And now, the time is nigh for another contest!

Contest #3: Significant TV Shows

Write about your unforgettable experience with the most cinematic, artistic, and underrated TV shows (including animated ones).

The contest idea comes from @zayedsakib. When I was talking with him about a new contest, he suggested we could do one with significant tv shows.

TV shows usually have a lower budget and they're targeted at the TV audience. We do not usually expect the shiny, polished feel of a feature film. Yet, in many cases, some TV shows become exemplary.

When I think of such shows, immediately a few names pop into my mind. Twin Peaks, Dekalog.
I lose myself in them, I submerge myself in the ethereal beauty they readily promise.

There are a few modern shows too that I find irresistible. Planet Earth II, Hannibal, Penny Dreadful, Person of Interest. Mushishi. Kino No Tabi.

There are also single-season mini-series like Band of Brothers, Parades End, Paranoia Agent. that rocked my world, moved me deeply.

I believe these shows can compete in the highest arena for their innate greatness.

And I know many of you have such shows you would like to talk about with fervent enthusiasm!

This contest is then, for you!
