You sha like boring movies. Those are some of the most boring movies ever made.
Mcowubaba:


The film is actually not hyped. It has a great storyline
With an amazing cast, great reviews.
Box office records, and high budget.

Just say it's not your type of series.

Like me, I prefer watching comic series like Big Bang theory, 2 broke girls, Scrubs, How I met your mother, Modern family, New girl, Shameless, Devious maids, Everybody hates Chris, 2 and half men, friends, last man on earth
I have watched them all, lol.
The are my type of films.

I also love a little bit of action/thriller , and series like Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Empire, Lost, Nikita, Better call Saul, Blacklist, Blacklist redemption, 24, 24-Legacy, Lethal weapon, OZ, Blindspot, Power, How to get away with murder, Walking Dead etc does it for me..

On very rare occasions, I may want some bit of epic/mystery/Sci-fiction series, I watch Arrows, Game of Thrones, American gods, Gotham, person of interest, limitless

Mehn, I don watch series oo, I have even forgotten some.

Game of thrones is actually interesting.
I like the fact that anybody can die in the series
The audience tends to have different favorite characters in the series.
My favorite character in game of thrones is Petyr Baelish.. Aka little finger

Mine is Jon snow.
I also love Khal drago,so sad he died because of obsession.

Away from the hustle and away from life’s worries. We tend to ease stress by entertaining ourselves. When you are deeply amused by Tonto Dike’s marriage theatrics, you may forget that the person sitting beside you has body odour. Movies and series are one guilty pleasure for those who indulge. They spend late nights or weekends to ensure they catch up with their beloved shows.

So just because we love TV and movies too and we enjoy trolling the people that share this our guilty pleasure, let's kuku run through the top 5 TV series that we Nigerians love to overhype. Starting for the king of them:

1. Game of Thrones

We know anything other than profound praise is taken as sacrilege when it comes to Game of Thrones. So before you come for my head, hear me out first.

Game of thrones recently dominated the screens and social media. Nigerians are downloading pirated copies and sharing with their friends. Everyone is talking about winter. Winter is coming they say. First of all, the rave was about the Lannisters, then Jon snow and now Arya Stark or is it Tyrion the dwarf. Ah, let us not forget about Daenerys mother of dragons. After crying about the loss of one character, we always find a way to latch onto another. It is not surprising therefore that for the past two weeks, almost everyone is talking about the 7th season of GOT. Banners, graphics, and even memes are trolling the internet. It got so bad that even haters took to twitter to boast on how they had not watched a single episode. But abeg who that one epp? What is it about GOT that is making people stay so faithful?



2. How To Get Away With Murder

People who did not know about the wonder of Viola Davis got to know about her in HTGWM. She embraced the character Annalise keating so well that it got her an EMMY award. We do not know why Nigerians love this series. But we suspect it is because we are fascinated with getting away with crime legally. Annalise is smart and the way she works with her ambitious students makes the thrill top notch. The suspense here is over the bar and is definitely not for the faint heart. If you are in trouble with the law, you know who to call.


3. Suits

This is another series revolving around law and its legalities. Harvey Specter is a brilliant lawyer and when in need of an associate he hires Mike Ross. Mike, however, is a college dropout but this doesn’t deter him from being smart and witty. We follow them both as they turn from friends to allies and sometimes dangle on a thin thread of betrayal. The series is not only entertaining but also educative. If you are a fan of suits please let us know. What is fascinating about white dudes wearing suits and plotting how to outwit each other?


4. Scandal

Olivia Pope thrives on scandals. From being the President’s media consultant to having her own crisis management firm. She seems to know how to clean up other peoples lives except hers. Her clients have histories and secrets that must be taken care of and so does she and her staff. Again, we can see that Nigerian want to know how to get away with anything. It is a pity that we may not be able to have our own Olivia Pope unless your baba in the village is strong.


5. Power

This series shows that it is only a ghost that can run the underground business and be good at it. It is, however, a pity that Nigerian ghosts are only good at finding their soul mate or looking sideways to cross the road. James St. Patrick the Ghost has a successful nightclub but what you may not know is that he also runs another operation: a drug empire that serves only the rich and influential. You see Nigerians we too like bad things. We may have had our own ghost in Evans but we are happy that his identity has been revealed.


Nigerians like a good story, we like power and danger. We love the thrills that come with being smart and witty. And yes we overhype what we love. Well, I am in my house watching “Nkoli Nwa Nsukka”, you cannot get to me.

How can GoT top the list biko?

Now, I won't judge a fellow because of his/her movie choices, but please for the love of humanity, don't rain on GoT's parade. It's in the top 5 best series of all time. Like The GodFather, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, MJ's Thriller album, Mona Lisa; words are insufficient to accurately describe its quality. Just relish it!

I dont really fancy series/movies that are overhyped, I guess that's the reason......
I never watched past Game of Thrones, Season 1, Episode 1. I couldn't deal!

How to get away with murder, I think I finished season 1, and dint continue. But I watched a late episode, where that black guy died.

Scandal, I never watched past Season 1 too

Suits, I think I stopped at Season 1, Episode 2 or 3.

I haven't seen Power. May try to see it, if I get a good review, and hope its not overhyped.


But the only series, I have watched, and rewatched over and over again, 3 times now, is 24 Hours. From Season 1 to 9.
I love that series so much. Maybe because it's my kind of thing. I've learnt so much from that series.

Been so busy lately, else would continue where I stopped. Someone asked if you have 1hour extra a day, what would do? I said I'd sleep or watch 24. That's how much, I'm in sync with that series.

Anyone has any action/educative/crime (3-in-1) series that I should see?
Same here cheesy I love 24 to bits! Probably the reason why I can't seem to enjoy all of the ones OP listed. I hardly ever get past one season. I started GOT, but didn't get past the first or second season I think. But I'll be on leave for one month soon. In the absence of anything to do, I might just watch the entire thing. Or try to.

Have you watched Strike Back? Its like 24. You'll absolutely love it.

Yea right! 24! cool Cant get over that series.

I haven't seen GOT, so I'm not sure if it beats 24 in its own way. GOT isn't just my kind of series. And truth is, its been talked about too much, so I don't see the point watching it. I end up being disappointed when I watch a series/movie that has been talked about so much. And I believe that's what the Op meant by Overhype. Because, in the end, the expectation is just so high, and you may not enjoy it as you thought you would.

I've seen Supernatural, I should really watch it again.

Game of Thrones can only feel over-hyped to people that love simple plots. People hate what they don't understand.

I write fiction too, and that Game of Thrones storyline is so complex i feel it could only have been written by an alien or an insane person. lol! That's how good Game of Thrones is.
