The most popular series: Top Stars on TV 2015
- With Better Call Saul, Netflix launched a spin-off of the spectacular Breaking Bad series earlier this year.
- Instead of becoming a cheap copy of the cult series, Better Call Saul was able to assert itself as its own series size and got off to a clean start - so good that Netflix is currently producing a second season.
- In detail: Better Call Saul revolves around the lawyer Jimmy McGill, who gets involved in dubious business out of a lack of money. The dry humor and the ingenious character drawing let it shine through again and again: the Breaking Bad directors still have it.
Series highlight 2015: Mr. Robot - the newcomer of the year
- A mix of Anonymous and Robin Hood: Mr. Robot revolves around the slightly autistic hacker Elliot, who works as an innocent computer scientist during the day. But when night falls, he becomes a feared hacker, clears the bank accounts of large companies and distributes the money to the needy.
- The Amazon series is also exciting for non-nerds, because the series brings innumerable allusions to technology companies such as Google, Facebook and Apple. The great atmosphere and an extremely exciting story with unexpected twists make Mr. Robot the newcomer of the year.
- In detail: Elliot works for an IT security company and loots the accounts of those he is supposed to protect. In the first episode he meets the hacker Mr. Robot, who wants to win the young computer scientist for a secret mission: delete the accounts of a worldwide conglomerate and thus make a large part of the world's population debt-free at the click of a mouse.
Cult series Game of Thrones with cliffhanger
- The fifth season of Game of Thrones was almost impossible to avoid in 2015: the Lannister family has to fight for their supremacy, Queen Margaery Tyrell wants to bring her family to power herself and in the end Cersei loses everything.
- Jon Snow is stabbed in the season finale and since then the fan community has been debating whether Snow is really dead. HBO also fueled speculation with a tweet. Season 6 will bring the resolution.
Spectacular rise and fall in House of Cards
- With Season 3 House of Cards, the directors spin Frank Underwood's rise so brutally and mercilessly that he ends up giving up his marriage for the presidency.
- Even in season 3, House of Cards does not save on current references such as the Middle East conflict and criticism of the Russian president. Even Pussy Riot make a brilliant appearance. Season 4 has already been announced by Netflix.
The Walking Dead: Second half of season already in February 2016
- The first half of the new season, The Walking Dead, was released in October. After 8 episodes, the winter break started. But it continues in February.
