The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, who also served as the show's executive producers along with Steven Molaro.

It follows the lives of three diverse families connected through Jay Pritchett, living in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

The series revolves around three distinct family dynamics—nuclear, blended, and same-sex—who are all linked through Jay Pritchett and his children, Claire and Mitchell. Jay, the patriarch, is remarried to a younger Colombian immigrant, Gloria Delgado Pritchett, with whom he has a young son, Fulgencio Joseph 'Joe' Pritchett, and Gloria’s son, Manuel 'Manny' Delgado, from a previous marriage. Jay’s ex-wife, Dede, and Gloria’s ex-husband, Javier, also make regular appearances.

Claire, Jay’s daughter, starts as a stay-at-home mom but later returns to the workforce and becomes the CEO of her father’s business, Pritchett’s Closet & Blinds. She’s married to Phil Dunphy, a real estate agent, self-proclaimed ‘cool dad,’ and an amateur magician. Together, they have three children: Haley, the rebellious teenager; Alex, the intelligent, bookish second daughter; and Luke, the quirky youngest son. Haley’s on-again, off-again boyfriend, Dylan, is a recurring character.

This beloved sitcom, created by Mitch Hurwitz, became so iconic that it helped revive dead TV shows on streaming platforms. And even though you’ve probably watched the first three classic seasons countless times, the writer assures you there’s always a joke you might have missed.

Leslie Knope is a dedicated mid-level official working in the Parks and Recreation Department of a small Indiana town. She aims to transform a neglected construction site into a community park, but her seemingly simple project faces numerous hurdles. These obstacles come from a variety of sources, including uninformed bureaucrats, selfish neighbors, and general political red tape.

Her colleague, Tom Haverford, seems more interested in using his position for personal gain, which threatens to derail her efforts. Meanwhile, her boss, Ron Swanson, is a staunch libertarian who opposes government in all forms, despite holding a government job himself.

The Good Place is a unique sitcom created by Michael Schur, the mastermind behind other iconic comedies such as The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The series has concluded with its fourth season and is now available for streaming on Netflix. So, what makes this show so special that you shouldn't miss it?

The story follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell), a woman from Arizona who finds herself in the afterlife's 'Good Place' due to her selfless acts during her lifetime. She is welcomed by Michael (Ted Danson), the architect of this utopian paradise, and Janet (D'Arcy Carden), an all-knowing robot guide. Eleanor's new world offers her everything she could ever desire.

However, things take a turn when Eleanor confides in Chidi Anagonye (William Jackson Harper), a philosophy professor and her 'soulmate' in the Good Place, that she doesn't actually belong there. From that point on, Chidi helps Eleanor keep her secret while guiding her on a journey to become a better person, in hopes of earning her rightful place in the afterlife.

The central theme of The Good Place revolves around ethics and philosophy: What does it truly mean to be a good person? What defines right and wrong? In this world, your actions on Earth determine whether you end up in the Good Place or the Bad Place. If your good deeds outweigh the bad, your score will reflect this and potentially grant you entry into what you once believed was heaven. Simple enough, right? But as the show progresses, it presents even more complex moral dilemmas.

The Office (Chuyện Văn Phòng) has long been one of the most-watched series on Netflix, and during the COVID-19 lockdown, hundreds of thousands of viewers found themselves drawn to this classic. According to Variety, The Office became the most-watched show of the week starting March 2nd (excluding Netflix's own productions), adding 189,000 viewers in just one week.

Based on the original British version, which starred Ricky Gervais, the American version of The Office has won the hearts of fans not just for its nine-season run (compared to the British version's three), but for its relatable and unforgettable characters. Jim and Pam's endearing office romance and Dwight's obsequious behavior toward his boss are just a few highlights. The ongoing debate over which boss is 'better'—Michael Scott or David Brent (played by Steve Carell and Ricky Gervais, respectively)—is a classic. While David’s motivation is to be admired by others, Michael’s character is driven by his desire to be part of a world he often feels left out of, which, ironically, makes him even more lovable.

How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from September 19, 2005, to March 31, 2014. Set in Manhattan, the show follows Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) and his circle of friends, including Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel), Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan), and Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris). Narrated by Ted in 2030, the series tells the story of how he met his children's mother.

The show was created by Craig Thomas and Carter Bays, who based it on their own friendship when they moved to New York City. Over its 208 episodes, four directors contributed, including Pamela Fryman (196 episodes), Rob Greenberg (7 episodes), Michael Shea (4 episodes), and Neil Patrick Harris (1 episode). The final season aired in 2013 and concluded in 2014, sparking controversy due to its ending, which divided critics and fans alike.

At the heart of the show is Ted’s search for his soulmate, which he recounts to his kids. At 27, Ted decides he’s ready to settle down after his roommate Marshall proposes to his college girlfriend Lily. With the help of his friend Barney, Ted embarks on a quest to find his “one true love.” The series, known for its humor, offers a great opportunity for learning English, thanks to its clever dialogue and unforgettable characters.
