TV series are overrated. Normal short movies are better!
Am not a fan of TV series especially Nigeria TV series. The only Nigeria TV series have watched when I was very less busy was Jennifer's diary and extended family by bovi.
The foreign TV series have also managed to watch are beauty and the beast and power(50 cent)
I enjoy watching the normal short movies very much and they are better than TV series
watch short movies like this ones I assure you will forget TV series
Fast and furious 8
Sleepless (TI)
Return of Xander cage Bleep
Point break
Ride along
Passenger
Bfg. Big friendly giant
Vacation
The mummy 4
and I also watch horror movies of all kind. I can't do without horror movies in a day. especially zombies.
I don't know if people will say something is wrong with me with the way I watch horror movies but I don't care.
