۱۰ سریال برتر سال ۲۰۲۰

Number 10

Stranger Things.

Something is coming, something hungry for blood.

What is it?

The Demogorgon.

We’re in deep shit.

Later

See you tomorrow.

Good night, ladies.

Kiss your mum night for me.

Now guys this one is super entertaining, it’s fun and it is definitely a must watch that you can catch on Netflix.

Now the reason that I love this one is because it’s super unique in that it kind of it’s a nostalgia of the 80s first of all, you know I was born in the 80s I grew up with a lot of the pop culture of that era so if you’re similar that you grew up with these things you’re definitely going to love that aspect of it.

But even if you didn’t, it’s got a fresh young cast and one of the things that makes it really great is that you’re kind of waiting for monsters to pop out so it’s kind of a thriller and then at the same time it blends in elements of comedy so I think this kind of combination kind of keeps you entertained throughout the entire firs season.

Now last year the season 3 came out and frankly I wasn’t even sure if I was going to watch it because season 2 was definitely disappointing it didn’t really deliver on everything that we loved about season 1 but eventually I decided to give it a try and watch season 3 and it did not disappoint.

It brought back everything that we loved about season 1 while also bringing new villains and a whole new plot so it goes without saying that I’m definitely looking forward to watching season 4 and I highly recommend that you check out this series.

Number 9.

Rick and Morty

Now, are you ready to laugh I mean like really laugh so hard that your ribs hurt?

Well Rick and Morty is a perfect show for this.

If you enjoy animated series this one is definitely different than what you might be accustomed to with the likes of SpongeBob SquarePants or The Simpsons.

Now what this series does because it takes very complex scientific theories or philosophy and kind of explains it in a very accessible way but what makes Rick and Morty unique is definitely the characters that we have here the old man Rick who is kind of a crazy insane scientist who doesn’t really care what anyone thinks of him and Morty who is a timid young boy who just loves helping out his grandfather.

Now this is fantastic for your English because you will learn idioms and expressions, vocabulary the natives use in everyday life while at the same time having the opportunity to learn a lot of vocabulary that is specific to science.

So in conclusion you’re both equally mercurial overly sensitive clingy hysterical birdbrain humonculon and I honestly can’t even tell the two of you apart half the time because I don’t go by height or age, I go by amount of pain in my ass, which makes you both identical.

However, I should warn you that this series is not for everyone.

The humor in it can be dark and sometimes even offensive but if you want to get a taste of what this series is all about then you can check out this fun lesson that we made with it by clicking up at the top right of the screen.

Number eight.

Friends

Now if you’ve been following us then you know this is one of our favorite series.

Now I know that you’re probably asking yourself “what the heck is Friends, such an old series from the 90s, doing on a top ten list for 2020?”

Well the reason that I include this one is that I actually rewatched the whole 10 seasons last year in 2019 and I have to tell you I laughed a ton and I fell in love all over again with all of the characters and their stories.

It definitely has not lost any of its relevance.

Check out what Selena Gomez recently said about it:

You know what makes me so happy is that I would watch it on channel 33 at 10:30 every night on Thursday with my mom.

Yes

And I cried when the whole season was over but what made me so happy is like now now like people my age and everyone else is just obsessed and it just makes me so happy for you and for the show because it’s iconic.

Oh god I love you.

And other fans that you might know about include Taylor Swift.

I watch endless Friends marathons for comfort.

Harry Styles,

First question is: “Sing your favorite TV show theme tune”.

What should we do?

“So noone told you life was gonna be this way”

“Your job’s a joke, you’re broke Your love life’s D.O.A”

And the lead singer of the popular k-pop band, BTS.

How did you teach yourself English?

Um actually my English teacher was a sitcom, Friends,

oh, you watched Friends!

Yes.

So was it mainly just phrases then? Or you just learned everything?

Um, I think you know back in the days like when I was like 15, like 14 it was quite like a syndrome for all the Korean parents to make their kids watch the Friends.

Really?

So, yeah.

For.I thought I was kind of like a victim at that time but well right now I’m the lucky one so like thanks my mother she bought that all the other seasons for DVDs, it got 10 DVDs, right?

Right.

So about me, and so firstly I watched with the Korean subtitle and the next time I watched with the English subtitle and then i just removed it.

That’s very impressive and Friends would be very happy that you learned

Thank you!

Number seven: Succession.

Everything I’ve done in my life I’ve done for my children I know I’ve made mistakes but I’ve always tried to do the best final because I love them.

Maybe you thought about the possibility that your children are actually scared of you?

Oh fuck off!

Succession tells the story of a not so typical family called the Roy’s

let’s see exactly why.

This is my vision, I take over, you two under me.

Under you.

Let me think about it?

Of course.

I thought about it, fuck you.

This family’s broken and that has consequences.

Kick out the old man, him with the new guard.

Where’ve you been?

I was meeting about a prospective job.

With your father’s enemy?

Disagreeing with dad is not treason.

You want this enough to go to war with your family.

Now, the reason that this series is on the list is not only because it’s super entertaining but I recommend it for you because it is great for learning business English

let’s take a look at an example of some of the typical sort of vocabulary that you’ll learn for business, be careful because the series does include a lot of vulgar language which is a part of real-life English but if you prefer not to see that then you might want to skip over this example.

Yeah I’ll take it

so all they need is adults in the room accounting team, analytics team and investment we burned 50 million for a few years we, we make it the best thing in the world.

Oh is that all?

But you always say “got a burn to turn”.

Well, that’s what’s your read.

And you know it’s interesting dad because I hear everything he’s saying and it actually it almost sounds like a good pitch but I call bullshit.

I spent some time down there and I’m just not seeing it I don’t know exactly what they’re doing but they’re fakes fucking beehives almond milk and take another week on that report, Matilda it smells wrong and they’re hiding shit.

Oh.

Now this series is a drama with a little bit of comedy and it has won a bunch of awards such as the Golden Globe for Best Drama.

You can check out succession on HBO.

Number six: The Crown.

We’re ready for you, your Majesty.

Three, two, one.

This is Jubilee Day; this is a day of grueling as the Queen’s coronation 25 years ago.

Now with this one let’s head over to England because this series is perfect for learners of British English now it’s all about the history of Queen Elizabeth the second, the current Queen of England and the Royal Family as she came to power.

Now the reason we include it in this list is because it uses a classic sort of British English called received pronunciation, which is likely what you need to learn if you’re learning British English.

If that man wins, he’ll want us out.

This is no longer peacetime

This country was still great when I came to the throne, all that’s happened on my watch is the place is falling apart.

You cannot flinch any falling apart if we say it is, that’s the thing about the monarchy we paper over the cracks.

Now if you enjoyed this series and the language that you can learn in it then you might also want to check out Downton Abbey.

Number five: Suits.

Why don’t we go out and celebrate?

We’re all on the same boat now.

I’m taking full control as Managing partner.

Are you serious?

From now on it’s are you serious ma’am, have you got that, pretty boy?

What you said about us working together.

I appreciate it.

Thanks, Robin.

Oh you welcome, Batman.

Now coming from The Crown in England you might have heard of Megan Markle, who married recently into the royal family now she’s one of the main actresses in this next series.

Mike Ross?

Hi, I’m Rachel Zane, I’ll be giving your orientation.

Wow, you’re pretty.

Now Suits just had its final season which is great because it means that you can binge on the entire series at once. it is absolutely fantastic for anyone that needs to learn legal vocabulary let’s take a look at some examples.

Celebratory drinks with the associates?

Yep.

You know what? You can save the disappointment Harvey I know what I did.

Do you? because what I saw is that you backed off.

It was a fake trial, all right? I weighed the pros and the cons and I decided it wasn’t worth hurting someone for the result.

The result is you just told every partner in this firm including myself that you have a weak stomach.

You don’t have what it takes.

Now even if you’re not a lawyer and don’t need to learn legal vocabulary this show is absolutely fantastic because it mixes comedy and drama and each episode tends to cover a different case that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Now if you’ve already seen suits or after you finish it you want some more legal vocabulary another one that I really enjoyed that you could check out is How to Get Away with Murder.

I will not be teaching you how to study the law or theorize about it, but rather how to practice it in a courtroom like a real lawyer.

Now this one is a little bit corny but is also super entertaining and suspenseful, about a famous lawyer and her legal students at the university that she teaches out.

You can check out both Suits and How to Get Away with Murder on Netflix

Number four: Killing Eve.

Why are you and Vilanelle so interested in each other?

She wants me to know when she’s killed someone.

She’s behind that door!

Oh my God, I absolutely love this one, guys.

It’s definitely one of my favorite ones that I have discovered over the last couple of years.

Now this is another one with a really strange but super fascinating theme.

Gosh, Killing Eve is.

It’s a psychological drama, thriller and it really focuses on this relationship between these two women I played Eve Polastri at this at this early points works, for MI-5 and is obsessed with a serial killer it’s an assassin’s and then becomes obsessed with this one assassin killer named Villanelle play by Jodi Comer and we just enter into this kind of. at first I would say cat-and-mouse kind of relationship but by the end I think it’s like cat and cat.

Now one of the really interesting things about this series is that both of the main characters are women in two roles that we typically see played by men.

Now for language learners such as myself in English Learner like you you’re absolutely going to love this series because of the mix of accents first of all we see one of the main characters has an American accent but a lot of the series takes place in England so we see a lot of British accents and then the other main character is Russian and she tends to speak English with a Russian accent but she is also a master of different accents and different languages.

Jody, um, as Villanelle speaks many languages, I mean the girl has a remarkable ear she’s so talented and so she’s speaking many languages and many accents but her own accent well.

Alright

I leave you all to.

I’ll be surprised.

Yes you will.

As each episode came through I was like “oh! Russian, German” like they all yeah they kept going.

Wow!

What’s your favorite one to do on the show?

Um, I really enjoyed doing the Italian purely because that was the one I found easiest to do, French is really hard.

So it’s really impressive to see her doing all these different accents and it is definitely someone that you can try to emulate.

Suncream heiress from Sydney

I’m Billy.

Hi Billy.

and I’m an addict.

My name is Natalie this is Fanny we work with Frank.

Excuse me, sir. I’m so sorry to bother you but are you gonna graduate soon?

Hablas español?

Sí.

Deutsche?

Ja.

Mandarin?

Number three: His Dark Materials.

I set out for the North some twelve months ago, and this is the first of the discoveries I made.

A myriad of worlds, of which the Magisterium controls only one.

For centuries they have been trying to keep us where they want us.

on our knees.

You promised the Magisterium you’d control Asriel.

Then we’ll need to take the matter into our own hands.

Lyra, there’s a great change coming that will threaten us all.

I’m going to give you something.

What does it do?

It has a part to play in all this.

And a major one.

Wait!

Tell me where the alethiometer is.

Or I will destroy all of this.

I actually just recently watched season one of this one I absolutely loved the book trilogy by Philip Pullman, His Dark Materials and I was thrilled when I heard HBO was making a series with this.

I’ll tell you what guys this one exceeded my expectations it is so much better than I thought that it would be in His Dark Materials we see things like talking bears, airships, portals to other worlds and war and it’s all from the perspective of a little girl named Lyra.

Now His Dark Materials is absolutely exciting, you’re always going to be asking yourself what is coming next and wanting more at the end of every episode so even if you have not read the books, I highly recommend that you check this one out on HBO.

Number 2: Handmaid’s Tale.

I was asleep before that’s how we let it happen.

When they slaughtered Congress we didn’t wake up, when they blame terrorists and suspended the Constitution we didn’t wake up then either.

Now I’m awake.

Now guys this one is really impactful the reason that it is so good is because what of a strange premise it is.

However, it also seems like it’s kind of realistic for something that could happen in the future, it takes place in the United States in at least what was the United States and it’s kind of the world that we know has gone to hell that means that everything has gone really bad.

In Margaret Atwood’s near-future novel The Handmaid’s Tale a Christian fundamentalist regime called the Republic of Gilead has staged a military coup and established a theocratic government in the United States.

The regime theoretically restricts everyone but in practice a few men have structured Gilead so they have all the power, especially over women.

Now if you’re like me this one will probably have you really emotional sometimes feeling really angry even at what’s happening in the series which I think if a series can do that that means it’s absolutely fantastic.

So I highly recommend you check this one out on Hulu and I hope you enjoy it a lot now let’s move on to number one.

Can I get a drumroll please?

Number one is.

The Morning Show.

8 seconds to you.

Queue her.

Good morning, I’m bringing you some sad and upsetting news and while I don’t know the details of the allegations.

She’s throwing me under the bus.

Mitch Kessler my co-host and partner of 15 years was fired today.

So this series from the new streaming platform Apple TV + features Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell so already with this tremendous cast we can expect a really fantastic series.

Now one of the reasons that this series is so fantastic is that it is taking a look at a very relevant issue today.

I play a character named Mitch Kessler he’s a morning personality who is accused of sexual misconduct.

The show is about that that’s sort of the catalyst for what happens it’s not really about my character it’s about how it impacts this show and the people within it.

Yep, and and cover-ups and and how supposedly that people higher up know when things are happening.

Yeah.

And don’t really do anything about it.

Yeah web of lies there’s a lot I mean it’s it’s ten episodes I thought it was very well written.

Boy it’s really really good.

Now if you work in the world of news or journalism you’re going to find the vocabulary that you learn in this series really useful but even if you don’t you definitely should check it out because this is a drama that is full of twists and turns that’s going to leave you wanting to see what happens next.

We have always shown you personal and professional respect.

I never anticipated we would be met with such utter disrespect and insubordination in return.

So a great place to start if you want to check this one out is to watch a recent popular lesson that we made featuring this series by clicking up at the top or down description below.
