‘Watching English TV Series’ and ‘Reading Books‘, are the only two things in my life that I’m good at, and especially now during the lockdown when I have nothing more to do.
When I say ‘English TV Series’ that doesn’t mean I hate ‘Hindi Series’ and why would I? There’s no reason to! Look at ‘Sasural Simar ka’. Oh, I know, I’m damn funny
Just kidding, I love what TVF and The Timeliners are doing these days. They’re really making some great series but hey, we are here to talk about the best English TV series, so let’s dive in.
