Minority Mindset

Like much of the show Big Mistakes, this scene is fast-paced and chaotic, with quick cuts and characters often talking over each other. Created by John Levy and Rachel Sennott, the series centers on a small, bad decision that quickly spirals out of control. The main character, Morgan, struggles with emotional detachment and substance use, and often blurs the line between funny and upsetting situations. When she impulsively shoplifts a necklace, she and her friend Nicky find themselves caught up in a ridiculous chain of crimes, lies, and shocking discoveries that only escalate from there. The result is a remarkably tense comedy, similar in tone to Sennott’s previous show I Love LA, or fitting into the current trend of darkly funny, high-stress shows like Barry, The Bear, and Beef.

Having existed for more than four decades, the Dragon Ball series has a wealth of characters that fans have largely forgotten. Many of these characters would be a great fit for the Black Frieza Saga. Despite their potential importance, they’ve either been completely absent from Dragon Ball Super or haven’t been used much since they were first introduced.

The most successful shows were created by people with genuine stories to tell, and they favored real, physical effects over digital ones whenever they could. This approach keeps the series feeling believable, even years later. Great shows remain enjoyable today, even if you’re watching them for the first time on streaming. Here are a few series from the 1980s that were built on solid foundations and still hold up well.
