Personal favorite Series
I've wondered which series I liked the best, so I thought this would be a good way to find out ;D
This was way harder than I had expected. I mixed 50m series, sitcoms and animes.
I tried to put it in order of how much I enjoyed the series, and not exactly the "quality" of the series.
I can recommend these series (as long as you like that kind).
I am well aware that there are many great series that aren't on this list. But I could only list series I have either watched all episodes, or am currently watching.
Give me your feedback, and if you know any other series you recommend please let me know!

- CreatorDan HarmonJustin RoilandStarsChris ParnellSpencer GrammerSarah ChalkeThe fractured domestic lives of a nihilistic mad scientist and his anxious grandson are further complicated by their inter-dimensional misadventures.I can´t stop rewatching this show. For those who dont know Rick and Morty and expect another typical cartoon, should really give this show a try.
- CreatorVince GilliganStarsBryan CranstonAaron PaulAnna GunnA chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student in order to secure his family's future.This is another great example of the quality of the series that came out these past couple of years.
I wouldn't have guessed that watching the evolution of a good man become bad would be this much fun.
Great cast and captivating story.
I hate spoilers so I'm not giving info about this show. Go watch it! - CreatorCharlie BrookerStarsWunmi MosakuMonica DolanDaniel LapaineFeaturing stand-alone dramas -- sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales that explore techno-paranoia -- "Black Mirror" is a contemporary reworking of "The Twilight Zone" with stories that tap into the collective unease about the modern world.This show feels more like a mini-movie collection. Some episodes are better than others since the episodes follow different characters and stories. Still a great show worthy of watching more than once.
- CreatorDavid BenioffD.B. WeissStarsEmilia ClarkePeter DinklageKit HaringtonNine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.You have probably heard about it, and if you already seen it, you know how good it is.
If you haven't seen it, then what are you waiting for?
Even if you don't like the type of medieval movies/series Game of thrones really stands out.
Good actors, great story, unpredictable plot and overall great fun. - CreatorLisa JoyJonathan NolanStarsEvan Rachel WoodJeffrey WrightEd HarrisAt the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, waits a world in which every human appetite can be indulged without consequence.This show surprised me by having a great original story and an amazing cast.
- CreatorJoe PenhallStarsJonathan GroffHolt McCallanyAnna TorvIn the late 1970s, two FBI agents broaden the realm of criminal science by investigating the psychology behind murder and end up getting too close to real-life monsters.I wish more shows (and movies) would have the quality of this show. Who coined the term "serial-killer"? Watch this show and find out.
- CreatorAaron KorshStarsGabriel MachtPatrick J. AdamsMeghan MarkleOn the run from a drug deal gone bad, brilliant college dropout Mike Ross finds himself working with Harvey Specter, one of New York City's best lawyers.What a great surprise this show was!
This show is about one of New yorks top law agencies.
Good chemistry between characters, witty lines, a bit of drama and a bit of comedy. Very enjoyable. - CreatorMatt DufferRoss DufferStarsMillie Bobby BrownFinn WolfhardWinona RyderWhen a young boy vanishes, a small town uncovers a mystery involving secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one strange little girl.If you dont know Stranger Things by now, then you are living under a rock. Get out.
- CreatorNic PizzolattoIssa LópezStarsVince VaughnColin FarrellRachel McAdamsAnthology series in which police investigations unearth the personal and professional secrets of those involved, both within and outside the law.
- CreatorRob McElhenneyGlenn HowertonStarsCharlie DayGlenn HowertonRob McElhenneyFive friends with big egos and small brains are the proprietors of an Irish pub in Philadelphia.Talk about an unpredictable show. There are less and less shows that make me laugh until I cry, this is one of the few that does.
Watch 4 episodes, and you will be hooked. - CreatorSteven LevitanChristopher LloydStarsEd O'NeillSofía VergaraJulie BowenThree different, but related, families face trials and tribulations in their own uniquely comedic ways.Easy to watch and fun. You have probably watched it.
- CreatorMichael HirstStarsKatheryn WinnickGustaf SkarsgårdAlexander LudwigVikings transports us to the brutal and mysterious world of Ragnar Lothbrok, a Viking warrior and farmer who yearns to explore--and raid--the distant shores across the ocean.
- CreatorPaul AbbottJohn WellsStarsEmmy RossumWilliam H. MacyEthan CutkoskyA scrappy, feisty, fiercely loyal Chicago family makes no apologies.Nobody shows how poor side of Chicago better than this show.
- CreatorGreg DanielsMichael SchurStarsAmy PoehlerJim O'HeirNick OffermanThe absurd antics of an Indiana town's public officials as they pursue sundry projects to make their city a better place.
- CreatorAlex GansaHoward GordonStarsClaire DanesMandy PatinkinDamian LewisA bipolar CIA operative becomes convinced a prisoner of war has been turned by al-Qaeda and is planning to carry out a terrorist attack on American soil.If you like movies about the CIA or spies, this is the series to watch.
In one sentence, Homeland is based on the fight against terrorists. Without telling much about this series I can really recommend watching it. - CreatorLaeta KalogridisStarsChris ConnerRenée Elise GoldsberryDichen LachmanSet in a future where consciousness is digitized and stored, a prisoner returns to life in a new body and must solve a mind-bending murder to win his freedom.
- CreatorDavid CraneMarta KauffmanStarsJennifer AnistonCourteney CoxLisa KudrowFollows the personal and professional lives of six twenty to thirty year-old friends living in the Manhattan borough of New York City.No matter how many times i watch Friends, I always find myself smiling and laughing throughout the whole series. There is no other sitcom that gives me that nostalgic good-feeling like this show does.
- CreatorJames Manos Jr.StarsMichael C. HallJennifer CarpenterDavid ZayasHe's smart. He's lovable. He's Dexter Morgan, America's favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and nights committing them.Hats off to the writers of Dexter. Dexter is this creepy blood spatter analyst who lives a double life.
During the "day" he works for the police department in Miami, but by "night" he is an unstoppable killer who can never find satisfaction.
This is possibly the only series where I root for the killer/psychopath. You almost feel guilty for liking the main character. - CreatorTerence WinterStarsSteve BuscemiKelly MacdonaldMichael ShannonAn Atlantic City politician plays both sides of the law by conspiring with gangsters during the Prohibition era.This is one of those shows I would't recommend to anyone. This is for those who like slower shows, or those like Sopranos (even though I haven't watched Sopranos). Watching one episode of Boardwalk Empire is like watching a full-length mafia movie.
- StarsJessica BardenAlex LawtherSteve OramJames is 17 and is pretty sure he is a psychopath. Alyssa, also 17, is the cool and moody new girl at school. The pair make a connection and she persuades him to embark on a road trip in search of her real father.
- CreatorDan FogelmanStarsMilo VentimigliaMandy MooreSterling K. BrownA heartwarming and emotional story about a unique set of triplets, their struggles, and their wonderful parents.If you dont like crying at movies/shows, do not watch this show. If you enjoy a deep and meaningful story, watch it.
- CreatorFrank DarabontStarsAndrew LincolnNorman ReedusMelissa McBrideSheriff Deputy Rick Grimes wakes up from a coma to learn the world is in ruins and must lead a group of survivors to stay alive.Even if you are tired of watching zombie movies/series, Walking dead is a breath of fresh air inside this genre.
Unlike other zombie related movies, the Walking Dead is creepy and exciting. Not to mention that this series has the best make-up crew ever. - StarsYûto NakanoTravis WillinghamKôjun ItôGinko is an expert travelling around to investigate a primeval life-form, the "Mushi," and helping people with Mushi-related supernatural problems.There is no other no other anime like mushishi. Even though there were a couple of sad endinds, I always got that warm fuzzy feeling from the metaphorical message on each episode.
If you like anime, give this show a chance! - CreatorCarlo BernardChris BrancatoDoug MiroStarsPedro PascalWagner MouraBoyd HolbrookA chronicled look at the criminal exploits of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, as well as the many other drug kingpins who plagued the country through the years.Plata o plomo. Malparido
- CreatorTom KapinosStarsDavid DuchovnyNatascha McElhoneEvan HandlerA writer tries to juggle his career, his relationship with his daughter and his ex-girlfriend, as well as his appetite for beautiful women.Many compare this show to Entourage because both give you a slight taste of Hollywood behind the curtains. But the main reason why I enjoyed this show a bit more than Entourage is the characters/actors.
The story isn't as shallow as Entourage, and even though I love both shows, Californication delivers more depth and character realism. (Did that make any sense?) - CreatorDavid E. KelleyStarsReese WitherspoonNicole KidmanShailene WoodleyThe apparently-perfect lives of upper-class mothers of students at a prestigious elementary school unravel to the point of murder when a single mother moves to their quaint California beach town.
- CreatorShin'ichirô WatanabeStarsKazuya NakaiGinpei SatoAyako KawasumiFuu, a waitress who works in a teahouse, rescues two master swordsmen, Mugen and Jin, from their execution to help her find the "samurai who smells of sunflowers."If you mix awesome fights, samurais, japanese culture, beatboxing, hip hop and ninjas, you get Samurai champloo.
I even recommend to non-anime-lovers. Yeah, its that good. - CreatorJohn FuscoStarsLorenzo RichelmyBenedict WongJoan ChenIn a world replete with greed, betrayal, sexual intrigue and rivalry, "Marco Polo" is based on the famed explorer's adventures in Kublai Khan's court in 13th century Mongolia.
- CreatorDoug EllinStarsKevin ConnollyAdrian GrenierKevin DillonFilm star, Vince Chase, navigates the vapid terrain of Los Angeles with a close circle of friends and his trusty agent.I had really low expectations when I first watched this show, but after 4 or 5 episodes I understood why this show is so popular. With the likes of Johnny Drama and Ari Gold this show is very enjoyable. On the other hand, if this show didn't have these characters, it would probably lose half the fanbase it has. It would lose me at least.
- StarsDoc HarrisChristopher SabatScott McNeilWith the help of the powerful Dragonballs, a team of fighters led by the saiyan warrior Goku defend the planet earth from extraterrestrial enemies.A list without Dragon Ball Z isn't a list, specially if you grew up in southern Europe.
Everyone went crazy whenever this show was on Tv. Even my teachers in school watched this show.
The show stars Goku, a boy alien from outer space with super strength and super powers. This boy ends up having to save the world a couple of times from evil doers or evil aliens. Dragon ball Z is a continuation of the original Dragon ball (where he starts off as a little kid). On Dragon ball Z he is already an adult with a son. This show goes on and on and you end up meeting the great grand children of Goku in the end. There are hundreds of episodes so you really have to invest yourself if you want to know the DBZ universe. I recommend watching the remake called Dragon Ball kai, less talk and more action. It missez the final chapter of DBZ but you can always watch the originals after the Cell fight. - CreatorBrad FalchukRyan MurphyHalley FeifferStarsLady GagaKathy BatesAngela BassettAn anthology series centering on different characters and locations, showcasing different aspects of horror.
- CreatorDavid ShoreStarsHugh LaurieOmar EppsRobert Sean LeonardUsing a crack team of doctors and his wits, an antisocial maverick doctor specializing in diagnostic medicine does whatever it takes to solve puzzling cases that come his way.House is the coolest doctor you will ever meet, but you would probably hate him in real life though.
Comedy, drama, tension, you name it. You will not feel bored watching an episode of House. And even though the other actors don't shine as brighly as Hugh Laurie (House), you will get to know them and like them. And if you don't like them, house make it worth it. - CreatorDan HarmonStarsJoel McHaleDanny PudiDonald GloverA suspended lawyer is forced to enroll in a community college with an eccentric staff and student body.
- StarsMakoto FurukawaKaito IshikawaMax MittelmanThe story of Saitama, a hero that does it just for fun & can defeat his enemies with a single punch.
