The good thing is, I have already written about it here:
And I would not like to change much around here.
If it’s TL:DR for you, then this is the shorter version:
- Haunting of Hill House- A horror show? That too in the fall season? Please count me in. I went in planning to have a good scare and have 1-2 sleepless nights reading about it on Wikia or Screenrant at the most. But, humans, was I wrong. It may be horror in genre, but it is an allegory on the seven stages of grief, importance of one’s family, however dysfunctional, and the destructive manifestations of trauma response. secrets as the ones shown in the series.
- Person of Interest- A show well ahead of its times, it had foreshadowed so many future events. It was my dissociation partner as my world was falling apart in 2014. It was the only compass I had for any sense of balance, devoid friends and love, I found gravitating towards it for some much needed kinship, camaraderie and love ( looking at you Reese). Also, I identified heavily with Root.
- Schitt’s Creek- All hail 2018 for the great year it was to me. Schitt’s Creek was what I imagined a happy life to be, having a sassy and classy mom like Moira, a softie dad like Mr. Rose ( also such a dad figure for Stevie, something I had in common with her that year), a friendship like David and Stevie ( have a friendship quite identical to that in real life) and a sister as fun as Alexis, and need I say anything about how the show celebrated healthy romantic relationship.
- The Office- I discovered The Office quite late, I wish I had discovered it in 2012-13 or even earlier. I hated Michael in season 1, but then found him to be a hilarious ironical figure. And what can I say about Jim-Pam , still jealous of you Pam. And the cast was just brilliant. The whole lot, it just makes you actually wish for an office like that. Also that wedding dance at Jim-Pam’s wedding was the icing on the cake.
- Made in Heaven Season 1- I used to be a romantic, a textbook hopeless one, but then reality creeped in and swallowed my heart in its cold, dark embrace. I turned into a commitment-phobe, not wanting to marry, settle down and do the boring till I died. Then came my now husband and he made me appreciate life again, he shone his golden hour energy on my cold, dark heart and made me want to consider spending my life with him. Strangely, the timeline coincided with Made in Heaven. As I watched Tara and Karan navigate the labyrinthine world of wedding planning, it felt like a mirror reflecting the excitement and complexities of my own journey towards matrimony.
So, this is my ‘TV Shows I can watch on repeat’ list, what is yours?
