10 Most Underrated TV Shows Of The Last 10 Years

10. How To With John Wilson

Each episode of documentary filmmaker John Wilson's series sets out to teach us 'How to' do seemingly ordinary tasks such as improving our memories or protecting our furniture from damage. If that sounds too boring, don't worry, it's also very funny.

The journeys that each lesson takes us on are often eye-opening and strange. For example, the most recent episode How to Appreciate Wine tackles energy drinks, field rations and scented bowling balls. The further that WIlson gets away from the subject, the more insightful he becomes.

On top of this, the show is also a great social document of life in New York, roaming the streets, seeking out the beguiling sights you can only find in such a diverse metropolis.

One of the best episodes is How to Make the Perfect Risotto, in which John sets out to make his landlady a meal as a thank you. Over the course of the episode, he documents the early stages of the COVID19 pandemic in New York - the panic buying, the fear and the skepticism.

It doesn't appear to have made it over to the UK yet, but this strange, hilarious and moving document of our times deserves to be more widely seen.
