ghost in the shell, i couldnt understand that show for the longest time, until near the end of its life.

OG medical shows; ER predates house by like 10years, and went on like 12+seasons. only stopped at the later seasons, because house was better at that point.

The Simpsons comes to mind. There's usually a plot, but it's not too complicated and each episode is self contained for the most part. Seinfeld is similar with possibly less plot (it is a show about nothing after all).

early to mid simpson was golden, modernized version isnt tha tgood, and shouldve ended the show long time ago.

The Red Green Show

Easy-going comedy with minimal plot, mostly there to tie together an episode of shorter skits. Some Boomer humor, but not too cringe, I think.

Nichijou and High Maintenance are two that come to mind. Sort of opposite ends of the spectrum, but both are slice of life shows that are much more about vibes than plot.

Also if you like Home Movies then Dr Katz is a must

The Wire is one of the best tv shows ever made and it’s a slow burn especially in season one

If you're not opposed to anime: Frieren.

Totally chill, nothing complicated, hardly any plot arcs, pure bliss.

I watch King of the Hill if i need to slow down after a busy day

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories and Extraordinary Attorney Woo are the greatest tv shows ever created. There will be no discussion.

Breaking Bad was excruciatingly slow for me

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Tales from the Loop. I describe it as Eldritch Mundanity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This was a beautiful show!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's based on a art book that's very good. Electric State was based on a another book also by Simon Stålenhag.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

We do not acknowledge the existence of Netflix's The Electric State

Hey it looks good. That's the only good thing I can say about it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Letterkenny, maybe

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Lodge 49. Young guy joins a fictional group based on masons and other similar groups. It's a hanging with friends show with some plot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Love that one. Wish I could watch it again but i cut all the cords

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

“Welcome Back Kotter” is about remedial education class so probably that.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

Letterkenny. Mostly character driven
