Eleven best Films and TV Shows from the last decade – 12 Days of Christmas

Eleven TV Shows from the last decade I absolutely loved

1. Community (NBC, 2009). The funniest of them all. The series follows an ensemble of characters at a community college in the fictional town of Greendale.
2. Game of thrones (HBO, 2011). The hype is real. This fantasy drama show follows a web of alliances and conflicts among the dynasties either wanting the throne or fighting for independence.
3. Westworld (HBO, 2016). This very exciting sci-fi thriller depicts a technologically advanced, Western-themed amusement park populated by robots with an incredible AI. It’s a must watch.
4. Orange is the New Black (Netflix, 2013). This show is funny and yet so frustrating. It made me cry every time. It’s based on Piper Kerman’s memoir and her experience in federal prison.
5. The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu, 2017). This sad and scary show, depicts a dystopian futre following a Second American Civil War wherein a regime subjects fertile women, called “Handmaids”, into child-bearing slavery.
6. Black Mirror (Netflix, 2011). This is the most mind bending one. It examines a dystopian society in regard to the consequences of new technologies.
7. Fleabag (BBC, 2016). This comedy show is absolutely brilliant as it constantly breaks the fourth wall. It follows an angry, confused, sexually voracious woman and her hilarious experiences.
8. The Good Place (NBC, 2016). This one makes me happy. It follows the deaths of four individuals who think they are in heaven.
9. Master of None (Netflix, 2015). It’s a lovely show that follows the story of a man and his romantic, professional, and cultural experiences.
10. Key and Peele (Comedy Central, 2012). Is a ridicously silly and funny comedy sketch show created by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele and it cover a variety of societal topics, focusing on American popular culture, ethnic stereotypes and race relations.
11. Broad City (Comedy Central, 2014). This comical sitcom is based on the friendship of two funny female characters, and their adventures of carelessness in New York City.

Special mentions to Breaking Bad and Parks and Recreation.
