Angelina Posted August 15, 2017 at 01:03 PM Report Posted August 15, 2017 at 01:03 PM What good TV content is popular in China these days? 西游记 was popular in 1986, then it was Friends, then it was The Big Bang Theory. There are no limitations when it comes to where the show was produced, or the nationality of the artists, e.g. if it is a dissident artist who gave up one passport for a second one. Same with the language. I would prefer to see shows in Mandarin, but it can be any language, I expect to see a lot of English and Cantonese. What other Sinic languages, apart from Cantonese and Mandarin, are used when producing original content? How about non-Sinitic languages? Tibetan seems to be popular these days. Cultural appropriation? Open to all languages. Criteria: TV; good; popular in Mainland China/PRC/中国人民共和国 In short: What do all the cool kids from China watch? Quote

Micadeli Posted August 15, 2017 at 07:42 PM Report Posted August 15, 2017 at 07:42 PM I'm behind the curve a little bit, but Iike these two: 1. 深夜食堂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYf0uGPZVzM&list=PLHOMQ6tK7Yue0s4cMTIdnm2MU95TLySvG --Oddly, this isn't the first episode. It might be the second or third. No matter. It won't affect your understanding of any future episodes. 2. 我的前半生 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkY0-_qW8x4 Quote
hoshinoumi Posted August 17, 2017 at 10:11 AM Report Posted August 17, 2017 at 10:11 AM Watching anything under the 热剧榜单 section of Youku might be a good guess. 微微一笑很倾城 was the latest trend last year. Hope it helps Quote

Perhaps 豆瓣 is a good place to discover TV shows. https://movie.douban.com/annual2016/?source=navigation#24 Quote
Angelina Posted September 23, 2017 at 05:58 PM Author Report Posted September 23, 2017 at 05:58 PM I have decided to see 《一起同过窗》, it looks realistic, like actual Chinese kids from school. Can't wait. Quote

Angelina Posted October 3, 2017 at 03:39 PM Author Report Posted October 3, 2017 at 03:39 PM @hoshinoumi The Beatles, 西游记 (86) Just because something is popular, it does not mean that its quality has to be questionable. Perhaps 豆瓣 is a good place to start digging. Quote
