My Favourite TV Shows of 2017

These are my favourite TV shows that I watched in 2017 for the first time, which means not all of them came out last year. These are in no particular order.

1. Las Chicas del Cable


I studied English and Spanish literature and linguistics and I started to watch this show because it was an original Netflix show in Spanish. I immediately got hooked to this period drama. There is so much drama, heartache and plot twists! And a lot of romance! Can't wait to watch season 3!

You can find my review of the first season here!

2. Firefly


In Belgium we have a Flemish version of Comic Con called Facts. Both Nathan Fillion and Morena Baccarin were guests at this event and I hadn't watched Firefly before, so I immediately needed to rectify that. From the first episode on, I fell in love with this show. It's a great tragedy it one got one season.

You can find my review here.

3. Stranger Things


I watched the first season last year, but the second one was equally as great. The ending was so cute! I can never get enough of this show and I am constantly complaining that their seasons should have more episodes!

4. Godless


Another wonderful Netflix creation I just recently watched with my dad (who LOVES Westerns). This is an incredibly good feminist western absolutely everyone needs to watch!

5. Sense8


The worst news of 2017 was the cancellation of this incredible diverse and awesome show. Can't wait to see how they wrap things up but I'm still hoping they will be able to continue the show after all (I feel the same about Firefly). If you haven't watched this yet, what are you doing with your life? Go watch it right now!

6. Sherlock


One of my all-time favourite shows. IT. IS. JUST. THE. BEST.

7. Vikings


If you like Game of Thrones, you should definitely be watching Vikings as well. Lagertha is my favourite character, she can rival any man. Ragnar, Rollo and Floki are close up there as well.

8. The Handmaid's Tale


It's not surprising that this would be on my list since Atwood's book is one of my favourites this year as well. Probably the best book to movie adaption I've seen all year. A must see for everyone!



Other shows I loved last year include: The Crown, Twin Peaks, Victoria, Poldark season 3, Daredevil, The Good Place (season 2), Girlboss, Game of Thrones, Glow, Lucifer, New Girl, Once Upon a Time and Santa Clarita Diet.

  1. I don't watch a lot of TV. I bought the first couple of seasons of Vikings and plan to watch that one. I am also a few episode into Stranger Things and enjoying it. I will have to check out some of your other picks.

  2. I've neglected my TV show watching-the only series I got watching were dvd box sets of Game of Thrones! I do like the look of Vikings and Sense8. I need to somehow fit in getting through some of the stuff I record from TV and the dvd box sets I buy!

    1. haha, yeah, I record so many things I usually have to erase them before I get a chance to watch them because I want to record other series :)

  3. I don't watch much television but every once in a while I get hooked on something. Stranger Things and The Handmaid's Tale were two. I had read The Handmaid's Tale a while ago and it was the scariest book I'd ever read. The series was so spot on!

    1. I completely agree with The Handmaid's Tale! Frightened me so much!

  5. Yes, love most of the series you mentioned!
    My absolute favourites are: The Walking Dead, Vikings, Supernatural, The Handmaids tale, The Punisher and Stranger Things.
    But, haven't watched season 2 of Stranger Things (planning do so someday very soon) & I'm behind on Vikings. Oh, I almost forgot: Game of Thrones! :)

    My absolute favourite is The Walking Dead.

    1. I need to continue watching The Walking Dead asap! I think I stopped for some unknown reason at season 4. Really need to start watching The Punisher too! I loved season 2 of Stranger Things! I hope you'll enjoy it too!

  6. Ahh you've seen so much! The only things I've gotten to on this list are Stranger Things, Sense8 (I can't believe it's ending:( ), 3 Seasons of Sherlock, and 3 Episodes of The Handmaid's Tale.
    I really want to check out the others since we have similar taste in shows, though!
