TV Shows For Entrepreneurs

Is there such a thing as TV shows for entrepreneurs? As a busy entrepreneur, you probably don’t have a Friends marathon as a priority (no hate intended, we love Friends).  Truth is between work, family, trying to have a social life and maybe even making it to the gym, time is limited for Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime or whatever it is that you use to watch your favorite series. 

However, we strongly believe that a good tv series can be useful to disconnect for a while and even inspire and motivate you. We came across 6 binge-worthy TV shows for entrepreneurs and the startup community:
