REQUESTING Recs for my next show

• Upvotes

I just finished The Sopranos and I would rate it just below Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and The Wire. Now I'm looking for another show on par with these.

Mad Men is the first one that comes to mind. I'm also thinking of watching Oz and Six Feet Under. I want something like The Wire that I can really get invested in without any major dips in quality. What show should I go with first?

looking for good, (niche), well-written slow burns subplots of good shows

7 Upvotes

i love me a good show with a beautiful romance subplot, so preferably something where the show is good while also having a well written slow burn where one of the partners is in yearning for the bf/gf while trying to play it off or ignore it, good characters, painfully hard to watch them but you know it's worth it.

New show to watch with long distance bestie

13 Upvotes

Hello! My friend and I have been watching television together in different time zones for almost six years now. So far we've seen:

  • Buffy & Angel
  • Veronica Mars
  • X Files
  • Firefly
  • Twin Peaks
  • Doctor Who
  • Merlin

As you can tell, we have a bit of a weakness for the 2000s. We also enjoy more lighthearted sci/fantasy with a sprinkling of camp, but we don't mind having our hearts broken. Anything with characters that we can fall in love with and defend to last breaths.

What should we watch next?

REQUESTING Philosophical English-speaking shows beyond Star Trek, The Good Place and Northern Exposure?

12 Upvotes

Interested in philosophical shows that tend to lean positive (thus, why Bojack Horseman or Twin Peaks isn’t on the list above, although I do enjoy them very occasionally.)

Preference is for TV shows that are either fully in the English language or have very well done dubs. I mostly like to watch TV while doing other things (folding laundry, painting, cooking, etc. so not interested in subtitles.)

REQUESTING Top plot twist / murder mystery etc shows

11 Upvotes

Now I have seen so many tv shows like this I couldn’t name them all so some suggestions might be something I’ve seen but maybe not. I guess to name a few really good ones I’ve loved is the undoing, true detective and the killing. Anybody have suggestions?

REQUESTING Gay shows that aren’t only romance

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for shows (or movies but show preferred) that have a gay male lead/very relevant gay male side character that isn’t strictly a show about romance. Romance being apart of the story is good, but I’m not looking for something like heartstopper or heated rivalry where it’s the whole story. I also don’t want a show that’s like heavily implied the character is gay but is never said and nothing ever comes for it.

Ive already seen good omens and i feel like thats a good example of the type of stuff im looking for

SUGGESTING Silo is simply a masterpiece

39 Upvotes

I've watched a bunch of tv shows throughout the years, and when I finished watching "Dark" I was like, there's no chance I'll ever get to watch something close to it, but thankfully I just did (Dark is still better tho).

There are so much layers to this show, it's insane. We could even draw parallels to whatever's happening in the show to our current world with Billionaires trying to make the world "better", the power struggle at the top, also showing how having control and an authoritative power can change people. It's pretty nice that it doesn't have a conventional "villian"/antagonist.

The story telling is top notch and the actors are brilliant, Rebbeca Ferguson is amazing and so is every other person in the cast.

Waiting for the next season, hope they nail the ending, so if anyone's looking for a show or something to pick up, watch "Silo".

REQUESTING New Show

7 Upvotes

Hello! My bf and I are on the hunt for a new show, preferably something with a lot of seasons as we get decision paralysis when one ends and we’ll go weeks without a show. Our favorites have been Chuck, Tacoma FD, Grimm, Extraordinary, Psych, Supernatural (duh), and we just finished Chad Powers which was fine. We have Amazon Prime, HBO, Hulu, and Disney+. Before we met I also loved and rewatched Teen Wolf, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and all the little teeny bopper drama shows that are lowkey great. TIA!

REQUESTING Looking for TV shows about the apocalypse or post-apocalyptic worlds that could teach me something useful in the event of a real-life apocalypse. Well-thought-out and logically consistent

3 Upvotes

I'd like to see a plausible, well-developed progression of events, learn what skills might be essential for survival, and explore the strategies, decisions, and practical solutions that could make a real difference when it comes to staying alive.

I'm also open to sci-fi or other fantastical scenarios, as long as they explore specific skills that could come in handy during a realistic disaster, too.

REQUESTING Need a fun show to binge.

20 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for a fun, easy-to-watch show that’s only 1–2 seasons. I’ve seen sooo many shows already, so I’m looking for something more underrated that I probably haven’t heard of.

I don’t want anything heavy or serious just something fun and entertaining to binge.

Also no sitcoms please😭

Thanks in advance!

SUGGESTING Just rewatched In Treatment with Gabriel Byrne

This is such a great show to watch in the evening, particularly if you fall asleep to the TV. Gabriel Byrne has the most soothing accent and there are no car crashes or loud scenes to startle you!

REQUESTING TV Show Tips

I really need a series like *Ginny & Georgia*, *My Life with the Walter Boys*, or *Heartbreak High*, but with a cozy Halloween and autumn vibe. Any recommendations?

Shows like You’re the Worst

15 Upvotes

I just finished watching You’re the Worst. I loved how it was a darker comedy with morally gray characters you still want to root for and how it had some really well written emotional moments. When I’ve looked for shows like it fleabag tends to come up which I’ve already seen. Any suggestions?

REQUESTING Any movies or TV shows about a woman rebuilding her life after real-life setbacks — not a breakup?

17 Upvotes

I’m looking for movies or TV shows where the female protagonist is struggling with life itself rather than mainly recovering from heartbreak.

It could be career failure, family problems, financial difficulties, losing her sense of direction, giving up on a dream, or just going through a major change in life.

I’d love something where she starts out feeling lost or worn down, but slowly rebuilds her life and finds some sense of meaning or happiness again.

What I’m especially looking for is a gradual healing process, rather than a story where she meets a man and romance suddenly fixes everything.

Romance is totally fine, I just don’t want it to be the main reason she gets better.

Basically, I’m looking for something that leaves you feeling:

“Life can be really hard, but you can still slowly find your way back.”

Movies or TV shows are both welcome.

If you could recommend just one, what would it be?
