Following in no particular order:
Hannibal (2013-2015)
I've said it before and I will probably say it again until the day I die: Hannibal is pure art. From the cinematography to the dialogues to the acting and writing, it is so brilliant and artistic I don't know anything comparable. That said, I totally get why someone wouldn't want to watch it, it is filled with violence, gore and body horror after all. Oh. And cannibalism of course, can't forget that.
Sense8 (2015-2018)
Look. I just love the concept of sense8 so much and I do love the execution as well. These eight people, whose chaotic lives just suddenly connect to each other, and who have to adjust to each other and fight those that would harm them. In the end their love for each other and the people they chose triumphs and that's so beautiful to me (there's a post in the works talking about that specifically, so look out for that).
Black Sails (2014-2017)
I've praised Black Sails on this blog before but I recently rewatched season 2 and was once again struck by how amazing it was, how complex the characters how intricate the story. Definitely one of my favorite TV shows of all time.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013-today)
Okay, maybe it isn't fair to include B99 since it is still ongoing but it started in 2013 and it is so wonderful and hilarious and just very good, so on the list it will remain.
As you can see my favorite shows are actually much more diverse in genre and content. Maybe that's at least partially to do with creators increasingly moving to TV or the simple fact that I, naturally, watch more TV than I go to the movie theater.
Anyway. We will continue our scheduled essay/commentary blogging as soon as possible.
Satori over and out
