r/televisionsuggestions

as the title says. lately i really liked sharp objects, hannibal nbc, true detective s1 and strangers from hell so i'm looking for something with similar vibes. i LOVE complex characters (especially female characters like in sharp objects and hannibal) so it's my biggest requirement. also i really like depressing, suffocating vibe and murder mystery. i prefer not too many episodes. i'd rather watch miniseries/series with 50 eps max

Desperate for something new to watch, but can't find specifics in common with things I like to then search for if ya get me.

Ive recently liked: killing eve, agatha all along, broadchurch, wandavision, shameless us.

I really can't watch another greys anatomy I'll go mad :)

So I've been wanting to watch one of the many iconic and beloved shows that I've either not fully finished in the past or haven't checked out and I've narrowed it to 3 for now, Breaking Bad, Avatar The Last Airbender and Game of Thrones and I've asked around at work and such and basically am at a tie between the three and figured this would be a larger way to gauge

I can’t get myself to watch anything these days, literally anything. I have been trying to get into shows that are highly recommended over here, maybe they are just slow and I feel like I won’t have the mental energy to put into liking something that requires the effort to watch for an hour to get into it. 😭😭
Anyways here is a list of my favs that I regret watching now that I can’t find anything lol -

Gossip Girl
Breaking Bad
Mindhunter
TVD
Love Story
Normal People
Euphoria
You
White Lotus
The Girlfriend
Black Mirror
Elite
Baby

I think I'll just start off by listing the shows I've enjoyed the most:

• 10/10 rating:
  • Shogun
  • Peaky Blinders
  • Vikings
  • Game of Thrones
  • Sherlock
  • Chernobyl
• 9/10 rating:
  • The Last of Us
  • Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
  • Narcos
  • The Witcher (season 1)

I honestly don't watch TV a whole lot, but it's partially because there are so many TV series these days and I have a hard time to decide what to watch.

I tend to enjoy historical and fantasy stuff the most. Sci-fi and everything related to science are also appreciated. Nolan is my favorite movie director, so those vibes in a TV show would go hard as well.

Sitcoms and romance aren't really my thing, neither is anything where all the drama is caused by sleeping around and doing other dumb stuff while in a relationship. I've also noticed I tend to favor shows that aren't entirely US-focused (I can make exceptions here ofc, but I don't generally find modern American culture all that fascinating (sorry)).

Hopefully you guys have some suggestions.

Thanks!

hello, im looking for some new drama series to watch that features queer characters. some of my favorite shows are elite, heartbreak high, sense8 and more. ive waatched a LOT of these queer serieses so im getting a bit desperate, perhaps someone has a new suggestion for me.
i know this is a request that has been asked before, but i couldnt find anything interesting. perhaps there's something new.
platform + language doesnt matter, just needs to be good. if you have any recs that you recommend that are a bit different, feel free to comment. i know most of the one's im listing are teen dramas but i would be happy to find new kinds of shows i like. (not a big fan of sci-fi & the supernatural)
ive watched: young royals, hearstopper, never have i ever, sex lives of college girls, prisma (underrated), sex education, please like me, xo kitty, rebelde, control z, tiny pretty things, olympo, one of us is lying and all the big names, probably. couldnt get into deadloch, also saw people saying 'our flag means death' but idk the trailer didnt really appeal to me
edit: should've carified also not big into horror; a lot of the suggestions are sci-fi/supernatural ;(, i do really appreciate it, but im not really into it

I honestly don't like crime fighting shows. I've never liked them as for me they fall under the same umbrella as horror. I don't like being on edge and scared from them. But High Potential was different, I genuinely loved this show. What I see what any crime fighting show is it doesn't seem like there's a main plot other then they fight crime. One of the things I liked about High Potential was it had a main plot of following Morgens life (not gunna spoil anything so that's all say) and that it's not crime fighting, it's murder mystery and doesn't actually have a lot of violence.

Other then high Potential I've genuinely only ever watched showed like: Paw Patrol, Bluey, Owl House, the Simson's and other shows like that. I just never found interest in live action shows until now.

What would you guys recommend?

Thank you for all the recommendations, some of them really peek my intrest!

I am currently trying to learn Dutch and I thought watching Dutch-language tv shows could be a good method to aid my learning. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
