    Looking for recommendations for shows similar to how good season 1 of stranger things was…

    Season 1 of stranger things in my opinion is one of the best seasons of a tv show ever. I couldn’t stop watching it when I first saw it. Now every time I re-watch it I still can’t turn it off.

    Looking for similar shows like this that are known for being binge worthy I guess. Doesn’t necessarily have to be sci-fi.

    Serie without characters that make you quit watching

    May contain a spoiler

    I stated watching Ozark right now, and already 1 episode and 5 minutes of the 2nd one in and I googled if Wendy dies at the end. And lost interests finding out she doesnt

    So my question is. Is there a serie without disgustingly hateable female characters like Wendy in Ozark or Skylar in Breaking Bad ?

    Restaurant Makeovers

    Any good reality restaurant/bar that aren’t over dramatized? Like almost every kitchen is Gordon Ramsey dirtiest he’s ever encountered on Kitchen Nightmares, same for Bar Rescue. Do find the details of the remodel and new menu more interesting, which is often glazed over.

    A series that contains mystery and a large number of main characters

    I want a series that contains a lot of mystery, with the world and story expanding as the episodes progress, and a large number of deeply written main characters.

    Help me find a family friendly series without a lot of death, that’s not a kid show.

    My kiddo has a phobia of death. Occasionally the shows we watch can bring on a panic attack (last nights was from watching Brooklyn 99 and the mention of death a handful of times). Any shows out there similar to Modern Family or Full House that aren’t boring for adults to watch? Not looking for animated series. Not looking for kid shows.

    Looking for a light show to watch between study sessions

    I'm looking for a short (up to 30 minutes) series to watch during my breaks from studying. Something light but still engaging enough to keep me interested.

    To give an idea of what I’ve watched and enjoyed in this style:

    • The Big Bang Theory
    • How I Met Your Mother
    • That '70s Show
    • Modern Family
    • The Office
    • Two and a Half Men
    • Brooklyn Nine-Nine
    • Community
    • Rick and Morty

    I know Friends is an obvious suggestion, but I didn’t really click with it.

    Any recommendations?

    Shows With a Warm Color Pallet Set in a City?

    Sorry if it's a bit specific, but I'm looking for a show that has city streets, skyscrapers, city life, etc. I'm also interested in the "warmer" pallet shows. Some examples I can think of are

    Season 1 of You

    Girls (the setting is what kept me watching iah)

    Friends From College

    Season 3 of Westworld

    Boardwalk Empire

    Sex and the City

    Seasons 1/2 of Dear White People

    All of those examples really hit the nail on the head for the type of general color pallet I'd like, or the type of city setting I'm thinking of. Also I'm fine with only getting one of the two if it's also a good watch. I'm looking forward to any suggestions and recommendations, thanks in advance!

    What show should we watch while waiting for new Severance episodes?

    My boyfriend and I watched white lotus and severance together and loved both. We are looking for another show to binge watch. We both like the mystery aspect of these shows. He also really enjoyed the scenery in white lotus. We also tried industry and liked it ok, but fell off because we found it a little too depressing with not enough plot development (maybe because we work in finance so hits closer to home).

    Other shows I’ve watched individually and like: Succession, big little lies, little fires everywhere, the flight attendant, the morning show, newsroom, damages, veep (though he doesn’t like veep because he doesn’t like politics / understand the humor), house of cards, scandal, how to get away with murder, quantico, designated survivor, homeland, and arrested development. [Added: You]

    Let me know if you have any suggestions, thanks!

    Comedies with throwaway flashbacks

    I was just thinking about some of my favorite comedies and I realized most of them use 5-10 second flashbacks when characters are talking about something to illustrate their point.

    Something about the show actually going thru setting up a huge shoot with costumes and makeup to make the character look younger for a few seconds of footage just makes me laugh while appreciating the commitment to the bit.

    Some examples are like flashing back to Eleanor being a bad person in TGP, Tracy Jordan doing a crazy movie in 30 Rock, or Kimmy remembering stuff that happened to her when she was trapped in the cult.

    Anyone recommend a good show that has this kind of thing? Stuff like 30 Rock, Kimmy Schmidt, The Good Place, Don’t Trust the B, Girls5Eva, etc.

    Looking for TV Shows with outstanding dialogue

    Hi , currently watching season 6 of Mad Men , and I'm enjoying the hell out of it . This series made me realize how much i love well-written dialogue , every word , every sentence carries weight .

    I'm looking for similar series that have the qualities i described above .
    Series i've already seen an use as a reference for comparison .
    - The Wire
    - House of Cards
    - Deadwood
    - Succession
    - Sopranos

    Also watched : Suits , Mr.Robot , Ozark , Mindhunter , Mr.Inbetween but these didn't quite reach the same level for me as the ones above.

    I don't mind if there's no action or it's slower as long as the characters are talking and I enjoy it.

    It's important that I don't watch short series or one-season shows because they don't keep me engaged enough.

    Looking for military and spy shows like Homeland, the Lioness, the Unit, Jack Ryan.

    Hi,

    I’m looking for a new military or spy show. I really like Homeland, the Unit, Jack Ryan, the Lioness, and Reacher. I’ve seen the recruit and plan to watch the new season too. I did not like Black Doves or Night Agent, both were too slow.

    Edit to say I watched a few episodes of the Americans and found it to be too slow.

    Thanks

    Looking for Visually Stunning, Avant-Garde, Critically Acclaimed TV Shows (Any Language)

    Hey everyone,

    I’m on the hunt for TV series that are visually striking, bold, and boundary-pushing—something that feels cinematic, artistic, or just plain unique. I love shows that take creative risks, whether in their storytelling, structure, or visuals.

    Some of my favorites:

    • The Kingdom (Denmark) – Lars von Trier’s weird, unsettling hospital horror—totally bizarre but addictive.
    • Twin Peaks (All Seasons, USA) – From eerie small-town mystery to full-on surrealist nightmare.
    • Borgen (Denmark) – A masterclass in political drama with gorgeous cinematography.
    • I May Destroy You (UK) – Raw, experimental, and emotionally powerful storytelling.

    I’m open to any genre or language, as long as it feels fresh, visually stunning, or just unlike anything else. Would love to hear your recommendations! Can be any language! Thanks in advance.

    Is there a show where the plot builds up to a war or battle?

    Im looking for a show that really builds up to a battle or war against two factions. Something that really hypes this up and you become enthralled in the politics of it. Looking for something fast paced though and full of action.
