The 2000s produced a good crop of TV series. Although they were not as cinematic as we have today, the productions of the time managed to keep the viewer waiting for new episodes every week, thanking them for the long seasons.
To revive the nostalgia of the decade, the IMDb websitewhich serves as a database of films and series (almost an audiovisual Wikipedia), listed the 10 most popular series of that decade.
10. The Big Bang Theory
The quirky and funny scientists of The Big Bang Theory preclude presentation. Extremely intelligent and with very few social skills, the group formed by Sheldon (Jim Parsons), Leonard (Johnny Galecki), Howard (Simon Helberg) and Rajesh (Kunal Nayyar), along with their neighbor Penny (Kaley) and scientist Amy (Mayim Bialik ), got good laughs with their theories and their conviviality.
The series ended in 2019, but is still known today by TV fans and has earned spin-offs, such as sheldon.
9. Home
Home, Lar was one of the pioneering medical-themed TV series, which has been enjoyed by viewers ever since. In the work Dr. Gregory House analyzed and unveiled one seemingly inexplicable case per episode.
Like any self-respecting medical series, the story didn’t just focus on the patients, but also dealt with the personal stories of the doctors, such as their romantic relationships (including each other) and ethical dilemmas in the profession.
8. Modern family
The large family! In a style of mockumentary (a comic mockumentary), modern family won over fans with a light and hilarious portrayal of a large family, divided into three smaller family groups.
Joined by patriarch Jay Pritchett (Ed O’Neill), the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tuckers live in their own homes, with their own dynamics and quirks. When they are together, both adults and children do not escape the chaos and have a good laugh.
7. Criminal masterminds
Still running today, the crime drama series Criminal minds accompanies the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. Police officers embark on adventures to unravel what is behind the masterminds of criminals, and each episode is confronted with new cases.
However, the chapters don’t just deal with the dark crimes – we also get to know the agents, what they think of the cases and their ethical dilemmas behind the profession.
6. Supernatural
The Winchester brothers are already known to viewers of the series. The duo formed by Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) have traveled to the United States aboard a black Impala to unravel supernatural cases.
The Hunters had a solid fan base: the series lasted 15 years with its main actors in the same roles, and is still remembered among supernatural horror and fantasy productions.
5.NCIS
Older than Criminal minds AND CSI extension, NCIS extension was a major influence on crime series and, for some fans, remains one of their best. The episodes follow the Naval Crimes Investigative Service (NCIS), an elite team dedicated to uncovering crimes related to the United States Navy.
With each chapter, viewers were presented with new cases with surprising conclusions. It’s no surprise that the series is still ongoing today, in its 20th season.
4. The Office
The American version of the series The office it was an instant hit. With an edgy script and performances by big names in comedy, such as Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer and Mindy Kaling, the daily life of publishing house Dunder Mifflin has entertained millions of viewers.
Despite being completed eight years ago, the series has become the most watched series on Netflix in 2020, as well as having a huge influence in pop culture (and internet memes).
3. It’s always sunny in Philadelphia
Since 2005, It’s always sunny in Philadelphia it kept its situational and wicked humor. With a cast of big names, such as the legendary Danny DeVito and Glenn Howerton, Paddy’s Pub has seen very peculiar situations, such as Charlie (Charlie Day) putting together a show to ask a woman to marry him and Dennis (Howerton) trying to sell a car submerged in water.
The series was also known for its ability to discuss subjects that, at the time, were comedy taboos and continues to this day.
2. Grey’s Anatomy
Another series that has fallen into the good graces of the fans and has not stopped to this day is Grey’s Anatomy. One of the greatest (if not the greatest) of the medical genre, the production accompanies surgeons, assistants and interns at Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital.
The initial perspective was of the protagonist Meredith Gray (Ellen Pompeo), but, over the seasons, the series has become known for its ability to reconcile medical cases with well-constructed parallel characters and stories.
Grey’s Anatomy it’s ABC’s longest running series for a reason.
1. Break up badly
breaking Bad was the most popular series of the 2000s. In the award-winning play, famed Walter White (Bryan Cranston) goes from high school chemistry teacher to feared meth producer and dealer after a cancer diagnosis.
Together with his young partner Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), White faces the dangers and risks of the criminal world. The complex characters and twists of breaking Bad they are remembered to this day.
