Written at the beginning: In fact, many American dramas can make people learn something, whether it is professional, or about life, or about human nature, except for a few soap operas that are really boring.

However, since there are really too many seasons of American TV series, appropriate selection is also necessary, so let's go~~~

A few are highly recommended:

1 "Grey's Anatomy", 2005-, ABC

It is a medical theme, and it is touching and inspirational.

A popular primetime television series in the United States, this series focuses on a group of young people trying to become doctors, and doctors trying to stay human.

The intense training of doctors is mixed with a lot of comedy and sexual elements, revealing that in the painful lives of intern doctors, whether it is drugs or interpersonal relationships, they cannot simply be explained in black and white. Definition, real life is actually like shades of grey.

2 "Hustle", 2004-2010

British dramas can teach people a lot about deception techniques. They actually educate people to beware of being deceived.

If you watch the first episode of the first season, you will understand the charm of the film. Whether it is the plot setting, the choice of starring actors or the shooting techniques, it should be regarded as one of the most popular British dramas in recent years. Yes, it seems that there are six seasons in one series, but the number of episodes in each season is relatively small.

A theft drama with twists and turns, bizarre and suspenseful twists and turns, telling the story of a five-member fraud gang. There is one case in each episode. They only defraud greedy people, those who expect to get something for nothing, and those who have ill-gotten wealth. people. "Hustle" For the gang, Mickey is the leader, he is extremely intelligent, and all the crime plans come from him. Albert was an experienced con man. In his later years, he played the role of a "trapper", looking for suitable victims and then leading the victims into the trap of the "Legion". Ash designs the most reasonable situations and the most convenient tools to use, so that your vigilance will fall into the most common situations. Stacie is always ready to use her feminine charm to help small gangs commit crimes successfully, and no one can evade the tricks of beautiful women. Is this enough? No. The team became perfect after a young con man named Danny was taken under Mickey's wing.

3 "Being Erica"

This is a Canadian drama, but I like it very much.

The protagonist of the story, Erica, like many ordinary people, is struggling in life. She has many problems in work, family, and relationships. Suddenly, at the lowest point of her life, a man who claims to be a psychiatrist appears. , telling her that it can help her go back to the regrets she cares about in the past and change everything that happened...

This drama has two major highlights:

a. The return here Changes in the past are not what some people think. As long as you change, you will be successful. Winning the Mark Six Lottery is as easy as drinking water. No one knows how the changed world will change. The gains may be minimal, or even worse. It reinterprets the meaning of time travel. What is important is not the changes in the world, but your own understanding. change.

b. There are a lot of famous quotes in the story, which give people deep insights. I like many of them very much.

It is said that the show will also have an American version this year, which gives people high expectations. In addition, the third season that is being updated is very different from the stories of the first two seasons. It can be said that it is getting better every season. .

4 "Boardwalk Empire" Boardwalk Empire, 2010, HBO

In addition to the discussion of human nature, it can also provide a good understanding of American history after World War II.

The show only lasts for one season and has 12 episodes. After its release, it has been hailed as a rare classic. It has a gangster theme and feels like the Godfather. It is very interesting to watch.

The male lead of the play, Steve Buscemi, is also considered a recognized actor in Hollywood. He has participated in many blockbusters, such as "Big Fish" and "The Sopranos" etc., although he only plays a small supporting role, I personally admire him. The play finally allowed more people to see his talent. At this year's Golden Globe Awards, he finally won the Best Actor in a TV Drama category for this play.

"Boardwalk Empire", executive produced by Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award winner director Martin Scorsese, premiered at 20:00 pm on September 19th, North American time. This historical drama, gangster drama, and melodrama produced heavily by HBO is adapted from Nelson Johnson's non-fiction literary work "Boardwalk Empire: The Rise and Fall of a City." It is reported that despite the high licensing fee, relevant media in 160 countries around the world have purchased the broadcast rights of the show, making the show surpass "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" to become the "best-selling" drama in HBO's history.

5 "Criminal Minds" Criminal Minds, 2005-, CBS

This one is as its name suggests. Compared with the previous recommendations, its characteristic lies in the analysis of the psychology of the case. It's very direct and detailed, and contains famous quotes from each episode.

One serial perverted murder case after another brings us not only visual and psychological impact, but also spiritual shock. It's an older one.

6 "Mad Men", 2007-, AMC

I learned a lot about the adult world and about shopping malls.

The story is set in New York in the 1960s, boldly describing the brutal business competition in the golden age of the American advertising industry.

7 "The Event", 2010-, NBC

It can be said that it is a drama that only smart people can understand, and it will definitely exercise your logical ability.

A science fiction-themed political conspiracy film, the story-telling techniques and screenwriting are very intriguing, highly recommended~~

"Shocking" is a very complex drama, each of which People who have watched the first episode said, "My head is about to explode." In this series, there are government conspiracies, shocking secrets, wise but stupid leaders, treacherous villains, mysterious organizations, unknown people who suddenly become the focus, foolish and loyal government agents, mysterious missing beauties, and mysterious whereabouts. Girls, heroes, politicians, police, agents, ordinary people... there are all the characters that should be found in a suspense drama. In addition, the show also has a strong supernatural overtones - a plane suddenly disappearing from the sky at the end of the first episode is an example.

"Shocking" uses a more difficult-to-understand memory technique than "Lost". Each episode will have a large number of "parallel plots" that happened in the past. For example, in the first episode, the story spans 13 months (from 13 months ago to 23 minutes ago).

"Shocking" also uses the same "macro + micro" approach as "24". The upcoming "big events" involve the whole world, but the main story revolves around the daily life of small people. unfolded. This "little man" never dreamed that his proposal to his girlfriend would lead to a "big conspiracy" that would shock the world.

Here are a few more movies:

1 "The Mentalist", 2008-, CBS

The theme of this drama is mystery, and each episode basically has a story. Since the protagonist was once a psychic, the focus is on the psychology of the characters and the weaknesses of human nature. The opening of the first season may not be gorgeous, but it is a little patient. It will be very rewarding to read it.

One of the few dramas that I have never missed in an episode. Compared with "lie to me", it is a detective drama with a distinct main line. The male lead is the biggest highlight, and I highly recommend it as the second one. season.

The plot setting seems to be very similar to the popular "Superman" currently being broadcast by CBS. But there is one significant difference between the two: this drama is based on real people. The series is inspired by the real-life research of behavioral expert Dr. Paul Ekman, who can uncover clues buried deep in people's faces, bodies and voices, and then reveal the truth and lies in criminal investigations.

It is also a medical theme, and it also uses the stories of many patients in a very delicate way, which makes people feel deeply.

8 "Nikita" Nikita, 2010-, CW

A story about agents and revenge, learn about a different world.

This is a work that has been put on the silver screen several times by Hollywood. As a script setting with a former female agent as the protagonist, it is very brilliant. There is another highlight in the new remake of this show in 2010, and that is Maggie Q.
