Mr. Robot

Elliot Alderson is a cyber security engineer by day and a vigilant hacker by night. He has social anxiety.  Elliot's dad is dead because of the radiation on the company he worked for but Elliot couldn't prove that. E corp is the largest conglomerate in the world " A perfect monster for modern society. " Later on this company will get hacked and this is where the story began. What I mostly liked about this show is that Elliot is always talking to an imaginary person ( us the viewers ) so you will always feel like you're a part of the show. I tried watching this show last year and I gave up after 2 episodes. I found it so boring and I wasn't understanding anything. Then this year I heard a lot of reviews about it so I gave it another try and I loved it. The problem was that while watching the first episode for the first time I wasn't paying attention a lot so I missed a bunch of stuff. The second time I was full focused so I enjoyed the first episode ...

Van Helsing

Vanessa Helsing wakes up from a coma to find that she's stuck in a vampires apocalypse and her blood is the cure . She lost her daughter and she's going to search for her with the help of other survivors. I finished season one and I can't wait for season two. The first episode started with Vanessa lying on a bed in an abandoned hospital and suddenly 3 vampires attacked her. One of them bit her and then started to vomit blood and then started turning human again. Cool. This is something new never saw it before. Despite all the negative reviews and everyone who's saying that this show is cliche, it's not. I totally enjoyed it. There's a lot of cool characters in this show. For example, Axel Miller. He's that character who sounds means but all he wants to do is protect everyone especially Vanessa. I ship them . He's a smart character and ready for any threat. There's some characters too who will betray anyone to save their asses. I hate them . ...

Zoo

Violent animal attacks upon humans are occurring all over the world. Jackson Oz, an American zoologist who offers safaris in Africa, begins to notice the animals' strange behavior and takes it upon himself to solve the reason why before these attacks become more coordinated and ferocious. This show has 3 seasons already. The second season is my favorite. It's based on the book " Zoo " by  James Patterson . It's a cool show because you will see a lot of animals mutations. It's filmed in more than 1 country. The characters are good. My favorites are Mitch Morgan, a veterinary Pathologist & professor at UCLA and Jamie Campbell, a journalist. I wasn't interested a lot in the show when I started it because it was a bit slow. I'm glad that I didn't stop it and gave it a chance because later on it turned good. It has some good plot twists especially in the last scene of season 2 and some scenes in season 3. So what I'm trying to say is don...

Salvation

An MIT grad student and a tech superstar bring a low-level Pentagon official a staggering discovery--that an asteroid is just six months away from colliding with Earth. I just finished watching season one. It was really good. It was slow at first then it turned well. The characters are lovable. I ship Darius and Grace. Team Darius no matter what. He's the best. There's a scene in the finale episode that broke me into thousand pieces. I really hope that they will renew it because it deserves that and we deserve more scenes of Darius and Grace lol. You should really give it a try because you will fall in love with Darius. Here's a trailer for season one :

The Sinner

Follows the story of a young woman who commits horrific acts of violence and rage, and to her surprise, has no idea why. And the investigator who becomes obsessed with the case and is determined to dig into her past and figure out "why" this is happening.  I just finished watching season one and it was phenomenal. I loved it! The story was confusing at first because nothing was clear but after every episode we get a little clue so the story starts getting clearer. The last two episodes were amazing! Loved that twist. It was so good and not expected. It's a really good show I hope they will renew it for a second season. You should all watch it! Here's a trailer for season one :

Somewhere Between

  A mother tries to change the fate of her 8 year old daughter, as she knows where, when and how she's murdered, but doesn't know who kills her and why.  Please ignore all the negative reviews about this show because it's so good. I just finished watching season one and I loved it! Hope it get renewed for a second season. I really don't know why almost everyone hated this show. The story is cool. I think the acting could have been a little better but overall it was good. I ship Laura and Nico. They would be a really cute couple. The last episode was so satisfying. There's only one thing I didn't understand completely. I don't know if I missed it or they didn't answer it yet. I will read some articles online. I have a feeling that they will cancel it because of the low rating but let's hope they won't because it doesn't deserve that. Here's a trailer for season one :

Westworld

Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, explore a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged without consequence. I think this is the most complicated show ever!  I can't express how amazing this show is. You will be confused till the last episode but don't give up because everything will come clear in the last episode. If you ever feel like not following the story anymore just open google and read some explanations about the episodes you already watched. It helps a lot. I just can't wait for season two. Season one left me speechless. Give it a try! ( It's 18+ ) Here's a trailer for season one :

Wayward Pines

A Secret Service agent goes to Wayward Pines, Idaho, in search of two federal agents who have gone missing in the bucolic town. He soon learns that he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive. I first thought that this a crime/mystery show but it turned out to be about technology and cannibals, which is cool! It's a bit slow but it's good. It doesn't have a cliche story that's why I kept watching it. You can give it a try because it's not that bad/ Here's a trailer for season one :

Vikings

  The world of the Vikings is brought to life through the journey of Ragnar Lothbrok, the first Viking to emerge from Norse legend and onto the pages of history - a man on the edge of myth. Wow. This is a really good show. If you're a fan of  Game Of Thrones  you will totally love Vikings. Ragnar and Lagertha are soooo lovable. They're the best. I love them. This show has already 4 seasons and it's renewed for a fifth one. I enjoyed every episode of it. Not a waste of time at all. Go give it a try! Here's a trailer for season one :

Top Of The Lake

  Obsessed with the disappearance of a 12-year-old pregnant girl near a freezing lake in New Zealand, a brave detective will find herself up against small-town secrets and a side of herself that was meticulously kept at bay.  This show has two seasons. The second season was better than the first one. I didn't have high hopes for this one but it turned out to be a good show. I enjoyed it. Here's a trailer for season one :

This Is Us

  Follows a unique ensemble, as their paths cross and their life stories interwine, from sharing the same birthday, to so much more than anyone would expect.  Wow Wow Wow Wow what a show!!! I wish I have watched this long time ago because it's soooo good! The story is so emotional and touching. All the characters are lovable. Every single detail about this show is perfect. Gladly they renewed it for a second season and I can't wait to start it! Go watch the first season now. I mean it. Just now after reading this. YOU WON'T REGRET IT! Here's a trailer for season one :

The Shanna Chronicles

  An Elvish tree, known as the Ellcrys, is dying. The bad news is that the tree has been the only piece of magic that protects the Four Lands from the Demon World. Amberle Elessedil is the only one who can save the tree. But she has to unlock magic that the Elves haven't used in thousands of years. With the help of Wil Ohmsford, she travels to find the lost magic. But it won't be an easy task.  Another " not to miss " show. I didn't expect it to be that good. It's really cool with some plot twists. The characters are lovable.  It's renewed for a second season! Here's a trailer for season one :

The Mist

  After an eerie mist rolls into a small town, the residents must battle the mysterious mist and its threats, fighting to maintain their morality and sanity.  I didn't like it. It's too boring for a series. It should only be a movie nothing more. Here's a trailer for season one :  Update :  It got cancelled after 1 season.

The Handmaid's Tale

  A religion-based autocracy has taken over most of the United States, renaming the country Gilead. In this country women are second-class citizens. Anyone trying to escape is punished. One such person is June, who is captured while trying to escape with her husband and child and is sentenced to be a handmaid, bearing children for childless government officials. As a handmaid, June is renamed Offred. This is her story. One of the best shows ever. It's so emotional. The acting is amazing. I never expected to love this show this much. I just wish I have read the book before watching it. This show has some sick characters who will make you so angry. They pissed me off a lot lol. You should watch this show ASAP. The last episode of season one was one best episodes in the history of TV shows. Yes, it was that good. Here's a trailer for season one :

The Good Place

The Good Place is a town where those who have been good throughout their lives go once they have passed away. Michael is the architect who oversees the town. Eleanor  arrives at the Good Place and realizes she doesn't deserve to be there. With the help of Chidi , Eleanor tries to right her wrongs seeking to finally earn her spot in the Good Place.  Drop everything you're doing and go watch this show. One season for now, 13 episodes, around 25 mins each. The idea of this show is so unique I loved it! It has his funny moments.  Don't give up from the first two episodes just continue watching it because it gets better. Be careful there's a HUGE plot twist at the end. Enjoy it! Here's a trailer for season one : 

The 100

Set 97 years after a nuclear war has destroyed civilization, when a spaceship housing humanity's lone survivors sends 100 juvenile delinquents back to Earth in hopes of possibly re-populating the planet. This show has 4 seasons and it's renewed for a fifth one. This is one of the best shows ever. Each season is better than the previous one. You might notice that the rating decreased in season three ( because they killed some main characters ) but for me it was really good. So don't let the rating gives you second thoughts about starting this show. There's a mix of good and bad characters. Everything is perfect about this show. You should watch it ASAP. It's really great. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Here's a trailer for season one :

Taken

As former CIA agent Bryan Mills deals with a personal tragedy that shakes his world, he fights to overcome the incident and exact revenge.  This is a cool show. You can watch it in your free time. Not a must watch show though but it's good.  Here's a trailer for season one :

Stranger Things

When a young boy disappears, his mother, a police chief, and his friends must confront terrifying forces in order to get him back.  Thank you Netflix for another great show. I binge watched it because it was a hell of a show. Wow. Never expected a show full of kids to be that good. Everything is perfect : story, characters, acting... I don't know what you're waiting for to start this show. Go watch it now. Can't wait for season two! Here's a trailer for season one :

Shooter

  A conspiracy thriller that follows the journey of Bob Lee Swagger, a highly-decorated veteran who is coaxed back into action to prevent a plot to kill the President. I binge watched the first season because it was amazing. This show is full of action with a great story. The characters are lovable especially Bob Lee Swagger and the acting as well. Second season was supposed to have 10 episodes but they only filmed 8 because  Ryan Phillipe  broke his leg. Hope he will get better. Let's hope they will renew it for a third season because it totally deserves it.  This is one of the " do not miss " shows. You should give it a try. Here's a trailer for season one :

Shaowhunters: The Mortal Instruments

  Clary Fray is a normal teenager living in Brooklyn with her mother. One day, she discovers that she is descended from a line of Shadowhunters; humans born with angelic blood that fight to protect our world from demons. After her mother is kidnapped, Clary must team up with three Shadowhunters: Jace, Alec and Isabelle and her best friend Simon on a quest to find her mother and recover her past. The main reason I didn't like this show is that I'm a book fan and they changed the story a lot. They actually ruined it.  The main reason I'm continuing this show is curiosity. My favorite characters from the show/books are Alec, Simon and Isabelle. You should read the books instead of watching it. Here's a trailer for season one :
