Stranger Things
Stranger Things is a sci-fi horror series created by the Duffer Brothers, who also wrote and directed it. It was first released in 2016 and follows a group of friends as they investigate a mysterious disappearance in their small town of Hawkins, Indiana. The cast includes Winona Ryder (as Joyce Byers), David Harbour (as Chief Jim Hopper), and Finn Wolfhard (as Mike Wheeler).
The Great British Bake Off
The Great British Bake Off is a reality competition show hosted by Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc. Contestants from around the UK compete in various challenges, with one contestant being crowned “Star Baker” at the end of each season who wins a trophy and title.
One of the many, many adaptations of Pride and Prejudice
One of the many, many adaptations of Pride and Prejudice is BBC’s Sense and Sensibility (1995), starring Emma Thompson as Eliza Bennett and Hugh Grant as Mr. Edward Ferrars. This version focuses on the Bennet sisters’ aunt, who takes them in after their father dies.
It has been compared to Austen’s original novel in that it follows three separate storylines: one about love lost; another about a young couple who have been married for ten years; and another about social status at play in society.
The Sopranos
The Sopranos is a crime drama television series that premiered on HBO in 1999. It was created by David Chase, who also served as its executive producer and showrunner.
The series stars James Gandolfini as New Jersey–based Italian American mobster Tony Soprano, who struggles with his own family over the course of several seasons before being killed off at the end of season 6 (1999–2000).
The series’ plots often feature strong elements of family drama and sometimes explore issues such as racism and religion.
The show’s success led to its being cited as an influence on popular culture including film; it has been called “one of the greatest TV shows ever made”.
The Great British Sewing Bee
The Great British Sewing Bee is a reality competition show that’s fun to watch and educational. The contestants are all sewers, but it’s not just for sewers. Anyone can participate in this show. You don’t have to be an expert seamstress or even know how to sew at all you just need to love fashion and design.
The show follows three contestants who each have their own sewing room at home where they work on designing clothes, accessories, and other things that might seem outside of what most people would consider “sewing.”
These contestants compete against each other every week as they create new pieces of clothing using different fabrics (elderflowers) or different techniques (embroidery). It’s great if you’re into fashion, but also if you aren’t because there are some pretty cool designs on display here.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is an Amazon Prime Video original series that takes place in the 1950s and features Rachel Brosnahan as Miriam “Midge” Maisel, a Jewish woman who married an anti-Semitic comedian (Alex Borstein).
In this period piece set against the backdrop of Hollywood and New York City, we follow Midge as she navigates her way through life while trying to make it a standup comic.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino who has written several episodes for other shows including Gilmore Girls among others at Warner Bros Television where she works alongside her husband Daniel Palladino who also serves as executive producer on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Fleabag
Fleabag is a British comedy that revolves around a woman who has sex with men, but not relationships. It’s hilarious and worth watching if you’re looking for something lighthearted and easy to digest.
It stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who also wrote the show. Her character often spends time alone in her apartment talking to herself or fantasizing about other people (or both).
She has an interesting history of mental illness—she grew up in foster care before being adopted by two sisters who raised her until she graduated from college at age 29—so it’s no surprise that her personality can come off as “crazy” at times because she doesn’t know how else to process things like love and loss in life.
Glow
Glow is a comedy about women’s wrestling, set in the 1980s. It stars Alison Brie (The Mindy Project) and follows one of its stars as she tries to make it out of a small town with her dreams of becoming a professional wrestler by getting into the National Championship Tournament.
The show was created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, who also serve as executive producers alongside Jenji Kohan (Orange Is The New Black) and Becky Aronson-Ranieri (Weeds).
Glow has been nominated for two Golden Globes: Best Actress In A Limited Series Or TV Movie And Best Television Limited Series or TV Movie at the 2019 Golden Globes ceremony on January 7th, 2019!
Big Little Lies
Big Little Lies is a series based on the novel of the same name by Liane Moriarty. The series stars Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, and Shailene Woodley as three women who become embroiled in a murder investigation after one of them dies.
The show was created by David E Kelley and stars Zoë Kravitz as Jane Perryman, Laura Dern as Renata Klein, and Zoë Kravitz as Madeline Whitshank.
The drama explores themes such as domestic violence, infidelity, child abuse, and murder but it also highlights how these issues impact our society today through characters that reflect real-life events or experiences we may face in our own lives.
