The Leftovers is a heavy-set, slow drama that does not give you any clearcut clues to where the story is heading. After the day of the Rapture – the sudden vanishing of 2% of the world population – the leftovers (in this case, the town of Mapleton) have to deal with their broken lives in uncertain times..The event has clearly had an impact on society and its religious beliefs – although the sudden vanishing is not perse biblical, the consequences are huge anyway . In short, the show paints a gloomy picture, featuring a beautiful soundtrack by Max Richter, that sets an atmospheric tone.

One of the most haunting, frightful and cinematographically beautiful series I have seen in a long time. The series serves as a prelude to the Hannibal films, starring Hugh Dancy as the gifted criminal investigator Will Graham and Mads Mikkelsen as the brilliant Lecter.

Whilst trying to solve crimes with Lecter at his side, Graham is steered into an psychological turmoil as he tries to get into the killer's mind. Lecter continuously seems to escape as a suspect, but is found out later by Graham. The series picks up bits and pieces from the storyline of Red Dragon, but introduces new character as wells, like Bedelia du Maurier (Gillian Anderson), Lecter's psychotherapist . Deserving of a revival!

Frightfully dark gothic period-series set in Victorian London. Good amount of scares in season 1, after a while the story becomes a bit forced introducing all the monsters. Eva Green is great tho!

Winston is the true star of this show.

'Mad Men' follows a Manhattan advertising firm and more precisely, Don Draper, one of the big shot account managers. Set in the early 60s, the series evokes everything of that atmosphere; the first big brands and ads, sexism in the office, heavy afternoon drinking (and smoking), the big hair and mod style. Ultimately, Don Draper is a tormented family man and goes through stormy relationships with the women in his life. However, in the end, our main man finds some peace of mind, as the series reach an ultimate cool conclusion — just in time for the hippy 70s.

The Sopranos is an epic drama revolving around Tony Soprano, a charismatic mob, his family and workfamily in New Jersey.

WestWorld is a wonderfully dark misguide all the way! Westworld is a fictionalised cowboy world where privileged visitors live out their wildest dreams. They live among hosts, 3d printed ai lifelike robots, that follow their set narrative in order to accommodate the visitors. However, there are some glitches in the system that allow some of the robots to have a sense of self and of previous memories. And it turns out that the creator of the park, wonderfully played by Anthony Hopkins is not a saint himself. MUST watch!

I don't get it.

I love this show for Tim Gunn's oracles and the final runway shows. There is usually some drama involved among the contestants, but every season has a few gems!

Fred, the maitre d' of this London restaurant where First Dates is set, is as charming as the premiss of this reality show. Says what it does on the tin. Awkward, endearing, funny and heartwarming.
