    Shows like MTVā€™s downtown

    As the title suggests Iā€™m looking for adult, slice of life shows which focus on young adults; similar to MTVā€™s downtown. I love that show and it just left a hole in my heart knowing that thereā€™s no 2nd season. So Iā€™m looking for something similar.

    Comedy TV shows made in the 2000s that appeal to awkward hipster/nerd types?

    Not sure about the hipster/nerd types part, but looking for shows like The Flight of the Conchords, The IT Crowd, and The Office that have that sort of awkward 2000s vibe. Specifically only looking for shows made in the 2000s. Thanks!

    Hanna (Prime Video series) is excellent!

    I've had this series on my watch list for a long time, I wish I had started it sooner (two episodes in, please no spoilers). It's a very well written thriller, that keeps you constantly engaged. Yet it has warmth and heart to it as well. It also reunites Joel Kinneman and Mireille Enos, from The Killing. Brilliant action sequences, some well written dark humor. You're never quite sure where it's going to take you next. Highly recommended!

    recommendations on what to watch

    Hi all, looking for something good to watch. no genre in particular, but i'm very picky with what i like and hoping someone could point me into the right direction.

    some of my all time favourite shows are;

    - Dead like me

    - Community

    - yellowjackets

    -sweetpea

    -pantheon (or anything animated of the sorts but i've seen alot, almost everything lol)

    - ghosts (the american one sorry)

    - kevin can f himself

    - charmed (the original one)

    - a series of unfortunate events

    - the umbrella academy

    - theres more (so much more) but i think these are definitely my top picks

    and ofc the usuals like friends, the office, new girl but i'm not really that into those. i like weird off beat things that usually end up getting cancelled after 1 season (end of the fing world, i'm looking at you)

    anything with magick or paranormal, don't care about gore or death. doesn't have to be either of those as long as its good, please help

    thank you so so much in advance xx

    A TV show to get me through the cold dark winter, please read full description

    I get super depressed in the winter months and am usually able to find a good show to look forward to watching every night to help me get through it. In the recent past the shows I've enjoyed for this are Peep Show, Detectorists, Superstore, Wilfred, Spaced, Single Drunk Female, Kingdom (the Korean zombie show), Katla, Fortitude, Black Mirror, Scavenger's Reign, Electric Dreams, Maniac, The Bates Motel, etc. I've watched a ton of shows and I don't want to rewatch ones I've already seen, looking for something new to engage with. I currently have HBO Max and none of those shows seem to be cutting it. I tried watching Severance and it didn't keep my interest. I've seen and loved Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Saw Mr Robot and was disappointed with the ending. Watched Stranger Things (and most other Netflix shows) and lost interested after a few seasons. I don't like detective shows or procedurals or medical dramas. I don't like political or businessman shows. I've seen most of the sitcoms from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. Seen and loved Reservation Dogs, tried Dark Winds and lost interest because it's a detective show/police drama. Tried Pushing Daisies- don't like it- detective/mystery show. Enjoyed Transparent and Baskets. I know that's a lot, but I'm super picky and my tastes are all over the place.

    Edit to add: also not a big fan of crime or mystery shows.

    Iā€™ve liked:

    Shameless

    Desperate Housewives

    Downton Abbey

    Gossip Girl

    I like shows with plot and drama but not super serious so I can watch it while I cook, etc. Preferably more quality than Gossip Girl though lol

    Any suggestions for a chill show with a splash of culture and an inexplicable magic quality.

    Not too much to ask right? šŸ˜‰

    Anyone have any suggestions for an easy watch, chill TV show with a splash of culture that takes you somewhere interesting? I'll admit I'm struggling to define exactly what I'm after, so it might be best to give an example.

    Man vs food, I'm English and man vs food is played on some of those "oh man there must be nothing on, because you're so far down the list of channels" channels on TV.

    Its been running for years now and on the rare occasion I turn it on, it reminds me of the warm feeling I got watching it when I was younger. The show travels round the US and focuses on local cooking styles and food challenges, but that's not what I loved about it, that's just sort of something to give it a purpose in the foreground. The actual enjoyment I got out of it came from the slice of culture (or something like that...) that I got from it. It just felt so different to English versions of the same thing. It's a bit intangible for me, because I can't explain why I don't feel the same way from the many modern versions of similar shows you can find on streaming platforms etc.

    Just to clarify, the suggestions do not have to be food related.

    I think if I was answering my own question based on this, is suggest Anthony bourdain's parts unknown, but I've just mentioned that. So any other suggestions would be very much appreciated :)

    Shows that make you feel good about humanity?

    Not sure how to phrase exactly what Iā€™m looking for but: my partner and I have a lot of political anxiety right now and Iā€™m looking for something for us to watch that falls under the ā€œfaith in humanity/people can be generally good to each other/characters working together to make things betterā€ category.

    Weā€™ve already seen Avatar: the Last Airbender, Legend of Korra, The Good Place and Man on the Inside which all kind of fit what Iā€™m looking for. Another favorite of mine is Good Omens for similar reasons, and my partner really likes Abbott Elementary.

    We usually go for darker and grittier shows (The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, and Barry are some we liked a lot) but our usual vibe is starting to feel a little too heavy - we started The Curse a few days ago which I thought would be a good change because it seemed less violent but the ā€œpeople are awfulā€ vibes are still there and itā€™s just majorly bumming me out.

    Any ideas? Weā€™re pretty open to any genre, but I donā€™t love the voice acting on a lot of anime.

    How come this show doesnā€™t get love on this sub?

    Color me surprised when I watched this back in December? and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Very fun watch. I liked the movie and am a big fan of Glover, so was always gonna check it out, but was only surprised at how good it was because it seems nobody on this sub ever mentions it. Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoyed the movie. Itā€™s very different, but enjoyable in a similar way, if that makes sense.

    Binge worthy suggestions please

    Looking for a binge worthy show to stream. Below are some shows that I really enjoyed so you understand my taste.

    Severance, Silo, The 3 Body Problem, True Blood, The Leftovers, Childhoods End.

    I recently watched 3 episodes of Fringe and I'm already bored by it. I watched the 1st season of The Expanse and I didn't love it. These surprised me because I tend to really like sci-fi. I need something that can pull me in and hold my attention or else I get bored with it. Any suggestions?
