Top TV watchable Series (In my opinion to which are both provocative and entertaining)

1. True Blood- American Fantasy Horror based on a series of novels which premiered in 2008 depicts a unique and yet fantasy driven story based in Louisiana about mortals, vampires and wolves would simply not do this series, the cast also includes fairies, witches, and shape-shifters as well.  While the storyline seems dark and brooding it also contains many provocative nuances along with humorous aspects. While the series has now ended, it continues to have a fan base and many such as myself loved many of the characters. It was pure entertainment, at times very sexual which more than likely didn't hurt its ratings .. Look this sort of series isn't for everyone but if you want to binge watch and enjoy TV fantasy genre such as Night Gallery, X Files, Tales from the Crypt, The Twilight Zone (all oldies and yet classic fantasy series), and American Horror Story (still ongoing American Fantasy series with many provocative story lines as well) than you will enjoy True Blood. So what do you have to lose, trust me it will keep your attention.

2.  Weeds - Premiered in 2005 and wrapped up in 2012 however it sets the bar high in my opinion for being one of the best marijuana based long running series.  Weeds was definitely in my opinion one of the first but now in just the past couple of years more series and shows based on marijuana have sprouted up..(notice how I added that sly play on words Sprout..ha ha)  . Storyline is based on Nancy Botwin a woman who starts dealing from the suburbs after her husband dies.. but along with marijuana dealing the show soon takes off on the family dynamics of her two sons, brother-in-law along with a whole list of friends.  It is not the typical drug dealing aspects one might be inclined to think.. this is the suburbs and they are not the typical bunch of gangsters you might think.. However the story spans what seems like a lot in just the 7 years it ran.. and Nancy Botwin becomes a very self learned drug dealing woman.  The series has humor, sex and pushes the envelope on drug dealing in the suburbs .. I think the series carries a good cast and makes a fantastic pick for binge watching .. Enjoy..

3.  Power - American Crime Drama premiered on Starz in 2014, and is a series still going strong .. but why wouldn't it with an amazing cast and drug dealing storyline.  I will be honest I was hooked on this series from the first episode.. This show is dynamic in just about every facet .. while drug dealing is the backdrop it draws you in as being really human.. the pull of wanting to break free from crime and yet doing what is right isn't always easy .. and how growing up on the streets and making it is hard.. I can't describe how jaw dropping and enticing the story is .. and how the struggles and pain the main characters have to endure through the years .. but this series is gripping just doesn't do it justice.. I am not black but I see it as being a series that anyone can identify with .. life and marriage is tough and not everyone will have your back.. as well as dreams are hard to achieve.. Just watch it and judge for yourself.. I will warn this is hard-hitting but the overall storyline will keep you watching and the cast is superb..

That's all for now.. remember not all my picks maybe your cup of tea.. but trust me you will enjoy watching..
