    70s' Totally Original Idea of Posting His Top 15 TV Shows

    in Culture Shock

    Posted

    Without any further ado...

    1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997 - 2003)

    Yep, this is my favorite show of all time. From beginning to end, just one of the best things I've ever seen. Actually, that's kind of a lie. Season one isn't that great. But what comes after that... wow. It's a shame that this show was sometimes dismissed as a "girly" show, but it definitely seems to have gained a huge following now, as it deserves. I discovered it on Netflix years ago and loved it so much. I wasn't the only one that loved it, my brother and parents watched most of it with me. Literally anyone can enjoy this show with its action, witty dialogue, and great acting. People now know Joss Whedon for directing The Avengers but Buffy in its prime is better. The show also had the best musical episode I've ever seen. It had Hush, a truly terrifying episode. It had the saddest episode of television I've ever seen (won't get into details just in case anyone wants to give the show a shot). Because of this show, Sarah Michelle Gellar has become one of my absolute favorite actresses. Buffy is one of my favorite characters ever on TV and her portrayal was flawless. I loved watching the show and spending time with Buffy, Willow, Xander, Giles, Anya, Cordelia, Tara, and everyone else. It's hilarious that this was based off of a pretty shitty movie and it is so, SO much better. "Reboots" of TV shows and movies are starting to get out of hand, but if they ever bring Buffy back, you won't hear me complaining.

    Favorite Character: Buffy Summers (obviously)
    Favorite Season: Season 3

    Thanks to everyone that's read this countdown. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

    #1 is coming soon but first I wanted to give the spotlight to a few current shows that aren't eligible for my list because they don't have three seasons yet, but would otherwise be very likely to get a spot. These aren't honorable mentions, because if I'm including them they probably would've found a way on my list:

    Jane the Virgin

    This show would probably be in my top 5 if it were eligible for the list. It's honestly perfect. When it first premiered I, along with pretty much everyone, was really skeptical of its premise. A virgin is accidentally inseminated with someone's sperm and gets pregnant? But the show works so much better than it has any right to. It's a flawless mix of humor and heart, and parodying telenovela tropes while completely embracing them is an inspired idea. It's no surprise that this is the first show from the CW to get nominated at the Golden Globes. Not only did it get nominated, but Gina Rodriguez got a well-deserved win for her amazing portrayal of Jane. This show gets my highest recommendation no matter who you are. Also, #TeamMichael.

    Sense8

    This show... is even harder to explain than Jane the Virgin. But I wholeheartedly recommend it. Basically, eight people's brains are connected. If we're being real, for the first few episodes you're going to be confused. You'll be able to follow what's happening, but you'll be confused. But then it all kind of just clicks together in episode three or four and suddenly you're amazed. Or at least, I was. This is an extremely ambitious show and it's beautiful. As with all Netflix original shows, it's perfect for a binge.

    Fargo

    This fucking show. It's hard to say much about it because I almost don't want to give ANYTHING away. Season 1 was a masterful bit of storytelling and season 2 so far looks like it could be even better. It's surprising that they could take the structure and feeling of the classic movie and make it work for a ten-hour TV show but they've done it so well, you might even say it's better.
