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.

So just 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.

u Sef u no de finish anyone.. I'm not really a lover of TV series because it takes alot of my time


but GOT is different...it has a great storyline

themayor4542 post=5896110p1:

I wouldn't recommend it to my foes.

Mcowubaba:


The film is actually not hyped. It has a great storyline
With an amazing cast, great reviews.
Box office records, and high budget.

Just say it's not your type of series.

Like me, I prefer watching comic series like Big Bang theory, 2 broke girls, Scrubs, How I met your mother, Modern family, New girl, Shameless, Devious maids, Everybody hates Chris, 2 and half men, friends, last man on earth
I have watched them all, lol.
The are my type of films.

I also love a little bit of action/thriller , and series like Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Empire, Lost, Nikita, Better call Saul, Blacklist, Blacklist redemption, 24, 24-Legacy, Lethal weapon, OZ, Blindspot, Power, How to get away with murder, Walking Dead etc does it for me..

On very rare occasions, I may want some bit of epic/mystery/Sci-fiction series, I watch Arrows, Game of Thrones, American gods, Gotham, person of interest, limitless

Mehn, I don watch series oo, I have even forgotten some.

Romanciella:
lol i actually just started greys anatomy

Thing is am obsessed with science fiction..it gets me

I think greys anatomy and genius are alot alike


Cant beleive they where using beepers!!

vanchi:


How would you feel if you were a bastard

gentlemayor:


It's really an interesting series to watch

VickyRotex:
.

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

vizkiz:

Season 13 and counting...

I have a feeling it might be coming to an end soon. Those guys are getting old already. I was shocked when I compared Sam in S1 to sam in S11

Dude is huge

Rorachy:
I like game of thrones, power, suits but I think how to get away with murder is overhyped.

safarigirl:
you people are too small minded, so, you assume if someone isn't isn't watching what makes you feel intelligent, it means said person is not intelligent.

Get you head out of your ass, it would interest you to know that I don't watch this Jennifer's diary, it ticks the box for overhyped series, but i'm sure you watch it with the way you mention it.

I stick to Scandal, HTGAWM and other such series that portray black people as I see myself, you may choose to not see the racisnecessarilyin American series, because of course, you are fine with feeling intelligent just because you think you have the ability to watch a complicated plot.


But there are many people, who see the inner workings of cast choice and story writing in these series that most of you are too blinded by your sense of superior intellect to notice. Such people choose to call Hollywood's bluff by refusing to buy into this hype they have molded for you to follow


By the way, if you are watching the same thing majority people watch, it makes you a crowd follower, no true intellectual follows the crowd. We make our own rules, we watch what we want to, we don't let the crowd move us.

BTW, racist is a strong word, I don't nevessarily think the black race is superior to whites, I just refuse to buy into the media propaganda that the black race is inferior. Hollywood movies infer that, you are just too small-minded to notice

VickyRotex:




That's Greys for you.
I didn't continue it. I think it also has one of the longest seasons. Upto 11 or 12. I haven't seen Genius though.

I hope you enjoy it.

josemadu:
I really don't know if you can withstand the awesomeness of FRINGE. Good luck though if u are open enough to enjoy the best sci-fi tv series so far

paparazy06:
I won't blame the OP for saying GOT is over hyped he/she probably watched season one and jump to the latest episodes... The first time i watch GOT (S1) I don't like but my friend in school convinced me to watch and I am not regretting watching it... GOT of throne one of the best season film ever (because its story line is really unique).... And how on earth will you say POWER is over hyped.

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

op run for your life cuz WINTER IS COMING

chloride6:
Can't seem to find anyone who's watched The wire and Boardwalk Empire.

Na only merlin Una dey watch .

onyeogalu1:


Please where can i watch SEASON 7 EP 1&2

jonbellion:
greys anatomy is looooooooooooong and even with more o's boooooooooooooooooooooooring. The Mindy project seems like the female version master of none to me. Maybe because the two main characters are indian I guess
Btw master of none is a great comedy show

vizkiz:
Game of thrones is overhyped?

"Jon Snow tomide12 you know nothing"

If you have seen the novel you wouldn't have come to that lame conclusion. Even Seun is an addict.

Well... unintelligent people find amusing things boring.

Just go and continue watching your Jennifer's diary


I...vizkiz
First of my name
Master of my phone
Lord of my house and owner of blue font, have just three movies I keep watching over and over again. Which are;
Game of thrones
Supernatural
24

The rest can go fück themselves.

VickyRotex:

FRINGE! Never heard about that. I really enjoy series, that are not so talked about, cos I end up enjoying them. So I'll try to see a preview, and see if it's worth giving a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

aamstih:
You speak my language.

Romanciella:
yea sure
But after typing GOT u don't need to add the *of thrones
Cuz GOT itself stands for game of thrones

zicoraads:

Didn't get past the first season of Fringe too. Something about abnormalities and all. But it's good. And then I saw someone mention Designated Survivor. It's good too. Its still Jack innit as the major character. I can't wait for Season 2 of it. If you haven't already, do check it out too.

What of "Blind spot"?
