r/tvsuggestions

Hey all. My little one just turned 3 and we've started doing a bit of screen time on weekends. But I'm trying not to just hand over the tablet and disappear, I actually want it to be something we watch together. Like, me sitting next to her, pointing at stuff, laughing at the same bits. More of a family thing than a babysitter.

The tricky part is that a lot of what she picks on her own is kind of a lot really fast, really loud and she ends up wired and grumpy the second it's over. So I'm hunting for stuff that's a bit calmer and warmer. The kind of show where we can both enjoy it and maybe even chat about it after.

So, fellow parents: what does your 3-year-old genuinely love that you also don't mind watching? Bonus points if it's ever led to a nice little conversation or moment between you two. Open to shows, specific episodes, whatever you've got.

I have Netflix and Disney Plus. I’ve recently moved in with my friend and his kids. They only have Network television, so I’d thought I’d introduce them to Netflix and Disney Plus. I have ideas for shows he’d like, but I don’t know what his kids would like.

His son is a seven-year-old elementary school student. His favorite shows are Wild Kratts, and Cyberchase. His favorite hobby is playing pretend adventure games, and he also really likes playing basketball.

The younger daughter is a fourteen-year-old homemaker. Her favorite show is Call the Midwife. She also really likes All Creatures Great and Small, and The Waltons. Her favorite hobbies are playing pretend games with her brother, and playing card games.

The son and the younger daughter are very close, probably because he's often in her care while the dad's at work. They both really like Nature, Molly of Denalli, Arthur, Carl the Collector, and Leave It to Beaver.

The older daughter says she doesn't need any suggestions because she has seen some paid tv at her friends houses, and they gave her some suggestions for other shows she might like.

I'm looking for TV shows with supernatural themes, but I'm not a fan of horror. I enjoy stories about ghosts, creatures, magic, folklore, unexplained phenomena, and the paranormal in general, as long as the focus isn't on jump scares, graphic violence, or constant horror.

Shows I liked:

• SurrealEstate
• Forever
• iZombie
• What We Do in the Shadows
• Ghosts (US)
• Haunted Hotel
• Supernatural
• Gravity Falls

Shows I didn't like:

• Dead Like Me
• Lockwood & Co.
• The Good Place
• Ghost Whisperer
• Pushing Daisies
• Lucifer
• Shining Vale
• Moonlight
• Bodkin
• The X-Files

I fear I’ve watched almost every tv show (that I’m interested in) already.

I have every streaming service (Apple TV, NowTV, Disney+, Netflix, BBC, ITV, etc) so there is no restriction.

I’ve been sick for months so unfortunately just been spending time recovering and that includes a lot of time in bed watching shows.

I will list a few shows that I’ve watched and enjoyed but this is not an exhaustive list as it truly would just go on for ages.

I love period and medieval dramas such as The Guilded Age, The Empress, Downton Abbey, Sanditon, Belgravia, Bridgerton, Alias Grace, White Princess, House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones and AKOTSK.
^this is my absolute favourite genre but I think I’ve watched everything good. For example I don’t like the Serpent Queen and I don’t like The Great.

I love adult animation such as Bobs Burgers, Rick and Morty,

I love other shows such as The White Lotus, The Last of Us, Killing Eve, Shrinking, Capture, The Queens Gambit, Insecure, HTGAWM, Supacell, Orphan Black, Top Boy, Gossip Girl, Modern Family, Euphoria, Big Little Lies, Succession, Young Sheldon, Black Mirror, Atlanta, Desperate Housewives, Devious Maids, Pretty Little Liars (stopped watching when the story got ridiculous), 90210 reboot, This is us, Empire, Steal, Joan, All Her Fault, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments, Severance.

I could go on but it seems sensible to stop.

I don’t like gore and scary stuff (GOT was the exception) nor medical shows.
I LOVE anthology series’.

I’d be really grateful for recommendations.

What should I watch next guys?

The Lost

(OR)

The Wire

It’s one of my favorite shows with Kristin Kruek and Jay Ryan. It is sooo good but I never hear it talked about

I love to binge watch shows but I can't really find anything that interests me nowadays. Some of my favorite shows are House, Greys Anatomy, The Mentalist, Game of Thrones, Blacklist, Criminal Minds, The Walking Dead, The Vampire Diaries Universe, Bones, Monk, and the list goes on. I just can't find anything that hooks me in like those shows have. I was thinking about picking up Doctor Who again but I'm not sure. I tried to watch it a few years ago and I couldn't get into it. But maybe now that I've matured I can try it again? I don't know. I'd appreciate it if you guys could recommend me a show, using the shows I've already watched as a reference. Any genre is fine.

EDIT: THANK YOU SM

Suggest some good movies/tv series/animes/kdrama. Which keeps me on screen, I've watched alot and now I get bored really easily, so suggest some good ones that are worth binge watching.

so I’ve been trying to figure out my taste in shows: Really like modern family, the good place, Schitts creek, friends, criminal minds, the rookie, suits, Ted lasso but couldn’t get into community, arrested development, parks and rec, breaking bad, dark, castle, new girl, gilmore girls Currently starting the mentalist which I’m so-so on.

So obviously what I like are shows that you don’t have to use your brain to watch, but I’m thinking what connects them are the characters?? So if you have any recs or think I should retry something please help!

Need a US or UK/Scottish show to watch while eating. Currently binging Tulsa King at night

great show but too bloody for breakfast

Looking for something with fast pacing and good drama, or a light British/Scottish vibe. Engaging but doesn't ruin my appetite. Any recommendations?

Just as the title says. I want a steamy soap opera thats funny and dramatic it doesn't have to be exactly like desperate housewives but i want some reminders of the ladies of wisteria lane

Looking to make the most of my TV's HDR capabilities and want to explore some of the best content Apple TV+ has to offer. Whether it's a critically acclaimed series or a visually stunning movie, I'm open to anything — as long as it supports HDR

Drop your top recommendations below!

The title is enough

i'm looking for suggestions on teen shows to watch, i enjoy outer banks, teen wolf and ginny and georgia. i don't really have preferences but 5 seasons or less is good, and none horror though.

Watched a lot of the classic crime stuff (Broadchurch, Happy Valley, The Killing) and while they're all good I'm wanting something with a mystery to solve but not so heavy on trauma. Something more in the vein of Only Murders in the Building, Poker Face, or maybe Elsbeth. Doesnt need to be a comedy exactly, just something where I can enjoy the puzzle without feeling emotionally wrecked by the end of every episode. Any length is fine

I’m looking for something like Lost or Twin Peaks where there is this underlying mystery that is revealed to you slowly over time and you’re expected to try and piece it together and understand what’s happened/happening. Does anyone have any shows like that?

Preferably something that spans the show or at the very least a season, no one off mysteries like CSI please. Im looking for an overarching story not a case of the week mystery (thought case of the week is fine if it contains a longer ongoing mystery outside of it ala Fringe)

I'm looking for a new TV show to binge. Any recommendations? I enjoy wholesome, feel-good shows, but I'm open to trying other genres too. 😊

Thank you guys!!

Some movies and shows I loved are voicemails for Isabelle, my fault&your fault London, the vampire diaries, forever my girl, one tree hill, the summer I turned pretty, good girls, the beast in me, early seasons of outlander etc. any suggestions would be appreciated! It bothers me to watch shows that are badly dubbed so I’d rather stick with English. I watched off campus and liked it but not enough to rewatch. Thank you
