Tech 2.0's favorite TV Shows

The Sopranos
Created by David Chase, this epic series was the first to be shot on 16 mm film, and also the first to seamlessly show explicit content, and how. This show revolves around a Italian American family who is involved in the Mob, or the organized crime racket. Its based in New Jersey, and has ll real locations, brilliant performances, and stories that can make one shiver. The drama is deep and all characters have their due shades or grey, which makes this one an enticing watch. That’s probably why it is one of the most successful series on HBO, as its not all gore and violence, it wouldn’t have lasted 6 seasons if it was just killing, killing, killing. The writing is the best, and after a very short while, you feel you know the characters inside out, but still cannot predict what will happen in the next hour-long episode

Entourage
This one really is a common favorite amongst all the tech2 crew, and the only reason why I am writing about it is because I like no other modern TV shows besides these mentioned. Entourage is about a young guy called Vincent Chase from a humble background in Queens Boulevard New York, who settles down in modern-day Hollywood, with his entourage. He is a good looking movie star, and cashing the millions along with his friends/entourage who comprise his manager Eric, half-brother Drama, and friend Turtle. The show revolves around them living the good life, which means bedazzlingly hot chicks, smoking pot and attend beach parties every week almost. Though its not just that, there is also Vince’s agent Ari, who is absolutely brilliant as a typically� charged up Hollywood Celeb agent. Movie scripts, Shootings, press releases, talk shows, this show has the works of a movies starts inner life. The writing is flawless. It is escapism with a capital E for us lower mortals, to gleefully smack up when our tiring drudgery in office is done

Swat Kats
Two words: Full Win. And I’m extremely sad this super cartoon had such few episodes. It is an old series that used to come on our Cartoon Network back in the day,( now it comes in Hindi) I was in school then. It was the early nineties, and cartoons was all we’d watch, but this was different, and the main factor was the blitzkrieg pace of the Swat Kat cartoons. They were so fast, and action packed like a super flick. Chance "T-Bone" Furlong and Jake "Razor" Clawson are the 2 ex paramilitary ‘Kats’ who live in a junkyard and build super gadgets, including� a mad fighter jet, out of their scrap. The main villain is Dark Kat, and the city is MegaKat city, a feline inhabited version of New York City, depicted very well in the cartoons. The slick animation, and highly saturated color schemes were just another reason for this series being great. They made only 25 complete episodes, and these are worth watching repeatedly.
