Sick and feel like I’ve hit the end of Netflix, Prime, … Is there a community about what everyone is streaming/recommending?

    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

    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.

      Best money I’ve ever spent on a subscription, and they’re producing more and more content every month.

    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!

      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.

    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

    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.

    If there’s something you want to watch, watch it. Otherwise shut off the TV.

      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.
