I know it's already Saturday but I was so busy (Honestly? More like I didn't have the drive) I couldn't do this prompt earlier. But I really wanted to because I'm a TV junkie! So here are ten favorite shows of mine (I tried to promote not-so-popular ones?)! (Not included are Asian dramas because that's gonna be so difficult to do HAHA) This is in no particular order but I will dividing them into two categories: the 20-minute shows and the 40-minute shows. In no particular order as always! And I suck at categorizing into genres so I just put what Wikipedia says.
For My Short Attention Span
Scrotal Recall (genre: rom-com)
This gem is only six episodes long so if you have three hours to spare, please PLEASE get on it. It's on Netflix! Anyway, I discovered this show from Elena's newsletter (I will always miss her blog Novel Sounds) and THIS. SHOW. It's just so full of heart and some crude jokes as well, I mean, look at the title. But I promise, despite the title, it's not that kind of comedy (although I do dig that kind of comedy as well). So plot! Dylan gets chlamydia and now he has to contact all his previous sexual partners to get them to test as well and we recall one girl in every episode. THE FEELINGS THIS SHOW EXTRACTED OUT OF ME, YOU GUYS. THE FEELS. I rewatch it a great amount and still, FEELINGS. It's just so sad it looks like it's not gonna be renewed.
OH MY GOD IT'S GONNA BE RENEWED THERE'S GONNA BE A SECOND SEASON THIS NOVEMBER OHMYGOD THANK YOU, NETFLIX!!!!!!!!!!!1111 And the title was changed to Lovesick so be sure to check that one out. OHMYGOD I'M SO HAPPY AFTER TWO YEARS
You're the Worst (genre: comedy-drama)
There was no way You're the Worst wasn't gonna make this list. Sure, it's a rom-com and we've seen that way too many times (but I can watch it forever) but one with such horrible and mean characters as the protagonists? I've never seen that yet and that's why I'm all aboard this one. These characters lie constantly and are brutally honest to the point of assholery but who doesn't want to be like them, being able to say what you're really thinking? And despite them being horrible people, you root for them because they're very human and vulnerable too. JUST WATCH THIS ONE, PEOPLE.
Silicon Valley (genre: comedy)
To the show that saved me from being depressed earlier this year, I love you. You might be repetitive plotwise but I love your characters and your crude jokes and how you make me laugh I sometimes cry. Thank you for being there. I mean, I always love a misfits-get-together-to-achieve-a-goal-while-shenanigans-happen kind of show but make these misfits programmers and geeks and nerds and I'm all aboard. Jared bb, you'll always be my favorite and the one that makes me laugh the most. I mean, just watch "tip-to-tip efficiency" on Youtube. If you like it, you'll like this show. HAHAHA
I Just Want My Pants Back (genre: comedy-drama)
This show was cancelled and it's such a shame. It was an MTV sitcom back in 2011 that completely got me: music tastes, crude humor, quarter life crisis, hipsters in Brooklyn being broke and making bad decisions. It was MY show. I watched this show with my guy BFF and another friend and it felt like we were the only people watching this show. It's the reason why I love Peter Vack so much despite him being my least favorite character in here. I'm loyal. So if this is something you think you might like, please give it a chance! Then talk to me so I can have someone to talk to about this show. HAHA
Modern Family / The Office / Broad City / Brooklyn Nine-Nine / Happy Endings
I can't choose for my fifth 20-minute show sorry HAHAHAHA What? I love my sitcoms!
