Promo "Park Avenue, 666"

There will be few hits in the new television season. Among the most anticipated are “Avenue Park, 666”/666 Park Avenue on the ABC channel and “Political Animal Animal Animals on USA Network. Old leaders ("Doctor House"/House MD, "Mad Mad Men) closed, so there is a question: what to look. The New Times studied the ratings of popular trackers - the resources from which users download films - and made a list of the most interesting sequels

The senior resources are “your” Rutracker, where the series are laid out with translation into Russian, and the English -language international. The file exchange system is decentralized, so it is difficult to determine the number of users accurately. If Rutracker considers not only what is downloaded at the moment, but shows previous requests, then The Pirate Bay gives only current statistics.
The frequency of requests and downloading is currently leading “Real Blood”/True Blood (USA, HBO channel, 2008). The fifth season ends, which, incidentally, turned out to be much better than the third and fourth. The series was shot according to the books of Charlene Harris, who was one of the first to write in the genre of “Women's Vampire Roman”. The tie of the story is that the Japanese invented artificial blood, and the vampires came out of the shadows, saying that they no longer need to drink people and they want freedom, equality, tolerance and civil rights. And the world rolled over. Some accepted this news with enthusiasm, others grabbed guns with wooden bullets. The story unfolds in the surroundings of the American South, and this circumstance is remarkably beaten.
The main character - the waitress of the juices from the village in Louisian - falls in love with the vampire of Bill and is admitted to all kinds of adventure life -threatening. Harris deftly twists stories and, which is atypical for love novels, does not avoid acute topics, in this case - “where will tolerance lead us”? And the series is even better. He is “black”, hard, very spectacular. The juices performed by Anna Pakuin (the actress is very good) seems to be a hopeless idiot, and it is terribly annoying at first, but if you read the novel, it becomes clear that she is: an ordinary girl who shines only to become a younger manager in a restaurant, and then vampires, witches, ancient deities and werewolves suddenly fall on her head.
“All Great”/Breaking Bad (USA, AMC channel, 2008). This is again a series in the Noir genre - about a chemistry teacher who gets cancer and realizes that, in addition to debts, he will not leave anything to the family. Therefore, he decides not to be treated and is engaged in drug production. The paradox and the attractiveness of his personality is that, on the one hand, he, on the one hand, is a naive and at the very beginning of a damn unmarried and unlucky dragdler, but at the same time smart, with an excellent reaction, a cold -blooded person who calmly decides to dissolve several corpses in the bathroom. He takes his former student to his partners, who is known as a small dealer of methamphetamine, and together they plunge into troubles one after another.
The main feature of the series is that it is hidden in the most ordinary man at first glance. The plot is very masculine, it is about complexes, and about the fears, and about the hopes of a man - again the usual, and not the super -blacksherier.
“Game of Thrones”/Game of Thrones (USA, HBO channel, 2011) is a fantastic series, and his ratings are also fantastic. On the IMDB website (the most complete and authoritative resource about films, actors and film collection) the Games rating is 9.4, and 190 thousand people voted for it, which can be considered a sensation, since IMDB does not specialize in the series. Probably, these series have fulfilled the cherished dreams of fans of science fiction - here they not only show a very carefully invented world, but it is also very expensive: the pilot series, according to rumors, from $ 5 million to $ 10 million, and the creation of the first episode cost $ 60 million.
The plot is based on George Martin’s book “The Song of Ice and Fire”: a civil war begins on a fictional continent of Westeros. The king of the seven kingdoms invites an old friend to take the place of the murdered right hand (chief adviser), after which the world plunges into intrigues, battles and other secret passions. Screenwriter David Benioff himself describes the story as "Saprano clan in Middle -earth." Frankly, the story is completely teenage, but at some point you are drawn by, and you can no longer wait for the next episode.
The eighth season of the series "Shokers"/Weeds (USA, Showtime Channel, 2005) is still popular. The series began perfectly: it was a cynical, but a funny story about a widow, which remained with two children and huge debts. The heroine very quickly understands that everyone was cute with her, only while the family had money. And as soon as it becomes obvious that she is poor - both she and her children will fly out of the circle. And then Nancy decides to sell grass. There is no such rigid naturalism as in “all heavy”, but in the first two seasons everything is more or less realistic: the newly-minted Dragdleler is pushed into all conceivable troubles, turns from a glamorous, albeit smart suburban wife into a clever criminal. But somewhere already from the third season, there begins to start. The scriptwriters focus on love adventures, apparently recalling the deafening success of the “Roman with a Stone”, where the Klisha writer becomes a super-sexual adventurer. Nancy suddenly turns into the most desired girl for all the men she meets, and at some point it becomes terribly tiring.
The cartoon "Futurama" (USA, 20TH Century Fox, 1999) lived until the seventh season. This is the ingenious project of Matt Gruning, the author of the Simpsons. The hero of the Mult, the loser, the pizza breaker Fry accidentally finds himself in the cryogenic frost chamber and wakes up in the 21st century in the new New York. There he meets a one-eyed girl-mutant Lila and Robot Bender, who is trying to commit suicide. According to the DNA test, they find a 150-year-old PRO ... The great-grandson of Fry, the eccentric professor of Farnworth. The professor is engaged in intergalactic postal transportation - so Fry receives a new job and life full of strange adventures.
Fans of grunning are divided into fans of the Simpsons and the admirers of Futurama. It is believed that after the “Futurama” “Simpsons” seem fresh - there is a sharper humor, a more surreal plot, and the heroes are not just exaggerated inhabitants, but such bright eccentrics: the robot Bender, for example, became a cult character printed on T -shirts and whose quotes repeat thousands of people around the world.
The first five seasons went in a row until 2003-and this is already a classic learned by heart, but in 2010 a new season appeared, and in 2012-the seventh. The last two seasons are weaker than the “classic” “Futurama”, but it still makes sense to watch them, since they have not yet come up with anything.
