Top Business Shows For Entrepreneurs.
1. Suits:
Suits is Just an AMAZING SERIES!
Aaron Korsh has drafted the story fabulously, and it is all about law, relationship (Family), and how you present yourself. It is one of the best series with lots of drama, comedy.
The story-line is just fantastic, and the characters are just tailored for each of them
Harvey Spectre (Gabriel Macht)
A MAN OF HIS WORD, The impossibly slick, impeccably tailored, and aggressively successful New York corporate lawyer at the center of the legal dramedy Suits, has many fans.
Mike Ross (Patrick J Adams)
He is blessed with a brilliant mind and a good heart, but some bad luck and worse choices derailed his plan to go into law. However, a chance meeting with Harvey Specter brought Mike’s considerable gifts to one of the top law firms in New York and gave him a second chance to get his life on track.
Donna Paulson (Sarah Rafferty)
Donna is one of the most formidable minds at Pearson Specter Litt. Incredibly perceptive, armed with the knowledge of all the comings and goings at the firm and razor-sharp wit, Donna is admired and feared by both associates and partners alike, and she’s not afraid to wield that power when it suits her needs.
Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman)
The best man and his best friend are Harvey. He is just a fabulous actor! He plays the primary role in suits, he is very aggressive, possessive and I can say that he is one of the reasons for most of the cases and rifts in the firm!
Jessica Person (Gina Torres)
The best women to lead a Law firm and don’t care for anyone and have a solution for almost everything. Jessica and Harvey can destroy there opposition just like that!
Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle)
She is sweet and Loves Mike very much they are the best pair ever possible. She is there for Mike and the firm at any point in time!

2. Shark Tank:
As an entrepreneur myself, I’ve dealt with investors and VC’s, and I can honestly say that the Sharks are a great representation of real-life. They come across as harsh, money-grubbing, and greedy most of the time. But the kicker is that in the world of investing, you have to be this way and more, or else you get railroaded by the guys willing to go the extra mile. Often I feel the Sharks do a great job of rooting out the good businesses from the ones that likely will crash and burn. I’ve observed that they’ll usually ask for a majority percentage in the company if the presenter is somebody who hasn’t proved themselves in the wide market. To me, this is fair, because the return is that the presenter has the opportunity to work with a partner who’s made millions or billions of dollars, and provides a wealth of knowledge and experience. In short, if you’re a start-up or recent start-up, you might not want to go on this show, because you’ll likely give up more of your company than you want to. If you have a tried and true product and need extra cash to expand or market yourself, this is a great opportunity. For viewers with interests in business or who want to learn more about business, I highly recommend Shark Tank. It’s educational, smart, creative, and ultimately worthy of your time.

3. Mr.Robot:
Take a computer wizard with psychological issues and place him at the epicenter of big bad corporate America. Mr. Robot takes you through the life, times and adventures of Elliot Anderson, played by the superb Rami Malek, as he alternates between the good and bad sides. Save treading into spoilers, and the show is topical in covering (and uncovering) corporate greed and giving us, lay, humans, a peep into how hackers operate. Quite a large number of Reddit threads have been devoted to the factual accuracy of Mr. Robot’s tech and while to me none of what Elliot was doing on-screen made too much sense, but the best points of the show were when Elliot would stop and explain what he was doing as the narrator.
The show’s wheels come off a little bit in Season 3, and the ending feels a little too feel-good, a little too rushed. But even so, Mr. Robot is TV at its best.

4. Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley is a must-watch TV series for people interested in knowing
- How Startups work in the ‘Silicon Valley.’
- Challenges one may face while Starting up
- The different types of Investors one will encounter and which one is better for your team.
(Peter Gregory — The one who wants to give ‘Pied Piper’ a chance to build a potentially $Bn company and let the team keep the Maximum equity.
Gavin Belson- The one wants to buy out them for $10Mn.
Russ Hanneman- The one who made a $Bn by putting Radio On Internet in the 1990s and only cares about being in the three comma Club (i.e., being a billionaire) and made irrational decisions at times) - How other Tech rival companies sue other companies and Startups for their IP (Intellectual Property) to stop their Funding temporarily and beat them to market by that time.
- The post Funding difficulties Startups face.
- (Etc etc. etc.. not listing everything to avoid spoilers )
Apart from the deep understanding of the Startup World that Silicon Valley gives us, the best part is the inclusion of casual Comedy even in serious situations which makes it excellent as you can learn about the startup world and also have fun watching it.
So Silicon Valley is worth watching if you are interested in knowing about any of the above ;)

5. Ballers
Ballers is very similar to Entourage because it often centers on the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Girls. Cars. Parties. And then there is the business aspect of the worlds they center on. It’s no surprise that Mark Wahlberg is a producer on this show as well. He developed Entourage for showtime and produced the whole run of the series.
I love the show thus far. I’m not 100% sold on it yet, but thus far I love what I see. Why?
- Dwayne Johnson. It’s nice to see him tackle (I can’t stop saying tackle) a more dramatic and straight role, as opposed to the big action hero that spurts out one-liners. This medium of television (or streaming) suits him well in that respect. I believe him as an NFL player (he was a college football championship player and also played a season in the Canadian pro league). And it’s his charisma that is the glue thus far.
- Rob Corddry. He and Dwayne are a dynamic duo in my eyes. Their chemistry together as partners in money is excellent. Rob has always been hilarious, and he is here as well, but there’s also a dramatic angle to his character that I wasn’t expecting. It’s subtle but ever-present. And when he’s funny (and he is so often), it’s lude and crude, and I love it.
- Peter Berg. He’s a producer on the series. He also wrote and directed the pilot episode. And he acts in the role of the Miami Dolphins coach. This is the man that brought us Friday Night Lights. Now he’s tackling (damn it!) the NFL.
- NFL. Oh, how I love the NFL (Go Packers!)! I love the sport of football. It gets me going. There’s something about it. I love Hard Knocks beyond belief and Ballers manages to capture some of that while offering a more Entourage-like fantasy version of the glitz and glamour. But it also captures the dark side of the NFL as well. Hard Knocks tries to shy away from that, instead of focusing on the experience of training camp with the only dark side aspects centering on injuries and being cut. It’s real in that respect, which is excellent, but it’s nice to have Ballers offer something deeper… even if it is fiction.
- It fills a void. I haven’t been able to watch NFL football since February, so this is tiding me off until preseason starts!
- The B stories. I’m invested in them. A recently retired NFL player now selling cars but possibly tempted to make a comeback. A hot new star that is wasting away his signing money due to his entourage and his loyalty to his friend he brought up from Compton. A superstar player with a big ego learning his mortality in the NFL. I love these angles that have been introduced thus far.
If you enjoy Entourage or Silicon Valley, you’ll enjoy Ballers. Especially is you love football. And even if you don’t because it’s less about your investment in the worlds being shown and more about your curiosity of them.
So for all of those reasons and reasoning, yes, Ballers is very good.

6. The Profit
Marcus Lemonis is a successful businessman who saves failing businesses with his knowledge and his own $2 million funds.
Being the chairman and CEO of multibillion-dollar corporation Camping World takes up a lot of Marcus Lemonis’ time. But when he’s not running the company, he’s searching for struggling businesses in need of cash. Lemonis tries to help turn each company around by offering cash for a piece of the business and a percentage of the profits. Now he’s bringing that process to TV with this series, in which he puts millions of dollars of his own money on the line. Once he’s working with the company, he does whatever is necessary to save the business and make a profit for himself — even if it means firing the president. Although some of his changes could be considered radical, the companies should be willing to go along with them because, in the last ten years, Lemonis has successfully turned around more than 100 companies. To quote the not-so-humble Lemonis, “When I have skin in the game, my way is the only way your business will survive.”
