I know it's currently the 'June School Holidays' here in Singapore so I thought some of you might be looking for a new tv series to watch when you have time to kill. I'll be giving recommendations and my thoughts on my current favorite tv series and some which I've already completed till the latest episode. Most of which would be either British or US tv series (which I'm undeniably obsessed with). So, let's get into it!
Oh and one very exciting thing to update is that your girl here has finally got her driver's license!! After countless trips to the driving centre and the nerves and the trauma, I'm glad to say I'm officially a license holder (yippie)!!
First on the list, would be my very first American tv series, The Vampire Diaries.
I started the this in either 2013 or 2014 when my friend Amanda recommended it to me and I've been watching ever since. Now now, I know what some of you might be thinking, gosh it must be another twilight vampire and wolves sorta thing. But no, not gonna lie, but that was my initial thought when I heard the name of the series too. It really isn't. So some background to this series: It's about this teenage girl Elena Gilbert who falls deeply in love with a 162-year-old vampire named Stefan Salvatore and their relationship starts becoming increasingly complicated with Stefan's older brother Damon appearing and realizing that Elena resembles their past love Katherine Pierce in which Damon starts falling for Elena too. Slowly, Elena unravels the secrets of the town she lives in, Mystic Falls and the story continues. Don't be too quick to judge the name of the series and give it a shot. I promise it'll be worth it!
Black Mirror
Black Mirror is a British tv series which I highly recommend. Every episode is a stand alone story with a whole new cast and a totally different story. It is filled with thrills, suspense and is oh so interesting. I was hooked on this series and I might or might not have binged watched my way through 3 seasons. And I already can't wait for the next season to premiere.
Big Little Lies
Big Little Lies (based on a best selling novel) is a HBO mini series consisting of only 7 episodes which I indeed binged through. It starts with letting you know that there was someone dead, and you will not know who, how or why until you've reached the end of the 7 episodes and goes through showing fractured relationships between husbands and wives, children, friends and neighbors and is told through the eyes of 3 mothers. I really hope that season 2 is in the making, that's how much I enjoyed this series.
The Handmaid's Tale
The Handmaid's Tale was based on a best selling novel. It takes place in the future and the women in America have completely lost their rights. Women were sectioned into different categories such as, aunts, handmaids wives. However this follows the story of a handmaid named Offred. A handmaid is something like a concubine and she has to have sex with the commander every month on 'ceremony day' while the wife is there watching the whole thing. Its quite a freaky transaction and its the best solution they came up with because of the declining birth rates. Its super interesting and everyone should totally watch it.
Okay I have recommended a few of my favorite tv series and I hope this helps anyone of you who is struggling to find something to watch! If you have any favorite tv shows you'd want me to watch, do let me know!!
Till next time!
