If you've asked me a few years ago what I would choose for a lazy afternoon in bed, a book, or a movie, I would always choose a book. But then I met my husband, and the rest is history.

Enjoying TV shows became a sacred time in our home. It's the only time when we're all together, switched off from school, work, deadlines, and upcoming projects.

I like historical TV shows. They show you how people used to live years ago, their morals, and how they dealt with different situations. When watching a historical movie, I like to observe the decisions they make. It doesn't matter whether we live in 1900 or in 2000, we're all under the control of the same emotions and passions, we are driven by the same aims. If you're interested in leadership and you're a fan of movies, here are my top 5 recommendations of TV shows that can teach you essential leadership lessons.
