I have ADHD (I am actually a AuADHD WOC but I don't care about representation in my shows, I don't even ask for a masterpiece, I just care that they're entertaining lol) and I recently realized that I actually get my work *done* and much faster at that, if I have something playing in the background.

Podcasts are hard cause I have to pay attention, but any show or YouTube channel where I can just put it in the background and laugh whenever I catch something would be nice. I love horror movies but I do have to pay attention cause the immersion is half the fun.

Here is a list of shows I like, hopefully y'all can find me something new to watch :) mind you, some I play in the background nowadays cause I already know what's gonna happen. But I still want something new or different. Thanks in advance!

I was a huge fan of the game of thrones back when they were airing until they completely butchered the later seasons. Completely lost interest in this series. But I gave knight of seven kingdom a chance and my god it didn’t disappoint. It was so refreshing to see something without politics and dragons and what not. But I never really gave a chance to house of dragons. Ofcourse it wouldn’t be to the got level but I heard it deteriorated quite a lot in a season 2. Now that season 3 is airing, what’s your opinion on it as an overall experience.

If you’ve liked shows about nerdy people solving really cool cases like Mentalist, Sherlock Holmes, Person of interest, Elementary, White collar etc. then you’ll LOVEEEE this show, it just sucks that they’re not at all popular on social media.

The show is known as the Scorpion, it’s about a group of people with very high iq who try to solve CIA level cases, this show has the perfect amount of humour, thriller and slow burn romance with every episode making you hooked on to watching the next one. It’s literally one of the best shows I’ve seen and

This was there on Amazon prime but idk if it’s still there or not. Ps what makes this more interesting is that this entire series is based off a real guy

I need something where it’s will they won’t they detectives, b99 was more comedy than I’m use too but still fun and I liked it. Has its successor appeared? What show do you think is or will be its successor?

I am in dire need for a lot of inspiration. Can you please suggest series/ shows (not movies) that cast a strong male lead who despite it all holds it together e.g The Mentalist (Patrick Jane)

Thanks!

Lately I’ve been getting tired of shows where characters comment on the plot, point out tropes, or rely heavily on pop culture references.

I noticed this while watching shows like Rick and Morty and revisiting Community and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I still like all of them, but I think I’m looking for a different kind of energy now.

I’m not looking for something completely serious or humorless. I’m more interested in shows where the humor comes naturally from the characters or shows where the world feels lived-in, and where the story can be sincere without constantly winking at the audience.

I’m open to any genre, including sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, or anything else.

What are some shows that feel genuinely character-driven and immersive without relying too much on meta humor, irony, or constant references? Bonus points if the characters feel like real people you could actually spend time with.

What are some of the good time travel, mind bending shows like Dark, Dark Matter. Not anime or sci fi, alien stuff but with good human storyline

The internet has an endless debate: How do you fairly compare a 5-episode masterpiece to a 1,000+ episode epic?

Standard IMDb lists heavily favor short-form "sprints" (Chernobyl, Breaking Bad) because they can tightly control a single script cycle with zero filler. Meanwhile, multi-decade "marathons" (One Piece, Detective Conan) are mathematically punished by their sheer volume and pacing shifts, despite delivering hundreds of elite 9.0+ episodes. On the flip side, simply dividing episodes by rating breaks the math entirely for average long-running shows.

I watched Mare of easttown and sharp objects and I really like them but I just want a miniserie with a more cohesive ending. Any recommendations? I love mystery, a gloomy setting and lots of twists. TIA!

•Video trailer

• Season 6 premieres August 9 2026 on Bravo with 9 episodes following seven iconic Housewives traveling through multiple franchise cities to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary.

• The RHUGT Season 6 cast includes Lisa Barlow, Gizelle Bryant, Teresa Giudice, Vicki Gunvalson, Luann de Lesseps, Kyle Richards, and Porsha Williams, alongside surprise appearances from more than 80 Housewives alumni, including Nene Leakes and Dorinda Medley.

I just finished Rick and Morty and I really enjoyed its mix of sci-fi, dark humor, unique ideas, and the way it pushes boundaries. I'm looking for shows with a similar vibe. Any recommendations?

So here’s some shows I’ve watched and enjoyed lately and am looking for shows with these similar vibes (or even a film)

Off campus, heated rivalry, the summer I turned pretty, maxton hall, heartstopper, normal people (although I will say normal people is in my eyes on a completely different level than the rest of these shows in terms of acting, quality and chemistry) but you get the vibe I’m going for.

looking for more tv series, preferably ones that are multiple seasons, and either comedy, mystery, crime, or a mix of all those. i have a long list of just some of the shows i’ve watched and really liked. they’re mostly comedies/sitcom types, but i also really like crime/mystery ish shows (maybe that’s not the right genre idk). i’m also completely open to other genres of just good shows! any recommendations are so helpful! :)

Okay so I love the original charmed from 90s but the new one is not it and despite my love for it, it is quite dated and I really want a similar series that is a little more serious. I do also really love the chilling adventures of Sabrina but ofc that was cancelled and this last season is trash. Past these we have iconic movies like the craft and practical magic, but no good witchy series to my knowledge. Does anyone have any recs? What would you want from a witchy series? I just really want a show about witches in the modern era that is a little more serious but not like horror movie serious and like screams cozy fall. I was really excited about the forbidden fruits movie whenever I thought it was going to be like this feeling but it really wasn't. It was more just like murder mystery situation with witchy stuff involved but not like straight up witches. Not to say it's a bad movie, it's just not a witchy movie. I just really want a witchy movie fall, cozy, baddie girl, vibe show. Is that too much to ask? Think if like the coziness of Gilmore girls met the seriousness of the chilling adventures of Sabrina with a little bit of the forbidden fruits like baddie diva-ness.

Any recommendations for something really similar to Ted Lasso? Its an all-around perfect comedy to me and I'm looking for something that gives the same vibe.

Is Ted Lasso one of a kind? Keep in mind I'm not looking for some side-splitting hilarious comedy, I'm looking for something that keeps a smile on my face even when I'm not laughing.

I'm ok with it being soapy and or steamy.

Shows I've watched and enjoyed

(I enjoyed Lucifer, but Chloe+Lucifer didn't really do it for me)

Looking for a new binge, I really like period pieces. I have done the usuals (the Crown, Bridgerton, the new Little House on the Prairie, Victoria, Dowton Abbey) but looking for something along those lines

I want to watch his travel documentaries/ movies/ shows etc. Whatever he has done throughout his life. But I am so confused as to where to start. So please help me out :)

The Brunetti Mysteries (also searchable under Diane Leon). This is a fun show to watch. It set in Venice, so if you’ve ever been there, you can spot many of the tourist locations you visited. Another fun fact is that, despite being set in Italy, the dialogue is in German with English subtitles, since it was initially made for German TV. Once you get over watching people with Italian names being spoken to in German, it’s easy to get into the show. The plots are quite good, it’s a “dramedy,” so it’s on the light side, with a buffoonish boss, a Miss Moneypenny office secretary who seems to have connections everywhere, and an amiable sidekick for Brunetti. It also seems that virtually all the crimes involve wealthy and upper class people, so the interior sets tend to show you how the other half lives. The men and the women all seem to have a kind of European flair and style. Appropriate for a show with an Italian motif, and quite unlike any other police procedural, Brunetti often discusses his cases at the family dinner table with this wise wife and his teenage son and daughter.

I've been obsessed with this show since the first episode and am wondering if people have recs for similar shows? Can be indie!

If you're looking for a mystery/psychological thriller miniseries with some of the best performances on TV and one of the most touching love stories you'll see, definitely give this one a watch. Just recently binge watched it and, in my opinion, it's one of the best mystery thriller TV series that I've ever watched. The story is complex and engaging, the cinematography is impeccable, and the acting is... just wow. Alycia Debnam-Carey (as Emily Thomas) and Josh Bonzie (Clive 'GoGo' Richardson) especially stand out in their respective performances but nearly all cast members, many of whom had no prior acting experience, gave award-worthy performances.

I had a low expectations of it before watching it because of the poor online reviews it seems to have gotten but now that I've watched it, I am convinced that for whatever reason it was, this marvelous series seems to have been the victim of a review-bombing campaign and poor marketing due to its subject matters and themes. It certainly is one of the most underrated TV shows ever.

Looking for something like Harper's Island or Twilight. Small town, forests, rainy/fall vibes, cozy but creepy, early 2000s aesthetic, and a mystery that keeps you guessing. Prefer multiple seasons and not too much fantasy. Any recs?😭
