The purpose of art is to influence us. And television has the most power here, as they can follow their favorite series, shows, etc. for many years. Today we present five series that will motivate you to make life changes.
Some shows don't really care about their impact: most sitcoms and series just provide basic entertainment. But some of the best series of all time are able to find unique ways to present themes of one kind or another to their viewers and try to connect with them. There are 5 series in front of you which they illustrate characters and themes thoughtfully and convincingly, which can prepare us for big or small life changes.
Master of None (2015– ): Travel the world while you can
At its core, the series could be just another cliché: a popular comedian creating a semi-autobiographical comedy. But Aziz Ansari is more than comedy. It presents with the series a comprehensive and often painful portrait of single life in the digital age. His alter ego Dev Shah thus grapples with entering adulthood, presenting old wisdom about the pitfalls of life in a new and comical way.
Dev soon realizes that he should make your star-crossed world travel dreams come true, while he still can, even if it means he will have to face the uncertainty that the future brings.
Six Feet Under (2001-2005): Confronting Your Mortality
Death is the common thread of the HBO series Under the Rušo, and it's about a family that brings together the death of his father and the struggle to manage the family mortuary. The characters around which the series revolves are in their own way insignificant, deeply wounded, unpredictable, self-destructive, selfish, manipulative, evil, and mostly just scared.
By setting it in a funeral home and starting each episode with a new death, series creator Alan Ball invited us to think, how death affects our lives. Most of us ignore her, but she seems to force us to face our own mortality once and for all in the shocking series finale.
Silicon Valley (2014– ): even if you fail, don't give up on your dreams
What began as a satire on the pretentious tech world of the San Francisco Bay Area increasingly looks like a satire on the American dream. The main character of the HBO series, Richard Hendricks, simply wants to get his revolutionary invention into the hands of consumers around the world and make the world a better place. Only then will the earnings come. A his dreams are crushed by America's corporate world, which is full of ruthless investors and incomprehensible legal problems, as a result of which he is often forced to change his moral principles or will be forced to give up on his dreams.
This series is a convincing example that it is sometimes it really isn't worth going through the trouble of starting a small business, but that doesn't mean your dreams aren't worth fighting for.
The Office (2001-2003): Quit your crappy job... or at least ask a cute co-worker out on a date
As great as the American version of The Office was, it will never be as satirically sharp and comical as the original 14-part British serial. It's an office full of embarrassment and comedic moments, occasional slights and hypocrisy, suffered by suburban workers whose key message is: work is hell! Ricky Gervais plays the empty-headed boss David Brent, who only cares about himself, and the tragedy of it all is the competent Tim, whose efforts and happiness are canceled out by the miserable daily office work.
The series ends with Tim stuck in this horrible job and losing any chance of being with Dawn, the receptionist he has a crush on. It's a grim reminder that can motivate quite a few people, to quit a job in which they are unhappy and find something that makes them happy. Well, or at least to invite on a date with a colleague who they find cute.
Band of Brothers (2001): Read a book and learn something about history
Many prestigious series use history as inspiration, but few capture the era they represent with such vivid beauty and horror as the now-classic miniseries The Chosen Hand. World War II comes to life again through the eyes of "Easy Company", of the American Airborne Division, which was stationed in Normandy and played an essential role in other important events in Europe. Every scene looks very real, from the trenches to the Belgian villages, it's the same with the characters. Probably also because these people really lived, which is emphasized by the voices of the "Easy Company" soldiers who start each episode.
The series is a select few attractive enough, inspiring enough to make a little historian out of each of us.
