Tv Series Recommends

[Plenum]

drama, as a tool, is somewhat underrated as a teaching tool.  It is normally dismissed as just entertainment, and yet, the exploration of emotions, relationships, and polarity is heavily woven into our great stories.

Novels had their heydey at one point; now it's tv drama which rules the day.

Something like the series Breaking Bad can tell the story of a man driven by impending death and limitation to start engaging in some very self-service behaviour for the sake of his family.  It became a downward spiral after that

Personally, I've been blown away by Band of Brothers in recent days.  It's based on a true story, and even though it's a dramatization, just the awareness that the underlying facts are true - it's set in WWII - is mindblowing.  If anyone needed convincing that war is hell, then just get a dose of this.

I had a look at the IMDB user reviews after I finished the series, and I'm amazed that this is such a sleeper series.  It's been around for more than ten years, and I've only had the title referenced maybe a couple of times.  But I guess these were the days before social-media hype
