I litterally have nothing to do, so I open this blog and do something I really love:
making a list.
And since there was a new series running on HBO, I'm gonna make a short list of my favorite all time TV series.
Here it goes:
1. The Tudors
Story about the life of king Henry VIII of England, whom famous for his 6 wives and being the cause for England's 'break-up' with the Roman Catholic church.
Personally I think this series is amazing, and Jonathar Rhys-Meyers played the complex character of Henry the VIII perfectly.
It's actually a good way of learning history without making you bored: cast a bunch of sexy and good looking actors, make a good plot, add a lot of explicit sex scenes, and a British accent.
Who knew being a king could be so fun? Marry a woman, beheaded her on the next day, marry another woman, burn the Pope's hat...beheaded another woman....beheaded many people...
Cool.
2. True Blood
One word for the series: SEXY!
I thought that the movie Dracula is one great original story. Then came Kate Beckinsale in Underworld, made vampire looked fierce and kick-ass.
Then along came Twilight, made vampire looked cheap and 'sinetronish'.
Then finally, True Blood came and made vampire looked sexy and lustful.
The producer alone said, that when he heard the word vampire, all he had in mind is an unmistakeably sexy creatures that defines beauty, danger, and sex at the same time.
Nice.
I mean, just look at the poster.
3. CSI: NY
Beside the good looking cast and bizzare cases (or crime scene), you could actually learn a lot of things from this series, from chemistry to gadgets.
And it sets in New York, babe!
No need to argue.
4. How I Met Your Mother
On of the American series that ACTUALLY funny since the Cosby Show. Full stop.
Well it tells the story of Ted Mosby and his friend. The title actually pointed to the series perspective (Ted), whom telling his children about his friend, and how he finally met their mother.
5. The Pacific
What if you have a chance to visit a beautiful tropical islands, but instead of sunbathing or surfing, you are doing a mass killing? Yeah, that's what this movie talks about.
Sets on the WW 2, it tells the story of three main character in their true experience of the war between the US and Japanese army in the Pacific islands,
What makes this series special was that the executive producers were Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, who seemed to be addicted in war-movie since Saving Private Ryan.
This series has a very strong plot, sets, and it tell precisely how the main character forced-maturity through a horrifying war.
6. Ugly Betty
Colorful, fashionable, and originally funny series. It tells the story of Betty Suarez, a young ambitious woman who was far from perfect, who work in an elite fashion magazine.
I'll give you the question to help you love this series: when did the last time you watch a movie with a non-skinny main woman character?
Well, the original series' Betty was a lot uglier. Eeergh.
7. Rome
Sadly, this series only has two seasons, although personally I really like this series. The two short seasons made it rapidly faded from the viewers memory.
The story was about Julius Caesar, the king of the great Roman Empire, and how he lost his throne through the brutal murder of his own adopted son Brutus, and also the story after the murder of Caesar, include the famous love affair of Marc Antony and Cleopatra.
This is one of the series you should not watch with your parents. Along with The Tudors and True Blood.
Okay, so this is my short list for my favorite TV series. I still liked another series, like Nurse Jackie, Big Love, The Sopranos, and Cougar Town.
Be sure to watch those series above, and also the current show on HBO:
Broadwalk Empire
