by During the 1990’s, with the dire lack of entertainment channels, the only few shows you ever get to watch in DoorDashan was Junoon, Jungle Book, Oliyum Oliyum(Tamil) and of course the daily news. Junoon , only next to CID, was the longest running TV series in Indian Television and was quite the craze around that time. Everyone was quite addicted to the show for several years and watched it religiously
Back to the 21st century in 2016 and now we are faced with a plethora of TV channels offering 100’s of shows and movies back to back , some even in HD content. In addition to this, NetFlix has also launched in India offering hours of quality entertainment at nominal prices.
You are now faced with innumerable choices in TV Shows and wondering which one to watch. Given the limited time to watch TV, I have put together a list of Fantastico TV shows that you should definitely watch and leave all the rest for a later viewing. All you need to do is to stream the content or get the DVD of the following shows, sit back and experience the thrill ride
Homeland : This CIA spy/anti-terrorism/espionage thriller show has been rated the top thriller series in every EMMY award for the last 3-4 years. Based on a mini series and a book, this show captures the real essence of the Homeland department trying to infiltrate the enemy and fight terror hands on
The acting is top notch and employ advanced methods in tracking down the enemy and win battles. This show clearly demonstrates the state of insurgency and threats every country is facing, due to terrorism.

Person Of Interest: In case you are a Nolan brothers fan and you happen to discover a show that’s written and directed by Jonathan Nolan, imagine your excitement. Person of Interest delivers just that. A show based on machine learning programming, Artificial Intelligence and hacking, POI just gets better and better with every season to come. A machine, that predicts the next crime that is about to happen and identifies the person involved in that crime ( either as a victim or the perpretrator) forms the premise of the show.
