When we think about series from the last century, Friends may be the first (and sometimes the only) example that comes in our minds. The American television sitcom was originally released in 1994, and aired for 10 years in television. It tells the stories about a group of six friends in Manhattan and its up and downs. Friends was a huge success and its loyal fans still watch the episodes over and over.
However, like the famous sitcom, there are many other amazing and interesting TV series to watch on a lazy Sunday. Check out our recommendations below!
