Looking for easy, feel-good shows to watch with my wife (loved Shrinking, Atypical, Modern Family)

44 Upvotes

My wife and I are tired of scrolling Netflix and not finding anything good, so I’m hoping you can help.

Shows we’ve loved: Shrinking, Atypical, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Modern Family, Kim’s Convenience. We also liked Suits and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, just a bit less.

What we like: warm, funny shows with real heart, usually built around a family or a close group of people. We like a good laugh followed by an emotional moment. Easy to watch, not stressful.

What we’re avoiding: We’ve already watched the heavy stuff (GOT, Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Stranger Things), so we want something lighter now. No sci-fi, please.

Ted Lasso keeps coming up for people who liked Shrinking. Can I enjoy it if I know nothing about football?

Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for a series that can hook me as much as You did—any recommendations? I started watching Hannibal, but I don't understand why it isn't catching on with me.

TV Series Recommendation: I Will Find You 🔎

11 Upvotes

If you're looking for a mystery thriller to binge-watch, I recommend I Will Find You! It has that kind of premise that makes you curious about what's really going on and keeps you wanting to uncover the truth.

Perfect for anyone who enjoys suspense, mysteries, unexpected twists, and stories where nothing is as simple as it seems. 👀

If you haven't checked it out yet, add it to your watchlist! 🍿

Tales From The Loop ♡

4 Upvotes

Let's Bring Back Tales from the Loop for Season 2!

I don't usually make posts like this, but I really want to try and get Amazon's attention.

Tales from the Loop is such a unique, beautiful series, and I genuinely believe it deserves another chance. I know it was cancelled due to insufficient viewership, but what if there's still an audience out there waiting to be heard? You dont always find new shows right away.. you discover shows that have 5 or 6 seasons.. you just didn't know it existed. But people know this exists now, and lots of us really want to see it. The show is such a rare thing, there aren't really many like it at all..

There are multiple Change.org petitions with thousands of signatures combined, and within my own server for autistic people, many members have expressed that they want a second season. The show's creator has also expressed interest in continuing it!

For me, this series is more than entertainment. As an autistic person, I find it incredibly comforting. Its atmosphere, music, and gentle pacing help me calm down when I'm experiencing sensory overload or having a difficult day. I know others find comfort in their favourite shows, too, and I'd love for more people to experience what makes this one so special.

I've even contacted Amazon customer service to ask them to reconsider, although I don't know whether my message will reach anyone who can make a difference.

So, can we come together and make our voices heard?

💙 Sign the existing petitions.

💙 Share this post and spread the word.

💙 Contact Amazon and let them know you'd watch a second season.

I'm not expecting one Reddit post to change everything, but if enough of us speak up, perhaps we can show Amazon that this series still matters.

Amazon, please give Tales from the Loop another chance. Some stories deserve to continue.

REQUESTING Looking for cozy autumn vibes TV shows 🍂

11 Upvotes

I'm currently watching Ghosts and I'm absolutely loving it!! It's exactly the kind of show I'm in the mood for right now

I'm looking for more TV shows that give off cozy autumn vibes think small towns, old houses, supernatural elements, ghosts, witches, beautiful fall scenery etc.

I especially love shows that are a little spooky or mysterious but still lighthearted, funny, and comforting, nothing too scary or depressing

Basically, I want something that feels like curling up under a blanket

I've seen Ghosts, Gilmore Girls, Pushing Daisies, the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Charmed and Ghost Whisperer

Any recommendations? Thanks!

REQUESTING For those who have seen the TV series Damages (2007)

16 Upvotes

1) I really enjoyed the first 3 seasons, but I didn't like the fourth one at all—I found it very forced and boring. Can you tell me if I should expect the same from the final season, or is it on par with the first few?

2) Do you have any other similar series that I might enjoy? I’m really into character-driven stories, complex dynamics, and—above all—plot twists, intrigue, and secrets. I’ve already seen the most well-known shows, such as *House of Cards*, *Breaking Bad*, *The Wire*, and so on. I was considering *The Lincoln Lawyer* or *The Good Fight*, but my issue is that courtroom trials tend to bore me; I much prefer the power games that happen behind the scenes. Do you have any recommendations? Both new and older series are fine.

  • Total Drama

I've also just started Attack on Titan, which is my first time really watching anime (unless you'd consider Naruto when I was like, 7 lol). But yeah, If anyone has similar taste and has any recs, PLEASE let me know. I'm dying here.

REQUESTING Non “mini” series show

26 Upvotes

I’m so tired of all the mini series being released. My husband and I love long multiple season shows.

Like, LOST, House of Cards, Handmaid’s Tale, the Diplomat, The Office, Parks and Rec, breaking bad, Shameless…just to name a few.

We’re not binge watchers. Maybe an episode or two a night. But we want something that will just engulf us in the characters and their world.

Whatcha got! TIA!

[IIL] A show like Rescue me, especially the ball busting humor and jokes [WEWIL]

7 Upvotes

I think Rescue Me was pretty unique in how it blended dark humor, especially the ball-busting and politically incorrect humor, with genuine drama. It's a style of humor that I'm not even sure exists much anymore, at least not in the same way.

I'd definitely be interested in hearing recommendations for other shows that capture something similar, even if they're older. What I'm particularly looking for is that natural back-and-forth between guys who constantly give each other a hard time, insult one another, and bust each other's balls, but still genuinely like each other, have each other's backs, and can work together when it matters.

I think what made Rescue Me stand out was how naturally that humor flowed into the drama. It didn't feel like the jokes were forced or that the characters were constantly trying to be funny. It just felt like the way those guys interacted with each other.

Ideally, I'd like something with that same combination of humor and drama, but I'm open to other genres, even sci-fi, if they capture that particular dynamic.

It's really more about the style of humor and the camaraderie than the setting itself. That mixture of relentless ball busting, genuine affection, and the ability to get serious when necessary is what I'm looking for.

Looking for a good murder mystery TV show to get hooked on. Any recommendations?

34 Upvotes

I feel like I’ve watched most of the popular ones already, including Only Murders in the Building, The Afterparty, The Residence, Sheep Detectives, and Seven Dials.

Also, 2010 Sherlock was peak television. It’s honestly unfortunate that no other version of Sherlock has managed to come close. 😭
Please recommend something that’ll actually keep me guessing!

SUGGESTING TV Show Recommendation: Dark, if you love shows that make you question everything

15 Upvotes

If you love mind-bending mysteries, time travel, complicated family connections, and plot twists that make you question everything you thought you understood, you NEED to watch Dark on Netflix.

This show is on another level. Every little detail matters, the timelines get complicated, and the characters are connected in ways you probably won't figure out right away. I love shows that make me stop and think, create theories, and try to piece everything together before the next revelation hits.

The best part is that it doesn't treat you like you need everything explained immediately. You have to pay attention and connect the dots yourself.

Just a warning: don't watch this while scrolling on your phone because you'll probably end up confused.

If you're into psychological mysteries, sci-fi, time travel, and stories that make your brain work overtime, give Dark a try. Go in as blind as possible!

Have you watched Dark? What other shows gave you that same mind-blowing experience?

REQUESTING Show with an extremely smart woman mc

148 Upvotes

I really want to know if there is a show, a good show hopefully that has an incredibly smart/witty female mc, someone just like Patrick Jane in The Mentalist or House Md or Sherlock etc.

There are so many series with a male genius that no one questions and i really do love watching those but i keep on wondering is there a show just like that but with a woman genius in the spotlight? I really crave for a show where a girl pulls all the answers from you know where and it magically makes sense lol

I’d be happy with any recommendation when it comes to genre - really anything from horror to kdramas ;pp (can be cartoons too but those for an older audience)

Edit: thanks to everyone that responded!!! I cannot physically reply to all of you but i really do appreciate every single reply and I’m currently fixing a watch list lets gooo

REQUESTING Shows like Young Royals or Arcane

2 Upvotes

I have a dillemaaaaa xd

So...this has been going on since forever so now I turn to the holy redditors for help 🙇

I really loved both of these shows! They both had their special traits (Arcane with the beautiful visuals and whole new fantasy world to discover, Young Royals with lots and lots of drama and scandalous twists), but in the end they were both similar in one way: how they were written.

Many different plots coming together in one BIG thing. So many strings getting knotted. Just this whole net that in the end makes this huge picture etc. I love itttttt

Nowww do yall know any other shows/or just films like this?

PS: aaanndd before yall come at me, I was really bored of heartstoppers xD sorry but it didn't work for me :))
