Along the way, he is opposed by a private investigator sent by Winston Churchill, the Communist Party of England, the Irish Republican Army, and an assortment of powerful rival gangs.

The show is based off when the patriarch of a prominent family dies, his/heirs battle to determine who will gain control of his beloved soccer team: The Cuervos of Nuevo Toledo. This show is a great way to try to branch off towards a different type of entertainment, especially the Spanish language which they do include subtitles for you. The programming wasn't just to target the Spanish speaking audiences, but to any viewer who enjoys a comedy series.

Parks, Michael (MW) Marvel's Luke Cage

Luke Cage, is a Netflix-original series by Cheo Coker, based on the Marvel Comic character Luke Cage. It is set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with Marvel movies and is the third in a line up of shows that will lead up to 'The Defenders' crossover miniseries. Mike Colter stars as Luke Cage, a former convict with superhuman strength and unbreakable skin who now fights crime. Mahershala Ali, Simone Missick, Theo Rossi, Erik LaRay, Rosario Dawson, Alfre Woodard in season one. Colter was cast as Cage, to appear in Jessica Jones first. The story is about Luke Cage trying to rebuild his life in Harlem and must soon confront his past and fight for his city. I believe it's worth watching because it has a lot of hidden messages that relate to the world we live in today. Luke Cage is the first comicbook show to star a Black hero, which I think is important because representation matters. Overall the series is great and is one of Netflix's best original shows.

Each episode starts off with a quote that is related to the plot of the respective episode, in order to give the viewer some sort of direction of where the episode will take them.

Thomison, Isaac (TTh) Haters Back Off

Haters Back Off is a Netflix-original comedy series, starring Executive Producer Colleen Ballinger as the lead character "Miranda Sings." The show is based off of Ballinger's very successful character "Miranda Sings" from her YouTube channel, that has amassed millions of subscribers. The story centers around the day to day life of Miranda, an overly confident, self-absorbed, sheltered, and untalented young "performer." Each episode focuses on her road to fame, as well as the crazy adventures that she goes on with her weird uncle, timid mother, and overly responsible sister. Miranda also learns that there is a price to pay along the way for not caring about the feelings of others. I believe that this show is worth the watch due to the simple fact that it is hilarious. The amount of insane things that Miranda and her uncle execute just in order for Miranda to become famous is ridiculous, and that doesn't even include the rest of the stellar cast with their own sets of personal issues. It's good programming because they knew who their target audience was (young people--primarily millennials who watch Ballinger's YouTube channels), and they knew how to reach them (many younger viewers primarily use subscription based services such as Netflix or Hulu).

Kalbitz, Kathryn (TTH) Mercy Street 10

Mercy Street is a PBS show based on the civil war-era that is centered around a hospital and the rise of alliances and their inevitable failures. This "hospital" is actually a hotel in Alexandria, Va. that has been converted into a hospital by the Union Army. The main character is a volunteer abolitionist nurse named, Mary. It is a show centered around loyalty and the lack there of in this hotel turned hospital during an extremely controversial time in American history. I think this show is extremely diverse due to its "history channel" type feel and alluring dramatic twists. This is why I'd like to share it with the class.

This is a show about David and Tamela Mann. A married couple who have gained notoriety for many films and plays that they've done.

Ross, Tamara (TTh), Shannara Chronicles 100

Shannara Chronicles is a weird, pumped up science fiction show on Netflix, and really of the first one of its kind. Netflix was the first to become this massive streaming entity that took over our lives, and I feel that way about this show, as well. In an era of digital media, the technology they used to develop the monsters and demons in this show is beyond its time. I'm pitching it to you because despite the shows you've seen, this is in a different realm, in the world of elves and demons, and a magical tree that holds the essence to life. It brings out the inner dork in all of us. https://youtu.be/rCr3z_sTSNU

The stars real names are actually the same first names of their characters- Julie Kessler and Billy Epstein. The executive producers are Amy Poehler, Dave Becky, and Michele Armor. Since this series is a Hulu original- it's paid for through subscription to Hulu as well as advertising. There are currently two seasons.

Harris, Logan (TTh) Vice Principals 100

I think Vice Principles is a good television program for many reasons. One of those reasons is the great cast the show features, including Danny Mcbride. Also the creators of the show feature some of the same creators of 'Eastbound and Down', which is , to me personally, one of the funniest shows I've come across.

Shol, Rheisha (MW) Almost Royal 100

Almost Royal is a BBC comedy that follows the lives of two clueless British aristocrats, Georgie and Poppy Carlton, granting their father's dying wish that his children visit the country he loved so dearly. The Carlton siblings leave their home of England and hit the road documenting every step of their journey across the United States. I enjoy watching this show because it's funny and it takes you on their adventure where they interact with real-life, unsuspecting everyday Americans.

King, Brandon (TR) Resident Advisors 10

Resident Advisors is a hilarious Hulu original series that I first discovered a year ago. It follows a group of resident advisors in a newly constructed dorm as well as all of the mostly freshman who stay in the dorm. It deals with real life issues that many new college kids moving away from home go through while also being outrageously funny and inappropriate at times. It's clear why the show is something that we as students can relate to and while it is a comedy I believe it does help deal or better understand issues dealt with in college.

Gonzalez, Jonathan (TTh) F is for Family 100

In "F is for Family, viewers follow the lives of the Murphy family in an animated sitcom placed during the 1970's. A big part about the show uses a nostalgia factor to appeal to older audiences that are old enough to remember the time period, and appreciate the satirical look at the 70's the show's creators are going for. Even viewers that aren't old enough to remember the 70's will be able to enjoy the raunchy, ridiculous comedy of the show that tends to follow something close to what animated shows like Family Guy and American Dad go for. It's thanks to a partnership between Netflix, Gaumont International Television, and Wild West Television that the show's creation came about. The show's executive producers include Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsley, and Bill Burr, who's standup comedy provided the the basis for much of the show's material.

Neely, Trevor (MW) The Boondocks 100

The Boondocks is an American television program based off a comic strip and created by Aaron McGruder. The comic strip gained much traction and was syndicated to make its debut in newspapers in 1999. Development of a TV series also began at this time and after a few mishaps of being called too "networky", McGruder began to tell stories in the series. The Boondocks is a fictional story about a black family, the Freemans, who have settled in a mostly white suburban neighborhood of Woodcrest, Illinois. The main characters are Huey and Riley, two boys who live with their granddad. Huey is more of the level headed character with a revolutionary spirit. Riley, on the other hand, is more of the loud-mouthed character with a short fuse. They are two preteen boys who must face many obstacles in their daily lives that often get them into deep trouble with the people of Woodcrest. It is worth the view if one is looking for a show that offers a perspective that mixes cultures, social classes, racial identities and stereotypes to provide for a very satirical portrayal of comedy and conflict. A.) The executive producers of this show is Aaron McGruder, Reginald Hudlin, Rodney Barnes, Brian J. Cowan, and Carl Jones. B.) The show has been distributed through Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and is currently available to stream on Netflix and Amazon Video.

Ferris, Emily (TTh) Love 100

"Love" is a romantic comedy that portrays the dating world from a practical point of view from both male and female perspectives by building character development between the stars Mickey and Gus. Mickey, the female lead, is the rebellious one, while Gus is the kind-hearted type. The two contrast in a perfectly awkward way. The show is quirky and fun while also staying in touch with real-world dating situations rather than putting on the hollywood mask of coincidental and carefree love.

"Love" was produced by Judd Apatow, Paul Rust and Lesley Arfin. Apatow is known for The 40-Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and many more, while Rust and Afrin are the stars of the show itself. The program is funded by Netflix who started their own set of original series of TV shows

Munoz, Vianey (TTh) Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse 100

Barbie Life in the dreamhouse is a tv series about barbie and her friends. The show is set up to be a mock reality tv show. it features character "interviews" throught the episode that let the character explain the situations of the show in their own way. Though this show is targeted towards a very young audience, i think that it can be an enjoyable experience for adults too. The humor that this show displays is very immature and childish but that is what makes it funny. While watching it i found myself judging its stupidity so harshly that it became an enjoyable experience. Theres not much to learn from this show but its a very good passtime (a) executive producers include stephen gallop, rob hudnut, and kallan kagan. (b) Barbie life in the dreamhoue can be found on Netflix, Barbie.com, and youtube. it is produced by arc productions an distributed by mattel.

Cota, LeeAnn (MW) Weediquette 100

Weediquette started out as a web serier on the VICE Youtube channel but soon became a full running TV series. Vice correspondent, Krishna Andavolu hosts the show and is able to put a different perspective on the world of cannabis. He travels all around the US and even parts out of the country to show viewers the various effects cannabis can cause. I believe this show is capable of reaching a bigger audience, although it may seem like a niche series. I think it can help viewers further understand the negative and positive issues/situations that pertain to cannabis use in the US. It is not just a show about a bunch of stoners and potheads. It exceeds beyond that and will undoubtedly teach you more than just about the commercialized recreational use of cannabis. (a) Executive producers of the show include Jordan Roberts, Shane Smith, Eddy Moretti, and Spike Jonze. (b) Weediquette airs on VICELAND, which is a channel owned and programmed by VICE media. The U.S. TV channel is owned mainly by A&E Networks and can be seen through either through the Dish Netowrk or DirecTV which are direct-broadcast satellite service providers.
