Friends

Friends
Friends is an American sitcom about the life of 6 young people who live in New York. So, it's a Mirror of Life.
It contains 10 seasons and was created in September 1994.

The presentation was clear and precise and all the characters and their relationships were defined.
We saw the first two episodes of season 1. These two episodes where no subtitles, that's why I had some difficulties to understand.
Indeed, the characters speak very quickly and at the same time.

To conclude, I discovered this series which I knew only of name but I'm not interested to see others episodes. I don't like this kind of sitcom where there is no real history. Friends remind me of The Young and the Restless (les Feux de l'Amour).

Greek

Greek
Greek is an American serie about the organization of the Fraternities and Sororities in an American university (in the Greek System). That's why, I think it's a Mirror of Life.
Rusty Cartwright is a first-year student who arrives in this university and wants to be part of a Fraternity to meet people and integrate himself better into this system.

At the moment the series contains two seasons but the third is in course of production. We saw the first two episodes of the season 1, this series is easier to understand because the vocabulary is not very complicated.

I found this series funny and I am looking at the first season. To finish, I think that Greek looks like American Pie.

Dexter

Dexter
At first, I can say that Dexter is at the same time a Mirror of Life and a Mirror of Darkness.
Indeed, the main character Dexter Morgan is a character with two facets: he's a blood analyst in the scientific police the day and, he change himself into a serial killer at night.
This serie is rather comic even if it's punctuated by passages with black humour.

We saw the credits of the serie which I found excellent and very different about others sitcoms/series!
To finish we also saw the first two episodes of season 1 and this serie gave me the desire for watch the first season.
In addition, it's rather easy to understand the Dexter's serie because the main character, Dexter speaks slowly.
To conclude, the story doesn't remind me of other series nor films

The expression that I have retained is "Anyone has something to hide".

24

24
24 is an American detective serie. Jack Bauer, the main character is an agent anti-terrorism.
This serie presents some characteristics.
First of all by the division of each season (7 nowadays) of 24 episodes who compose one day.
That makes it possible to give a more palpitating effect to the history.
In addition, a process of “Split-screen” is used, that makes it possible to see several characters in various places at the same time (example: in a phone conversation we can see the two interlocutors on the screen at the same time).

We could see two episodes of this series corresponding to two hours in the life of the “hero” Jack Bauer.
In each episode, there are a lot of different events and it's difficult to think that they have taken place in only one hour.
I found this serie at my taste, because I like detective series.
To conclude, this serie remind me of others detective series that I like, like: N.CI.S, Law & Order (New York Police Judiciaire), CSI: Miami (Les Experts: Miami), CSI: NY (Les Experts: Manhattan), Without a Trace (FBI Portés Disparus), Cold case, Law & Order: Criminal Intent (New York, section criminelle)...
