    Shows with themes of found family/feel good/figuring out life

    I really enjoy shows that have a sort of coming of age and/or figuring out life vibe. Other things I enjoy are found family and feel good energy. I enjoy watching characters move through life, figure themselves out, and grow. Some shows I’ve really loved

    The Bold Type, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Heartstopper, Love Victor, My Life With The Walter Boys, Ted Lasso, How I Met Your Mother, Friends, Sweet Magnolias, The Good Place, Parks and Rec

    What is a series like Yellow Jackets or the Society?

    I really like the weird paranormal aspect of both shows, combined with the fact that they have to survive. Sort of similar to Dark in a way. Idk, any recommendations like those shows that I mentioned are appreciated.

    Military or Police theme

    Looking for shows like Band of brothers, Live(Korean police drama), Descendants of the Sun. Basically a show about grunts and lower level officers in military or police... Could be drama or action or even comedy. Also from the POV of the uniform serviceman and women so not shows like Narcos or something... Please suggest.. Could be any language/country

    I just watched Bodkin on Netflix, i think it's amazing. Part of me thinking that i greatly enjoyed series who centers on group of people, in a small outskirt town, trying to solve/ find out the mystery lingers within the town. Can anyone suggest series that has similar setting with this series?

    These are the series i found it has similar vibe with it.

    Midnight Mass (2021)

    True Detective Season 1

    The Third Day (2020)

    If possible somewhere in UK, Ireland, Appreciate it.

    Any shows like Dark!!

    Dark maybe the best show ever created in the sci fi/mystery genre. It is short, well written and amusing, keep the audience on the edge of their seats!!

    Thinking Person's Crime Drama?

    What were some of the greatest, past TV shows ever made, that epitomized the idea of being a "thinking person's" crime drama / cop show, and still hold up today?

    I've heard about shows like Magnum P.I. or Miami Vice, but is that just nostalgia speaking, or do such shows still hold up?

    Maybe something gritty like The Wire?

    Any shows that you can think of? Thanks.

    shows with complex father/daughter dynamics?

    there’s a lot of media where the father and the daughter have a very wholesome and heartfelt relationship but i’d like some recommendations for something that’s more complex and kind of devastating (ex: elena and victor from one day at a time, fiona and frank from shameless, etc)

    TV series in the similar vein of Bates Motel. Horror/Psychological thriller that isn't a police procedural or Sci-Fi.

    Drama shows for my 65 yo mom and 92 yo grandma?

    Hey all, Netflix has SUCH a huge collection now my mom is getting lost in options instead of actually watching 😂

    Anyway, prefer clean shows (GMA doesn’t like cussing) but it doesn’t have to be squeaky clean. She also doesn’t care for sex but they have seen plenty of it lately. Also prefer it be in English.

    They’ve watched:

    Virgin River, cable girls, cook of castemere, downton Abby, sweet magnolias, call the midwife, the crown, shows like these.

    They watched the Bridgerton side show about the black girl and crazy king (can’t recall name) but I told them bridgerton would be TOO much sex for them.

    Any thoughts, thanks in advance! Oh and we have Prime and Hulu as well.

    Recommendations for political drama series focused on government.

    Hi, i just wanted to be recommended shows that focuses on the government, preferably where the main character(s) are somebody with a lot of power (King/Queen, Prince/Princess, President, Congressperson, Prime Minister, Supreme Leader, etc). l'd like something with a more realistic portrayal of politics, but l'll still accept series that can seem over the top and goofy, like White House Down (I know it’s a movie but it’s the best example of what I was talking about). I’ve seen The West Wing, Madam Secretary, Designated Survivor, House of Cards, and The Regime, so I would very much appreciate suggestions that are similar to those shows.

    Family shows (and movies) that are not for kids

    Me and my dad love shows like designated survivor, and once upon a time. Movies like Brewster’s Billions, Instant family, Inception. We have a hard time finding movies and shows that don’t have sexual scenes. Any suggestions ?

    New Good Times

    Hey, guys. Wanted to ask about your thoughts on the new 'Good Times' cartoon series on Netflix, and give my thoughts too. The father in this one, is the grandson of James Evans..so this is a couple of generations down. But the family structure is the same(father, mother, younger brother, older brother, sister as the middle child). The youngest son in this, is an infant, but he is a drug-dealer! Michael, in the original, we know was very much against drugs, and especially against them being sold in the black community.

    For those that have watched some episodes of this,...what major differences do you see between the original characters and their counterparts on this new cartoon series?
