The Best TV Shows of 2015 in GIFs

In my very humble and honest opinion, here's my favourite 5 TV shows of 2015 in no particular order and a few gifs ('cause, hey, who wants to read words when they can see pictures, am I right? No, I'm not, words are wonderful.). 
Have a look and watch them if you haven't. Each one is important in a very peculiar way and each one of them deserves to be seen until the very last episode.

Fargo 2


Knitting, snow and, this time, a looot of split screens from the late 70s. You won't lose the thread with season 1: this season 2 combines the early heroes of 2006 Minnesota (little Molly Solverson is cute and already badass) with the worst of the Reagan era. The characters are so flawed to be real Americans. Fargo 2 doesn't miss a shot: ballistically and visually.



Jessica Jones

The feminist Marvel Netflix series about a superhero who doesn't fit, doesn't belong and doesn't care. She could beat up Supergirl's ass if she wanted to, but she doesn't give a shit. And we love her for that. And for the fact she has some points about consent, sexual awareness and psychological abuse.


Man Seeking Woman

Josh is ready to get back on track after her girlfriend dumps him for Hitler. Man Seeking Woman is relatable in its absolute insanity: absurd everyday situations become perfectly normal in our antihero's life. The dating world is a jungle and Josh will learn this harsh truth at his own expense: he's a loser and not afraid. MSW's reality is so exaggerated and bizarre that there are no half measures: you love it or hate it. We love it and are almost ready to commit.



Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

The nice comeback of goddess Tina Fey with the hilarious Ellie Kemper and a lot of cool, crazy people - Jane Krakowski and Titus Burgess anyone? Learn to live as if it was a miracle with Kimmy, feel the awe of eating candies for dinner just because you can and never hide your true self. A hymn to freedom in every form, UKS faces the bitterness up with colourful sarcasm and a catchy song, which is something you should always have at handy to live in this world, dammit.


Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Speaking of catchy opening credits, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a pro. Sassy, selfish, sometimes stupid Rebecca quits her prestigious job in NYC to move to West Covina, California, where there's nothing. Apart from her first love Josh. This show is a smarter version of New Girl: there are silly songs in it and the protagonist sings a lot, but lyrics are the most accurate description of feminist issues. Rachel Bloom is unable to shut her mouth and we'd never want her to.
