Since the beginning of the turn of the millennium, TV audiences have been treated to this golden age of television (at least that's what some experts think). In other words: television has never been so good, nor so smart. The series is no longer 'distinguished' only by vulgarity and nudity, but also by telling complex stories that rarely end with a smile on your face.
Television or TV series are no longer just for the masses who simply can't find anything else to do in the evening, they are also smart entertainment. And these are the series that appreciated and watched only by smart people.
