Tv series for the struggling enthusiast

Enjoy gripping narratives, beautifully constructed characters and intricate plotlines in a Tv show no one should be without. It is one of those shows you wish you could relive. Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past Westworld explores a world in which every human appetite no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged.

By far one of the most original and unappreciated shows out there with an incredible soundtrack from Cristobal Tapia de Veer. When five strangers from an online comic book forum agree to meet after gaining possession of the original manuscript for the cult graphic novel 'The Utopia Experiments', they find themselves pursued by a shadowy organisation known as The Network. A relatively unknown cast even now, but that makes for a more authentic experience.

More than anything, Charlie Brooker is what makes this show as good as it is, even now I find myself rewatching episodes to sit in awe of its brilliance. Each story is in turn, disarming, suspenseful and darkly satirical, tapping into our collective unease with the modern world. Each stand-alone episode a sharp, suspenseful tale exploring themes of contemporary techno-paranoia.

To me, Saga Norèn is one of those characters that you instantly love even though she comes across lacking in social skills, insensitive and blunt. Saga and Martin Rohde are everything you could ask for in a team of detectives and nothing comes close to their chemistry. When a body is found on the bridge between Denmark and Sweden, right on the border, Danish inspector Martin Rohde and Swedish Saga Norén have to share jurisdiction and work together to find the killer.

Handmaids tale stands as one of the most thought-provoking, brutally devastating shows out there. Elisabeth Moss is incredible in it and even though it slightly differs from the book they have done it more than justice. Handmaids Tale follows June who is forced to live as a concubine under a fundamentalist theocratic dictatorship. Separated from her family and subjected to tortuous norms June seeks freedom and change.
