of things make sense and don't at the same time.
Westworld is indeed a brilliantly addictive masterpiece, and to
describe it without continuously praising creators Jonathan Nolan & wife
Lisa Joy is utterly impossible. It is an ambitious project by the same people
that blow our mind circa forever, and with that high kind of expectation, it manages
to deliver more.
The next season is scheduled for 2018 premiere
(boomer!).
2. Stranger Things | Netflix (1 season to date)
Oh, haven’t you heard about it 99 times already?
Stranger Things is 2016’s summer darling, and that’s for a good reason. Taking
a step back into the nostalgic path of the more domestic lives out there in the
Indiana circa 80s, Stranger Things is all about kids in bicycles, Dungeon &
Dragons, and small city-big adventure gone a lot darker that it should.
On one fateful night after playing around with
his bestfriends, Will Bryce is gone missing, and the innocent suburb starts to
reveal its creepy secret with monster on the agenda, adorable kids gang, and
Winona Ryder. As Stranger Things is recalling legendary masterpieces, name E.T.
or Stand by Me, it has a strong vibes of Stephen King’s story it might be
easily very inspired by one. It has fast pace to keep viewers hooked,
occasionally gory, and depending on your perspective, creepily realistic.
The next season will be released on 27 October
2017.
3. The Crown | Netflix (1 season to date)
Adaptation of the long reign monarch has
been done several times already, but The Crown simply nails it better. With an
amazing assemble of casts, this one is exceptional and beautifully made. We
start early with the young Princess Elizabeth, and that’s how she is humanized
in the most relatable way. She is strong and tender, nervous but determined. The
series emphasizes her internal struggle between the monarch and her personal
life every now and then, just right.
The entire team behind The Crown seems to be so
devoted in bringing you an eye-watering creation of the real historic events,
including Elizabeth and Phillip’s wedding at Westminster Abbey with rumored
$37000 worth of gown replica.
The next season will be released on 8 December
2017.
4. The Man in The High
Castle | Amazon
(2 seasons to date)
Honestly, I am quite disappointed with the
second season of the series, but their plot is still winning whatsoever.
Original, thrilling, and done with a malicious details. In TMITHC, Adolf
Hitler's Nazi won the war and USA is ruled by The Germans and Japs. We are
following the journey of several pinpoint; the citizens, the resistances, and
the rulers eventually. This alternate world is so amazingly built it left you
with sense of chilling realism about what could actually happen.
Although having some degradation after the first
season, I still have to applaud the writing work. There are just right amount
of mystery and revelation to keep you seated through the slow-paced story
building. If anything, they are that good also in characterisation I ended up
rooting for a Nazi leader, just because.
The next season will be released in the end of
2017.
5. Suits | USA Network (6 seasons to date)
Phew finally, something close to the reality!
Set in the high-end corporate law industry where everything is about closing or
not closing the deal, the dynamic between every characters in Suits is enjoyable and
charming. If you've read the list long enough to find anything not involving a
freaky AI, dying child, monster, or nationwide wellbeing, you made it!
I love Suits, because it is smart when
entertaining, and ain't every other series can nail those two qualities quite
right. That being said, I can approve that Suit is recommended for almost
everyone with or without any law degree (our protagonist actually doesn't!).
They are currently airing season seven right
now!
