The 5 TV Series You Cannot Turn Away From
There are plenty of TV series out there that will keep you in front of the set, putting in dvd boxset after dvd boxset until you’ve finished the entire thing. The idea of the cliffhanger, the serial, the super-addictive show that forces you to keep watching is back. Here are five examples.
#5 “Gossip Girl”
Sure, it’s just like every other one of those TV series full of rich jerks messing around on each other. But there’s something about the particular nature of these Gossip Girl shows that just keeps you drawn in — whether it’s the NYC setting or the contemporary mores and ‘expose’ feel of its pulpy plots, you won’t be able to turn it off.
#4 True Blood
Sure, this TV series is about trendy vampires, but takes it all in a completely different direction from Twilight and its ilk. Once you start following the whole Sookie Stackhouse story closely, you’ll realize you’ve been completely hooked, and the only way to wean yourself is by finishing all the seasons.
#3 Jersey Shore.
It’s rare to find a reality show this compulsively watchable, but these semi-crazy people and their antics in a shorehouse for the summer make people absolutely keep watching. This is a TV series about crazy extroverts, a bunch of lions in a den all together, repeatedly exploding. You can’t stop.
#2 The Office
It’s not often that a comedy can integrate a romantic story-line that keeps its viewers involved and rooting for the characters, but that’s what The Office has done. It’s a TV series that’s not only consistently hilarious but also tugs at the heartstrings, and once you watch a few and get even mildly into it, you won’t be able to get out again.
#1Lost
Lost has taken its lessons from the old serials of the 1950s: keep the audience wanting more, and you’ll get them hooked for the entire run. Possibly the most addictive show in history, Lost has hooked viewers around the entire globe, and is even worse when watched as a dvd boxset.
