The 'After the Credits' team picked 10 cool series that deserve more viewer attention than they get.

We live in an era of the greatest TV series boom. Literally every year a new project appears that is called a masterpiece and one of the best projects in history. It's no wonder that in such times you can miss many cool and worthy series.

The editorial team of "After the Credits" decided to pay tribute to interesting and unusual modern multi-part dramas, highlighting as many as 10 cool series that no one talks about, or about which they speak criminally little.

Dead to Me (2019 - Present)

Sarcastic Jen becomes a widow, after which she meets Judy, who is completely opposite in character. An illogical friendship arises between the women, especially since Judy has one big secret directly related to Jen.

Producer Liz Feldman created the successful sitcom "2 Broke Girls," and the project "Dead to Me" only cemented her status as a prominent showrunner. This series hooks with the amazing chemistry between lead actresses Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini, a twisty plot with bright twists, and an abundance of black humor. If you're going to make series about real female friendship, they should be just like this.

Succession (2018 - Present)

In the wealthy Roy family, a pressing question arises: who will inherit the empire after the death of family patriarch Logan Roy? Intrigue, betrayal, a real bloodbath for power, and the main lessons in life: happiness can't be bought with money.

One might think this is another drama from the "the rich also cry" category. However, "Succession" is not a reimagining of the series "Dirty Sexy Money," which it somewhat resembles in description; it raises much more interesting and profound questions, and the directing and acting (especially the magnificent Brian Cox and Kieran Culkin) elevate the series to a qualitatively different level.

The Terror (2018-2019)

This is a fictional story based on historical events about two lost ships in the Arctic that set out on an expedition there. The ships were never actually found, but the eerie remains of people were discovered. The series showed an alternative view with elements of fiction of what could have happened there.

You will experience real psychological horror from what is happening on the screen. There are strong characters and impressive historically accurate details. The atmosphere of claustrophobia on the two ships is simply off the charts. People try to fight the cold and the horror in other people's eyes. No one wants death, and the most terrible human qualities find their face here. Very realistic and harsh. The ending of each episode makes you want to continue watching. Cinematographically, the series is beautifully executed, accompanied by wonderful soundtracks. The main roles feature a stellar British cast.

Later, the series became an anthology but retained its name for Season 2. The action here moves to Japanese American colonies during the war. The narrative is based on Japanese folk legends and a supernatural spirit. All this against the backdrop of the complex relationship between Americans and Japanese, oppression, racism, and a state of war. The season is as good as the first, but draws more with its plot than the viewing effect.

Kidding (2018-2020)

At the center of attention is the host of a children's puppet show, Jeff, who performs under the pseudonym Mr. Pickles, teaching children across the country about kindness, self-confidence, and optimism. But is it easy to do this when your life is one continuous tragedy?

The tandem of Jim Carrey and Michel Gondry has proven itself since the time of "Eternal Sunshine," and the chemistry between actor and director is visible in every frame. At the same time, Jim's smile, full of pain and sadness, almost blurs the line between fiction and reality, allowing you to see once again that a person who can make people laugh can also be a profound dramatic actor.

Ozark (2017 - Present)

This is a crime drama about anti-heroes: a family that finds itself at the center of dealings with drug traffickers after moving to another city. If a bunch of Emmy and Golden Globe nominations aren't a reason for you to watch this series, then it's worth remembering that this is Jason Bateman's best role of his entire career to date.

The most attractive and strong sides of the series are the characters and the plot development. The heroes here are intelligent, and the plot is perfectly written. The characters are much more complex than they seem at first glance. You won't ask unnecessary questions or catch a "facepalm." Everything around creates the necessary and correct atmosphere, from the color palette of the series to the soundtracks. A quality story with deep meaning. Plus, it's quite realistic.

The Blacklist (2013 - Present)

One of the most wanted and dangerous criminals surrenders directly to the FBI, offering them the deal of the century: to hand over one criminal element from his personal list at a time. However, he has one unexpected condition: cooperation is only possible with the participation of a young and inexperienced girl who has only recently joined the agency ranks.

Well, the series has been proving for many seasons that, even gradually moving away from the original concept, skilled showrunners can artfully manipulate the viewer's interest, and the convincing performance of James Spader only contributes to this. The variety of situations involving representatives of the criminal world can be compared to a buffet for lovers of the detective genre.

Castle Rock (2018 - Present)

In the first season, the series was presented as an anthology and multiverse of stories by Stephen King. Here, in a fictional town, the writer's familiar characters, vices, and horrors are mixed. But the story turned out to be so confusing that many were unsatisfied with the ending, as the ratings indicate.

At the same time, the second season turned out to be much better than the first. Here, the story focuses on one of Stephen King's most famous characters. We're talking about Annie Wilkes from "Misery." The main reason to watch the second season is actress Lizzy Caplan, who plays the role of Annie. This is an incredible embodiment of the image of a mentally unhealthy girl who can smile sweetly and at the same time kill with a single ice cream scoop. A strong plot, a good and interesting backstory for the character. Very many Easter eggs referencing other works by King. Fans will definitely love it.

Into the Dark (2018 - Present)

An amazing horror anthology, the fruit of collaboration between Jason Blum's studio and the streaming service Hulu, has been delighting viewers for 2 years with diverse episodes dedicated to significant holidays.

Conceptual series are a rarity these days. That makes "Into the Dark" all the more valuable, releasing monthly one-and-a-half-hour episodes about Halloween, Easter, or Valentine's Day. Moreover, there are even internal sequels here (the second season has an episode that develops the ideas of one of the first season's episodes)! It can't be said that all episodes are equally successful, but at its best moments, this show can truly surprise.

The Expanse (2015 - Present)

At the center of the story is a ship's crew that accidentally becomes a key player in an interplanetary conflict after stumbling upon an abandoned spacecraft with an unknown entity on board.

The world of the series is highly developed and immediately immerses you in it. There is socio-economic inequality, slavery, the working class's struggle for survival, and resource scarcity. And at the same time, the show is so detailed that the directing team even calculated how light reflects off the Earth and the Moon's surface at certain times of day.

This is one of the best science fiction series on TV at the moment, which critics have already dubbed "Game of Thrones" in space.

After Life (2019 - Present)

Tony's wife dies, and he contemplates suicide, but then who will feed his beloved dog? This circumstance forces the middle-aged man to continue living, trying to find at least some meaning in life.

"After Life" is a one-actor show. Ricky Gervais shines here in all his glory, demonstrating his acting abilities and screenwriting skills. He reflects on life and its pleasures through the prism of undisguised sarcasm, and it's damn captivating. One of the best currently running series on Netflix.
