Silicon Valley
«Кремниевая долина» это must watch для всех программистов. История о компьютерщиках, которые пытаются создать свою программу и продвинуть ее на рынке, стала одним из самых успешных сериалов на IT-тематику. Будьте готовы к достаточно сложной компьютерной лексике. Но помимо нее в сериале очень много общеразговорного английского, поэтому, если вы уже можете похвастаться Upper-Intermediate, смело скачивайте и погружайтесь в мир современных технологий и реалий настоящей Кремниевой долины в Сан-Франциско.
Jared: What’s happening? I’m sorry, what? Mr. Car?
Dinesh: (driving through a campground) How could it be this crowded?
Jared: Burning Man's in two weeks, so people are beta testing their new gear.
Dinesh: Why would people who aren't refugees choose to come here and live like refugees? You know that's not, like, a desirable thing, right? Living like a refugee? Ugh! This place is offensive to homeless people.
Mayor: The only things I have left to cut are essential services.
Gavin: There you go. Do that. You could have a volunteer fire department. Because I can't afford a penny more than this. (Boards his private jet)
Jared: I have a lifelong aversion to my own image. You know, it's like my foster mother used to say, "Donald, you have a face for the closet."
Holden: Lock them up! Lock them up!
Dinesh: Jesus, Jared. You really did a number on that kid.
Jared: God. Yeah. I just chipped away everything that wasn't Richard's assistant and this is what's left.
Monica: Colin went camping. Alone.
Jared: Well, did she say where he went?
Monica: The Los Trancos Preserve?
Jared: Wait. I know exactly where that is. I used to go foraging for mushrooms with my friend Muriel there before she passed away.

The Get Down
Сериал о зарождении и расцвете хип-хопа в Южном Бронксе с сюжетом, основанным на реальных событиях. Здесь нет жизни зажиточных классов американского общества, здесь — все о выживании в бедных кварталах представителей абсолютно разных этнических групп, которые говорят на очень уникальном и энергичном английском. Приготовьтесь к бесконечному американскому сленгу.
Francisco 'Papa Fuerte' Cruz: You tell the mayor he has a very simple choice. Lose the election, or fund my vision.
Mrs. Cruz: In this life, if you want something, you have to pursue it. You can’t just rely on life to pursue you.
Shaolin Fantastic: We are in the streets, bro. What we do is on the street. And on the street, shit happens.
Grandmaster Flash: If you wanna be a true DJ, conquer your street. Conquer your park. Conquer your neighborhood, conquer your borough. Conquer your city. And the world is yours. So, battle.
Francisco 'Papa Fuerte' Cruz: All a man has is his word.
Pastor Ramon Cruz: We all have sins. All of us are searching for forgiveness.
Shaolin Fantastic: Players always get played at the end.
Ezekiel ‘Zeke’ Figuero: When I get up on stage and say what I gotta say, I know who I am, and right now y’all are pushing me to be who you want me to be and nobody’s asking what I wanna be.
Herbert Gunns: To estimate the intelligence of a leader, look at the men he keeps around him.
Ezekiel ‘Zeke’ Figuero: The young people aren’t the problem. We’re the solution.
Misfits
Британский сериал о пяти правонарушителях, получивших по воле случая суперсилы, которые в итоге становятся ношей и раскрывают их самые потаенные тайны и комплексы. Сериал «Отбросы» подойдет всем с Pre-Intermediate и тем, кто хочет прокачать британский сленг и пополнить лексику 18+.
Kelly: I ain't got a problem with you, apart from you being a flesh-eating zombie.
Curtis: No matter what I do, the ones I love, will always be the ones who pay.
Sam: Is that from Spiderman? You're dumping me with a line from Spiderman?!
Simon: If there's nobody, there's no crime.
Alisha: I'm going to see what she's doing!
Rudy: Oh right, we'll just untie our hands and remove the nooses from around our necks.
Alisha: No, it's my power, I can put myself in other people's shoes.
Rudy: Do you have to be wearing their shoes to do that?
Rudy: Are you sure we can't manufacture some kind of a happy ending?
Nathan: Me? I was done for eating some pic’n’mix.
Kelly: (in thick East Midlands accent) Ehm, wot makes ya thin’ that yer better than ozz?
Nathat: What is *that* accent?
Curtis Donovan: Is that for real?
Kelly: Wot, you tryin’ to say soomfin ‘ou’ it, the, yah?

How I Met Your Mother
Еще одна классика и must watch для всех с Upper-Intermediate, кто хочет практиковать американский английский и сленг. По сюжету, главный герой сериала в далеком 2030 году рассказывает своим детям-подросткам о своей бурной молодости, жизни друзей, и, конечно же, о том, как он встретил свою будущую жену. Сериал стал хитом с 2006 по 2012 и собрал немало наград, включая Эмми за выдающуюся режиссуру.
Barney Stinson: Whenever I’m sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead.
Ted Mosby: Because sometimes even if you know how something’s gonna end, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the ride.
Marshall Eriksen: That’s life, you know. We never end up where you thought you wanted to be.
Robin Scherbatsky: Oh my god, look at you cowards. So afraid of any kind of change. So terrified of anything new. So, so desperate to cling to anything comfortable and familiar.
Lily Aldrin: You can’t just skip ahead to where you think your life should be.
Barney Stinson: I realized that I’m searching, searching for what I really want in life. And you know what? I have absolutely no idea what that is.
Robin Scherbatsky: I get recognized one time, and I start thinking I'm Julia Roberts. I'm no VIP; I'm not even an IP; I'm just a lonely little P sitting out here in the gutter.
Barney Stinson: Maybe this isn’t a breakup. Maybe this is just two friends getting back together.
Robin Scherbatsky: Why am I constantly looking for reasons not to be happy?

The Big Bang Theory
Сериал для всех поклонников высокой науки с уровнем английского выше Upper-Intermediate. Здесь вы встретите очень много научных терминов, поэтому смело включайте субтитры, даже если вы уже давно смотрите сериалы в оригинале. «Теория большого взрыва» стала самым длинным ситкомом в истории телевидения, а с 2017 года на CBS выходит спин-офф сериала про одного из героев под названием «Детство Шелдона».
Raj: I don't like bugs, okay. They freak me out.
Sheldon: Interesting. You're afraid of insects and women. Ladybugs must render you catatonic.
Howard: You know, I'm really glad you decided to learn Mandarin.
Sheldon: Why?
Howard: Once you're fluent, you'll have a billion more people to annoy instead of me.
Leonard: You pick up your dresses?
Amy: Yep. The tailor had to take mine in and let Penny's out. Best day of my life.
Sheldon: What about the day you met me?
Amy: I stand by my statement.
Penny: So you have a song stuck in your head. It happens to everybody.
Sheldon: Well, I'm not everybody. I have an eidetic memory. I should be able to remember what song this is, but I can't. Something's wrong with me.
Penny: I told you if we were patient, he'd figure it out for himself.
Sheldon: Why are you crying?
Penny: Because I'm stupid.
Sheldon: That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad.
Howard: Sheldon, don't take this the wrong way, but you're insane.
Leonard: That may well be, but the fact is it wouldn't kill us to meet some new people.
Sheldon: For the record, it could kill us to meet new people. They could be murderers or the carriers of unusual pathogens. And I'm not insane, my mother had me tested.

House, M.D.
Легендарный сериал о команде врачей, разгадывающих медицинские тайны, и гениальном докторе-социопате Хаусе. Must watch для всех медиков, тех, кто собирается поступать в медицинский за границей, и просто всех любителей черного юмора. Уровень английского — Upper-Intermediate.
Patient: Are you this rude to all your patients?
House: Yes. Don't think you're special.
House: (diagnosing an African-American patient) You're turning white.
Patient's Mother: What does that mean?
House: It means he doesn't need football to get a good job anymore.
Obese Patient: You must be Dr. House.
House: And you must be full of bologna. Lot of it.
Obese Patient: Right! Fat joke! Always fun, the only people you can still make fun of.
House: And Christians. And black people.
Foreman: Her oxygen saturation is normal.
House: It's off by one percentage point.
Foreman: It's within range.
House: If her DNA was off by one percentage point, she'd be a dolphin.
Dr. Foreman: You're addicted to conflict.
House: (looks at his Vicodin) They changed the name?
Patient's Mother: Are you high?
House: Higher than you. (The patient's mother is a dwarf)
The Office
Всю необходимую «рабочую» лексику вы найдете в сериале «Офис», в котором как нигде лучше показана жизнь офисных работников и их непутевого босса компании Dunder Mifflin. «The office» — это легкий американский юмор, который поймет любой с уровнем повыше Intermediate.
Michael Scott: Call me as ASAP as possible.
Michael Scott: Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.
Michael: Do I have a special someone? Uh well, yeah of course. A bunch of ’em. My employees. If I had to choose between a one-night-stand with some stupid cow I pick-up in a bar, and these people? I’d pick them every time. Because with them, it is an everyday stand and I still know their names in the morning.
Kevin Malone: I have very little patience for stupidity.
Dwight: How would I describe myself? Three words. Hard-working. Alpha male. Jackhammer. Merciless. Insatiable.
Michael Scott: Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.
Michael Scott: Guess what, I have flaws. What are they? Oh I don't know. I sing in the shower. Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me.
Michael Scott: An office is for not dying. An office is a place to live life to the fullest, to the max, to... An office is a place where dreams come true.
Michael Scott: Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way.

Doctor Who
«Доктор Кто» был занесен в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса как самый продолжительный научно-фантастический сериал с первой серией, снятой в далеком 1963 году. «Доктор Кто» — это история об инопланетянине, путешествующем во времени и пространстве на космическом корабле и спасающем цивилизации. Советуем вам смотреть последнюю версию сериала, запущенную в 2005 году. Здесь вы найдете много британского сленга, юмора и немало научной терминологии, поэтому сериал лучше всего подойдет всем с Upper-Intermediate.
The Doctor: Do what I do. Hold tight and pretend it’s a plan!
The Doctor: I am and always will be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and the dreamer of improbable dreams.
Rose Tyler: You don’t just give up. You don’t just let things happen. You make a stand! You say no! You have the guts to do what’s right, even when everyone else just runs away.
Fourth Doctor: You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common: they don’t alter their views to fit the facts; they alter the facts to fit their views.
Steven Moffat: People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint – it’s more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly… time-y wimey… stuff.
The Doctor: Rose, before I go, I just want to tell you: you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I.
Steven Moffat: We’re all stories, in the end.
Elton Pope: When you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all… Grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.
