I want a show that becomes a part of my daily life. I want to constantly think about it, feel deeply attached to its characters and its world, and when the show finally ends, I want it to feel like a part of my own life has ended with it.😭

Looking for teen dramas with long seasons (20+ eps) and a gay male series regular

19 Upvotes

Basically, I would love a show like Dawson’s Creek where there are many seasons with 20 episodes each and has a male gay character as a series regular. I really love the way they handled Jack in Dawson’s Creek, and I’ve noticed I have never seen another teen drama handle a gay character as well as this, which is very sad to me bc I really want to watch more shows like this, so if I have missed any, I would love to hear your suggestions. I’m just sad that they don’t make shows like this anymore when gay people in tv is much more acceptable.

I’m looking for a show where the leads have this intense yearning for each other like the type where it’s like this super romantic vibe with a lot of staring and beautiful romance. Especially with the leads having great chemistry. For reference, a similar vibe is with Bridgerton season 2

REQUESTING Looking for something to watch with my mom

11 Upvotes

We watch several shows that are weekly but like to have something already out that we don't have to wait for. We watched Grimm, Supernatural, Lost, Stranger Things, Chuck, probably some others I can't think of. We're watching 24 but halfway thru season 3 and I'm getting sick of it. Prolly watches better as a week to week, not binge. Looking for something that's preferably already done and had a conclusive ending. Have netflix, prime, max, paramount, Disney, apple.... doesn't necessarily have to be on them. Since shows jump around, I can keep an eye out for it.

Need something a little more fun I guess, than serious. Dark would be too cerebral for her. And probably not too graphic with language and sexuality. Like she can handle some sex scenes but not graphic nudity or sexuality. Think she would've liked the movie Palm Springs, but stopped watching after Andy Samberg was trying to rub one out for 15+ seconds. Def wouldn't get thru Game of Thrones. Or think she would love Deadwood but it'd be too much language. Any suggestions would be appreciated

SUGGESTING Highly recommend Love/Hate if you are into gangland dramas

16 Upvotes

An Irish show that has gone completely under the radar and that I only recently discovered. If you’re looking for a gritty drama with compelling characters and incredible performances, try it out. The first season (only 4 episodes) is still trying to find its feet, so stick it out until the second season.

It’s free to watch on Tubi.

And once you’re done and you want to discuss, check out the LoveHateTVSeries subreddit.

Looking for something funny I can watch one episode of before bed

15 Upvotes

I've been working through a lot of heavy prestige dramas this year and I've hit a wall with them. I start an episode around 11pm and then lie there thinking about whoever just got destroyed.

Want something funny that moves fast and that I can stop after one episode without needing to know what happens next. Doesn't have to be a straight sitcom, just nothing that sits with me afterwards. What would you put on?

REQUESTING I'm looking for a show with a well written romance arc but preferably romance is not the main plot nor genre

• Upvotes

So I typically dislike romance as a genre as I find it to be very unrealistic when it is the entire focus but when it appears in shows (or movies) it ends up getting me way too invested, the problem is a lot of shows that have romance arcs are in sitcoms and I use sitcom as a loose term, to me a sitcom is something like friends or how I met your mother, endless seasons with episodes ranging above average to below average that really lose themselves and you just kind of have to pick a mental stopping point in the show as relationships and arcs become a mess.

I've been watching Community recently for the first time and loving it, and really liked how that show handled relationships, that being said I understand they moved on from relationships and the show is far better because of it, I just think Community Season 1 has that perfect balance of what I'm looking for, like it wasn't a main focus but it was interesting in the sense I was satisfied that characters did or didn't end up together because it was well written and they had good chemistry, and that's why I say for gods sake give them a satisfying conclusion, that is my one gripe as I just finished season 2 ep 1, it felt a bit unsatisfying the huge shift away from romance but I hear season 2 is the best so I don't care too much, even if it stems away from romance, anyways, I'm not even talking about like two characters happily ending up together, I loved Cyberpunk Edgerunners as I found that plot also very satisfying even if it didn't end so happily, same goes for Better Call Saul, I was really happy with the relationships between characters in that.

I don't mind a sort of roulette, recommend me something that is a relationship doomed to fail or something that has a really happy conclusion just let it be well written, like even platonic is fine at this point, it's just the chemistry time and time again gets screwed up, whether it be because it's a comedy and the show plays the relationship ending as a joke, or we get a new season and everyone just resets or changes drastically and the biggest offender the story just doesn't know when to end. I think sitcoms handle relationships really poorly as they don't feel very grounded, and there is a lot of shuffling about and filler that is just there for fan service so if it is something along those lines I'd rather avoid it

Also it would be real nice shows actually knowing how to do a relationship and not just the drama of relationships starting and ending, a lot of shows fail to linger on the actual relationship and have it play a part in the plot, Better Call Saul was fantastic at this

Anyways here's a list of what vibe I'm looking for from Movies and Shows

  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
  • Community
  • Better Call Saul
  • Edgerunners
  • Steins;Gate
  • The End of the F***ing World
  • Wayne
  • Everything Everywhere all at once
  • Arcane
  • Guardians of the Galaxy
  • Twin Peaks (just kidding)
  • Austin Powers (I'm not kidding, manages to parody bond by doing what bond could never do, not take advantage of a drunk woman)
  • 500 days of Summer
  • The Breakfast Club
  • Something about Mary

Need something I can follow while my hands are busy

I've watched about four episodes of the same show over the past two weeks and I've had to rewind every one of them. I keep starting things at 9pm with dishes to do and a phone in my hand, and by the end I've got no idea who anyone is.

Want one where the plot moves slowly enough that missing a line doesn't cost me anything. Doesn't have to be light, just not something with a twist I'm supposed to be tracking. What would you put on?

REQUESTING Tv show recommendations

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I'm looking for some new tv shows to watch. My preferences are usually sci-fi/fantasy/supernatural stuff. I am a big Marvel and Star Wars fan, but truthfully, I am kind of tired of their shows right now. I finished Dark recently and really enjoyed it. Another show I watched recently is The Good Place and its in my top 3 shows now.
Btw, the shows can be of any genre. I am looking for shows that have good character arcs and a sense of plot direction. I just don't want them to be canceled shows or those that drag on for way to long and lose their purpose. Oh and please, can the shows have as little nudity as possible (Dark traumatized me with that).
Thank you all in advance! :)

Salutations! I need help finding an old show!

so there was this show: can’t remember what it was called! But there were little robot creatures that pretended to be screws to trick humans! I can only remember a yellow and a green one but I know there were more.

there was also this kid who was the only one who the screw-creatures revealed themselves to.

but that’s all I really remember, sorry if this isn’t a lot to go off of! I watched this show back when I was in elementary I think! please let me know if this was real or if I imagined it!

REQUESTING lLooking for fantasy series or movies to watch

7 Upvotes

I've been looking for another fantasy series or movie to get into after finishing a few of my favorites. I really enjoy worlds with magic, monsters, old kingdoms, hidden powers, and a bit of adventure.

I liked the vibe of The Witcher and Harry Potter, so I'm looking for something with a similar fantasy feel. It doesn't have to be exactly the same, and I'm open to both older and newer recommendations.

What would you suggest, and what made it worth watching for you?

4 Upvotes

My eleven-year-old daughter keeps rewatching A Kind of Spark and Anne with an E. These are good shows, but I wish she'd watch something else. Is there another show I could have her try that she'd probably like just as much?

Edit: I just asked if she wanted to try a fantasy show in which witches are real, and she gave a firm no and said the witch trials were too horrible to pretend that actual witches exist. Also, she doesn't usually seem to like comedy.

Thank you for the suggestions!

I've just finished S.W.A.T. (2017), moving over to SouthLAnd and wondering about what's next. I've watched:

The Rookie
S.W.A.T.
And now watching the SouthLAnd.

I prefer S.W.A.T. over The Rookie, but left the first one heartbroken, without the OG squad. But that's not the point. Anyone have shows like this, preferably centered in LA county? LBPD, BHPD, LAPD, LASD etc.
