Nine Slightly More Under-Talked About Shows That Started 10/10 And Ended 10/10

Recently, u/meatballfhs75 asked r/AskReddit, "What show starts as a 10/10 and finishes as a 10/10?" So I've rounded up some of the lesser-known top suggestions and given you a bit about them. 1. Band of Brothers HBO Suggested by: redondo21 Number of seasons: One About the show: This is the story of the Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division from 1942 to the end of World War II. Created and produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, this dramatised telling of the 'Easy Company' takes you throughout their role in the war. Beginning with their training, all the way through to the liberation of Kaufering concentration camp, and the end of the war. It's a fascinating and emotional retelling that will keep you glued to every episode. Where to watch: NOW TV (UK), MAX (US) 2. Orphan Black Space / BBC America Suggested by: Ill_Tumblr_4_Ya Number of seasons: Five About the show: This sci-fi series follows the life, or lives, of Sarah Manning, who discovers she is one of several clones. Sarah endeavours to figure out the conspiratorial origins of her multiple lives, and in doing so, faces the dangers of various powerful organisations. It's a great show, and Tatiana Maslany's performance as Sarah('s) is sensational. Where to watch: Netflix, ITV (UK) 3. The Americans FX Suggested by: 3_34544449E14 Number of seasons: Six About the show: This spy drama is set during the cold war, and is about the lives of Elizabeth and Philip Jennings, Soviet spies who are under cover as a suburban couple in D.C. There lives become more and more complex as they deal with their conflicting loyalties. Where to watch: Channel 4 (UK), Disney+ 4. Samurai Champloo Fuji TV Suggested by: audiate Number of seasons: One About the show: If you're into anime, you may know this show, but if you aren't it may be a great place to begin. With an excellent soundtrack, Samurai Champloo follows two great warriors who are sworn enemies, but are forced to come together in order to complete a very special task. Where to watch: Hulu (US), Crunchyroll 5. Derry Girls Channel 4 Suggested by: Icy-Honeydew-3338 Number of seasons: Three About the show: We follow five teenagers attending a Catholic girls school in Derry in the mid-nineties. We watch the group navigate school life during the political unrest, as well as the bizarre situations they get themselves into. You'll laugh, cry, and be left wanting more by the end. Where to watch: Netflix, Channel 4 (UK) 6. Rome HBO Suggested by: taraclaire Number of seasons: Two About the show: This historical drama is set during one of history's greatest turning points, the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. We see the upheaval through the stories of two Roman soldiers, Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo, who become heroes after their feats in the arena. It's been praised for its detail and accuracy, and will keep you engaged throughout. Where to watch: Apple TV+, MAX (US) 7. Six Feet Under HBO Suggested by: Darthscary Number of seasons: Five About the show: We follow the Fisher family, who run a funeral home in Los Angeles. This dark comedy takes us through their lives, as they navigate the complexities of life and death, while dealing with their own personal struggles, desires, and goals. Very few who've seen it don't love Six Feet Under, and it's commonly awarded the title of 'best ending' of a series ever. Where to watch: MAX (US) , NOW TV (UK) 8. Shrinking Apple TV+ Suggested by: onlyfansandpuppies Number of seasons: Two About the show: We follow Jimmy, a grieving therapist whose recent loss has impacted how he deals with his patients. His new approach is to tell them exactly what he thinks, in a more brutally honest way. We see how this approach changes his attitude towards grief and relationships. While a new season is on the way, so we can't claim that the whole thing is flawless, the first two seasons have been universally praised. Where to watch: Apple TV+ 9. The Expanse Prime Video Suggested by: millerep Number of seasons: Six About the show: In a futuristic setting where humans have expanded beyond earth, there exist three areas which humans inhabit, Earth, Mars, and the Asteroid Belt. We follow a ragtag crew made of from members of each 'nation' per-say, after a peculiar substance is found that threatens life everywhere. Political tension is ripe, and we watch as the internal divisions between people of Earth, Mars, and the Belt grow alongside a threat that looms over all.
