As it is the period of hiatus, the much-hyped series are on hold. So, I decided to endorse in lesser-known series. Here are some of them worth watching:
1. Leverage
Modern Robin-Hood-styled series. After all, their tag is: "Sometimes bad guys make the best good guys." Coupled with witty humour and character building plots, it provides adequate entertainment that makes stealing and scams seemed fun.
2. Lie To Me
Focusing on a group of people who act as walking lie-detectors. Through facial expressions and bodily gestures, they are able to tell you whether you are lying or not. It is convincing and fascinating due to its evidence-based, scientific and psychological story lines.
3. Eleventh Hour
The never ending expansions of the FBI departments, this time focusing on a special science adviser. Together with his protecting agent, they uncover the exploit of science in a badass way and save innocent civilians from it. Basically, its pretty much like X-Files with the absence of the supernatural course.
4. The Mentalist
Similar to Lie To Me, The Mentalist is yet another detective/crime solving show (I think I'm pretty much obsessed with cop shows, if you just noticed). Patrick Jane (Baker) is an consultant with a talent of extreme observation skills helping the cops to detect criminals and sometimes manipulate them into admitting their crimes. A very different approach in crime solving which is appealing and intriguing at the same time.
5. Mad Men
A multi-award drama series depicting the US society in the 1960s, focusing more on an advertising talent, Don Draper. A wholly different atmosphere from other series and a satisfying eye-opener of a not-so-distant-past.
Alright, here ends the promos. While the popular series are slowly reemerging from their hibernation, it is always gratifying to get out of the hype box once in a while and mollycoddle in the less-explored.
