Trending TV series for learning English
Learning English can be a pleasant process if you watch a series in English. It is not only an effective but also an exciting way to improve your language skills. Here are some arguments that will convince you that TV series are a cool tool for learning English:

Regular viewing of TV series will help you learn new words and phrases in context, which makes it much easier to remember them.

- Development of listening skills. Watching series in English develops listening comprehension, which is very important for free communication.
- Grammar improvement. Listening to the characters’ dialogues, you learn grammatical constructions in the most natural context.

Comprehensible dialogues on everyday topics and light humor make this series the best option if you want to start improving your English.
Young Sheldon is another great option if you're new to English.

Simple dialogues with a variety of vocabulary and sometimes scientific terms make this series ideal for those who have A2 and B1 levels.

An interesting drama series with a complicated psychological atmosphere. The viewers can significantly expand their vocabulary and improve their understanding of grammatical structures in English.
Stranger Things. No joke either. The events of the series take place in a small American town in the 80s.

Besides, the characters' dialogues are full of vocabulary typical of modern American culture.
