10 New Series You Should Be Watching In 2016

Another year, another set of Series would be launched out into the universe and there would be ton of options for you to choose and that might be difficult as you may miss out on the most interesting ones.

Today I have decided give you some of the series you should look forward to in 2016, no matter what direction your tastes happen to run

1.      Angie Tribeca

Angie Tribeca is a new TBS’s comedy series created by Nancy and Steve Carell and the show is about a group of eccentric police officers in Los Angeles. It of releasing episodes weekly, TBS are going to run the entire first season in a 25 hour long marathon beginning on Jan 17. TBS has such confidence in this show that it has already green lit and filmed a second season, which will be aired traditionally beginning on January 25.

2.      Legends Of Tomorrow

Legends of Tomorrow, unlike Arrow or The Flash, is a readymade ensemble piece that puts together a bunch of superheroes that maybe aren’t strong enough to carry their own series in an effort to save the world through the power of time travel. At its heart is the character of Rip Hunter, who was basically created to explain all of the inconsistencies in the DC universe by zipping through time and space. Basically he’s The Doctor, played (interestingly enough) by Doctor Who alum Arthur Darvill. While the trailer isn’t selling the show as much as it probably could, it’s such an interesting storyline that it seems unfair not to at least give it a chance to see where it’s going.

3.      Love

If there’s one thing that you can say about Netflix, it’s that they have a pretty stellar record of producing high quality original programming and that one of the reasons why we are happy they would be launching in Nigeria. Love is a fairly simple comedy about a pair of lovelorn individuals from Los Angeles who have sort of a bizarre meet-cute (she can’t pay for her coffee at 7-Eleven because she left her wallet at a cult meeting), and things take off from there. It stars Gillian Jacobs and Paul Rust, and has Judd Apatow’s name on the tin, so while nothing in life in certain, this is probably going to be a pretty funny show. It’s easy to be confident in their latest comedic offering, especially since they’ve already renewed it for a second season.

4.      Luke Cage

When Marvel announced that they would be creating a series of one-off programs on Netflix for some of their lesser known superheroes, fans were excited, but were careful not to get their hopes up. No one expected what a massive success Daredevil and, more recently, Jessica Jones would become. This is a story of an ex-con with super-strength and unbreakable skin who fights crime in New York City, just like his fellow Marvel Defenders, Daredevil and Jessica Jones. Cage played by Mike Colter has had the benefit of appearing on several episodes of Jessica Jones, so audiences have the opportunity to become familiar with the character before his show even begins. From the looks of things, Marvel will have another popular series to add to their Netflix hit list.

5.      Billions

Billions is the story of a major showdown between a super rich hedge fund billionaire and a zealous New York City attorney. Righteous battles against the financial elite and all of their shady practices are in vogue right now, what with The Big Short getting some serious Oscar buzz. What really pushes this show into must watch territory is the cast, Damien Lewis (Homeland) and Paul Giamatti (professional grump) square off against each other?  

6.      Baskets

This show has been in the works for several years, and it seems like it’s finally about to actually see daylight. Baskets is about a man who becomes a rodeo clown after failing out of French clown school and is played by co-creator Zach Galifianakis. Baskets is co-created by Louis C.K.

7.      Vinyl

Vinyl explores the sex and drugs infused world of the music industry in 1970s New York. It stars Bobby Cannavale in the lead role of Richie Finestra, a record label president, and also features Olivia Wilde, Juno Temple, and Ray Romano.

8.      The Path

The Path is a very curious piece of work. For one. It also happens to star Aaron Paul, in his first major television role since Breaking Bad went off the air. He plays a recent convert to a controversial faith-based movement which is headed by a charismatic leader played by Hugh Dancy. Fresh off his well-received role on Hannibal, Hugh Dancy has proven his willingness and ability to take on darker material, so it will be exciting to see what he does with this.

9.      Preacher

Preacher is another popular graphic novel with supernatural elements that takes place in the American South. This is the story of a preacher with special powers, and his bizarre yet awesome friendship with an Irish vampire. Preacher stars Dominic Cooper, who has never done a bad acting job ever, and brings together Misfits alums Ruth Negga and Joe Gilgun, which only makes it even more awesome.

10.   The Night Manager

The Night Manager is a miniseries based on the novel by John le Carre, and has been co-produced by AMC, BBC One and The Ink Factory, airing in April 2016. With an engaging storyline of espionage and the secret arms industry, The Night Manager looks to combine high quality performances and high octane excitement. It revolves around a former British soldier who is recruited to secretly infiltrate the inner circle of an arms dealer. To do so, he must become a criminal. Also, did I mention that it will have Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie in it? Well I guess I just did.
