The first episode is bof but these series are worth gold

The series is like everything, sometimes we must persevere a little to discover their true value …
Sometimes when you watch a series, the magic operates from the first minutes and we find ourselves wanting to watch the barely finished pilot … And sometimes it’s a little the opposite, the first episode is slow, the characters are not Not very endearing, in short, we do not catch what. And yet, behind a failed driver often hide little nuggets next to which we almost passed . Many comedies are in this category since, typically, they are series based mainly on the characters, on their alchemy and their humor rather than on a thrilling plot. And it’s hard to appreciate them without attaching a minimum to them and finding them nice to laugh at their jokes, but it’s a complicated exercise in an episode, especially when it only lasts for about thirty minutes.
The Office US
A excellent series sometimes corresponds to a mediocre driver. Too close to the UK version, the very first episode of The Office presents us a Michael Scott heavy and not very funny ( if it changes in the sequel ) with jokes falling flat . Add to this some characters who do not always feel comfortable – like Dwight – and you get an episode that does not really want to watch next . And yet, after a difficult season, it is only happiness.
The 100
The apocalyptic shows also have their failures. With its plot inspired by Kass Morgan’s books, The 100 had a good foundation but introduced us in a clumsy way to a universe not always coherent and especially to cliché characters as possible. Teenagers stereotyped and unbearable, dialogues flat and predictable … Everything was combined to flee this series . Yet after the pilot, but especially after the first half of season 1, the characters evolve – and reflect – and the plot catches us up, phew.
Agents of SHIELD
We adore Phil Coulson and the whole world of the Avengers, difficult to hang on to the pilot of Agents of SHIELD. And for good reason, between his intrigue a little too already seen and his characters too smooth, the pilot is certainly not the best episode of the series . All categorized in a rigid role, May, Jemma, Fitz, Phil and the others are far from expressing their potential that one ends up discovering in the following episodes and this for our greatest happiness.
The L Word
It must be admitted that the pilot of The L Word plunges us directly into the mood, but perhaps a little too directly justly. Bette, Tina, Alice, Shane and all the little lesbian group in Los Angeles do not take tweezers and are almost more graphic than most episodes . Moreover, to see all this from the point of view of the ingenious Jenny who discovers this world by opening his eyes is a little cliché and does not honor a series that shows much more subtlety and complexity in the sequel.
Parks and Recreation
Like many comedies, the pilot of Parks and Rec is not really a success and has difficulty to seduce us with his clumsy characters and her atypical heroine. Leslie Knope is not shown in her best light and it will take a few episodes before realizing her charisma and intelligence . Season 1 is not the best but the rest of the series shows us the real source of inspiration that is Leslie, surrounded by a team as endearing as funny.
To these series which have not been helped by their pilot one can also add How I Met Your Mother with his laughs recorded which has passed as a pale copy of FRIENDS , or even FRIENDS herself who had not Quite seduced the critics at the time. Seinfeld suffered the same fate, as did 30Rock and his rough pilot. In short, we do not always succeed all at once, but it is not a reason to give up, a beautiful lesson that works both in life and for series! And you, which pilots did not convince you?

We all know FRIENDS, but it is far from being the only comedy that is worth the detour!
No, on TV there are not only dramas or police series that repeat the same pattern until cancellation. Comedies are not what are missing and some of them are clearly worth the detour. Because a good comedy is not just a few jokes, laughs recorded and a development of characters almost non-existent. No , a good comedy is the one that knows how to make cry as well as it makes laugh and that has characters so endearing that one has the impression to find friends as soon as one begins an episode . Of course, there are too many to quote, but we offer you some of our favorites to which you can add yours in the comments!
The Office US
Initially Anglo-Saxon then declined to the American, The Office US is a true blow of heart for so many reasons that it would take too many lines to quote them all. So we hope that you trust us enough to believe us when we say that this series on a company that sells paper with an embarrassing boss at its best is one of the best comedies that we have ever seen .
This is Netflix which offers one of the best comedies of the small screen created and produced by Tina Fey, if it is not already a guarantee of quality … Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has an original pitch – Kimmy return to normal life in New York After 15 years imprisoned in a bunker – which seduces quickly but especially a cast 5 stars and jokes as funny as relevant. As in her other 30 Rock series , Tina Fey uses the political and cultural world as a bottomless reserve for well-founded jokes that always make you laugh after seeing the episodes 4 times, fan word.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Unlike her sexist title, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a condensed feminism and good humor, all linked by incredible songs that remain in mind whether we like it or not. The heroine Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom, also co-creator of the series) puts everything to go to live in California and find his love of youth with the hope of regaining it . This relatively ordinary pitch is relieved by the solar personality of Rebecca and all the characters who cross her path. All episodes have their little dose of madness and truth about the world around us, all told in music. What to combine useful and very pleasant laughing a good shot!
Veep
Attention, sensitive ears refrain. By following the (political) adventures of Vice President Selina Meyer, Veep gives us the opportunity to realize how politics can sometimes be absurd. But most of all, it’s THE series to hear the best parts of the whole screen . The flourishing and inventive language of all the characters – but especially Selina – gives us incredible burns, unpublished and often very imagined. What to congratulate the screenwriters who write the dialogues and ask what would happen if Selina was as talented in politics as in comeback …
Community
We end our small list by the masterpiece that is Community . By bringing together a group of friendly and engaging students who are studying together at Greendale, Community could look like any set of teenagers. Except that it’s just the reverse: with its students of all ages, its colorful characters – especially the Dean – and its incredible intrigues, Community is a bit the mindblowing series that surprises each episode and up ‘In the last season .
As has already been said, it is impossible to cite all the comedies that are worth the detour. We have not forgotten the cultist Seinfeld , the excellent Master of None , Parks and Recreation, That 70’s Show, Black-ish, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and more and better. Whatever it is proves that one always needs to laugh, and fortunately that the series are there for that. And you, what are your favorite comedies?
