‘Bosch’ (2014–2021)
Developed by Eric Overmyer and inspired by the novels of Michael Connelly, Bosch is a police procedural series starring Titus Welliver as LAPD detective Harry Bosch. The show explores Bosch’s various cases and his personal and professional struggles as he tries to ensure justice is served. Besides Welliver, the series also stars Jamie Hector, Amy Aquino, Lance Reddick, Annie Wersching, Sarah Clarke, Madison Lintz, and more in key roles.
An engaging, if not very inventive, procedural, Bosch was quite favorably received during its seven-season run. The series earned praise from fans and critics alike for effectively recreating the vibe of its source material, as well as for its gritty style, excellent performances, and suspenseful writing. The show has also inspired multiple spin-offs, including the sequel series Bosch: Legacy, the spin-off Ballard, and the upcoming prequel show, Bosch: Start of Watch.

‘American Horror Story: Murder House’ (2011)
Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, American Horror Story is by far one of the most iconic horror shows of the 21st century. The anthology’s first season, retroactively titled Murder House, centers on a family who move into a restored mansion in the aftermath of personal tragedies and discover that the house is haunted by the ghosts of its former residents. The season’s ensemble cast includes Connie Britton, Dylan McDermott, Evan Peters, Taissa Farmiga, Denis O’Hare, and Jessica Lange.
American Horror Story Season 1 was a major hit, garnering positive reviews and high ratings, becoming one of the biggest successes of 2011. The season also earned several accolades, including 17 Emmy nominations and the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama. Twisted, violent, and utterly terrifying, Murder House is easily the best entry point into American Horror Story’s ongoing 12-season-plus mythology for new viewers, and the season’s also a beloved favorite for old fans.
3
‘Fleabag’ (2016–2019)
A dark comedy series created by, written by, and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Fleabag is adapted from her one-woman show and follows the titular 30-something. The show follows her life as a single woman living in London, exploring her personal, professional, and romantic struggles, as well as her grief over the deaths of her mother and her best friend/business partner. Besides Waller-Bridge, the show also stars Sian Clifford, Andrew Scott, Olivia Colman, Brett Gelman, Fiona Shaw, Kristin Scott Thomas, and more in notable roles.
Presented in a self-referential first-person narrative, Fleabag shares a darkly humorous perspective on loss, heartbreak, shame, and complicated family dynamics. Cheeky and wickedly funny, the show tackles painful themes with greater heart than most serious dramas, delivering a powerful and wholesome experience. Masterfully written and performed, the series is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest TV shows of the past decade, earning several accolades and universal acclaim.
