A real little gem television, the series focuses on the very close relationship that binds Lorelai Gilmore, her daughter Rory that she fell pregnant at the age of 16 years. In addition to their loves and the complicated relationship that the duo meets with the parents of Lorelai, Gilmore Girls also portrays the daily life of the inhabitants of Stars Hollow, a small town american populated with characters as lunar as endearing. More than just another family comedy to the u.s., the series has become a model thanks to its dialogues more than perfect and its great references to pop culture. A condensed version of a good mood, certainly.

3 – Parks and Recreation

Little known in France, Parks and Recreation, still deserves all our attention (and our love). In the vein of the Office, the nbc sitcom puts in scene the daily life of the employees of the department of parks and recreation of the small fictional town of Pawnee. We discovered the character of Leslie Knope, a model employee with great political ambitions. Hilarious, touching, whimsical, but also feminist, the heroine pulled by Amy Poehler, is surrounded by characters as wacky as she is. Dialogues cults, actors in total symbiosis, Parks and Recreation, is a real little ray of sunshine.

As its name suggests, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend focuses on an ex-girlfriend a bit sticky. But Rebecca is far from being crazy, it is above all a dreamer, complex and full of neuroses. As far-fetched as its heroine, the series is also a real breath of fresh air. Rachel Bloom (interpreter of Rebecca and creator of the series) ose interspersed episodes of musical numbers, has fun with the discomfort of the viewers, and grinds the codes of the romantic comedy in every sense. Has mater and quickly.
