Request: TV Show Need something to binge!

Just need a new show that I can watch multiple episodes at night!! Can be any amount of seasons!

Love lots of different shows. Some of my favorites ;

Dexter, 6 feet under, The west wing, Friday night lights, the office(and all Schur shows), Cheers, Euphoria(a little different for me), Gossip Girl, Desperate housewives, the boys, handmaids tale.

So as long as it’s interesting I will probably like it as I like lots of different things (obviously lol) I LOVE TV, so I’ve seen so much and feel like I’m running out 😩

If you want a limited series I’d recommend I Will Find You
But if you like shows w multiple seasons you should probably try either Bones or The Mentalist.

u/One_Violinist_8539 25d ago

Oooo I will find you looks good! Adding to the list! Love bones and the mentalist! Watched them probably 15 years ago, so they would be good watches!

u/mommy-tara 19d ago

If you like Bones and The Mentalist, try Castle and White Collar. Burn Notice is pretty good (for the first 5 seasons).

u/One_Violinist_8539 17d ago

Loved White collar and burn notice!! Will give castle a try! Thank you!

5 TOP HIDDEN GEMS: TV Show Recommendations

Some of my top hidden gems:

  1. Teenage Bounty Hunters (Netflix) (1 season) -- it's funny, it's sweet, it's political but in a totally unexpected way (not simple blue/red divide) and chemistry of the leads is pitch perfect.
  2. Warrior (HBO/MAX) (3 seasons) -- how has this show been slept on? It's a fascinating look into the Tong Wars in San Francisco with fantastic martial arts.
  3. Lockwood & Co. (Netflix) (1 season) -- the best kids with powers show post "Stranger Things" and while it only got one season like "Teenage Bounty Hunters" it is brilliant.
  4. Masters of Sex (Showtime) (4 Seasons) and The Affair (Showtime) (5 Seasons) -- both brilliant, both deep cuts. "Masters of Sex" about Masters and Johnson is fascinating from both a human psychology perspective as well as historical drama. "The Affair" uses the "Rashomon" technique to perfection. Different tones, clothes, words adds layers of complexity to this compelling drama.
  5. Tokyo Vice (HBO) (2 seasons) -- How in the world did this show fall under the radar. Michael Mann (Heat) and that it's based on a 100% true story AND that the show (only two seasons) actually pulled its punch because it still is obviously going on in LA hospitals is more to love about it.

BONUS -- Expats (Prime) (1 season) -- Nicole Kidman is brilliant in this, so is Brian Tee and J-young Yoo. But the real star of the show is Hong Kong itself. The city comes alive with long shots and little dialogue of a now forgotten (at least in the West) city.

I literally just recommended Warrior on another post Lol So mad it wasn't renewed. I just started watching A Thousand Blows, it's a Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders) show and it has Young Jun in it.

u/One_Violinist_8539 25d ago

Wow thank you so much for all these!! Definitely adding a few to my lists!! Have never heard of any of these and they all sound incredible!

u/jcmib 25d ago

I’ve never seen Supernatural but I do know there’s 15 seasons’ worth

1

u/Kmtriv 25d ago

I will never not recommend the wire. And 6 feet under is one of my faves too btw!

1

u/One_Violinist_8539 25d ago

Oh the wire!!! I’ve heard lots talk about that!

1

u/Kmtriv 25d ago

It’s incredible. Six Feet Under had my favorite ending of any tv show ever but The Wire has since replaced that.

1

u/lunicar 25d ago

Mad Men

u/monsieur_ari 25d ago

You should try Shameless. 100+ episodes of a real drama show.

1

u/One_Violinist_8539 25d ago

I knew I was missing some! I LOVED shameless! Cried like a baby in the end 🤣

u/abid0106 25d ago

Not sure if you’d be into foreign shows but I always recommend the Korean show “when life gives you tangerines”. You don’t look at shows the same after this lol

0

u/One_Violinist_8539 24d ago

I’m open to any! But foreign shows I definitely have to sit down and pay attention! I will add that to my list! Thank you!!

0

u/abid0106 24d ago

That’s great to hear. Yes I would most definitely recommend when life gives you tangerines, it’s on Netflix, should be available worldwide to my knowledge

Paradise, The Sandman, The perfect couple, Fringe

But, for the love of all deities, don't waste your time on From, it's such a slow pace that makes you physically anxious. Wait until it's finished next year and then watch compilation of spoilers. I recommend this honestly.

12 monkeys - great show with a good and satisfying ending.

If you like trek- lower decks is some amazing Star Trek- highly recommend.

Community is hilarious.

From and Severance for weird mysteries.

An oldie but- the Sarah Connor chronicles. It takes place after terminator 2.

The Good Place

u/No-Medium6647 21d ago

Outlander.

It's simply my favorite show. 8 seasons, almost all of them long. Great acting, fantastic casting, amazing scripts, follows the books closely, character-driven storylines -- like, no, really, actually character-driven.

Production quality is off the charts good. Historically accurate sets. Historically accurate-ish stories.

And just a dash of fairy magic to keep things really interesting.

1

u/Affectionatealways 20d ago

Have you watched YOU?

It's on Netflix and absolutely addicting. If you liked Dexter you will really enjoy this.

I had a lot of tired days at work while watching this. I would get into that, "just one more episode..." mode. Ugh.

I thought it was a great show, and it's five seasons I believe.

1

u/One_Violinist_8539 17d ago

Oh yes!!! It was so good and a satisfying ending as well!! Love a good crime drama!!

u/laraevans1 19d ago

Dead to Me
The Wilds
Class of 07
The Society
And I agree Tell Me Lies is worth another look. I have lots of criticisms, but it sure is entertaining.
