Old new series.

Sometimes I get a little melancholic and either watch old movies that have some kind of meaning to me or go back to old series.
Everytime I watch it, it is like I reconnect with who I was and who I am now. At the same time, things that I thought I understood back then, I realise it had different meanings but, more than that, I see that they are more accurate to the present than ever.
Or maybe it is just the time I'm living at this age, which can now be more similar to the characters in there.


A while ago, I watched all seasons of Sex & the City and I could identify myself or others, moments and thoughts or behaviours with the life those characters were living. And it was so funny because I could remember things I thought I forgot and it was like I could understand my own life better.
I really think this series shows the reality in London at the present. It might be that New York was actually ahead in time when compared or maybe London has been like this since back then - 20 years ago - as well.
History does say our society lives through cycles and that's why some events tend to repeat itself over and over again.
Then I moved on to Friends. In a different story line, this series shows a lot of what I see in my friends' life at the moment and mine too. Even the falling in love for a very good old friend. 
I know it is just a coincidence made from common places and behaviours that happen in almost everyone's Life. But it is good to see our own thoughts and attitudes in others because it makes us think about it in a different perspective and we can all learn from it.
I think the only thing I don't get to feel much of a connection is with the characters sense of fashion - even some of the shoes Carrie wore were pretty awful and Phoebe's outfits were hilarious - but I guess that was a different time.

How about you, which were the tv series or movies that represent a time of your Life?

Have a good night!
