There are other shows than Friends to watch, that's why you'll find a selection of 6 iconic 90's shows to watch or rewatch. There's one for everybody!

The Nanny
The Nanny

One of the most memorable shows of the 90's with the irreplaceable Miss Fine and her crazy outfits. Her relationship with Mr Sheffield held our breath throughout 6 seasons, while conflicts between C.C. Babcock and Niles made us laugh more than we could count. The show and its amazing opening song is now available on Amazon Prime Video.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

It's never too late to hunt vampires and check out this essential feminist show. The show not only deals with the the passage to adulthood for these teenagers, it also reflects on humanity, solidarity and self confidence. If Buffy is the chosen one, she's not alone, and we can't forget about so many iconic episodes who are still relevant today.

X-Files
X-Files

Do you remember the show's opening song, as classic as it was terrifying? It's time to go past your fear and start watching the paranormal investigations of Mulder and Scully if you haven't. Science Fiction shows from the 2000 up to today have strongly been influenced by X-Files who kept the fans in awe for several years. You've already seen the show? Time to watch it again!

Homicide
Homicide

The 2000 decade got The Wire, considered today as one of the best shows in the history of television, and the 90's got Homicide. Adapted from David Simon's book, Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, this political show is a must see. It follows the criminal investigations of the Baltimore Police Department with cutting authenticity. It's not a kind or gracious point of view on cops, but rather realistic it shows how the methods used aren't always legal. An intense and dark tale you don't want to miss.

Twin Peaks
Twin Peaks

True UFO from the 90's, Twin Peaks takes you through a peculiar journey in a small town of the pacific northwest in the Washington State. Here, FBI agent Dale Cooper investigates the murder of teenage girl Laura Palmer, whose body has been found in a plastic bag. But it's not the usual investigation, the show reveals itself to be a true visual, sensory and metaphysical experience. A classic among the classics.

ER
ER

Before Grey's Anatomy, The Resident or The Good Doctor, there was ER, father of all medical shows. It mixes everything we love about the current ones, with a bonus point: George Clooney was in it. So just for that, but also for the complex and profoundly humane characters, it's essential to watch or rewatch the 15 seasons of ER.
