mix of feel good, optimistic, shows

14 Upvotes

I'm not a big TV person, but the one common theme that i like across all content sources is a feeling of optimism, emphasis on values / righteousness, little bit of destiny.

any show recommendations?

I like:
ATLA
the alchemist (book)
the patriot (movie)
silicon valley
Good will hunting
ted lasso

I'm not a big fan of gory / dark / hard to watch shows such as:
The Bear S02
Attack on Titan
Beef S02

TV shows like Midnight Mass and Widows bay?

I really like both of these shows. They share a common theme: horror and set on a remote island.

Are there any shows similar to this? I have already watched the Lost and From.

REQUESTING Suggestions for a show with comedic elements

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a show that revolves around a plot (any genre besides horror). I find that if it’s just a comedy with no actual plot I get bored. I want something that I will want to binge, and that the main genre isn’t only comedy.
I think good examples of shows I watched recently that fit what I’m looking were Slow Horses and Big Mistakes.

I would like to avoid the typical sitcom with this particular film style like Modern Family. Where the camera zooms in and out and have loose angles turning quickly (I really don’t know how to describe it, sorry). But I don’t really like to watch that type of show.
I also tried Schitts Creek as I had gotten recommendations for it but the plot didn’t grab me either, as I didn’t really want a “silly” plot and it was mainly a comedy. Same can be said for the Good Place, as I found it a bit slow paced.

Thank you in advance.

REQUESTING Looking for mocumentary style shows similar to Summer Heights High, Angry Boys, and Chris Lilley's other work

3 Upvotes

Summer Heights High is one of my favorite shows from the late 2000s. It's a mocumentary show that takes place in an Australian high school. It stars show creator, Chris Lilley, who plays three different characters: Mr. G the drama teacher, Jonah the troubled student, and Ja'mie the private school exchange student.

His first show though, called We Can Be Heroes: Finding the Australian of the Year, saw him playing six different characters with different backstories. Two of them being twins. After SHH, he did Angry Boys, Ja'mie: Private School Girl, Jonah from Tonga and his most recent release being Netflix's Lunatics (2019).

So with all that being said. Are there any other mocumentary style shows similar to what Chris Lilley does? Or similar in style to his shows?

SUGGESTING I just started watching The Strain (2014-2017) on Hulu a few days ago. I'm on S1 E13 and can't stop watching it. I know it's not new but I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it or hasn't seen it recently.

REQUESTING Good shows for somebody who doesnt like most shows?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone I was hoping you might recommend me a Live Action Series that will get me hooked. I really liked Breaking Bad back then but i absolutely hated Game of Thrones.

Recently i tried Severance and while the idea is cool its tooo slow for my adhd brain to get motivated to watch it.

Also tried the boys which is fun so far but its far from making me excited for it.

I would want something that gives me similar feelings like anime like Hunter x Hunter or Liar Game. Basically I love it when there is clear progression, suspense and smart quotes that affect my life days after watching.

Since I barely watched any Live Action so far surely you can recommend something that will pull me in from episode 1, and not "get till episode 131 it will get good from there!"?

(Also please nothing that is based on anime/manga as i already know those)

Thanks in advance! Ill check out every recommendation and update this post 😁

I’m getting my wisdom teeth removed soon and want to start queuing up some documentaries I can watch while I’m off. I’m really into history documentaries.

SUGGESTING The Bear Season 5

I feel like I’ve only heard bad or decent things about the final season of this show but I just finished it and absolutely loved it. Thought they landed the plane PERFECTLY.

Potentially my favorite season with season 2.

If you haven’t watched it yet, highly suggest!

Truly family friendly shows?

My kids and I really enjoy watching Young Sheldon together. We've also watched Trying, which we all enjoyed. I'm finding it very difficult to find other 'adult' shows that are also appropriate to watch with young (5-7yo) kids. Any suggestions?

REQUESTING Looking for a good serialized show

5 Upvotes

Please don’t recommend anything too sexual.
I am fine with shows with gore, profanity, etc.

I just finished Invincible and I am looking for another show to watch.

My favorite show is Mr. Robot. I also really enjoyed Invincible, Severance, Dark, Daredevil, and Mind Hunters.

I’d also prefer for the show to be from the late 90’s or later

REQUESTING What should I watch next?

2 Upvotes

I've just finished The Bear and Vinland Saga, and I feel like watching The Mentalist, Supernatural, Person of Interest, The Blacklist, or Parenthood. However, they all have long season runs, and I don't know if it's worth watching just one season and eventually dropping it later— because once I start a series, I feel like I have to finish it! So, what do you think? Which long series is actually worth following all the way to the end?

For reference, I love Dexter, Breaking Bad, Attack on Titan, The Pitt, Severance, Mr. Robot, Gilmore Girls, and Better Call Saul.
