Community (on peacock). It's streets ahead.
I tried it and I just couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
Same for me. I hated the first two episodes but by episode three I was ready for more. Not sure when it became my favorite show but it eventually happened.
I try to give things three episodes. Usually the first one or two have so much character/setting introduction that it takes three to really form an opinion.
Ted Lasso. It's one of the best TV shows to come out in years. Apple TV is easily worth the price just for Ted Lasso, but Foundation and For All Mankind were good too.
The Rookie and Shogun on Hulu. Fallout and Psych on Prime.
We enjoyed ted lasso. I'll check it the others. Thanks.
For anime, Frieren has been pretty good. About halfway through so far.
Try Diary of An Apothecary.
Netflix? Prime?
The instance I'm from is about anime.
I'll be honest, some of it can be off putting if you've not already apart of those circles. But I firmly believe that there's something for everyone, it's more of a medium than a genre.
Monster, Mushishi and Hunter x Hunter are great expectation busters.

Monster, not to be confused with Re:Monster. Please don't!
I've just started Star Trek The Next Generation for the first time. It holds up surprisingly well for a show from 1987.
One of the greatest television programs ever created. If you finish it and want more Deep Space Nine is even better. Voyager is good as well but a little more rough around the edges despite being shinier.
I disagree that DS9 is better. TNG generally maintained an episodic approach while DS9 switched into long seasonal arcs. I think it's reasonable to say it's preferencial. That said, Voyager gets better after they bring on Seven of Nine.
And if you're going to have access to Star Trek, check out Lower Decks. It's huge fun. Understanding the wall-to-wall references is a bonus but not required.
I disagree that DS9 is better
You’re wrong.
…check out Lower Decks. It’s huge fun.
You’re right.
If you enjoy sci-fi dramas then I highly recommend outer range on prime if you haven't already watched
I finished two episodes, and I really hope that the interesting part is going to start. So far almost everything has been about how Cowboys are tough, gruff, brooding, and loyal to their families above all else. A couple of SF elements, but those have been incidental.
I really hope that it's going to do more than just mining the cowboy mythology and showing how rugged individualism is superior to government and corporations.
We're watching it now. Enjoying it!
Tear along the dotted line
Hilda
Please, just do it.
I saw the troll movie for it, and had a blast.
It's a cartoon?
Yeah.
Very rarely is this formula executed in such a way that even people outside the target demographic can enjoy it.
It is. I watched it with my daughter when s1 came out, and it was well beyond just tolerable, which is the baseline for kids shows. Good story, well acted, great animations, good music.
Severance
That was good!
Second this. Severance is the only show I’ve ever watched that had me yelling at the TV by the end.
Clarksons farm. I do enjoy some farming content
I love that! Someone just told me to watch the Belushi weed farm show.
Travelers, if you're into sci-fi.
I loved that show. Any other time travel stuff you'd recommend? Shows or books.
Not really, I usually avoid time travel stuff because they usually fuck up the logic and I can see way too many inconsistencies.
Did you see Bodies? It was pretty good.
I didn't, thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out.
Mr Inbetween. The 8.7 on imdb is well earned.
Thanks. I'll check it out.
sex drive. way funnier than expected.
the mist, series or show are worth a watch
FROM. season 3 coming soon, 1 and 2 are so creepy and dark.
dark, German creepy/mystery show. really good
I'm thinking of ending things - cool movie, main actress is really good, had blonde kid from breaking bad, also good.
true detective season 1 or 4
Fargo, movie or series, both well done
Thanks.
We loved from. Can't wait for the next season.
Agree on true detective - 2 and 3 were fine, but nothing compared to 1 and 4!
The Princess Bride, silent movie comedies like Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplain, or nature docs are my go to sick watches
Thanks. I saw the princess bride recently in a theater with cary elwes q&a. Was super fun!
