Listen, World 🌏 ⭐️🧚‍♀️

I like movies or TV dramas with interesting characters known and unknown, modern and classic, and stories with universal themes that citizens of the world can associate with. That said, these are my all-time TV dramas I have watched more than 5 times:

1. Jane Eyre (1983 BBC Miniseries) – This 1983 BBC miniseries of Jane Eyre always arrests my full attention to every scene of the episodes without the infelicity and pomposity that classical period dramas sometimes tend to produce on account of obsolete diction and rude gestures that look incongruously emphatic to our modern senses and sensibilities. It is a quaintly gorgeous drama without the ostentatious glamor of television drama exhibiting luminous Vanity Fair; it shows that just simple good scripts based on the loyal adaptation of the original novel and excellent performance of the fine cast that seems to be destined for the roles can translate the imaginative world of the author into the visual firmament of television drama this beautifully and realistically.

2. Inspector Moss – I first came to know Moss when I lived in a dorm during my college years. Inspector Moss is cranky, uptight, and stubborn, but he is wonderfully intelligent and surprisingly good-hearted when you come to know him. His sidekick, Sergent Lewis, is a perfect partner for his boss because of his mild manner and street-smart sense that complements Moss’s lack of touch with the real world. Each episode has characters we can see every day, and the stories are connected with dots and lines like a tessera put together by Moss aided by Lewis.

3. Other travel-related YouTube programs – I love watching travel shows or travel stories on YouTube when I work from home or do not feel well to clear away the clouds in my mind. As John Steinbeck said, sometimes it’s better to experience the joy of seeing the world by book or any other visual aids than actual traveling because of the hectic schedules and pesky arrangements of lodging. I agree with him.

For someone who gets easily bored with repeition, the aforesaid television dramas are worth watching repeats because they do not present overtly paid celebrities with freakilsy good looks or presposterous story lines that many people do not feel related.
