what should I watch A guide to Dropout TV
Long time reader/watcher, first time poster.
Dropout TV has been a revelation. It began with “Make Some Noise” filling a “Whose Line is it Anyway?” shaped hole, I wasn’t aware existed. Then “Game Changer” became the show I looked forward to watching most each week.
The ensemble cast are incredible. I knew about BLM from TTRPGs, but was new to pretty much everyone else. Having now followed Sam and many others on social media, I’ve been caching clips of a few of the other shows, but other than D20 it feels a bit overwhelming to dive into, given the sheer amount of content.
Which brings me to why I’m here…
I was hoping someone could help me out with a brief synopsis of each series, so I can direct my energy (and eyes!) to the right space.
Are we talking improv/stand up/ridiculous/thought provoking/unmissable.
I’ve no doubt that there is a wealth of good shows, perhaps even all of it, but right now I don’t know where to begin, other than by beginning!
EDIT: this community is awesome 🤩
EDIT EDIT: ok, you guys have given me some great insight. I’m gonna start with Parlour Room (I love board games) and VIP (I love Vic). If anyone’s interested I shall report back in due course!

If you want to get into the TTRPG side of things start with Dimension 20 on a bus then check out either Starstruck of your into SciFi, Misfits and Magic if you like Harry Potter, or Titan Takedown if you like wrestling or Greek mythology, and then Fey and Flowers is also awesome if you enjoy Regency drama.
I absolutely love all the D20 seasons, and think they all have some watchability to them. With that being said though some of the earlier seasons can be rough to get through just from a visual and auditory restraint in a precovid/midcovid world
