I was tagged by @duchess-of-tales to post ten series I adore :) Things is I only came up with nine, but at least that is a mighty number ;) Aaand they’re in order :D
This is not my style at all with all the 80s and spooky stuff. BUT season 2 give me Mass Effect 3 feelz and for the first time in the series I didn’t have the capacity to think about why the monsters were impossible, bc I was too immersed in the story and all the great drama.
8. Orange Is The New Black
So many amazing characters. All very human with all their ridiculous flaws and very real feelings. That’s why I like this show so much. And even when you feel like you can’t relate to a character, chances are a few episodes later they’re gonna show something new about them and you’re gonna cry your eyes out.
THE Doctor Who? In Seventh place? What in the heck? Doctor Who is amazing, it has great drama, it’s all about characters, the fate and the many sides of the Doctor, oh and a lot of very interesting questions. But there are certain elements I don’t like, when it gets just a little too ridiculous. Still, this is one of the most amazing stories I’ve ever experienced.
Another show that started out as not my style at all, but after a few seasons of ups and downs I started to understand the way it thinks, its sense of humor. Gotham is utterly crazy, it’s dark and twisted, there are no happy endings, not even happy middles, it’s always about pain and loss and how badly people can handle it. But now that I don’t try to take it too seriously, I find its humor quite entertaining and whenever my favorite character dies again or loses everything, I just see it as inevitable and know that soon everything is going to change again.
Who doesn’t know Brooklyn 99? Well if you’re one of the people who somehow missed this amazing show, I can only recommend it. Amazing comedy, fresh, surprising, does it without being an asshole, AND the characters don’t stay shallow comedy characters at all. In spite of all the ridiculousness they are very human, real growing people, and you will love each and every one of them. And yes, after all the laughing it will make you cry in an instant.
Wow. It’s like Bully Herbig’s and Mel Brooks’ lovechild. It’s a musical. I don’t like musicals at all. This is the exception, this is a masterpiece. It’s comedy. But the kind you haven’t seen in a very long time. It will surprise you in every moment, I wasn’t just laughing I was screeching at my screen :’D And the characters. You will fall in love with them. You will laugh and cry with them. These are ridiculous amazing characters, and all of them will be improtant to you, just you watch. Wow, I’m geting emotional over here. Just watch this show, please you will not regret it!
Here we go, top three. Spoiler alert: you will cry your eyes out. All the questions and thoughts about being human, well written amazing characters you’re gonna fall in love with. This is one of those unforgettable experiences that will stay with you. For some reason there is a lot of needless se and even with all that this is one of my favorite shows ever and it definitely derserves to be in my top three.
By now probably most people have heard about Critical Role. If you know and play any tabletop rpgs or even if you’ve never even heard of those before, this is a unique experience. It’s not like playing, but watching these nerdy ass voice actors play with their best friends, make these epic stories, joke around, it’s everything. There are so many feelz, so much laughing, worrying, crying, everything. I cannot reccomend this enough.
Oh gods why are there so many great gifs for this show? :D Sorry for spamming. Why is Black Sails in first place? Because this is exactly the kind of storytelling that I love. Many characters, all of them different, but not that different after all. There is no single protagonist, you get to know all of them, you will understand all of them and even if you don’t agree with what they choose to do, you will have all the feelz. There ar so many great journeys and amazing character developments in this show. Stunning scenes, all the drama evör, oh god so many tears. And things change. All the time. By the time a character reaches the first step to achieve their goal, the entire situation changes around them and I love it. Go watch Black Sails ^^
