r/televisionsuggestions

So far I’ve really enjoyed Silo, Severance, Slow Horses, Knifes Edge, Pachinko, and Pluribus.

EDIT: Also watched The Studio

I tried watching Shrinking, but frankly, it felt a bit too cliche to me; I’m just not into those feel good type of shoes.

Ted Lasso seems like an obvious selection, but idk I get similar vibes from it. Also, I’m a bit of a football noob, so frankly the Americanization of football doesn’t seem so enticing to me.

Anyways, feel free to let me know how wrong I am, or if there’s any shows I’m missing out on.

I like slow crime stuff, they like comedies and anything light. We end up rewatching the same sitcom every night. What was the show that finally worked for both of you?

Here are some shows that I’ve enjoyed in recent years in no particular order (just ones that popped in my head):

Silo
Man Seeking Woman
Most shows with Greg Davies
Futureman (3 or 4 times)
Widow’s Bay
Dirk Gently’s HDA
Sugar
Party Down
Slow Horses
Colin from Accounts
The Great
Patriot
Lupin
How To with John Wilson
I Think You Should Leave
Andor
Fisk
What We Do in the Shadows (anything with Berry)
Mrs. Davis
The Resort
…just to name a few on my mind…

Now I scroll through apps and it seems like I’ve seen everything I’m interested in. Thanks for any suggestions you may have!

I’m looking for a show that completely immerses you in a group of characters.

A good reference point for what I mean is the early seasons of The Walking Dead. I loved when the group felt like a genuine little community, everyone had their own personality, relationships and role, people disagreed about what to do, there were difficult moral dilemmas, loyalties were tested, people went out on runs and came back, arguments happened, people looked after each other, etc.

That feeling of “I’m part of this group and I know these people” is what I’m chasing.

I want:

Exceptional acting

Really deep, layered characters

Incredible writing and character development

Strong chemistry and believable relationships

A group that genuinely feels like a family/community/team

A central location/base/home/community that you become familiar with

Lots of interaction between the characters, not just individual storylines

Real dilemmas, disagreements, loyalty and consequences

A world that feels lived-in and immersive

Ideally some danger/adventure/survival, but it doesn't have to be an apocalypse

Humour is fine when it comes naturally from the characters

Basically, I want to become weirdly attached to the entire group and feel like I’m living alongside them.

I have watched two shows in a row where a romantic relationship is teased the entire show, ONLY FOR IT TO NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPEN!!! (Weeds with Nancy+Andy, and Deadwind with Karppi and Nurmi) and as a bonus Chestnut Man! IYKYK.

I want a show with a good story independent of whatever romance subplot there is, but for the romance to actually be good and have a payoff at the end. I’m tired of being teased and let down!!!!

Edit: bonus points if the show isn’t a procedural

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

Cozy and murders just don't coexist in his mind, and the American shows we watch just don't have the same atmosphere. Murder She Wrote is probably the closest I can think of, but it's not the same feeling to me.

Hey, I've found it hard to engage in TV for a good while,and would like to get back into it but due to low attention span/ thinking alot of TV is not my taste, I was wondering if, based on what I've managed to get through completely in the past and enjoyed/thouroughly enjoyed, if anyone might be able to suggest anything else i could start. If not, no worries!

BoJack Horseman (5 stars for me, rewatched, amazing)

Fleabag ( 5 stars)

The Flight Attendant (3.5, love a troubled protagonist with alcoholism as an issue)

Yellow Jackets (3.5, like the Lord of The Flies vibes and how it makes me what to look at psychological breakdowns of characters, and morally grey characters pushed by circumstances)

Bob's Burgers ( is kind of an outlier in the sense it was a comfort show through struggling with burnout and I liked how the Burger family loved each other unconditionally)

Ugly Betty (good drama about ambition, and made me emotional once so i rate it for that)

Desperate Housewives ( watched when i was much younger but liked the darker plotlines and Brees masking)

Schitts Creek (lovely wholesome show thats full of acceptance and made me cry twice)

The End if the F*****g World (just good dry humour and dark)

Edit: Thanks to another commentor i remembered i also LOVE: Kevin Can F**k Himself (amazingly underrated and nuanced enough to warrant multiple rewatches with a morally grey main character and showcasing the wavering road to a tyoe of survival even if its dark,and everything and everyone in between

Long story short (makers of BoJack, nuce story, good enough that the fans of BJ will watch just because, like i did, but in the meantime learned something about the culture, life, and family dynamics of an American Jewish family and the aftermath of their childhood in a very beautiful and interesting way)

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?

• True Detective

Heyo, I’m looking for wlw romance movies that have a very thrilling and fun plot.

I recently watched bound (1996), D.E.B.S. And I also saw the series first kill.

They were really enjoyable and sweet and I’m just looking for some really interesting movies with sweet intimacy between the couple and a thrilling plot.

Plot twists are welcome, angst is welcome, happy endings are very welcome and looking for chemistry between them.

Movies where it shows that they really care for each other and the directing team, writing team, whatever team working on the movies aren’t afraid to show it.

All recs are welcome and I’d be very thankful for them.

Please and thank you and I hope everyone has a wonderful day or night😁
