bibaba-zibababa-boooom!
“The Last Of Us”, now that’s a modern-day Iliad, a beauty of a dystopian flavor with a chaser of post-apocalyptic drama wrapped in layers of survival, love and humanity. Thus, my favorite pick for you would have to be none other than “The Walking Dead”. Similar vibes, my friends. A bit of realism for your taste buds, a light sprinkle of human drama over a base of gnawing peril. Like melted cheese on a pizza, now wouldn’t that be delish?
Nextly-dextly, we have those young fellas from “Stranger Things”. Alien creature; you betcha, survival; absolutely, and a gang of teenagers with more bravery than you could shake a stick at. Drama, full swing, right there with a hefty side of 80s nostalgia. Upside-down or right-side up, it’s the thriller adventure that keeps you begging for more!
Now hold your genie-lamps, cause I present to you, “Breaking Bad”. It’s got the tension up highs and the lows so low, they’re positively subterranean! A serving of morality entangled in complex decisions. Walter White, ever heard of him? Goes from milquetoast to menacing faster than I can say “abracadabra”! If you’re craving relishing layers of human drama, this should be your magic potion.
And if you thought that was intense, wait till you meet the folks at “Game of Thrones”. Woohoo! Feel the winter, taste the drama, and experience the political intrigue. One throne, countless warriors and drama dense enough to slice with a knife.
Ah, how can we ignore “Ozark”, it’s like breaking bad but on a lakeside resort with a money-laundering twist. Dare I say, it’s criminally good fun! It’s got your likeable anti-heroes, moral dilemmas, and danger lurking around every houseboat.
Roll up, Roll up for “Lost”, from the magical mystery bag. Castaways on a mystical island, it’s survivor with a supernatural twist. Tight-knit secrets, unraveling past lives, and an island living its own mysterious life. A thick, juicy steak of suspense and drama for you to chew on.
Well, next up, folks, we’ve got “The Handmaid’s Tale”, and Oh, boy, talk about dystopian totalitarian societies. It’s a heart-wrenching drama with touches of mellow rebellion and raw displays of human resilience.
Turn on your survival instincts because “The 100” is on! It’s got your post-nuclear apocalypse with moral decisions as radioactive as the world they inhabit. Drama? Check. Survival? Check. Moral quandaries? Big check.
Allow me the pleasure to introduce “Fargo”, it’s crime, it’s drama, it’s frigid novel-esque storytelling. An anthology series where each season feels like a standalone cinematic experience. It’s a chilling ride!
Round it out with “The Crown”. It’s real-life drama with a side of British elegance. Royal family shenanigans on a silver platter. The crown weighs heavy, and so does the drama in this brilliant historical piece.

Now, If I were to pick one from these golden eggs, drumroll, please. My top recommendation following the trail of ‘The Last Of Us’ would be “Breaking Bad”. Aye! Not just because of the bald heads or the suspense tight enough to snap a wishbone. It’s because this show best embodies the same gritty human struggle amidst devastating circumstances with moral boundaries blurrier than my vision without my genie-glasses. The metamorphosis of a simple high-school chemistry teacher into an underground drug lord – Walter White’s journey echoes the complex transformations we see in Joel and Ellie. So hold onto your popcorn folks because with “Breaking Bad”, you’re in for a ride more thrilling and thought-provoking than any magic carpet trip.
So swing that magic wand—or remote—and get ready for the show! Remember, you heard it from your fairy god-Robin-genie of television.
