Breaking Bad (2008)
Amazing show but slightly overrated
I love Breaking Bad but honestly it is a bit over hyped. For my liking it's one of my favorite shows ever but I would have never expected it to have such an amazing rating. 8.5 IMDb rating sure but 9.4 is surprising. There are way too many filler episodes that build up for some epic craziness in the episodes following so you have to get through them. Also, I would have thought the acting, which I think is amazing, would hurt the shows rating. The actors play the characters so realistically that it might be mistaken for bad acting, especially Bryant Cranston playing Walter White. In real life, people in tough situations people tend to struggle with decision making. I believe that people who don't like this show, which I thought would be a greater number, don't understand that we are watching the characters from 3rd perspective. For us observing the events, it seems so obvious to how the characters should react, but put yourself in one of the characters shoes, lets say Walter's wife Skylar, and you would react SO SO similarly to how she did/does. The story line progresses so much throughout the seasons that it's hard to believe where it started. The build up to the main episodes is so great that it gets pretty predictable to what is the big thing that is suppose to happen but these main events are so crazy that even when we know what's going to happen, they are still surprising. If that even makes sense. You have to watch the show to understand what I am talking about. I highly recommend Breaking Bad. Try taking into consideration what I mentioned above when watching and you will be one of those people that understands the show and wont be skeptical of it.
The League (2009)
Funniest show out there!!!
I have to admit that if you are a serious person and don't have your own set of inside jokes among your friends then this show is not for you. The League has some of the most memorable terms of any show I ever watched. You don't have to know anything about football to enjoy the show but if you are a big fantasy football fan like I am then this show will be even funnier and make even more sense to you. It's obvious to tell that a lot of the dialog is improvised and very natural. I can basically see myself doing some of the things they do in the show for my love of fantasy football, but yes of course some of the stuff they do is way too crazy, but it is a show after all. It gives a perfect blend of over the top humor, with how fantasy football fans conduct themselves during the season. MUST WATCH show. Never had I laughed so hard, especially seasons 3 and 4. Starting season 3 the jokes are amped up even more and are simply amazing. I can't wait for season 5 to start.
Hannibal (2013)
Creepy
This show is definitely thrilling but is also very creepy. I was only able to watch the first four episodes even though I kind of enjoyed them. I just had a feeling it would only get "darker" as it progressed and decided to stop watching it. I would definitely recommend this show to people with a strong gut. The actors are great in their roles and the plot unravels pretty quickly, but definitely has the creepiest vibe of any show on TV. I don't know how long this show could keep going though because of people like me who are scared to get creeped out even further. Also, it is much better to watch this show if you have seen Silence of the Lambs previously.
Person of Interest (2011)
Best show ever created!
Person of Interest probably has the most interesting sub-plots of any show ever created. It's able to bring multiple stories into the picture while focusing on the "main" theme of stopping crimes before they happen. You can't just watch the first episode or even the first 5-10 episodes and judge this show. That's the beauty of it. The ideas keep growing and more sub-plots are developed. To think of where the show started and where it is at now is crazy, the ideas developed beautifully. I wish everybody in the world would watch every episode of this show and see how amazingly it progresses, but I guess we are living in a period of short attention spans and when "giving up" is the norm. The only reason this show doesn't have a 8.8-9.5 rating here is because of the people who watched only the pilot and gave a bad rate. Don't be one of those people, and watch it all the way through and you will not regret it.
