Can you still remember the times when you were going to get home from school and turn on the television to watch shows through cable subscription? Those were the days when streaming services online were still not a thing. Things have leveled up now though. With a proper internet connection, by streaming them, we can now watch unlimited shows even on our phones anytime anywhere.
A few of the shows that we used to catch on cable TV at certain airings are now available on different streaming sites, such as Viu or Netflix. Put those shows on again if you’re up for a walk down memory lane.
The Heirs
Stream it on Viu (titled The Heirs), Netflix (titled Inheritors)
A lot of enthusiasts for K-drama probably fell into the black hole of K-drama through the Korean dramas being aired on cable TV. The Heirs is one such show that featured the love story of a chaebol son and a hardworking student, played respectively by Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye.
Totally Spies
Stream it on Netflix
This was one of the shows that were teaching us about girl power at first. A high school girl trio leading double lives as spies, casually owning laser lipsticks and stylishly saving the world. We wish we were as they were! Whether you’re the brainy, the tomboy, or the maarte, it didn’t matter, these fictional ladies taught a generation that they can be exactly who they are and still kick ass.
Glee
Stream it on Netflix
For many reasons, Glee was truly popular among students. It’s one of the few shows back then that made the uncool kids cool and the actual high school kids showed almost true-to-life experiences. Also, the recreations and song covers are a huge plus.
Vampire Diaries
Stream it on Netflix
Back when vampires were an enormous thing in youth culture thanks to the Twilight movies, Vampire Diaries was the TV series version of attractive blood-suckers that caught people’s attention.
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Stream it on Netflix
Long ago the four nations lived in harmony together. Then, when the Fire Nation attacked, everything changed. You probably read that, in Katara’s voice, did you not? Then you have probably mastered the rest of the lines too. hahahha
Naruto
Stream it on Netflix
Naruto’s … how to put it? Splendid, glorious and entertaining. In the way it presents itself, it’s almost perfect. The characters are beautifully portrayed and inspiring. The fight scenes are breathtaking and clean overall. The drama here is very moving and emotional. The jokes are well executed but overdone at times.
