Weeds

I started watching this show out of boredom and it was available on Netflix. Rated at around 4/5 stars I thought it would be a quality drama. Upon finishing the first season, I discovered that as time went on the more I began to despise the main character, the show lost focus, and was a complete and utter failure in my eyes. However this did not stop me from making it up to season 8 of the series, the story goes completely off the rails and you begin to wonder why you've wasted countless hours of your life to such awfully tailored entertainment. To conclude, this show is definitely a waste of time but can easily become addictive purely because of it's stupidity.

Bob's Burgers

Bob's Burgers is a hilarious adult cartoon full of broken stereotypes and free from discrimination. Unlike most adult cartoons, Bob's Burgers does not rely on cheap racist or sexist humour to get its laughs but rather alternates between witty, sexual and just plain silly jokes. It's centred around quite an average looking family who run their own fairly unsuccessful restaurant and go on all sorts of adventures which always end at one of the characters expense. About to premier its 6th season, Bob's Burgers has not let the quality of it's programme dimish in the slightest. I'd highly recommend this series as a light, bubbly way to relax on a quiet night.

Skins

Skins is a teenage drama series set in South West England. The series is based around teenagers in their final years of high school concentrating on the struggles that they face and the mischief they get up to. Most of the themes that come into play with Skins are those such as drug use, teen sex, mental and physical disorder and bulling. This series is targeted at the group which it represents, due to its high use of course language, violence themes that are set to relate to those currently experiencing similar situations, or whom strike an interest in the type of personel. 

The cast of Skins changes every 2 seasons so it is constantly kept fresh with  new obstacles and ideas providing benefit to the viewer.

Rick and Morty

Rick and Morty just began their long awaited second season after their great success with the first. The concept is essentially just a grandfather and his grandson going on weird and intergalactic adventures with an often vulgar twist. As an adult cartoon, Rick and Morty does not hold back on the casual swearing, crude references and harsh controversial statements however beyond that the humour is clever and never fails to entertain. I personally love this series since it is not only comedic but also involves intricate plots, a huge number of hilarious minor characters and wacky concepts relating to things like outer space, time travel, cloning etc.

Through this story, he tells his kids of all the many adventures he, and his four best friends, Barney, Marshall, Lilly and Robin had been through over the years of him falling in and out of love before he found the right girl. This TV show would be recommended to younger viewers aged 15-25 who love a good laugh, as it is subject to quite a large amount of  rowdy humour. This series has already come to an end as of 2014, however if you are looking for your next procrastination method and can get your friends to not spoil it for you it is most definitely worth the watch!

Coach Carter, an Inspirational Story

Coach Carter, is a film released in 2005 by director Thomas Carter, staring Samuel L. Jackson. Coach Carter is based on a true story of how a basketball team known as the 'Oilers' representing the not so prestigious Richmond High, high school went from a team of young boys who were barely passing their grades, were engaged in and encouraging street violence and generally making poor life decisions, to a team which went undefeated until the state finals as well as over half the team attending college, when just before the season, none were expected to get past high school. It is a true success story of how young boys from the dangerous, underprivileged city of Richmond turned into grown men, gaining scholarships to some of the best college's in the country.

If you are in need of a motivational push, I highly recommend you give this movie a watch.

Fear the Walking Dead

Fear the Walking Dead premiered a few weeks ago attracting over 10 million viewers in the US alone. As a prequel to the currently on hiatus hit TV drama The Walking Dead, it has been quite a success. The series takes place during the time in which Rick Grimes (one of the main protagonists in The Walking Dead) is in a coma. During this coma, the zombie apocalypse begins as disease and desperation takes over the world. Particularly, the introduction to the show is captivating and intriguing drawing in viewers from the first minute of air time. Fear the Walking Dead doesn't move too fast in terms of death and destruction but rather utilizes the time they've been given to realistically display the slow and steady ruination of society whilst simultaneously remaining dramatic and gruesome.

After airing 2 episodes, the show has left it's millions of viewers on a cliff hanger during a 1 week hiatus which is both frustrating as well as an effective method of keeping their audience hungry for more.
