​Boredom is a frequent state of mind felt by most people during these difficult times, where to protect yourself and others- quarantine is fundamental. One of the best “cures” and time passing activities to endure this Covid-19 crisis is…. TV shows! What else is better to forget your own problems and dramas than watching somebody else’s or to have a good light-hearted laugh. The top 8 TV shows, most of which are oldies but goldies follow below:

1. Friends 

​If you haven’t watched this one yet, it is a must- drop everything you are doing and go enjoy some good, original comedy. Friends, as most will know, follows the hilarious and relatable adventures of Monica, Ross, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel, where you’ll get to experience all their professional drama, romantic problems, marriages and divorces whilst living in New York City. By the end of the 9th season, you’ll be crying and laughing with the characters, and will be fully in love with this show.

2. How I Met Your Mother
​
Some say that How I met your mother is Friend’s spiritual descendant-similarly, it also follows a close-knit friend group during their adventures in New York City. How I met your mother is the story of how the main character, Ted, met his future wife and all the adventures he and his friends went through that led them there. During the TV show, you’ll meet goofy yet reliable Marshall, womanizer Barney, loyal Lily and sarcastic Canadian Robin. One of the most lovable components of the show apart from the characters is the recurring jokes such as the slap bet or Ranjeet, the taxi driver's appearance. This is a must for anyone who wants a good laugh with a fresh new air.
