10 Best Existentialist TV Shows, Ranked
Despair, confusion, and terror about existence can make for great television, as shows like The Sopranos and Neon Genesis Evangelion demonstrate.
"Existentialism" is a word that gets thrown around a lot, meaning most have likely heard it before, though it proves quite complex and difficult to explain succinctly. Certain definitions can get quite long-winded, with perhaps the most straight-to-the-point defining existentialism as the philosophical belief that each person is "responsible for creating purpose or meaning in (their) own lives." Higher authorities or beings don't give individuals meaning in their lives, and existential thinkers further reject the idea that one's purpose in life is mapped out before they're created.
