5 Series You Can Watch When Bored

Remember when it’s a holiday and you’re laying on your bed doing nothing (aka me this summer vacation), and you try to think of series to watch but fail to come up with names? Yeah. This is for those days. (*loud crowd cheers in the background*)

Anyways, following are some TV series you can watch when you’re bored:

• Stranger things

Stranger Things is an American science fiction, horror web television series created, written, and directed bythe Duffer Brothersand released onNetflix. It has 2 seasons and the 3^rd season will release on July 4^th this year.

Set in the fictional town of Hawkins,Indiana, in the 1980s, the first season focuses on the investigation into the disappearance of a young boy amid supernatural events occurring around the town, including the appearance of a girl withpsychokineticabilities who helps the missing boy's friends in their own search. The second season, titledStranger Things 2, is set one year later, and deals with attempts of the characters to return to normality and consequences that linger from the first season. The third season, titledStranger Things 3, is set in mid-1985.

Yeah, you might think it’s a silly sci-fi series with kids, but it’s not. After 2,3 episodes you get hooked to this series. And if you don’t start loving Dustin, Mike, Steve, Nancy, Jonathan- basically the whole cast then don’t talk to me. And you’ll start loving Eleven and her Eggos anyway.

• The Mentalist

The Mentalist is an Americandrama television seriesthat ran from September 23, 2008, until February 18, 2015, broadcasting 151 episodes over seven seasons, on CBS.Created by Bruno Heller, who was also its executive producer, the show follows former "psychic" Patrick Jane, who is a consultant to theCalifornia Bureau of Investigation(CBI), using the highly developed observational skills he previously employed to "read" people's minds. However, his main aim is to find the murderer of his wife and daughter who adresses himself as 'Red John'. Each episode is as mindblowing as the last ones. The whole team works amazingly with Agent Cho's sarcasms, Agent Rigsby's love for food, Agent Lisbon's bossiness and Agent Grace Van Pelt's sincereness. I mean, what's not to love?

• Black Mirror

It examines modern society, particularly with regard to the unanticipated consequences ofnew technologies. Episodes are standalone, usually set in analternative presentor the near future, often with a dark and satirical tone, though some are more experimental and lighter.

• B99

The series revolves around Jake Peralta , an immature-but-talented NYPD detective in Brooklyn's 99th Precinct, who comes into conflict with his new commanding officer, the serious and stern Captain Raymond Holt.
