Hi guys it Debbie and today I would like to speak about what I consider the best
series of 2017, including new seasons which have been released this year. This
video is part of a trilogy which includes a new video tomorrow, which will
be on what I consider the worst films of 2017 and then another one on the best
films of the year. You will find the links to them in description box below,
where you can also already find the links to all my complete reviews of the
series I will speak about today. A note to the side, the timing of this video is
pretty bad because by the time it will be uploaded Netflix will have just
released the new season of "Black Mirror", and although I have no clue how it's
going to be, I would have still liked to be able to speak about and compare it to
other series. So for now let's get started with the first series on the
list today which is the fourth season of "Sherlock", a crime series starring
Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as the modern version of Sherlock Holmes
and John Watson. This series is notable for the long waiting time between one
season and the other and for its limited number of episodes, so to be completely
honest this fourth season did not kick off in the best manner back in January
when it was released because it had such a huge gap to cover and a ton of
information to convey. But as the plot moved on it rewarded the audience with
material which reminded us of why "Sherlock" is so great, why the fans love
it so much. In particular the third and final episode presented Sherlock's
analytic genius at its best, with the maze of information which explored the
deepest tunnels of his mind and his emotions, with dilemmas about the
importance of friendship, the meaning of family, true love and hate, suppressed
memories. I don't want to reveal too much about this episode or the other two, but
let me just say it was an emotional rollercoaster from beginning to end, with
Cumberbatch and Freeman at their best, with new and unexpected characters and
developments in the plot. At this point I nearly feel that even if the series
might not be renewed for a fifth season, this could be the awesome ending it
deserved. The next series I'd like to speak about is "Dark",
Netflix's first German original series. "Dark" is the perfect title for a plot
which covers the mysterious disappearance of two teenage boys. During
the time of the disappearances other odd events begin to happen, disfigured
corpses begin to appear and soon the older villagers begin to recognise
similarities with events which had taken place 33 years earlier, with one
character in particular insisting upon the importance of time.
The plot is deep and layered with criss crossings and references to different
decades, dozens of characters, we pick up clues to the case from different eras
and before long we start to suspect of everybody and the tiny town and its
inhabitants doesn't appear as innocent as it used to. Don't worry if many of the
promotional images and trailers reminded you of "Stranger Things", it is a
completely different concept. On the contrary if you're interested in other
types of works such as "Donnie Darko" or "The OA", I think you'll love this series.
It is a creepy and in some points macabre storyline, a perfectly constructed mind
puzzle which will actually make you pause the series to think about what is
going on in front of your eyes. As we were speaking of "Stranger Things" I would
like to move on with the list by speaking about the series' second season which was
released around Halloween time to what felt like an unprecedented international
hype. There has been a lot of criticism surrounding this second season of
"Stranger Things" and although I agree that there were some elements that could
have been completely cut out, I still feel that they were just a small
fraction of the entire work and that this season was an excellent example of
positive development of a plot and of a series of characters. After the huge
success the first season had obtained, I feared that the second season would have
just been riding on the wave of popularity, playing on the love for Eleven, the
affection for other characters, in general not worrying so much about
creating a good story as long as we pay to get to see Mike and Eleven, Nancy and Steve
and some cool retro vintage shots. But instead the plot took a whole new twist,
focusing on different elements of the story which had just been introduced
with the first season, giving us a deeper insight into many characters and in
general not only just homaging the first season but bringing it a long way further.
So at this point I am no longer fearful for what will be in the upcoming seasons.
The next series I would like to speak about is "13 Reasons Why", which is
probably the work that stands out today as the most different on this list. "13
Reasons Why" it is not your usual, fun coming-of-age story, it's not a happy
story. It's the very straightforward story of a teenager which committed
suicide after months (if not longer) of suffering. Before making her final choice
our main character Hannah left a set of cassettes to
all the people she considered responsible for her death, pointing out
what they did and what they could have improved. So the series follows all the
various characters listening to the tapes and in particular one of the main
characters, Clay Jensen, therefore mapping out all of Hannah's
life and what she was going through. This series feels like a punch in the stomach
because it is very realistic, very down-to-earth and it shows (even in a
very graphic manner) exactly what happened... right until the end. It doesn't
blur out, censor, cut. It shows everything and it shows us how we are behaving like
a society of cold-hearted monsters, which we'll never stop to consider
what is coming out of our mouths or what we are doing, disregarding the effect
our actions can have on others. This series has received a lot of criticism
by who argued that Hannah was just a spoiled teenager complaining about
trivial matters, but although some of the things she included in her tapes were
not that "relevant" as others, most of the events she went through were deeply
traumatising and seen as a part of a bigger scheme we can tell how everything,
even the smallest and apparently more insignificant details, all came together
to form the weight that dragged her down. If we picture ourselves in our daily
lives, how many times have we been through a rough moment or even through a
really messed up day? And then somebody comes up and says a small thing or we
notice a small detail and that apparently small thing makes us feel a
million times worse and we just end up being completely angry or crying our eyes
out? It's not the small thing. That small thing was nearly insignificant compared
to the others, but it's everything all together. And if for once we just stopped
and thought about the consequences of our behaviour maybe the world would be a
better place. So I appreciated "13 Reasons Why" for its realistic portrayal of its
themes, offering us a straightforward approach to the topic
which I believe is way more effective and educational than just sugarcoating
everything. The last series I'd like to speak about today is "A Series of
Unfortunate Events". This work is based on a series of books of the same name
written by Lemony Snicket and stars Neil Patrick Harris as the deranged, evil,
frugal Count Olaf, which desperately tries to obtain custody of his distant
relatives, the Baudelaire children, but just with the intent of getting
hands on the enormous fortune that they inherited from their deceased parents. I
had seen the film of the same name starring Jim Carrey as Count Olaf and I
had loved it, so I feared that the creators of the series could never be
able to reach the same level of dark humor and craziness its predecessor had
reached. But they made it... and excelled at it. In the Netflix series Count Olaf is
completely insane and Neil Patrick Harris gave us a mind-blowing portrayal
of this bohemian wannabe actor, which lives within his own crazy world, doing
anything humanly conceivable in order to get his hands on the Baudelaire
children. I loved all his behaviours, his thoughts, his way of moving around and
speaking. And the thing I loved the most of the series were the dialogues.
Everything in the series is presented as deadpan serious but at the same time
there are countless puns, references to the author, plays on words, jokes that you
can't help but not burst out in laughter. If you're not familiar with the film or
the series it's very hard to describe this odd manner of presenting the themes,
so I would recommend watching it. And that's all for this year's best series,
let me know if you agree with my list and what you would consider the best
shows of 2017. Remember you'll find the links to all my complete reviews of the
