Popular TV Series
W
e all grow up watching
Hollywood films. We watched
them on TV and in theaters. I
can remember the times we rented
movies from stores to watch, but that all
went away since the Internet became
more popular. Now we are able to watch
films on our computers by downloading
them. Besides, the rise of the Internet
brought us other benefits. We can all
watch the American and European series
easily. I believe it affects us more than
films for those who follow more than one
series loyally because we watch them
every week. Sometimes we can even
watch series that aren’t airing anymore.
These series give us the opportunity to
improve our English skills as well as the
chance to be entertained.
Nowadays, some of these series have
become very popular. We can split them
into two categories. One is approximately
20 minutes per episode. These kinds of
series are usually sit-coms, such as “How I
Met Your Mother”, “The Big Bang Theory”
and so on. There are also some sit-coms

that have finished, but are called legends,
such as “Friends” or “Seinfeld," by their
former audience. The other kind has more
types of series actually. They are usually
45 minutes per episode and they can be
fictional, tragic or many other genres.
In the fictional category, “Game of
Thrones” is the most popular one. It takes
place in a fictional world and tells about
the intrigue between four families who
want to possess the “Iron Throne”.
We can also mention “The Walking Dead”
as a fictional series which tells the story of
a sheriff, Rick Grimes, and his group’s life
during
a
zombie
apocalypse.
“Supernatural” includes the story of two
brothers fighting against monsters, devils,
vampires and even angels to save
humanity and take their vengeance for
their parents.
