Can you recommend an interesting series with relatively simple English? Since the beginning of the year, I’ve watched in the original:
1) Friends. Only watched 8 episodes. Didn’t quite get into it. Maybe because it’s a sitcom, and I’m not really into sitcoms.
2) Homeland. Watched all 72 episodes. Really liked it, the English was understandable. Actually, that’s where all my evenings went. A good example of what I’m looking for.
3) Game Of Thrones 6. It’s almost over, and the English isn’t super clear to me – there are many different accents, but still okay. But it has ended.
4) Black Sails. Watched the first episode, didn’t quite get into it. The English isn’t very clear, lots of vocabulary and historical dialogue.
5) Preacher. Watched the first episode, overall it’s cool, but it’s more like a backup option.
6) Yesterday tried to rewatch Sherlock in English – here the English was the most difficult. Not only does Cumberbatch speak very fast, but the vocabulary is also British and specific.
7) Desperate Housewives. Watched in both English and Russian. A good example of what I’m looking for in terms of the clarity of the English. But the plot is too sugary.
Searching for:
An engaging, enlightening series with clear American English, not a sitcom, like Homeland. Any recommendations?

Looks like I’ll be watching White Collar. I’ll see in about two hours if it works for me 🙂
