It’s quite possible to get used to charming and interesting heroes in one and a half to two hours - this is the average movie timing. Then you have to move away from the movie, hope for the second part (and also that it will not be ruined) or look for something new, no less high-quality. So isn’t it easier to immediately start watching a serial film? Fortunately, the choice is now vast.
In our article, we will mainly look at youth series, a list of the best of them will be provided under each category. There you will find short descriptions of one or two sentences in order to have an approximate idea of the plot. Some popular TV shows will also be of interest to the older generation.
Where are we without love
It doesn't matter if you have a soul mate or not. Youth series about love like both single and couples. Especially if the plot component is good, in this case the genre generally plays the last role.
You can not do without teenage, the usual first love. This is almost a separate topic, which can be extremely interesting to watch. As you understand, here (more precisely, a little lower) there are also youth series about love and school. Foreign, true, but we will talk about Russian cinema separately.
- "Friends". Three girls and as many guys live in the neighborhood and fall in love - now with each other, then with others.
- "What is this love called?" The Indian series about the relationship of the usual longing love of a young lady and a cruel heartless businessman.
- "Blind love". A rich girl and a poor guy love a friend, but something (and someone) constantly interferes with them. Will they be able to overcome all the obstacles to happiness?
- "Anatomy of passion." The events of the series take place in a Seattle hospital. Doctors here not only treat patients, but also dream of great and bright love, but not everyone is lucky.
Teenage years: TV series about schoolchildren and students
It's time to move on to a category that will appeal to young boys and girls rather than an adult audience. Of course, there are exceptions, some youth series about teenagers can be appreciated by the older generation ... However, these films are designed not for children, but not for adults.
- “Bad” (“Garbage”). Several difficult teenagers receive lightning during public works, as a result of which each of them has superpowers.
- "Dredgers." A series about the ordinary life of adolescents who do not care about the rules and who want to live, have fun and try everything new, whether it's drugs, sex, alcohol, parties and other amenities of life.
- "Shameless." The main characters are members of a little crazy family who have to survive, because they are too lazy to work, but they need money. Also, the viewer will meet their friends, comrades and the same whimsical neighbors.
- The Queen of Scream. This series has everything: students, brotherhoods, sisterhoods, murders, scandals-intrigues-investigations, black humor, and most importantly - ridicule of clichés of typical horror films and thrillers.
Plunge into the past
Interesting series - whether they are youth or not - in most cases show us the events of our time. However, there are exceptions, and very pleasant ones, where the main actions take place in the distant past.
- "Game of Thrones". The fierce struggle for the throne between the Seven Kingdoms is not complete without bloodshed, wars, scandals, intrigues and betrayals.
- "Merlin." Arthur is the future greatest king, and he must be constantly protected from the dangers lurking everywhere. True, this has to be done secretly from everyone, including from the prince himself, because witchcraft is under the strictest ban.
- Black Sails. Yo ho ho! The series will appeal to all fans of the pirate theme, because here there is not only a high-quality picture and a fascinating plot, but also well-known character names.
- "Rome". The struggle for power is the most fertile topic for the historical series. In Rome, for example, the action takes place during the reign of Julius Caesar, who suddenly became a real obstacle to many.
Laughter is the best cure for ... everything
You can’t discuss interesting youth series and avoid comedy. Of course, most films in one way or another touch on the topic of humor - somewhere more, somewhere less, it can be vulgar, dirty, black, kind, subtle, etc. That is why, to be really funny, you need to find "your" series.
- Black Bookstore. All the curious adventures of the main characters in ninety percent of cases are limited to four walls of a small bookstore.
- "Clinic". Unlike the previous series, here it happens in a hospital. Colorful characters and high-quality and understandable humor even for people far from medicine make this series extremely popular.
- "Computer scientists." In the small basement of a huge office building, two guys and one girl who does not know computers were seated - they are all employees of the IT department. Strange bosses, a mysterious colleague in a hidden room, the spoiled nerves of the main characters and the eternal question: “Have you tried turning it off and on?” will please the audience.
Scary? That's what calculation
Interesting series (youth most often, but sometimes designed for an audience of any age) can be frightening - it’s not always fun to amuse the viewer, right? Some are completely devoted to mystical phenomena, others - to murders and bloody events, others delight with black humor, others combine all of the above.
- "American Horror Story". Each season of the series is dedicated to a separate story: the viewer will look into a haunted house, see the horrors of a psychological clinic, plunge into the atmosphere of a freak circus ... And also will love some actors, because even the scenarios are different, the faces of the main characters often do not change.
- “Terrible Tales” (“Thunderous Horrors”). People and creatures like Count Dracula, Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, and others familiar through various films, legends, and tales will appear from series to series as negative characters. The main characters here are an ordinary American guy and a beautiful medium girl who conquered him.
- "The embodiment of fear." In the series, each issue is a separate scary story with an unexpected ending and bloody details. Vampires, demons, cannibals, serial killers - “The Incarnation of Fear” has collected everything that current horror fans like.
- “The High of Summer” (“Dead Summer”). Several students are returning as counselors to the camp, where they once had a rest. Each has its own secrets, which constantly emerge in the form of memories, sometimes in the form of ghosts. But soon boys and girls have a common problem, because someone wants to resurrect a mythical dark creature that will not leave anyone alive.
Intelligence is always held in high esteem
New youth series (as well as relatively old ones, too) promote to the masses the idea that it’s good to be smart. And this is correct, because it is much more interesting to communicate with an erudite person than with a limited one. Below are the series where the main characters are geniuses. They read people by gestures, looks and gestures, notice the smallest details, observe what many do not see, and have rich knowledge, which is what causes the audience’s admiration.
- Sherlock. The series shows what will happen if the greatest detective of all time and people Sherlock Holmes is in modern times.
- The mentalist. Once the main character pretended to be a psychic and made good money. But his wife’s death changed him, and now Patrick works with the police as a consultant to catch the most cunning and ruthless serial killer.
- "Clairvoyant". Unlike the previous series, here the main character pretends to be psychic for almost all episodes. He has no abilities, but there is observation, attentiveness and knowledge of the basics of physiognomy.
Not only movies made on comics
Graphic novels have long captured the planet. And since there are so many filmed films, then why can't there be TV shows? This is exactly what the current generation will be interested in. Perhaps so far there are not as many of them as we would like - youth series about love and school, especially foreign ones, are more in demand. But over time, surely there will be much more comic book works.
- "Preacher". Once a priest becomes a vessel for a creature that is absolute evil.
- "Arrow". After a five-year stay on a desert island, Oliver returned to his hometown. The once rich daddy’s son changed, matured, learned to masterly shoot from a bow and decided to fight crime.
- Flash. Once a guy accidentally gets the ability to move at incredible speed. Then his adventures begin.
- "Gotham." The action of the series takes place in those years when Bruce was a little boy, and not a thunderstorm of the entire city in a mask. The viewer sees the formation of the hero, as well as the appearance of his main future enemies.
Crime is better watched than committed
Criminal stories are interesting to people just like, for example, youth series about love. The viewer has to worry with double power for the main characters, regardless of the “chosen side” - in all the films related to crimes, there are both positive and negative characters.
- "How to Avoid the Punishment of Murder." Strict and strong woman teaches young men and women the secrets of art. But not everything is so smooth, because soon the children and their teacher will have a common secret.
- "Breaking bad". When doctors diagnose cancer, people behave differently. Our protagonist planned to squeeze the most out of the last months of his life and climbed headlong into the most profitable and dangerous business - the drug trade.
- "The escape". Getting an unjustly accused brother out of prison is a good thing. That's just extremely dangerous and risky. But absolutely all viewers will like to watch this process, the main thing is to watch the American version (Prison Break).
alternative reality
Perhaps somewhere there really are parallel worlds that we have no idea about. In any case, they are not available to us, so there is nothing left to do but watch interesting TV shows - youth films of different years, with which you can immerse yourself in alternative universes.
- "Once upon a time, in a Fairytail". It turns out that fairy tales that almost everyone read in childhood were not invented at all - there are places where Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, the Evil Queen and other characters live and live. In the first seasons, they live right in our modern world, except that they don’t remember their essence because of the curse.
- "Sliding" ("Parallel Worlds"). A young scientist invents a device that allows you to move through space into other universes. Problems begin when a guy with his unfortunate comrades fell into a parallel world, but lost the opposite coordinates.
- "Doctor Who". Another series that touches on the topic of movement, perhaps not only in space, but also in time.
Russian series
For that matter, let's support the domestic manufacturer. Russian youth series, contrary to the general opinion, can also be of high quality and interesting - certainly not all and not everyone, but still. Most on the television market are comedy sketches, as they are in demand. But you can find other genre categories, because Russian youth series should cover the entire audience of the viewer, and not be limited to lovers of a laugh.
- "Chernobyl: Exclusion Zone." Pripyat is a dangerous place. The company of guys goes there to catch up with the insolent who robbed them, but in the end everything gets out of control.
- "Univer: New hostel." A fun series about the lives of ordinary students who live in a hostel and have to spend a lot of time together.
- "Method". A detective series about an excellent investigator, revealing crimes one after another, and a trainee girl who soon after working with a cool teacher begins to suspect that he is a serial killer.
As you already understood, the article contains both new youth series and not so much. They are united by quality: they are interesting, good and should appeal to modern people, despite the years of release. We hope that at least some youth series, the list of the best of which we have presented to you on a silver platter, have interested you, so it seems that in the near future you will no longer be tormented by the question: "What to do?" and boredom.
