Fannish Friday: Shows That Are You
There's a meme going around Tumblr asking for 8 television shows that you would show someone to get to know you.
I had a hard time narrowing them down, because I love a lot of shows! But these are the ones that I think most represent the range of who I am and what my interests are:
1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer - represents one of my most important fandoms, my age, my feminism, my love of fantasy shows, etc.
2. The Untamed - another one of my most important fandoms, represents my affection for non-English television, character-driven epics, really earned romances, sibling stories, etc.
3. The West Wing - represents my love of talky shows, ensembles, idealism, trying to make the world a better place, drama laced with humor, etc.
4. White Christmas (2010) - represents the years I spent watching k-dramas, my darker side, moral quandaries, my interest in psychological suspense, more ensembles, murder babies, etc.
5. New Girl - I do need one comedy, since I like them, even if I'm much much more of a drama person. This one is, to my mind, the representative millennial comedy (in the same way that Friends is the representative white Gen X comedy). I love every character too too too much.
6. Black Sails - represents my adoration of messy moral situations, anarchism, queer stuff, intricately crafted writing, and costume dramas.
7. The Hour - represents my interest in the power of writing/journalism, mysteries, the importance of democracy and the free exchange of ideas but also the truth, exploring class stuff, etc.
8. Star Treks - I am a nerd. Jk jk. This is all about my childhood, my idealism, my love of anything in spaaaaaace, sprawling (if messy and inconsistent) worldbuilding, hope for the future, scifi, and Vulcans.
Runners-up: Community, Healer, Press Gang, Shut Up! Flower Boy Band, Age of Youth, Designing Women, Andor
What 8 shows would you pick? Tell me in the comments (with as much or as little explanation as you like) or make your own post! I want to know y'all!
