Superior Essays
Have you ever been so into a TV show that you are totally unaware of what is going on around you? This is because the shows that you are watching share the same qualities such as drama, heartwarming moments, and a humorous character.

A TV show with a lot of drama in it is Shameless. Throughout all of the seasons, there's always drama because of the “Dad,” Frank. He is rarely ever considered as their Dad because he is never home and when he is, he is always a mean drunk. At one point he called Child Service’s on his own kids and got them put into foster homes because he was drunk. This created a lot of drama within the family. The oldest daughter Fiona worked hard to get them back and when she did Frank was pretty much dead to all of them. Another TV show that has drama in it is Prison Break. Michael Scofield commits a crime on purpose so that he can be brought into a prison where his brother Lincoln is being held on death row for being falsely accused for murdering the Vice President’s brother. Michael has a plan to break him and his brother out but along the way more and more people find out. Michael had to start threatening people to keep their mouths shut or none of them would be getting out. This created a lot of tension throughout the seasons. Another TV show with drama in it is The Walking Dead. There has been a lot of drama throughout all of the seasons but especially in the newest season that two of Rick’s close friends were killed by Negan. Tensions become very high between Rick’s and Negan’s groups. These shows are all good because they share the same quality of being
