Everybody loves Jon Snow, because the makers of the series wants the audience to like him.

Jon Snow no smart at all for the series... Always looking like One confused nigga

VickyRotex:
I dont really fancy series/movies that are overhyped, I guess that's the reason......
I never watched past Game of Thrones, Season 1, Episode 1. I couldn't deal!

How to get away with murder, I think I finished season 1, and dint continue. But I watched a late episode, where that black guy died.

Scandal, I never watched past Season 1 too

Suits, I think I stopped at Season 1, Episode 2 or 3.

I haven't seen Power. May try to see it, if I get a good review, and hope its not overhyped.


But the only series, I have watched, and rewatched over and over again, 3 times now, is 24 Hours. From Season 1 to 9.
I love that series so much. Maybe because it's my kind of thing. I've learnt so much from that series.

Been so busy lately, else would continue where I stopped. Someone asked if you have 1hour extra a day, what would do? I said I'd sleep or watch 24. That's how much, I'm in sync with that series.

Anyone has any action/educative/crime (3-in-1) series that I should see?

Marshalxv:



My dear,I give you 5 star review on power. That movie is the best of its kind with the intrigues suspense and action. go get it now!

Sterix10:
After Lord of the Rings,Game of thrones is the best movie I have ever seen

Dione007:


I just want to see how Samwell Tarly cures Ser Josh Mormont of his disease...
Theon Greyjoy is the biggest coward I've seen in a movie

Tomide12:
Away from the hustle and away from life’s worries. We tend to ease stress by entertaining ourselves. When you are deeply amused by Tonto Dike’s marriage theatrics, you may forget that the person sitting beside you has body odour. Movies and series are one guilty pleasure for those who indulge. They spend late nights or weekends to ensure they catch up with their beloved shows. l t because we love TV and movies too and we enjoy trolling the people that share this our guilty pleasure, let's kuku run through the top 5 TV series that we Nigerians love to overhype. Starting for the king of them:

1. Game of Thrones

We know anything other than profound praise is taken as sacrilege when it comes to Game of Thrones. So before you come for my head, hear me out first.

Game of thrones recently dominated the screens and social media. Nigerians are downloading pirated copies and sharing with their friends. Everyone is talking about winter. Winter is coming they say. First of all, the rave was about the Lannisters, then Jon snow and now Arya Stark or is it Tyrion the dwarf. Ah, let us not forget about Daenerys mother of dragons. After crying about the loss of one character, we always find a way to latch onto another. It is not surprising therefore that for the past two weeks, almost everyone is talking about the 7th season of GOT. Banners, graphics, and even memes are trolling the internet. It got so bad that even haters took to twitter to boast on how they had not watched a single episode. But abeg who that one epp? What is it about GOT that is making people stay so faithful?



2. How To Get Away With Murder

People who did not know about the wonder of Viola Davis got to know about her in HTGWM. She embraced the character Annalise keating so well that it got her an EMMY award. We do not know why Nigerians love this series. But we suspect it is because we are fascinated with getting away with crime legally. Annalise is smart and the way she works with her ambitious students makes the thrill top notch. The suspense here is over the bar and is definitely not for the faint heart. If you are in trouble with the law, you know who to call.


3. Suits

This is another series revolving around law and its legalities. Harvey Specter is a brilliant lawyer and when in need of an associate he hires Mike Ross. Mike, however, is a college dropout but this doesn’t deter him from being smart and witty. We follow them both as they turn from friends to allies and sometimes dangle on a thin thread of betrayal. The series is not only entertaining but also educative. If you are a fan of suits please let us know. What is fascinating about white dudes wearing suits and plotting how to outwit each other?


4. Scandal

Olivia Pope thrives on scandals. From being the President’s media consultant to having her own crisis management firm. She seems to know how to clean up other peoples lives except hers. Her clients have histories and secrets that must be taken care of and so does she and her staff. Again, we can see that Nigerian want to know how to get away with anything. It is a pity that we may not be able to have our own Olivia Pope unless your baba in the village is strong.


5. Power

This series shows that it is only a ghost that can run the underground business and be good at it. It is, however, a pity that Nigerian ghosts are only good at finding their soul mate or looking sideways to cross the road. James St. Patrick the Ghost has a successful nightclub but what you may not know is that he also runs another operation: a drug empire that serves only the rich and influential. You see Nigerians we too like bad things. We may have had our own ghost in Evans but we are happy that his identity has been revealed.


Nigerians like a good story, we like power and danger. We love the thrills that come with being smart and witty. And yes we overhype what we love. Well, I am in my house watching “Nkoli Nwa Nsukka”, you cannot get to me.

Deefuray:
my best series is still narcos...

VargasVee:
So from the comfort of your couch you came up with nonsense?

Remove Game of thrones and How to get away with murder from this stùpid list. I guess whoever wrote this is less than 18.

The both shows, the thrill, the unpredictability innit. I don't think I've yet to see it in any other show.

GOT is about one of the greatest TV shows ever produced, now go sit your aš$ somewhere chill

holatin:
no matter ow u hype a movie, if its not my type, na on your own you dey.

watched all this movie listed before they were hyped self.

I have full season 6 of suit and supernatural season 12 on my phone but more series that comes out everyday keep on delaying my watching it

vizkiz:

I felt this way before i became a fan

It took me a month to watch the first 3 episodes because I was expecting something spectacular. (like you said the "hype" was too much) Now I can't just wait to download episode 3 because it actually live to the hypes.

Trust me when I say The movie is fan-freagging-tastic (in dean winchester's voice)

You waiting for the 13th season of Supernatural too Yeah?

My best 5 of all time:
game of thrones
The walking dead
Prison break
Banshee
Outlander.

Outlander though, it appears I'm the only one following that beautiful show on nairaland despite the high ratings.

YOUNGSTUNNA:
Game of throne on this list? op... next time you're buying weed... at least get a good one..
I don't think you've actually followed the movie right from season 1...

I'm patiently waiting for season 7 episode 3...


.
NONSENSE LIST

bjhaid:
try the walking dead series, enough action and horror innit tho

Edenoscar:
After watching the first season of game of thrones.i made it a habit not to believe everything i read on the internet.the way dem hype this film ehn

CzarChris:
OP, Game of Thrones? Are you kidding me? That series has got the highest ratings ever on the 3 major movie critics sites(last 2 years Game of Thrones a 100% rating on rotten tomatoes..... 100 freaking percent), GOT won so many awards they should open a freaking museum for only the awards.

That series is just the bomb, the unexpected/suspense filled endings makes it unique. That movie is a practical manifestation of the macavellian principles of power.


Bros, abeg go continue with your Jennifer's diary and leave GOT, I take Oluwa beg you.

Giel:

why the comment on age?

sheyinoni:
Game of thrones overhype ke,dis one is mad ooo,with how many awards to it name already I remember two years ago it claimed abt nine awards in diff category in a night.
Op u are a donkey,abi the English too hard to understand

donblade85555:
what about merlin?

omofunaab:



Yeah, i like the hound too. And also Bronn, The sellsword.. The guy is one funny character.

But I detest the role Sansa played in the series.. . She was just stupid throughout the series .. Arya on the other hand is brave

ogbiwa:



My best series of all time so far:

Game of Thrones (Storyline, plot, cast all so mature, even the kid actors. Epic!)
Two and a half men (Charlie Sheen is now my best comic actor of all time)
24 (Another epic. Production, sets, storylines, plots, cast all on another level. Kudos)
Pitch (Witty and serious at same time. Being a sports lover I love how it gives us inside look into the life of sports stars off the field)
Prison break
Friends (Chandler and Joey are just something else)
Tudors (Love love this series mehn. Ancient English kingdom and royalty)
In that order.

Notable mentions:
How I met your mother
Modern family (would have been among my best but for the gay couple)
Dirty Sexy Money (the story is nothing like the name)
Orange county
Lost
Hit the floor
I've forgotten the rest though

Nice list Bro.
Funny you have issues with Mitch and Cam, the gay couples in Modern family.
The are actually my favorite characters in that series, the don't really display any intimacy or physical homosexuality, the series is generally a family rated movie, so no much adult content.

So you like Game of Thrones, despite the level of incest (Cerscei and her brother) , pedophile, lesbianism and rape activities that goes on, Baba I hail oo

Even in 2 and half men, in the later seasons, Charlie sheen's daughter was a lesbian, who practically slept with ladies, you had no problem with that abi

Patrick Neil Harris, the legendary Barney Stinson in How I met your mother, is a homosexual in real life, he is even married to a man..

My point is Sexual orientation of an individual, shouldn't affect your affiliation and likes, be more open minded, nd less Religious/Judgemental

sephryneyo:
got make sense.Atlantis my best series

ModusOperandi:
I follow all these series and they're really cool. But scandal is actually not overrated (in the sense that, I don't know anyone else that still watches it apart from me so who are the Nigerians hyping it). I think breaking bad should replace scandal on your list.

btw, HTGAWM is fúckíng amazing. it deserves all the hype it gets.
