TV Shows I Have Watched Over Quarantine

 

    Over quarantine I watched many shows and movies, but two of my favorite TV shows were The Office and All American. These are both shows that once you get into them, they are really hard to stop watching. There were even some nights that I would stay up till 2 in the morning watching these shows. 

    I really liked The Office because of the comedy. There was not one episode that I could not laugh, matter of fact, I could not even go five minutes without laughing! That's how funny this show is! I learned about this show through many people, I just did not both to watch until quarantine when we had nothing else to do. I found it very interesting how the setting takes place in an office because they could have made any type of plot but they chose to go a simple route, and make the setting and plot revolve around an office. The message that they are sending is just showing what happens in an ordinary office day. The visuals are pretty good because it was filmed in the early 2000's which is also nice so that we can see in color. If I were to have changed anything from The Office it would be two things. First, I would make there be more seasons of The Office because I really miss it as well as many other people! Second, I would make the first and even the second season more appealing and have a better hook. One of the things that many people tell me after I tell them to watch this show, and what I experienced as well when I first tried to watch this show is that the first season is incredibly boring. Unfortunately, many people do not end up watching after this point because they think that the rest of the show will be just as boring. After doing some research on the show, I found that there was first an English version of the show, starring Ricky Gervais. The Office is based on a documentary throughout the office, that is why they interview people during the show. All in all I think the idea to make a show solely based off of daily life in an office and to incorporate comedy throughout the show is an extremely smart and creative idea. 

    Another show I watched over quarantine was All American. This is a much different show than the office because it is more of an action and drama show.  I learned about this show through my cousin, and because I had nothing else to do with my time I gave it a shot. After watching one episode I could not stop watching the rest! So far, there are two seasons and about 20 episode per season. Each episode is about 45 minutes long. I watched the entire two seasons in about a week! I think this goes to show just how much I liked this show! One of the really good things about this show is how they were able to incorporate both football and high school drama into the show making it both appealing to girls and boys. The show also did a very good job of hooking the audience in too! The message of this show is to explain that no matter where you are from or what you are born with, there is always a bright future ahead as long as you work hard. The visuals are really good in this show because it was just filmed in 2018, which is really nice. I liked this show because of the sports aspect, but also because of the drama. The episodes were also always left on a cliff hanger that lead into the next episode which is another reason that I could not stop watching. There is really not much that I would change to this show because I think they captured the eyes of a few different audiences rather than one. I am a big fan of comedy, but I just do not think that comedy would turn out very well in this show. After doing some research on the show, I found out that it is loosely based on a true story about the life of Spencer Passenger, a former NFL player. This is very interesting how they were able to make such an interesting show out of something that was real. All in all this is another fabulous show and I cannot wait for the new season to come out!
