    I'm looking for suggestions for psychological thrillers on TV

    Hi, I asked about The Blacklist the other day and the mods took it down saying it wasn't the right sub. Let me try to explain. I'm looking for TV series or miniseries that are psychological thrillers. I don't care about the setting, as long as they have suspense. As a guide, I'm a big fan of 90s thrillers, so I'd like one that has that feel, but even if it's not strictly a 90s thriller, it's welcome. Thanks!

    Re-watching "Stranger Things". What are your thoughts/opinion on the show and it's upcoming season?

    Just started watching one of my favorite shows again. It's very well known but I'd still love to hear other people's views on it that are interested. I'm looking forward to its last season next year.

    looking for more TV shows like The Strain

    Fast paced, action/adventure, violence, love and/or sex. Great characters. A sci-fi or fantastical element of some kind, from subtle to full blown. I don't mind cheesiness/camp. I'm pretty open minded with how far you wanna stretch these suggestions.

    Completed or non canceled (ongoing) shows only please

    Looking for shows about the rise of authoritarian governments.

    I'm looking for TV shows (or movies) that deal with the rise of, or early years of, fascist or authoritarian governments. Things like The Plot Against America, Man in the High Castle, and Handmaids Tale. Or shows that deal with the resistance to and downfall of fascist governments. Thanks!

    Late 1800s Thriller/Mystery shows?

    Similar to:

    • The Alienist

    • Ripper Street

    • Murdoch Mysteries

    • The Knick

    • Boardwalk Empire

    • Peaky Blinders

    • Sherlock series (Ive seen all renditions)

    there are a few shows with some supernatural elements out there but im not too big on that (unless there's time-travel involved somewhere) but Taboo & Penny Dreadful just didnt quite hit the spot for me sadly.

    Hi!! looking for a modern positive, uplifting TV series that is extremely binge worthy and fun, thinking like Lost in space vibe, Not necessarily sci fi, but fun adventurous positive. Sick of Walking dead, GOT, BCS, Narcos,BB type stuff. real life, not cartoon or anime. Also, while I enjoy A good joke. I'm not into comedy series either. Just a good adventure/story

    Looking for a show that works as a radio play when I'm only able to look at the screen half a time

    I'm drawn towards shows with smart, funny dialogue that still has some emotional gravitas, and tackles tough issues in a smart way. Previous shows I've loved that would fit this include Star Trek: The Next Generation, West Wing, and Newsroom. Ideally hourish long episodes, but doesnt have to be

    Unreliable Narrators and Multiple Perspectives

    Can anyone recommend shows with unreliable narrators and/or varying perspectives on the same scene?

    For example, The Affair - where you’re shown the exact same event from different characters’ perspectives, and what’s actually happened may be seen completely differently by different characters (ie. actually acted differently, not just a different angle).

    Thanks!

    Any recommendations based off of shows that I’ve enjoyed?

    Hi! I have been looking for a new tv-show for a while but haven’t succeeded yet. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve enjoyed:

    • Manifest
    • The good place
    • Brooklyn 99
    • Gossip Girl
    • Gilmore Girls
    • Bridgerton
    • Superstore
    • Kim’s convenience store
    • The Rookie
    • First 2 seasons of New Girl
    • White Collar
    • Fresh Prince of Bel Air

    I know that these series are very generic, but I just find them really comforting. I like long series if you couldn’t tell haha! A Tv-Show with a long fun plot with a bit of romance would be ideal, probably. But I am not against watching new stuff :) Thanks!

    Exciting and engaging TV shows that aren’t too dark

    Looking for a very particular type of vibe here. I’m struggling with staying interested in a show, so I’m looking for something that is really engaging, whether that means exciting, fast-paced, etc. But I’m also dealing with some mental health struggles right now, which means I don’t really want anything too dark or heavy. Whenever I look for gripping or exciting shows, there’s always a lot of dark stuff recommended. Does anyone have any suggestions that falls in the overlap of these categories? Something fun and easy, but gets you really into it?

    Some examples might be Supernatural, Bones, Wednesday, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Only Murders In The Building, Bridgerton

    Angsty romantic dramas, shows with extremely likeable characters

    It can be anything from enemies to lovers, slow burn, friends to lovers, anything. Some shows I really like recently are the summer I turned pretty, normal people, my life with the Walter boys, one day. It doesn’t even have to be the main focus of the show. I like shows with extremely likable characters I can get attached to. I’ve seen Ginny and Georgia, I can’t really get into heartstopper, I know people say fleabag but I don’t know if I’ll like it. I prefer it to be in English, typically I don’t care but I’m dealing with some stuff right now that makes it extremely hard for me to follow along with anything that isn’t English. I tried maxton hall but can’t get into it because it’s in German. I prefer newer shows I’ve also seen Bridgerton and my lady Jane

    Shows like The Mayfair Witches Books(Not Show)

    For anyone that has read the books by Anne Rice. Is there any shows that have evoked a similar feeling in you? Those books are amazing and the show(at least to the episode I got to) just didn't do it for me.

    What's your favorite Disney shows and or movies available on Disney Plus?

    If you're not in the US then anything you can watch on Disney Plus is fine.

    If you're in the US limit your shows and movies to anything available on Disney Plus that doesn't require a Hulu subscription in order to watch on Disney Plus.

    My top Disney shows are

    Hannah Montana

    Girl Meets World

    The Suite Life of Zach and Cody

    Shows like Sense 8

    I’m looking for a sexy show preferably sci-fi, but it doesn’t have to be. Preferably queer, but it doesn’t have to be.

    Sense 8 is my favorite show! It ran for 2 seasons but got a “movie” final episode to wrap most things up.

    You should check it out!

    Trigger warning there’s a lot of sex.

    Thank you for your suggestions!

    Can you recommend a good investigative thriller like Broadchurch?

    I have watched Sharp Objects( Didn't like it. Too slow and literally nothing happens) Chestnut Man( Quite liked it). I thought the first season of Broadchurch was quite good. Didn't watch the subsequent seasons. I have also watched Mindhunter, Bosch, Monk, Psych, The Mentalist, Top of the Lake etc.

    I am not a fan of mysteries that don't get solved in the end.

    Please suggest something with 1-3 seasons. Beyond that my attention deficit would kick in.

    Thanks in advance.
