6 Binge Worthy TV Series that I Could Watch Over and Over
09:16:00
For me, watching TV shows trumps watching movies. I like building up an attachment with the main characters and of course it leaves me devastated (melodramatic much?) once the show ends. Sniff. To be honest, it’s a little difficult to keep up with the shows when you’re working full time. BUT. When you’re on holidays… Hallelujah!! I think I have made it in time for people to catch at least one of the shows I’ve listed below during the Eid holidays and if not then the winter holidays coming very very soon (only three months away, no big deal)! Alright so the following are my all-time favourite family drama (I am a BIG sucker for those), romance and comedy TV shows that I honestly could watch over and over again! And I’m sure that most people must have seen these, but those who haven’t, please get your hands on them ASAP!
1. Friends
1994-2004
Genre: Comedy,
Romance
IMDB rating:
9.0/10
I really do hope
that no one needs an introduction to Friends. But if you do (which means you’ve
really missed out on the world’s BEST TV show): this series follows the lives of
six 20-something friends living in Manhattan. Joey, Chandler, Rachel, Ross, Monica
and Phoebe are the poster group for what youngsters today would refer to as:
#SquadGoals. With their extremely relatable dilemmas and life’s ups and downs
and the constant humour that they create (consciously and unconsciously), the
group’s comradery is indeed ideal. Oh what I would give to have this show
restart! Sadly though, I don’t think that’s happening which is why I think my
count of personal reruns for this one has crossed 10!! *guilty as charged*
2. Brothers and Sisters
2006-2011
Genre: Drama
IMDB rating:
7.3/10
Seasons: 5
This one is all
about the drama that revolves around the Walker family in California that
includes all adult siblings and a mother. This series really has everything
under one umbrella: relationships, politics, illnesses, business empires and death,
you name it! And if you’re like me and love family drama, you’re going to have
to keep the tissue boxes ready. What I absolutely loved the most was no matter
what, the family always stuck together, even in the trickiest situations! I
really really believe that 5 seasons were just NOT enough to do justice to
Brothers & Sisters and I felt completely alone (more melodrama) after it
ended; I was actually sad for days. This is perfect for binge watching with
your besties or sisters!
3. Grey’s Anatomy
2005- Ongoing
Genre: Drama,
Romance
IMDB rating: 7.7/10
Seasons: 12 (so
far)
I think Grey’s
Anatomy is also one of those shows that does not need any introduction. This one
revolves around the fictional lives of doctors, surgical interns and residents
set in Seattle’s Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital (formerly Seattle Grace-Mercy
West). Every episode brings one or multiple medical cases along with the main
characters juggling their personal lives alongside their duties. Meredith Grey
is the central character of the entire story but personally she’s one of my
least favourites. My favourite are Christina, Alex, Derek (Mc Dreamy) and
Jackson Avery. Grey’s Anatomy is known for having the most nail-biting finales
every season that leave the audience at the edge of their seats. The best part is,
this show is still airing and Season 13 begins late September!
4. Gilmore Girls
2000-2007
Genre: Drama,
Comedy
IMDB rating:
8.1/10
Seasons: 7
This one is just
one of the sweetest shows I have ever seen. Revolving around Lorelai Gilmore, a
single mother in her thirties and Rory Gilmore, her teenage daughter and their
life in Star Hollows, Connecticut. Gilmore Girls was recommended to me by my
best friend and I can’t thank her enough for it. Lauran Graham has to be one of
my all-time favourite actors. She does supreme justice to her role: slightly
crazy yet a very good mother who goes above and beyond to provide Rory with
everything that she needs. This show is very close to my heart since it depicts
the mother daughter relationship so aptly. Talks of a revival in the shape of a
miniseries has got me super excited!! Can’t wait!
5. Parenthood
2010-2015
Genre: Drama,
Comedy
IMDB rating:
8.1/10
Seasons: 6
Parenthood is the
closest that I got to a Brothers & Sisters like series. And I was NOT
disappointed at all. This one explores the life and tales of the Braverman
family based in California. The show not only looks into the lives of the
Braverman parents and their parenthood but also in the lives of their four
children being parents themselves. Lauran Graham (of Gilmore Girls) is a
central character as Sarah Braverman and yet again, she proves to be
spectactular; as the rest of the cast. Adam Braverman, however, has to be my
favourite because of the way he keeps everyone together like glue. Very
relatable and heart-warming, I was heartbroken when Parenthood ended also
(these tear jerkers are my weakness).
6. Modern Family
2009- Ongoing
Genre: Comedy,
Romance
IMDB rating:
8.5/10
Seasons: 7 (so
far)
One word for
Modern Family: AMAZING. This one looks into the lives of three different but
related families and how they handle life and its trials in their own special
comic way. I guarantee that every episode will leave you in fits. All the
characters in Modern Family are exceptional, from Phil Dunphy to Jay Pritchett,
each one will amuse you immensely. My favourites, however, are Gloria played by
Sofia Vergara and Cameron played by Eric Stonestreet. I’m sure you must have
guessed that this one also revolves around familial ties which makes it even
more special. Perfect for watching with the whole family. So excited for season
8 starting this September!!
