I probably spend more time catching up on TV shows every week than I spend doing my homework... Most of the shows that I watch are very popular and widely known, like How I Met Your Mother and 90210, but I also watch some shows that, when mentioned, receive either a befuddled look or an eye-roll (the latter is very mean and not appreciated).
I am going to name some of my favourite underrated TV shows in a (very consolidated) list now so that if someone mentions them to you, you will be able to feign interest and your friend will love you forever.
Please try to keep all eye-rolling to a minimum.
1) The Middle
This is my new obsession, some might say I have a problem but I think it will pass.
I think the main reason for my infatuation with this show is that all the characters are so likeable, it is funny but in a really endearing way. I can't describe why I love this show, you just need to watch it.
Another reason I love The Middle is that they continue storylines, even though it is just a Sitcom- episodes are connected, for example in this week's episode there was a plotline that was actually a continuation of something that happened a whole season ago.
It is currently midway through its 4th season and I don't think you need to watch every episode to enjoy it (even though I have... in 5 days...), pick one, watch it, love it, join the club!2) New Girl
All my friends that watch it love it and so do I. It is laugh-out-loud funny, which is hard to find in shows sometimes.
All of her room-mates are brilliant (my favourite is Winston FYI) and there is a character that loves to take his shirt off! What more could you want from a television program?
Warning: Once you watch this, you will be quoting the witty one-liners for the rest of your life.
3) Teen Wolf
This show isn't unknown per say as it is a recreation of an 80s movie, it's just not as popular as some other shows. No, "friends", it is not lame, it is great.
Not only are most of the characters super hot but they all have great storylines and substance. For me it is very important for characters to have credible lives (let's ignore the whole were-wolf thing for now...) and these guys do. There is also a brilliant amount of bromances in this show, plus the hot girl that all the guys want is ginger, what's not to like?
The show will start its 3rd season in the Summer, better start catching up now!
4) Call the Midwife
This show was greatly anticipated in the Britain that is Great because it has the ever-wonderful Miranda Hart in it, however she didn't actually make an appearance until the second episode so I don't think people continued watching it after the first episode cause Miranda wasn't in it. This is a massive shame because it's actually a really great show, I find it really interesting as it is a period drama set in East London in the 1950s; I enjoy seeing how all the parents just casually left their kids out in the streets and how the midwives cycled to the houses of the mothers in labour like it's not a pressing matter.
I believe that there is a second season coming in 2013 (if we're all alive by then...) but for now, there's the Christmas episode coming! See Lucy's post from yesterday for details.
I should re-mention that the above list is an very shortened version of the list I compiled on my phone. Extremely shortened.
I highly recommend watching the above shows, unless you care about your education, in which case, just pick one (Call the Midwife has taught me a lot of Biological facts, Teen Wolf is often talking about Historical stuff).
