15 cool mini-series that few people know about

Each of these series is unique and filmed in its own special genre. There are comedies, dramas, thrillers, and adventures. Their distinctive feature is that they are too intense to fit into a standard hour and a half, and too fast and fleeting to stretch over several seasons. The editors of Site are already familiar with many of these works and are sure that they are definitely worth watching.



Black Mirror





Future. New technologies. With a slight wave of the hand, we can perform different actions. Everything is easy and simple. The triumph of the media world. However, every day people go to work, where they earn pennies, to buy their own food, and the rest of the money is spent on buying all sorts of nonsense, which is daily imposed on us from everywhere by advertising. And the series is about this. Each episode is in no way connected with the previous one, and each ending is a shock.



Mildred Pierce





The main character is a housewife named Mildred Pierce Beragon, who left her tyrannical husband and decided to get a job as a waitress. Everything would be fine, but the heroine also has problems in her relationship with her own daughter. The series is about the fact that it is always difficult to make decisions. Pride, fear of reaction from other people - all this stands in the way of correct and fateful decisions. The picture is unhurried, filled with beautiful, picturesque shots with stunning musical accompaniment.



Dr. Terrible's Music Blog





This is a funny story about the supervillain Doctor Terrible, who is constantly unlucky. On top of that, he is also secretly in love with a girl from the laundry, Penny.

It is about the indestructible brotherhood of soldiers. When your comrade is wounded and bleeding on the other side of the street, bullets are whistling around, you still run to him, because there is simply no other way to do it.



Firefly





This is a work thought out until the very last frame. Captain Malcolm Reynolds is a battle-hardened Galactic Civil War veteran who fought on the wrong side (the loser's) side, earns a living from petty crime and transports cargo on his ship, the Serenity. One of the best science fiction series.



The Tenth Kingdom





A fairy tale. So beautiful and bright that you quickly forget that you have already grown up. The main characters will face difficult tests. Traveling to other worlds, kingdoms, they will literally live half their lives in a fairytale world. The series is about a waitress named Virginia, who works in a New York café. One day, she rescues a doggie who turns out to be bewitched by Prince Wendel, who has escaped from the Land of the Nine Kingdoms to our world to escape the evil Stepmother.



The Lost Room





Fantasy that makes you dizzy. The plot of the series is that somewhere in the state of New Mexico there is a motel called Sunshine. Something terrible happened in room No 10 of this hotel. After that, the room disappeared without a trace, but the objects that were in it at that moment acquired unusual properties. A pen that emits microwaves, a comb that stops time, and much more that we usually don't pay much attention to. The main character accidentally receives the key to this very 10th room. It turns out that he opens any door, and that door always leads to that non-existent room at the Sunshine Motel.



Prikup





Many call this series the English "Brigade", but here everything is much more complicated. There is almost no showdown between gangsters in the film, although the plot is built around a guy named Freddie Jackson, who has just been released from prison and intends to challenge the whole world. From the very beginning, the series sends the viewer into the eerie atmosphere of the underworld of the 80s.



Decalogue

Each episode is a real emotional explosion. These are stories about us.



Far Cry Experience





The series is based on the computer game Far Cry 3. But it will be of interest not only to fans of the game. The main character, Vaas Montenegro, is a ruthless pirate and just an unbalanced personality. But even under the skin of cruelty there is something of its own, special, unpredictable and... Fun. Adventures filled with black humor.



Empty Crown





A screen adaptation of three rather little-known plays by Shakespeare: Richard II, Henry IV and Henry V. These are stories about family, politics and power.

Incredible details, excellent acting and the amazing atmosphere of that time make you watch the series in one breath.

One morning, he will wake up and realize that he is living through that day of murder again. Only this time he will act differently. And this will repeat until he finds out who framed him and saves his loved ones.



Black's Bookstore





A mini-series filled with sparkling British humor. It's about a small bookstore in London, whose owner, the Irishman Bernard Black, is probably one of the least suitable people for this job: he has absolutely no intention of selling anything, closes the store at any time he wants, and constantly mocks customers. The series is filled with an incredible atmosphere. There is simply no better cure for a bad mood.
