What if your first Job was Saving the world? All of us have fantasized that Scenario at some point of our life (usually after some Avengers movie). Well who would have guessed that we’d be given that opportunity at the start of 2020. That too by avoiding the people and sitting inside your homes. Kudos introverts!! Coming to this mission for Saving Planet Earth, so far what seemed pretty easy is turning out to be a difficult task : “Doing Nothing”. So, People are either creating havoc in social media re-exploring old times , tossing weird challenges and spreading unauthorized news for saving planet Earth. Well if you don’t fall among any of those and would rather stay quiet Infront of a screen or Sleep, First let’s have a high five cause you’re on right place mate (now that we high fived let’s wash our hands first…. Hahaha …not funny? Okay !!). So let’s discuss some series to have our face stuck before the screens for days this quarantine season.
So for this purpose, I took a Survey. A deep, Intense and very fair Instagram and facebook “ask me anything” survey. The Suggestions that flooded in really amazed me as I realized how many series I’ve been missing and still considering myself a TV Series maniac!. Making things clear, I suggested everyone to opt out some of the Series which I’d already watched. Those were namely :
Series | My Personal Review |
Chernobyl | What could be better than this at time of corona Virus Outbreak. Watch it if you’re any type of human. |
Big Bang Theory | Watch it in the name of Love for Science |
Game of Thrones | It’s a good one. If you haven’t watched it despite all peer pressure, you can do anything in life. But I do recommend you to watch it . Don’t miss heroics of guy named “Ned stark”, he’s gonaa thrill you !! |
Friends | The Best! Don’t judge it watching few episodes only. |
How I met Your Mother | Some say it’s better than friends. I get “fake” vibes. |
Breaking Bad | Something Deep and Addictive. |
Prison Break | Couldn’t like more than 2 Seasons. Season 1 is the best. |
13 Reasons Why | Got me depressed! Don’t know hype around it. |
Stranger Things | Was Okay! Something felt Missing for me. |
Young Sheldon | I love Sheldon. But this show is not as hilarious as I expected. Watch it though, it’s not bad. |
Sacred Games | Had second Season been better, I’d fall for it! |
Sherlock Holmes | Fun to watch but sometimes I feel like he’s too lucky character! |
Vikings | Couldn’t Watch after death of Ragnar Lothbrook. Great Series! |
Naagin | I was born in this part of world because god didn’t want me to miss this show! Favorite !!! |
Well these are all my views, you can always Check their IMDB rating for verdict of larger no of people.
Now coming to the Shows I haven’t Watched , Lets use the Survey Data. The data I got from Online Survey was first listed and then Counted and sorted using Excel. So thank you Microsoft Corporation for making my job easier! Following TV Series was Suggested with No of Suggestions alongside them :

Well it seemed too boring to just Slap these Stats and recommend you series on this basis. So I decided to use IMDB ratings and these data to find a more real rating of these series. So basically, IMDB has two digit rating point that includes a digit after a point. It rates the content upto tenth value of decimal where first tens digit (10) is the optimal value. Using my database assuming 10 as optimal Value affects the rating of these series to very high scale and does not give nice results. So, I utilized the decimal after a point, calculated the rating per 100 people, added the number of voters and respective votes from my survey, Converted them to percentage and finally calculated the new rating of those series after converting them to Same IMDB format of tens. And these were the results:
