Universal gadgetization and computerization is an undoubted benefit for humanity. However, rapid progress brings with it not only good, but also grounds for concern.

This is one of the most popular sitcom series ("sitcom"). Its premiere took place in September 2007, and the series ended on season 12. It has 279 episodes and is the longest sitcom in the history of cinema.
However, everyone loves The Big Bang Theory not for the duration of the series, but for unusual and very colorful characters - the brilliant Sheldon Cooper, who has discrete (digital) thinking and hypertrophied conceit, and his less brilliant, but no less bright friends.
The Big Bang Theory is a great series for family watching with teens. Indeed, it is available, interesting and with a subtle sense of humor that shows the different types of young people and their relationships with each other and the world around them.

From the first to the third seasons of The True Detective, we follow the investigation into the brutal murder of one child and the disappearance of the second, which brought to light the whole network of other crimes.
Again and again we meet with ambitious American politicians and ordinary people with their everyday racism, ignorance and other vices. Once again, we find eerie characters left at the crime scene, and hints of occultism. And each of the characters that appeared in the series has a meaning for the plot.
The denouement of each series can be shocking and completely unpredictable, but quite logical.
And although the action of the third season of "True Detective" takes place in different decades, only the external surroundings change. But the craving for violence and human sins are ineradicable.

The largest-scale series of the 21st century is nearing completion, but the debate around it will not subside for a long time. After all, the audience is too fond of the world of the Seven Kingdoms with their intrigues, charismatic characters (both living and not so), dragons and lyutovolki.
Even in the Moscow metro at the station "Business Center" appeared his Iron Throne, on which anyone can sit.
May 20, the whole world will know how the Game of Thrones will end. The final eighth season of Game of Thrones was very mixed. So much so that the audience created a petition urging the HBO channel to retake it with other screenwriters. Since the current (Benioff and Weiss) allegedly did not cope with the task. And without the original source - the books of George R. R. Martin - they could not create such a finale that would be a worthy conclusion to such an epic saga. At the moment, the petition has collected over 930 thousand signatures.
