Optimistic World

Hi!

So as someone who hardly seems to have any free time, because she spends most of her day either going to school, on the bus, working a little bit out, or having fun with horrendous homework, I quite enjoy watching TV shows to fill the gaps in between. So I decided to do a monthly installment of me talking about my favourite shows that particular month or hopefully monthly anyway, we´ll see how well I keep up with it, and doing it monthly also requires that I have something "new" to talk about.

Spoiler alert: I´m about to out myself as a complete nerd.

The 100 (CW) IMDB



We´re going to kick off this list with a show, which I have been watching for quite a while, but it´s only fairly recently that I´ve let it destroy my life completely. I am of course talking about the amazing the 100. The show is set 97 years after a nuclear war destroyed almost all life on Earth, where a group of 100 teenagers who have all committed some sort of crime, are sent back to the ground from a space station, in order to find out if Earth is survivable again.

This show, as I said earlier, didn´t initially impress me a lot. However, that definitely has more to do with how hyped up it was on Tumblr, than the quality of it. But so far season 2 has definitely impressed me with higher stakes, more interesting characters and a really smart plot. I´m so utterly pleased that this show scored a renewal from the CW, because I definitely want to be watching it for a good long time to come.

Brooklyn Nine Nine (FOX)  IMDB



Next show on the list is, like the 100, a show I´ve been watching for quite some time, but unlike The 100 this was complete and absolute adoration at first sight. Brooklyn Nine Nine tells the story of a squad of detectives in Brooklyn´s fictional 99th Precinct and all the completely insane hi-jinks they get up to on the job.

Brooklyn Nine Nine is one of those comedy shows, which genuinely makes my day better, every single time I watch it. On top of that it has an amazing emotional core, and you genuinely care about these characters. This show has brightened many moody Mondays for me and for others I know, and I genuinely do hope it will continue to do so for a long time to come. Lastly, it has some of the same writers as Parks and Recreation, so if you love that show, you can´t go that wrong with checking this show out as well.

The Musketeers (BBC/BBC America)  IMDB



I´m going to put it very simply, this show is entertaining as hell. It´s based on the original novel about the Musketeers, and follows the musketeers Porthos, Aramis, Athos and the newcomer D´Artagnan, as they are doing various things in Paris as the King´s Musketeers.

I fell in love with this show last spring, when it was about to finish it´s first series the following week. I literally marathoned the first nine episodes in one sitting, I was that entertained. It is a really fun show, which probably anyone can watch. Unlike other period shows, such as Game of Thrones or The Tudors, this show is a family show, so even if you don´t like violence, you can easily watch this. The Musketeers is made to be an hour of fun, and it definitely is exactly that.

The Flash (CW) IMDB



I told you, I was going to out myself as a complete nerd didn´t I? (I haven´t read the comics though, so I´m still a little bit cool.) The Flash follows the scientist Barry Allen, who gets struck by lightning when a machine called a particle accelerator explodes. Nine months later he wakes up with superpowers. The Flash pilot was the most watched telecast ever on the CW and for good reason, because this show is absolutely amazing!

This show has incredibly great characters, an interesting and fun plot. I care a lot about all of these characters already, even though it has only been half a season. It is a spin off of Arrow, which you might have heard of, but you definitely don´t need to have seen it, in order to keep up with this show. And if you already watch Arrow, I got to say that I personally think this show is a lot better. Along with The 100 this is definitely my favourite show, which isn´t currently on hiatus.

Anyway, these were the shows I´ve been the craziest about in February, have you watched any of them, or are there any shows currently on that you love? Feel free to let me know, and see you soon :)
