Hello, fellow TV series lovers! If there's one thing to do with all those free summer hours, it has to be bingeing on incredible shows.
Do you have a recommendation for us? Be sure to leave us a comment so that we can find out for ouselves how good it is. In the meantime, here is a short list of TV series in which we are very pleased to invest our time ;-).
THE BLACKLIST
LEONARDO
For the art lovers out there, this is an unusual and very personal depiction of the famous Leonardo da Vinci from his humble, loveless origins through his complicated thinking methods to his greatest masterpieces in all their glory. Mind you, it packs a love storyline and a criminal plot that serves as a storytelling technique. As a whole, it's worthwhile.
MISS SCARLET AND THE DUKE
EMILY IN PARIS
This is a hilarious and fashionable comedy about a young woman who moves to Paris to bring a fresh perspective to Savoir, a French marking firm. The cultural contrast is a neverending source of misuderstandings, competitiveness, shock and learning for her, and a sure way to have the time of our lives while we are at it. Perfect to enjoy the pretty streets of Paris, the inspired ideas of this creative social media strategist, the beautiful and sometimes outrageous fashion, and the exciting love prospects. We also relished the plot in each episode. A string of happy jewels.
THE MANDALORIAN
You can't go wrong if you choose this sci-fi magnet just to see Baby Yoda (yeah, Grogu is fine too) in very awkward, sometimes murderous, action. He is the star in this Star Wars universe spin-off series where a Knight in a all-purpose armour intimidates everyone with his masked coolness, solves problems in style, and melts in admirable, manly ways to protect a baby alien from evil men. Every episode is perfectly curated, the music will stay with you forever, and the ending will have you cheering and crying in equal measure. It's a must.
RAISED BY WOLVES
This one is a show we haven't started yet, but we are jumping on the bit to do so. It looks spectacular! A daring premise and stunning special effects are at the root of this sci-fi series where AI is raising children in space. Of course, not everyone agrees with this educational setting, so trouble ensues. Yay :-D
