It has been another great year of television in 2015, with several new worthy additions to the golden era. Television continued to evolve brilliantly this past year, and we were privileged enough to witness some amazing seasons from new shows and continuing series. What was striking to see was the sheer variety available in terms of original content and an attempt to explore diverse genres. If television continues to grow at this creative pace, it could well and truly become the most definitely popular medium in the world. For all those looking to catch up on some shows you might have missed, here is a list of 6 awesome shows that were top-notch in 2015.
6. You’re The Worst
6. You’re The Worst
Mainstream entertainment has a way of making everything more dramatic or severely toned down. This is most seen while watching sugar-coated rom-coms that are afraid of showing us the ugly side of relationships. ‘You’re The Worst’ explored this idea brilliantly with two amazing seasons that dared to look into the nature of complex, modern relationships.
5. Master Of None
5. Master Of None
‘Master of None’ might be the best debut original comedy series of the year. This Netflix release gives Aziz Ansari a chance to shine his comedic talent while exploring the nature of what it means to be a second-generation immigrant in a place like America. It is funny, real and consistently charming.
4. Game Of Thrones
4. Game Of Thrones
No list is complete without the most popular show in the world. ‘Game of Thrones’ might not have been the best show this past year, but it managed to take things forward nicely and keep its vast fan base engaged and guessing all year long.
3. The Last Man On Earth
3. The Last Man On Earth
I wouldn’t call ‘The Last Man on Earth’ a high concept driven show; it does, however, use its genius premise to near perfection and unfolds a comedic tale in the most entertaining way possible. It is funny, silly, real and very unique when compared to other comedies on TV.
2. Veep
2. Veep
‘Veep’ began on quite a strong note five years ago, but it would have been almost impossible to predict its meteoric rise. The premise isn’t extremely original and neither is the setting, which is why its strong writing and acting deserve major props. The show might have been the funniest comedy all-year, and this after being the funniest comedy all of last year as well. This wagon is definitely on a roll!
1. Ash Vs Evil Dead
1. Ash Vs Evil Dead
The entertainment business might be thriving based on adapting everything they can get their hands on, but this is one adaptation that definitely deserved to get made. Ash Vs Evil Dead fills in the massive gap of horror-comedy that television desperately required, and in the most gory, awesome way possible as well.
