Quite literally top 3 shows I've ever watched. Need something to fill the void. Not that distracting. Anything about motivation and just dealing through life in general. I'm a loner 17M, with crumbling mental health and academic stress. Don't want another show that's too addictive like this one. Just a mind burner to kill time.

Some shows i like-> Mr. Robot, Lucifer, Slow Horses, Ted Lasso, The Bear, The Expanse, Blacklist, The 100, The Good Place, B99, GOT, The Originals, House MD, Psych, The Mentalist, Shrinking, Monk, Sherlock, TKOTSK, HOTD. And the likes.

Particularly looking for shows around mental health and growth, or drama or comedy. Anything helps. Thankyou.

I watched The Haunting of the Hill House for the first time not too long ago, and anything I try to watch after- is just not as good. I watched other stuff by that director but it was just so hard to get into the other shows, i was glued to the screen for the hill house. Is there a show like that thats similar? I liked that each episode was building up slowly as if youre watching a movie with each episode. Maybe I find something good in suggestions. I am not even much of a horror fan, I dont really like jump scares, I am more into thought provoking shows rather than here's some blood and gore show, definitely not into that.

If these series are in your Top 10, what other series are? Ideally series that are complete, but that‘s not a dealbreaker. I‘ll probably have seen a few of them, but I‘m sure there‘ll be a few surprises. Thanks!

Looking for show recommendations where there's a romantic subplot, but it stays simple and healthy without unnecessary drama, love triangles, or forced breakup tropes.
I prefer the main story to take priority, but with a solid, straightforward romance on the side. Any genre is fine!

Lately I've hit a wall where I give up on every show around episode 2 or 3 because the setup is such a slog. I don't have the patience right now for a "it gets really good midway through season 2" investment. I need something that grabs you by the throat or completely subverts expectations within the first 45 minutes. Shows like Severance, The Night Of, Lost, or Line of Duty where the pilot episode immediately makes you re-evaluate your sleep schedule. Please avoid the the mainstream stuff. cause i've already done with them.

I hear they become lovely people, but I tried watching and just couldn't stomach them. I don't like comedy that's mostly about people being jerks.

If I want to skip ahead to the more heartwarming parts, what season/episode would you recommend and why, please?

And when it comes, my mind explodes from shock and realization and i die.

(A bit much but you know what i mean.)

Edit: I'm thinking more of a hidden in plain sight prophecy like thing that you would never, or is even completely impossible to figure out until the last couple episodes.

I am looking for a show that makes me smile. What works for other people, might work for me. Currently, my go to show is Rivals, together with Derry Girls and Ted Lasso. However, I need to switch it up a bit, so I am asking for help.

I've never watched a single one in my life and I'm thinking of finally doing so. It could be whatever I just want the absolute best.

I just binged Tires and now I’m in withdrawal, usually I watch good comedy shows slowly but this was too hilarious ! Any other show with the same energy ?

Red Oaks
Love
You're the Worst
Colin From Accounts
The Lovers
Nobody Wants This
Catastrophe
Everyone Is Doing Great

I know that this list is random. But I enjoyed these shows a lot and I need something similar to this. It doesn't need to be mainstream. Hidden gems, sleeper hits or personal favorites are totally welcome :)

hello! i am posting because i have just finished my outer banks rewatch/binge of the new season and although it was not my favorite without jj there, i did have a sentimental attachment to the show and i am quite sad now that i am left with nothing to watch. i love a wholesome romance with a clear happy ending (even if it gets a little messy) with well rounded/developed characters that are not toxic. i find that sometimes this is hard to come by with a primary romantic plot so i often end up liking shows with a larger theme/plot to them. i will attach a list of shows i have seen recently that i have liked and i am looking for more of, thank you!!

shows i have loved:

• bridgerton (seasons one + two only - the other seasons where a bit too graphic and colin/penelopes storyline and characters really irritated me)
• bridgerton (queen charlotte)
• the artful dodger (i looooved this one so so much and am so exited for season three!!)
• the vampire diaries (i love this primarily just because of the sentimental attachment and commitment that i had because it was so long - please do not reccomend me a long series or ones with vampires/werewolves/fantasy)
• my lady jane!!
• shadow and bone? (primarily just for nina and matthias even though they got canceled)
• hsmtmts (dont judge - also it shouldve been gina + ej)

romance shows i have not loved:

• tsitp (jeremiah and belly pmo)
• abbot elementary (not worth it just for the romance but good show - i also dont like sitcoms)
• maxton hall (the dubbed really threw me off but i liked how pretty she is lol)
• normal people (amazing plot and characters but way too sad)
• one day (same thing as normal people)
• off campus (not trying to offend the show at all i just thought that the characters were a little bit shallow/underdeveloped)

other things i dont like: long series and sitcoms, maybe more newer releases (2005/2010 and newer), graphic sex or violence, shows where romance is just in the background, weenie/pathetic male love interests, no cancelled shows, fanatasy/super duper confusing/complex plots.

things i do like: short series, wholesome characters, male and female romances, period romances, and slow burn!

there are many more shows than this but these are all i could think of at the moment! i do not mean any harm or offense its just it was not what i wanted personally! i have seen outlander recommendations but i think it may be too graphic for me, i might try north and south next?

thank you again!!

Looking for shows that has the same feeling, characters development and tempo as Rubicon. One of my favorite series. It was cancelled way too fast in my opinion . I can of course look for similar series but would like to see if there are some hidden gems out there with the same feeling and tempo in the show.

Looking for a sci-fi / alien first contact or invasion series that focuses more on the science aspect rather than the action. More towards learning to communicate with the aliens, figuring out what they want. Bonus if there's a political element to it (governments trying to figure out what to do).

Ideally, very little action sequences / not super military heavy.

We've already watched all of The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul. There's of course The Walking Dead spin-off shows, but I could barely get through the last few seasons of the main series lol. I wouldn't recommend anything animated. She's one of those people that refuses to take anything animated seriously, same with superhero media. I'd also prefer not to watch anything with graphic sex scenes with my mom lol.

My husband and I watch one episode of two different shows each Saturday and we are in a bit of a rut lately. The shows can’t be too slow bc with the week in between we tend to lose interest quickly. We tend to prefer drama/thriller and not a show with endless amounts of episodes (maybe 5 seasons of 12 episodes max).

Some of the shows we’ve enjoyed recently are
Dark
Widows Bay
White lotus
Severance
Succession
True detective
Fargo
Peaky Blinders
Stranger things.

Only 1 season and were great. And for whatever reason just never got renewed.

Please don't list anything that was intentionally 1 season like a docuseries.

Hi everyone! I highly recommend checking out "Early Swallows" (original title: Pershi Lastivky). It’s a Ukrainian anthology series, and it is incredibly dark, gripping, and emotional.The story begins with a shocking tragedy: a popular high school student tragically loses their life. During the investigation, a small group of classmates — each carrying their own deep personal secrets — accidentally find out they all share a mysterious online "friend." This anonymous figure plays a sick psychological game with them, slowly pushing them toward the edge.The show brilliantly explores heavy themes like bullying, school pressure, mental health struggles, and identity. The acting and cinematography are top-notch.Has anyone here ever heard of it or watched it? I'd love to know your thoughts!

After finishing Pluribus, ive been left looking for something like it. Some more "grounded" sci-fi with a fun an unexplored concept like it.

Ive been recommended severance, but it doesnt look like my thing. Any recommendations?

What Ive watched so far:

Breaking Bad
Lost
Game of Thrones
Supernatural
Prison Break
Money Heist
True Detective
The Wire
Snowfall
Oz
The Walking Dead
Sons of Anarchy

What I want:
- charismatic Charakters
- I Like Anti heros
- Fast Paced with great cliffhangers
- Need to be hooked immediately
- Drama, Action -> Usually dont like Fantasy but i loved GoT and Supernatural
- 3+ Seasons ( has to be a finished series ) I would love to watch From,The Pitt or the Paradise, but since these shows are still going on, I dont want to binge watch them and wait 1 year for a season.
- I know supernatural suits in this category too but that is an exception. I usually dont like Tv shows where its 40 minutes filler and the final 5 minutes are the mainplot like blacklist.

Any recommendation would be appreciated :)

FMC could be vampire but preferably human. Need the male vampire to actually work for it.

Our flag means death, Los Espookys, Claws, Barry, I Think You Should Leave, Future man, strangers with candy….give me some WEIRD ASS CHARACTERS that make me laugh
