1. End of The F****** World<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

  <\/p>\n

End of Th F****** World<\/em> is a tale of first love, self-identity and teenage rebellion that explores the difficulties of adolescence and the important lessons to be learned along the way.<\/p>\n

The show follows James, an angsty teenager, who in believing he is a psychopath, plots to kill his outspoken<\/strong><\/em><\/span> and unruly classmate Alyssa.

2. Ozark<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Loved Breaking Bad? This one could be for you. Ozark<\/em> is another dark, fast-paced and twisting crime drama that deals with family loyalty and betrayal.<\/p>\n

A financial planner named Marty is forced to relocate his family to the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, after becoming involved with a Mexican drug cartel and a money laundering<\/strong><\/em><\/span> plan that goes wrong. Marty then becomes entangled in a bigger operation to pay off his debt, and in the process, his fractured family is forced to work together and face their own problems.<\/p>\n

Why is it good for learning English?<\/strong><\/span> The show contains lots of day to day language that is simple to understand. Ozark is great for those wanting to listen and imitate an American accent. In addition, the intense dramatic monologues offer a quick lesson in the art of public speaking – the perfect opportunity to try speech shadowing<\/a>!<\/p>\n
