Veep: it's an amazing satirical series. Fast punch lines, a few subtle jokes in an ocean of unafraid, brutal insults. Nev-AD-a! "We dated... and the world's gonna know that." #NotMe
Silicon Valley: one of the most funny, realistic, ironic peeks into the startup world. Well thought and refreshingly up-to-date, where the writers knew the end before opening the lenses for the first shot. Halt and Catch Fire is another peek but it's not a comedy. Irony happens when you try so hard to avoid something that you inevitably fall doing exactly that. It's really hard to plot right and Silicon Valley is full of them.
The Americans: underrated spy series. Slow burning, realistic. Humane without getting mushy.
Like The Americans, Line of Duty is another slow burning series about undercover operations. The writing will slow cook you to helplessness. It's a sad, gripping show. Save it for when it rains.
Succession: many people's favourite but the finale left too many loose ends. Feels closer to reality than Billions. You could say, Billions is how billionaires see themselves. Succession how they really are. Same with The West Wing vs Veep for politicians. Allegedly.
Peep Show: another underrated cringe, dry comedy series, that follows 2 goofy losers and their inner monologues. Not for everyone. Same creator as Succession.
Made with some <3 not a lot
