He is capable of making the whole public fall in love despite being a cruel person and being a ruthless murderer. He also hides his concerns and insecurities. But without a doubt, it is his great charisma and his marked personality that characterizes him as one of the most well-played characters on screen.

The Royal criminal gang that existed in Birmingham from the late XNUMXth century will take over the power of the city of Birmingham, but will suffer several setbacks and attacks by other gangs, who will look with envy at what the Blinders are achieving.
The Office
Here we bring another American series of humor set in a sales office located in the town of Scranton, in Pennsylvania. It premiered in 2005 and has become one of the most popular TV comedies of all time, especially for the magnificent role played by Steve Carell, head of the office (Michael Scott).
The series did not have good acceptance by the public in its first season, but when Steve Carell took the role of Michael Scott from the second season, everything turned upside down. His personality is very characteristic, makes you feel embarrassment to see it, but at the same time you are very fond of him and you feel identified.
16 years later, The Office continues to be an attraction for many audiences, which is why it is considered one of the best series in history.

This biker gang they control the arms trade in the area and "protect" the people from the drug trade of the Nords, a neo-Nazi gang. The action is present at all times, as well as its constant violence in its images. Also, if you are one of those who appreciates a good soundtrack, this is your series, the music is wonderful.
Lost (Lost)
Lost is one of those series that you either love or hate, mostly because of its ending. But without a doubt, it must be admitted that it is one of the most influential series of recent years on television. Lost was a success with the audience in its beginnings, it generated a great amount of debate to try to solve the mysteries that housed that island on which the Oceanic flight 815 from Sydney to Los Angeles crashed.
Everyone wondered how it would end, how it was going to be, without knowing how important the series was going to be its plot and its journey and not the controversial ending, which would leave a lot to be desired and which would generate many haters. It is a series that I highly recommend, especially for his characters, which contain a very difficult enigma to solve.
South Park
The wild and iconic animated series directed for an adult audience could not be missing from the list, especially because of what it has meant in the lives of many people. It is not suitable for everyone, since the objective of the series is offend as many people as possible.
In the series we see the adventures of Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman, with a strong social and political criticism towards characters such as politicians and celebrities as well as Saddam Hussein or Osama bin Laden. Surely you remember the mythical "They killed Kenny!" (Yes, he is killed in several episodes).
Seinfeld
Seinfeld is considered the best sitcom ever. The plot is very simple, Jerry Seinfeld, creator of the series, interprets himself and it is a "semi-fiction" of things that happen to him in life. Thus, he will focus on his personal life with characters based on friends and acquaintances in real life, marked by common and everyday situations that will make you start laughing.
You will see absurd humor as well as black humor and hugely funny situations. The series perfectly combines everyday and banal situations with humor. The characters, not being entirely fictional, make them familiar with the public from the first second. Undoubtedly, It is a mythical series that you should seeIt is not as famous as Friends, but it is well worth it.

From HBO we bring The Sopranos, another of those series that should have a place on this list of the best series in history. He tells us the life of Tony Soprano, a kingpin of one of the largest Italian-American Mafia families in New Jersey.
But Tony is not only a fearsome mobster, he is also an excellent family man, or at least try to be. He is an antihero who makes a reality that the audience takes affection and manages to empathize with him. Without a doubt, it is one of the best dramas in history that you must see.
The paper house
I have decided to put this Netflix title on the list because I consider it to be one of the best series that have been created today and it will undoubtedly end up becoming a classic over the years. Without a doubt, La casa de papel, is a masterpiece, one of the most international Spanish series in history.
The series revolves around one of the biggest heists ever planned, rob the National Mint and Stamp Factory with the mission of making money and taking it away. And all because of a very normal guy called The Professor, who will gather a series of robbers with a very different and marked personality and will come up with ideas the perfect plan, without missing the smallest detail.
