Need to find something to watch

I’m going on a break soon and I’m finding it really hard to find something worth watching. My biggest problem is that I need to get hooked immediately or I’ll get bored and stop watching.

Some of the TV series I’ve really enjoyed include Brooklyn Nine Nine, Criminal Minds, Mindhunter, Homeland, Bones, The Pitt, HIMYM, Gilmore Girls, Reign, and Teen Wolf.

Looking for shows that ended properly

I am looking for any shows that have themes adjacent to Thriller, Fantasy, Supernatural, Mystery, Action etc. I only care about 2 things:

  1. The show reached it's proper conclusion, it wasn't cancelled or cut short.

  2. It had a good ending. It has to be a proper ending that ties up all the loose ends, give proper conclusions to all storylines/characters, isn't super rushed (It can be a rushed ending as long as the rest of the show is good and the ending does a decent enough job of tying everything up.).

This is coming from someone who has experienced too many shows just slowly degrade in quality and the final season being so bad it fucks everything up and ruins the whole show. Thank you.

Shows with characters like Frank from Shameless - genius brains not doing genius work

Looking for brilliant minds either fucking up, doing mundane things, and/or in blue collar, working man jobs. Humor is a bonus.

Looking for shows with strong female leads who make morally grey decisions like Clarke in The 100

Clarke Griffin is one of my favorite TV protagonists because she constantly makes impossible choices without being purely heroic or villainous. Looking for shows with similarly complex female leads.

Already watched: Orphan Black, Dark, Alias, Killing Eve

Open to any genre.

What do you think is the surprisingly best new show (last two years or less)?

I pick Widow’s Bay. Love the setting on the island, has interesting characters, good writing, and has some decent scares and mysteries.

Window's bay and From suggestions

I want series exactly like these.

I've already watched LOST​, The Dome (something)

people stuck somewhere and they can't leave. mystery, good story, good side and main characters.

widow's bay only has 5 episodes but it's pretty good.

Looking for unhinged shows like The Boys

The Boys finished today and I really loved the show despite its flaws particularly in later seasons

One thing that stood out was how gory and "unhinged", it was meaning not afraid to go over the top (blood, sex whatever) and take risks by killing characters off suddenly

So i'm requesting shows similar to this that basically just don't play it safe

LGBTQ shows and movies? I’m working on a project…

So I’ve decided to start a project. Make a big list of all lgbtq shows and movies, with specific info like the characters age range, the specific representation happening, genre, etc and it will be filter-able so it’s easy to find something you might like.

Anyways, to do this I need to know the shows and movies to put in the list. So give me all the shows and movies you know where it’s surrounding the lgbtq community

Examples:
Heated rivalry
Heartstopper
Red white and royal blue
Crush
Love Simon
Love victor
Young royals

Looking for immersive show with a more episodic and less “serialized” structure

I’m stuck at home recovering from an injury. I’m looking for shows I can binge that are immersive, not so much light and comedic, but I don’t want anything that’s suspenseful and cliffhanger-y from episode to episode, that has an overarching storyline for the whole series or season. I don’t mind character and background storyline continuity, just not sustained narrative or plotline episode-to-episode suspense and stress, if that makes sense. Eg, I’m looking for something less like Black Sails (as good as it is) and more like The Pitt! Any ideas?
