10 Underrated TV Series

It's the 21st Century and with the amount of technology available today, it's merely impossible to fall asleep before 2 am. I find myself lost in alternative realities among the hottest of British men, the angst of teen heart breakers and the emotional roller coasters of life. Without the help of prescribed sleeping pills, I have to face the fact that I will never have a normal sleeping pattern. With this said, I have fallen in love with television shows that most people have yet to hear of, but never fear I have compiled a list to help your virgin soul.

10. The Mindy Project

The Mindy Project, created by none other than herself Mindy Kaling or should we say Beyonce Pad Thai (her warrior name). This show follows gynecologist Mindy Lahiri, as she strives to balance her professional and personal life. Her quick witted comebacks and lovable sense of humour easily make her a spirit animal for a lot of young women in the world, proving that a woman has every right to kick ass every now and then (verbally and metaphorically). 

9. My Mad Fat Diary

My Mad Fat Diary is an E4 comedy drama, that revolves around the life of 16 year old  Rae (Rachel or Ramundo) Earl. The series starts with 230 pound Rae, leaving the local psychiatric hospital in which she has been located for 4 months. Starting life again after a depression that nearly took her life, she begins to reconnect with her old best friend ending up with a series of love scandals and friends she'll never forget. This series is painfully honest and real for a lot of overweight teenagers and although it seems a bit depressing, its humour keeps you coming back each time for more.

8. Suits

Although Suits premiered in late 2011, this show seriously needs to be shown a little more love. Suits revolves around Mike Ross a college dropout with photogenic memory tied up in drug dealing and upon delivering marijuana he realizes it to be a sting operation . Running from the police, he runs into an interviewing session and meets Harvey Spectre a Harvard graduated lawyer for the law firm Pearson Hardman who's looking for a new associate fresh out of Harvard University. One thing leads to another and this former drug dealer begins his Law career without any qualification, leading to a series of mishaps. Watch this show if you want to understand law a little more, as sexy as Harvey Spectre is, this show is educational and sassy.

7. Bob's Burgers

Honestly, this needs no explanation the GIF should say it all. Bobs Burgers is a cartoon tv series based on the family's burger restaurant.Okay okay, I'm not even going to bother explaining it because there honestly isn't really a plot line its just a more risque version of The Simpsons. I've found myself scared that I'd suffocate from laughing too hard.

6. Community

Community, very similar to The Mindy Project is based on a group of undergraduates studying at a community college. A comedic version of The Breakfast Club, begins with Jeff (Joel Hale) having to study a Bachelor in Law as he falsely claimed to have had one upon working at a law firm. Through this he forms a study group in hopes of picking up quick witted and pretty Britta, which ends up forming a group of 7 polar opposites. This show has a character we all aspire to be.

5. Hannibal

Hannibal, based on the novels and movies. This TV show is seriously overlooked, I mean I can understand why as its already a movie, why watch the TV series? This series draws you in with just little smirks every now and then. This show is a mixture of Sherlock, CSI and cannibalism every now and then. Not for the faint hearted.

4. Awkward

Awkward on MTV, centered around teen angst, heartbreak and some seriously hilarious insults. This show follows Jenna Hamilton, a nobody in high school who loses her virginity to a popular football player triggering hate from the school cheerleaders. Such a simple plot, but definitely worth the watch. 

3. Orange is The New Black

Orange is The New Black revolves around a woman who assisted smuggling drugs for her girlfriend that worked at an international drug cartel. As a result of this, a year later she surrenders herself to the police ultimately being sentenced to a women's prison. Where not only is she confronted by racism, but her past comes back to haunt her changing her world completely. This show definitely deserves a lot more views. 

2. Sherlock

Sherlock! I tried getting my brother hooked on this show just like I am but his age just isnt this target audience. The title is self explanatory as to what this show is about, but in all seriousness NO ONE plays Sherlock Holmes better then Benedict Cumberbatch. His low humming voice and his lack of emotion kick major booty in this show and you'd be an absolute fool not to give it ago. This show comprises of 3 episodes in season 1 all movie length, the perfect quality for binge watching. 

1. Orphan Black

THIS IS THE MOST UNDERRATED SHOW EVER.
Tatiana Maslany is an actress waiting for her big break, but this is just it. THIS SHOW SHOULD BE.
This show seriously, should be getting serious awards and Tatiana should be on Time Magazine for her pristine acting. Orphan Black is circled around single mum Sarah Manning who after a run up with the law and drugs, her relationship with her 7 year old daughter is coming to a point of lost custody. While her daughter resides with Sarah's foster mother, Sarah runs into a woman at the train station that looks exactly identical to her before she jumps in front of a train. 

This leads to Sarah stealing her identical look a like's identity in order to start fresh with daughter. But little did she know, she not only had one look a like but 9 more waiting in the shadows. Each look a like is from a different region in the world with completely different personalities, with merely their molecular DNA and appearance tying them together.
