If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you’ve probably noticed how TV shows are stealing the spotlight from movies, and attracting more attention. We’ve probably all watched and even gotten obsessive over at least one TV show. We’ve all wished to live the crazy life events our favorite fictional characters are living. But have you noticed the unhealthy impact TV shows sometimes leave on you and the dissatisfaction with how mundane real life seems after watching the unrealistically heroic lives that exist in most TV dramas nowadays?
The good news is that we can turn this around! What if we watch realistically adventurous shows that focus on lifelike events we all face? What if instead of killing monsters and saving the day, or even robbing banks in the cleverest way, we watch inspiring victories that could be achieved? Say, at work perhaps?
Here a few shows that portray life at the office and all the drama that comes with it.
Suits
Not all heroes wear capes, some of them wear suits! This show mainly takes place in a law firm and follows the closing of cases, and the triumphs the main characters achieve in their work life. All whilst keeping a crazy secret that could ruin the future of the firm. Bonus point: Meghan Markle aka the duchess of England is on the show, and that’s pretty much the cherry on top.
