Underrated Shows That Overdeliver
USNews

Many well-known shows are very good. However, there are better shows just lurking in the distance that not many people are aware of or could conceive their incredibleness. These underrated shows and the messages sent from them are literally constantly relevant in the watchers lives, while not being so mainstream that they are diluted with political correctness and constant grievances of making everything a little bit too socially acceptable . These shows are just trying to elevate small talk to medium talk, bringing in the reality of life, love, and friendship.

1. Chuck

This about the average computer-whiz-next door living out everyone's dream of having a computer in their brain, becoming a secret agent, and falling in love with their handler.

2. Scorpion

Scorpion is a group of certified geniuses coming together solving complex crimes for US homeland security, while also being loosely based on the life of Walter O'Brien.

3. Shameless

While both the UK and US version are equally fantastic, it is a comedy-drama about a dysfunctional family which we can all relate to.

4. Lovesick (Scrotal Recall)

"Lovesick" is a British sitcom focused on basically one guy and his ultimate plight, the love he has for his best friend Evie, and the girls he goes through till he gets to her.

5.Love


The most honest representation of modern dating and everything about it that is kinda great and kinda sucks.

6. Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll

Remember Jade from "Victorious"? Yeah, she's in this and she literally Rocks!

7. Jane the Virgin

Honestly, the title of this show should pull you in enough. Every question that you have ever had is answered in the way of a satirical rom-com.

8. MONK

This is what happens when an OCD recluse solves crimes.

9. Psych

Best friends solving crime and one of them is psychic? This is literally an indescribable paradigm of entertainment!

10. Sons of Anarchy

"Sons of Anarchy" is about an outlaw motorcycle club operating in Charming, with lots and lots of family drama.Once you see these you may never be able to stop watching, because all of these are recommended by 4 out of 5 people that recommend things.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
