10 Best New TV Shows Of 2016 Ranked

8. This Is Us

Stranger Things
NBC

Dan Fogelman, writer of "Crazy, Stupid, Love," brings us an amazing new series in 2016, This Is Us.

The show takes four, seemingly, separate stories concerning different people who share the same birthday. The stories are slowly woven together through small details, emotional confrontations between the characters and well-written plot twists. The acting is realistic and the characters truly bring their situation to life, in the happiest, saddest, and angriest moments.

While the great writing, visuals, and acting all make This Is Us a hit show in the making, what really hooks viewers are the constant plot twists and surprises waiting around every corner. Seemingly "normal" stories like a bachelor tired of single life, a married couple expecting triplets, and a businessman seeking his biological father, are all worked on and developed is a most shockingly pleasing way.

I like to think of myself as a world traveler and social butterfly, although I do spend a lot of my time watching the latest Japanese anime series, sitcoms, movies, and drama series. I live on the island of Crete, where I was born, and enjoy walking on the beach with my little cocker spaniel, Molly, when I'm not writing for WhatCulture.com and UNILAD.co.uk.
