Dramas That Make You Think

I'm a big fan of the dramas that raise one or several social, political or philosophical question. I don't think all dramas should do the same, but there's definitely something touching about these ones, that makes them unforgettable. 

Here's a list of my favorite thought-provoking shows, in order of preference.
