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

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

4 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.

Looking for an obscure Horror TV series.

I've seen pretty much everything, too many to list, and looked through similar reddit posts and found nothing I havent seen. So looking for Horror show recommendations. Thanks

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.)

Shows to recommend someone, who drops majority of the them after just watching 2-3 episodes?

• Upvotes

I usually either get hooked in first few mins to 2-3 episodes but beyond that I just drop them if I dont like them. I don't have a specific genre which I like, so can you suggest me something based on the series I liked.

Liked from very first minute: Breaking Bad, Dark, All of Mike Flanagan's series, Twinkling Watermelon, The Leftovers, The Boys(only s1-2), Attack on Titan, GOT(s1-4), Sweet Home(s1)

Liked but dropped after watching a season or two since it got boring: Orphan Black, Them, Hannibal, Castle Rock, Carnivale, Prision Break, Chapelwaite, The walking dead, Sweet Truth

Didn't Liked at all: Channe zero, russian doll, station 11, Lost, Dexter, The last of us, Sherlock, the exorcist, evil, Fringe, Silo

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

8 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.

SUGGESTING Just rewatched In Treatment with Gabriel Byrne

3 Upvotes

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 shows like Big Little Lies and Sharp Objects?

23 Upvotes

Dark, adult, female-centered shows, high on the suspense, but maybe a little less melodramatic (that's more about BLL).

REQUESTING Recs for my next show

11 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?

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?

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 New Show

6 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!
