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

      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.

          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.

    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 !

    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.
