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.

      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.

    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.

          You’re wrong.

          …check out Lower Decks. It’s huge fun.

          You’re right.

    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

    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.

        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.

    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 !
