Parade 100 Teenage Series: Places 60-41

"South Park" and "Calm" were still fresh and brave, "Transparent" and "Unsure" for the first time gave voices to voices we had not heard before, "Black Mirror" set warning signs and more. Part Three of Five of the 100th Century Parade

Parade 100 Teenage Series: Places 60-41

60. South Park

Originally: South Park
Broadcasting Body: Comedy Central (in Israel on HOT)
Years: 1997 - Today

You can start counting some of South Park's great moments throughout the current decade, from the 14th season onwards: funny, wild and ingenious episodes for everything that line up with the series' great classics. But "South Park" does not settle for excellent episodes, but is always careful to examine itself (including "You get old" from Season 15, "Stunning and Brave" from Season 19, all "Cancel South Park" movement in Season 22 ), Constantly trying to play with her format, casting fixed figures in favor of others, putting Randy Marsh in the front in parallel with the children, and so on. For several seasons, she also experimented with story arcs that spanned entire seasons, including one that followed Randy's secret singing career as a lord singer. Not always perfectly, but one that injected freshness and fun.

But beyond such and other narrative structures, the bottom line and most important of all is that 23 years after it was created, "South Park" is still one of the most biting, relevant and brave series on television. If it was feared that its creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone - who in the past decade also created the super-successful musical and Tony, Olivier and Grammy book "The Book of Mormon" - would settle into a relaxed and edgy life as family members, would be afraid to wake up giants, again and again proving it was far from it The case.

In fact, the current "South Park" season, which ends next week, illustrated this more strongly. She brilliantly made her way to the US Immigration Agency's prison camps ("You might think we're a racist," says one of the agents when Jewish Kyle was imprisoned with the Mexican children) and, above all, embarked on a frontal attack against China and its American collaborators, huge companies such as Disney and the NBA. The result is total censorship of South Park in China, including references to the local network, and huge losses to Comedy Central because of it.

59. Mind Hunter

Originally: Mind Hunter
Broadcast Network: Netflix
Years: 2017 - Today

One of the surprises of the last decade was the meteoric rise of works from the "real crime" genre. Suddenly we found ourselves confined to blood dispersal patterns, crime scenes, and DNA samples. But we seemed to enjoy most of the chase, the opportunity to put on the detective's uniform and find the answers we hoped to find. However comprehensive, such series have always been presented from the point of view of their creators. The goal was marked on some character, the plot lines led to a certain conclusion even if we did not agree with it. The plot "Mind Hunter" does not belong to this genre, but it created the possibility that real crime series did not really give us - a glimpse into human nature.

Although cruel murderers are interviewed at the center, "Mind Hunter" advocates a remote, almost academic approach to them. It is a perpetual groping in the dark, eliminating early assumptions and error while on the move. She gives her heroes little successes, but does not let them forget for a moment that the darkness does not stop in the prison cells, reminding them that each person's motives and experiences may lead him to it. This is a David Finchery piece above, accompanied by beautiful photographs and a badly predictive soundtrack, but mostly not tempted by signs and conclusions, preferring to ask: Do we really know ourselves and those around us as we tell ourselves?

58. Who lives in Hill House

Originally: The Haunting of Hill House
Broadcasting Body: Netflix
Years: 2018 - Today

A phenomenal tour de force by Mike Flanagan, one of the most interesting original horror creators of the last decade ("Absentia," "The Gerald Games," and others). He brought to Netflix ten calculated and orchestrated episodes on the estate that haunted the Crane family, even long after they left her on one traumatic evening where their mother died. "Ghost can be many things. Memory, daydream, secret, but, anger, guilt," says the older brother in the opening episode, adding that "for the most part, ghost is a wish." All the ingredients he lists turn out to be layers of "who lives in Hill House," and they all haunt the Crane family in all the years that have passed since that summer until today.

Flanagan - who has also directed all the episodes - is very far removed from the story of Shirley Jackson's literary origin, but retains its essence: horror stemming from the psychology of the characters. In fact, beneath the ghostly tale, from one momentary moment to the next, "Who lives in Hill House" is mostly family drama in the shadow of trauma. What makes her successful is her ability to shine on both levels. To send shivers of fear to the back and sad arrows to the heart. And all this makes the series by spectacular technical means. Hordes of ghosts that are unintentionally hung in the shadows, can only be seen on close examination, a testament to the incredible design of the entire series, backed by beautiful photography and excellent acting.

57. Bright

Originally: Enlightened
Broadcasting Body: HBO (in Israel on yes)
Years: 2011-2013

Series such as "Bright" were, by their very nature, doomed to shelter. While Ultra New York's sometimes-brilliant-but-too-sophisticated-yet-bright-orange-black-and-the-orange-black, directly winked at the most hipster common denominator and gained the status of formative series, Mike White's comedy-drama and Laura Darren chose In a more refined path. Respectively, it was also seen as a minor, personal creation, one that could not conquer the hearts of the masses or produce a real buzz. Finally, it was canceled by HBO after only two seasons due to low ratings.

Too bad. In an era when quality television has become a factory for producing "important" series, such as "capturing the spirit of the era" and "reflecting the crisis of Western society," "Bright" has managed to do all these things without quotes, without a bit of swelling and focusing In one story about a small woman in a big corporation. Everything was there - the devastating capitalism, the crisis of feminism, the disintegration of the family unit - but White's wise and humane writing did not let the whole business become a simplistic allegory. The perfect cast and willingness to hurt characters on Larry David levels without dipping for a moment into David's grotesque have made "Bright" a masterpiece that went away prematurely.

56. Relax

Originally: Curb Your Enthusiasm
Broadcasting Body: HBO (yes and HOT in Israel)
Years: 2000-present

"Fuck me like Israel is fucking our land," cries Larry David's Palestinian lover. And that does it to him. That's the kind of humor we expect from David, and he has provided it in the past decade as well - even if this time it was in smaller quantities.

There are better series and there are better series, and there are Larry David series. "Relax" for the previous decade was what Seinfeld had for Nientes. It is impossible to reduce the importance of such series, as it would be crazy to argue about their quality. In the current decade, we've won a total of two seasons of the beloved misanthrope's feverish mind, and they've also come eight years apart. Still, those two were enough to mention that this is one of the greatest comic writers of all time. And the truth? The episode about the Palestinian chicken restaurant, in which Larry had to decide between his allegiance to the people of Israel and fried sex and chicken, is by far one of the biggest broadcasts on television screens this decade.

55. Downton Estate

Originally: Downton Abbey
Broadcasting body: ITV (yes and HOT in Israel)
Years: 2010-2015

In 2014, the first professional service school opened in Beijing. This was probably the dumbest influence of a TV series on local culture, but at the same time a symbol of the immense popularity of the Downton Estate. It's hard to believe that the creators of the period drama series intended to make the Butler profession a comeback, but the success gained by the series did its thing. Everyone wanted their own Carson.

When the series kicked off in 2010, it was hard to believe that a British series on the fall of early 20th century England aristocracy would become an international hit, but something in Downton was far more than a soap opera in a Victorian castle. There was something for everyone: tumultuous love stories between classes, sexual scandals and cynical British humor. These were all set against the backdrop of some of the greatest events in history - the sinking of the Titanic, World War I, the Spanish influence, and the rise of Nazism.

The series suffered from a problem that is not usually identified with British series: it was too long. The filmmakers seem to have been able to say what they wanted after the first three seasons, and at least the last two seasons of the series felt unnecessary and forced. In the past year, a feature film has been released that continues the series' storylines, winning a cold shoulder from some of its fans. Apparently people have forgotten one of the cutest love stories of the decade: Carson and Mrs. Hughes.

54. Cobra Kai

Broadcast Body: Premium YouTube (Available in Israel)
Years: 2018-present

In 2013, at least for a brief moment, Netflix became millions of fans happy as it revived the ingenious series "Disrupted Family," which aired a decade earlier on FOX until it was canceled three seasons later. It was the opening shot for one of the big trends of the teenage years - works of the past that get a new life. "Roseanne," "Will and Grace," "Bags in the Dark," "Prison Break," "Girls' Grief," "Gilmore Girls," "Twin Peaks," "Murphy Brown," and more. From the audience's point of view, most of the new series sparked interest, sometimes only at the beginning and sometimes beyond, but creatively most of those revelations turned out to be mostly a waste of time.

"Cobra Kai" is the distilled example of how to do it right. The YouTube series took it upon itself to bring to the small screen the sequel to one of the iconic and memorable films of the 1980s - "Karate Kid." Decades after the film's plot and those that follow, it once again puts the protagonist and villain - Daniel Laruso and Johnny Lawrence (Ralph Machio and William Zabke), but the villain is not a villain, and not sure the hero is a hero.

Very cleverly, the series centers on the battered Johnny, presenting the old story from his perspective and rebuilding the rivalry from time to time through the next generation, the children of both. In this way, "Cobra Kai" once again floods the familiar conflict between the two now-grown men, and yet maintains allegiance to the original kind - a youth drama. A new young generation who did not know the original can enjoy it as a work in itself, while the generations that grew up in the 1980s gain a series under which the memory, youth, childhood, immense potential of our lives. This is more evident than ever in moments when "Cobra Kai" jumps in a flashback to clips from the movies, when Machio and Zebka and we were fresh-faced. It’s a nostalgic value that has no two on TV and is full of compassion, love and longing that reflects well the great truth of “Cobra Kai” - it has a mighty soul.

53. The worst there is

Originally: You're The Worst
Broadcasting body: FX (yes in Israel)
Years: 2014-2019

The idea of ​​a romantic comedy about two man-hating sociopaths who eventually find themselves together wasn't already original in 2014, but "the worst there is" promised to be different. She was cynically drenched, blasted profusely (without saying a single crude word), despising romance and vomiting clichés like "happiness and wealth." Her quality of action supported the cause and managed to create a sense of indie series that strives against all conventions.

Over time, she slowed the paddling pace a bit and brought lots of exaggerated jokes, silly characters, and pretty retarded characters to the boat. But her superpower in general was in the drama, thanks to the post-trauma of liberated soldiers, paralyzing fear of intimacy, bad family relationships and, above all, coping with mania-depression - through a series of exemplary episodes in the second season, dubbed by critics and psychologists at the time as the most accurate television description Realistic bipolar disorder. When "The Worst Is There" wanted to touch something real and emotional, it was raw and beautiful. Most of the time she just wanted to laugh, and that was okay too.

52. Mozart in the Jungle

Originally: Mozart in the Jungle
Broadcast Body: Amazon Prime Video (in Israel on Cellcom TV. All episodes are now available in prime video)
Years: 2014-2018

In a perfect world, "Mozart in the Jungle" was "Exposure to the North" of this decade - a series full of magic and heartwarming, loving art and man despite his flaws, which despite its minor features is also a high-profile success. On the paper, he worked a lot for Mozart - Gael Garcia Bernal on the front, with helms like Malcolm McDowell and Bernadette Peters helping him, creating her creators regarded as Roman Coppola, Jason Schwartzman and Paul Weitz ("About the Boy"). Apparently that's what helped her to show some presence at the awards ceremony, with the Golden Globe for the series itself and Garcia Bernal and two Emmy Awards for Mix Sound.

Acting "Mozart in the Jungle" - a story about a young and eccentric conductor (Gael Garcia Bernal) coming to breathe new life into the New York Philharmonic, and against a young oboe player (Lola Kirk) trying to tap into this professional world - was another victim of the huge crowding of good series On screen in the teens. At the outset of Mozart, with the rising competition leading to smaller and smaller viewers' niches, a series like this managed to survive four seasons without many necessarily watching it. However, in the second part of the decade, the mood changed and it became too small a series in the world where television is getting bigger and bigger. A trend that is still washing us these days and its end is not in sight. In the meantime, the memories of a series will remain a bit eccentric and strange, with human abundance and wide heart.

51. The bridge

Originally: Bron / Broen
Broadcasting Body: SVT1 (in Israel on HOT)
Years: 2011-2018

Her body is on the bridge that connects Malmo to Copenhagen. One side of the body is located in Denmark, while the other side belongs to Sweden's jurisdiction. Police from both countries arrive at the scene of the murder and must understand that they must cooperate to find the criminal. Wow, what a perfect start to the series, which only gets better from this section. The first season of "The Bridge" surfaced in 2011, turning it into a formative series in breaking the psychological barrier of Israelis from works in foreign languages. Nowadays, precisely when the average TV consumer is flooded with high-quality series inflation, series has suddenly opened up to him in a variety of languages.

Saga Norn, the tough Swedish policeman, along with Martin and her other Danish partners, manage to not only crack down on crimes but also to bridge the so-similar and so different cultures of the Norwegian and Danish people. It is amazing that a series based on the nuances of two foreign languages ​​and with loads of references that only locals will know, has been so successful around the world outside Scandinavia. And on the other hand, does anyone even remember that the "bridge" also had American and British versions? Probably this language is overwritten.

50. Black appearance

Originally: Black Mirror
Broadcast Body: Channel 4 / Netflix (HOT / Netflix in Israel)
Years: 2011 - Today

The great wisdom in the early seasons of "Black Mirror" - while still airing on British Channel 4 at the beginning of the decade - was the precise ability to touch a bare social sadness and build on the basis of a fantastic, fantastical or even super-realistic storyline, one that can certainly stretch a thread between it and the situation today. The delicate and thought-provoking balance between "It Can Happen" and "It Happens" has been widening as the series has grown older, and the stories have become general but poignant to specific but streaky.

Maybe it's the switch to Netflix and the Americanization of the series that is to blame, maybe it's the reality that just caught up with gaps and maybe it's the pool of ideas by creator Charlie Broker that clearly began to dwindle. What is certain is that if "Black Mirror" were to be used as a kind of collective warning sign, then it failed miserably: The world, as expected, did not stop using technology and even stepped up gear. Which probably means her episodes should be looked at as pure entertainment. Some of them, in retrospect, do deliver this commodity and do it well, mainly thanks to the then anonymous British players who were obviously destined for greatness. Others, a bit like horror movies of yesteryear, no longer work.

49. Episodes

Originally: Episodes
Broadcast Body: Showtime (yes in Israel)
Years: 2011-2017

After Joey's spin-off series from "Friends" was one long nightmare for all participants and especially viewers, it was hard to believe that anyone in Hollywood would ever try to get into bed with Matt La Blanc. But David Crane, one of the creators of "Friends," came up with the idea of ​​using it in his own role, trying to cope with life after the great success.

But although Blank is the star of the series (and even won the Golden Globe for his role), the show steals Stephen Mangan and Tamzin Greg, the English couple who move from London to Los Angeles to write a sterilized American version of their successful British series. Compared to the show-within-the-show, in reality "Episodes" is an example of a perfect British-American collaboration, with the series consciously perpetuating stereotypes about the extroverted and extroverted American in the face of restrained and conservative English.

Just as Larry David is the exaggerated version of George Costanza in "Calm down," so Matt's character in "Episodes" is the exaggerated version of Joey Tribiani. And so, the "real" characters that exist in a more realistic world become grotesque and funnier. Aside from "Bojak Horsman," it's hard to think of many other series that portrayed Hollywood in a more transparent and funny way.

48. American Crime

Originally: American Crime
Broadcasting Body: ABC (in Israel on HOT)
Years: 2015-2017

Somewhere over the current decade, heavy, hard-to-watch content and face-to-face reality bargains have been appropriated from the "real" TV series and shattered into a series of cable and streaming channels. "The Pacific", "Roots", "Event Night", "Chernobyl", "Gipsy Rose", "When They See Us" and even "Sharp Objects" proudly raised the banner of realism and proudly carried it, while ABC, NBC and their friends Develop an allergy to a drama series that is just drama without jokes, light moments or xylophones in the background.

"American Crime" was probably the last of the broadcast series that tried to produce dirty, handsome TV without color, filters or musical rugs that signal the viewer how to feel. She, of course, also paid for this in low ratings. But John Ridley's uncompromising vision still stands proudly in front of most of the other "dramas" on the list, and still serves as a pertinent prosecutor against all the ills of American and human society. Kudos to ABC that nevertheless stuck to it for three seasons.

47. Transfer

Originally: Transparent
Broadcast Body: Amazon Prime Video (in Israel on HOT and on Cellcom TV. All episodes are now available on Prime Video)
Years: 2014-2019

Another Amazon niche series, but one that was far more prominent and significant, though for a long time it failed to maintain its quality until the end of the year with an awkward musical. Nevertheless, it is impossible to take from Transparent its importance as a series that has brought transgender both to the screen and backstage. Even in the late 21st century, hundreds of transgender people are still murdered every year in the Western world, and this is without regard to suicides. "Transparent" has given the face, voice and heart to these men and women, to the transformations they are experiencing. It has done so in a very tolerant and non-violent climate, the LA hipster scene that does not very much reflect the struggles many are forced to go through, but dealing with them with loving hands and most of the time is gentle and critical.

It is unclear what the place of "transfer" will be in the chronicles of the transgender struggle. The series itself drew a spotlight to a lesser-known era and place in history where trans flourished and prospered - Berlin of the 1920s. We all know how it ended. Meanwhile, in the fragments of 21st-century television, she was one of the most important on-screen series, and at its best one of the most beautiful, entertaining and exciting.

46. ​​Not sure

Originally: Insecure
Broadcasting Body: HBO (in Israel on HOT, yes and Cellcom TV)
Years: 2016 - Today

Black creation in the United States has been rather limited until recent years - sitcoms on black families, black romantic comedies, films on black and white political and social issues . Most of these works were aimed at an African-American audience more than any other audience (although we all in the country watched "Family Packaging"). But that is changing. Like ABC's "Black-and-Such", HBO's "Unsure" has also become a series that most viewers are not African American. One of the reasons is that multiethnic discourse in the United States is richer than ever, and we come to the obvious conclusion, many years later, that the experiences of all of us are similar.

The inspiration for "Unsure" came from the excellent network series "The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl" created by Issa Ray. The hit series that became a hit at the beginning of the decade provided an entertaining perspective on the life of an African-American young woman, and was innovative because it broke the boundaries of the strong, fashionable and confident black woman's stereotype. Instead, both she and the "unsure" that followed her presented an alternative - a funny, embarrassed and shumbled black woman who was a sight not only for black young women who were always expected to enter the same restrictive pattern, but for every woman as she was. Moreover, while admired by the general public, "Unsure" still manages to represent and celebrate the unique African American culture and life in modern America.

45. GLOW

Broadcast Body: Netflix
Years: 2017-Today

Of all the series that purported to engage with female representation over the past decade, feminism and other terms that the MeToo era has become hot buns, "Glow" is surely the most graceful and fun of all. But talking about it only in such terms is pretty boring and does a disservice to the other good things about it. For instance, designing the believable characters and confidence that none of these women, and for that matter any of the men, will ever do something that does not characterize him simply because the script has set. Or Alison Berry, Maron Soup and Betty Gilpin who inhabit their characters so naturally.

Even the design and costume department comes out with the ability to blast the screen in a colorful eights atmosphere that has been faithful to the period in an excellent and disgusting way. Nonetheless, there are dozens of women of all types, sizes, genders, and tendencies here, both before and after the scenes, and stories about female friendships, freedom of choice, and belligerent activism that get tangible expression in the wrestling arena. It's certainly not a matter of that, even today.

44. Turn a man into a killer

Originally: Making a Murderer
Broadcasting Body: Netflix
Years: 2015 - Today

The year 2015 was probably the culmination of the real crime series phenomenon, a kind of hint to come. The world behind it will become divided, suspicious, losing faith in traditional institutions. The concepts "truth" and "fact" will be emptied of content, and will become subject to interpretation. "The Jinx" and "Make a Murderer" both played on the buds of these phenomena, as well as the all-human longing to define good and bad, guilty and not guilty. In both cases, the filmmakers (Andrew Jarky in "The Jinx" and Moira Demos and Laura Ricardi in "Making a Killer") drifted to the edge of a thread, which led them deep to the surface of a complex affair. But here's where the similarity between the two ends.

While the "Jinx" dealt with the glowing side of capital-rule, the endless capabilities that Mammon had to get out of just about any trouble, "turning a man into a killer" turned the bowl over. Stephen Avery and Brendan Dassey, her desperate and unlucky heroes, represent the small, uninhibited man who finds himself one bright day in front of huge systems that seek to overpower him. In Avery's case, this happened after amazingly winning this battle once, only to find himself being run over by the same system again and furiously. This amazing and boisterous story also made the second season (which seemed unnecessary to her face) exciting and heartbreaking. One that makes it clear that on the roads of justice and equality for all, there are countless sacrifices that every injustice would have left without means to fight for their innocence.

43. Good stuff

Originally: Better Things
Broadcast Body: FX
Years: 2016 - Today

One of the talkbacks in the review I wrote about "good things" this year states that "this is a series that people under 40 won't understand." I'm not that far off, but I definitely disagree with that statement. Yes, there must be a certain state of mind to enjoy, but it has nothing to do with age, marital status, origin, sexual identity, job security or bank account status. "Good Things" is a series that takes universal situations and presents them in the most specific way possible, and the combination of a broad base and a narrow edge makes it impossible to identify with the protagonist, Sam Fox, but also not identify with it.

Pamela Adlon's magic, which she shares with her controversial counterpart Louis CK, lies in her ability to find and focus on the closest surrealistic point to reality, like a girl holding a balloon a moment before it blooms, but with no pretentiousness or self-importance. Although she writes it out of a certain prism of seniority, this series is not a nostalgic autobiography but rather a trial-mode piece of advice intended for anyone interested in listening to it. It has a lot beyond maturity and maturity - it has honesty, which is a hundred times more impressive.

42. Private Justice

Originally: Justified
Broadcasting Body: FX (Israel in HOT and Amazon Prime Video)
Years: 2010-2015

This great crime drama has flown so under the radar in Israel that it has no real viewers and HOT has not even bothered to broadcast its last three seasons (for a while it was redeemed by Amazon Prime Video, but without a Hebrew translation. Now it is no longer there ). "Private Justice" has never been a huge hit in the US either, but during her lifetime she managed to reach some notable creative highs, headed by the mighty second season with Margo Martindale (who won her role in my mother), and the fourth season which was just as exemplary.

Also beyond these two impressive highs was a consistently excellent series, which remained true to the touch of Elmore Leonard ("Catch Shorty," "3:10 for her day"), whose novel is based on Raylan Givens' character - played by Timothy Oliphant. Kerry, human and real heroes and criminals, whose feet are always rooted in the southern soil. While in a television world that has accustomed us to anti-heroes suffering the consequences of their character and actions, Raylan Givens was invincible, but he was astonishingly helpful: Boyd Crowder's magnetized figure, played by the mighty Walton Goggins. The joint way these two have done on both sides of the bar reached a rewarding peak this past season, as well as a very satisfying final episode.

41. Derry girls

Originally: Derry Girls
Broadcast Body: Channel 4 (in Israel on Netflix)
Years: 2018 - Today

Television has always been populated with comedies about troublemakers. Boys want me. But this decade opened the door to less obvious voices, and in came Lisa McGee, whose "Derry Girls" is based on her experiences as a teenager in the Northern Irish city of Londonderry in the 1990s. The security situation is bursting and tense, bombshell alerts midway disrupt the agenda, but for the heroines of the series - four girlfriends and one of their poor English cousin - this is just the setting in which they get into ordinary, hysterical trouble while their Catholic high school nurse, Sister Michael, rolling her eyes.

Asked for her deep planting in the 1990s, Derry Girls has a nostalgic dimension that takes on the validity of period music, rubbed jeans from all over, references to "cheap literature," for McCully Kalkin. And so on.But unlike the craziness that can be found in many other series, "Derry Girls" doesn't just give in to the feeling of yearning. This may be because of the widespread and suspicious reality, but it's more likely the murderous joke that leaves little room for longing, and in particular makes it one of the funniest series on screen. And while it seems that, out of principle and consciously, it avoids stickiness and emotionality most of the time, it has an innocence that is a big part of its charm. It gracefully and lightly evokes a temporary youthful experience of friends, parents and teachers, and despite the geographical and temporary remoteness - makes us feel for a moment as if we were also there with them at Derry Catholic High School.

Like every parade, the one in front of you reflects something relative and partial, in part because of the vast amount of content of this decade. The raters - Ido Isaiah, Ilan Kaprov, Ophir Artzi, Amit Slonim, Natalia Yermin, Ophir Sagarsky, Pini Eskel and Hadar Torowitz - chose the decade series with a mix of quality, importance and love, not necessarily in this order. Since there is a difference between series that run over time and those that are initially limited to a certain number of episodes, the parade does not include mini-series. This is also why we chose not to include series that started in 2019, despite our great love for much of it. At this point, the teenage fabric is unclear, and we will probably meet many of them in the next decade, and certainly in December, in this year's series parade.
