Revenge and Skins are my favorite TV series.
Revenge is an American drama series inspired by the
Alexandre Dumas novel The Count of Monte Cristo. It is about a young woman
named Amanda Clarke whose father was framed by the Grasons for treason and
accused of being involved in a terrorist attack when Amanda was still a little
girl. He got imprisoned and killed in jail by associates of the Grasons. His
daughter was in a juvenile correctional facility untill she got released on her
18th birthday. Then, she went back to take revenge on her father’s death ;
she changed her identity into Emily Thorne and rented her father’s beach house
in The Hamptons, near The Grasons and started executing the stages of her
elaborate plan. I like it because of the suspense and the unpredictible plot,
also because its story-lines explore some political and social issues.
Skins is a British teen drama that follows the lives of a
group of teenagers in Bristol who are trying to grow up and find love and
happiness despite the struggles being teenagers. There are 7 seasons and
three generations. The primary cast is replaced every two years, every two
seasons. Each episode focuses on a particulat character and the issues they
face in life, such as dysfunctional families, mental illness, bullying,
substance abuse, death, etc… My favourite
