People referencing Star Trek all the time when I moved over to Lemmy convinced me to start watching it and you really can't go wrong. Throw on some TNG
Hey, I've just started with TNG today!
Hope you love it. It picks up a shit ton after season 2 so stay with it
Thanks! I searched watch, stream, series, ... didn't think of movies or tv.
Don't use moviesandtv@lemmy.film, the entire instance closed down and that community's been abandoned.
Dropout.tv is what I dropped Netflix for and I absolutely don't regret it. They do Dimension 20 dnd shows as well as a number of comedy and skit shows. You can generally find a lot of the stuff on Youtube.
Seconded, much cheaper than Netflix as well. Game Changer is so good, some of the D20 is good (especially Abria's (is that how you spell it) seasons), Breaking News is sometimes really good and sometimes whiffs hard for me.
I tend to subscribe for a couple of months and then cancel, something which the CEO recommends. Also recommends password sharing with friends. Also pays and treats workers well (according to their own advertising). Mainly left leaning outlook without being overtly political which I like.
Severance
Second this. Severance is the only show I’ve ever watched that had me yelling at the TV by the end.
• Shrinking on Apple TV
• Ted Lasso on Apple TV
• Acapulco on Apple TV
• Parks and Rec on Peacock
• Brooklyn 99 on Peacock
• The Office on Peacock
• Only Murders in the Building on Hulu
Any of these are for when you’re not feeling well physically or mentally.
I’d also throw in Justified, and Fallout. Neither is too challenging and are good shows to just enjoy.
If you’re looking for something a bit more intense you could go for Chernobyl, The Last of Us, The Boys, or House of the Dragon. I’d also recommend Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul if you missed either of those.
Some more fun defaults I go to are It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, South Park (I’d recommend starting with Season 4 if you’ve never watched it), Moral Orel, and Futurama.
I’d also recommend Legion and Wilfred if you’re looking for something a little weirder and more challenging.
Pretty much anything made by Michael Shur and Greg Daniels.
Clarksons farm. I do enjoy some farming content
I love that! Someone just told me to watch the Belushi weed farm show.
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.
If you like anime I recommend “To your eternity”
Not many shows both animated or live action make me express feelings (like outwardly I still feel happy and sad for the characters I just don’t show it) but that show made me cry a few times and also made feel really happy at times especially with the growth of the protagonist
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!
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.
Hilda
Please, just do it.
It's a cartoon?
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.
Yeah.
Very rarely is this formula executed in such a way that even people outside the target demographic can enjoy it.
Oh wow! I didn't know season 2 of them was out! Thanks!
ETA - Them.... I was thinking of From.
I watched the trailer for Sugar and it looks good. Starting that as soon as i finish Outer Range.
Tokyo Vice is one of the best shows I've seen in years. Defo worth checking out. Enjoy.
I'm also looking for this community. You can try !cineserie!cineseries@jlai.lu the instance is mostly french speaking but english speaker are welcome.
Have you tried asian drama? There is some very interesting story there as well as very bad one, but the cultural difference makes it always interesting for the westerner eyes (assuming you are western).
I would recommend the korean drama "Psychopath Diary" a hectic and hilarious thriller/comedy about a man who learn he's a serial killer after losing its memory but finding back his murder diary, and the chinese drama "Reset" a fantasy fiction where the character are stuck in a bus in a timeloop, their is a bomb in the bus but every time they hop of it to try to find there way out of the time loop, the police want to interrogate them about the bomb.
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
If you enjoy sci-fi dramas then I highly recommend outer range on prime if you haven't already watched
We're watching it now. Enjoying it!
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.
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!
Same thing for me ! I'm currently watching the season 2 of Critical Role on YouTube. It's not a TV show but it's high quality show for sure. It's a standalone campaign of Dungeon & Dragon. It's so good and there are so many hours of content !
For anime, Frieren has been pretty good. About halfway through so far.
Try Diary of An Apothecary.
Better Call Saul!
Netflix? Prime?
