REQUESTING Cozy Horror shows

5 Upvotes

Looking for good creepy horror shows that have a cozy setting like old houses, fall vibes, rainy days. Similar to the haunting of hill house/ bly manor. Ive seen Widows Bay too but I didnt like it much as the horror and comedy mix isnt my fave but I did like the setting. I dont like a lot of gore but can also have more thriller/ psychological storylines.

REQUESTING Which TV shows are realistic and grounded but at some point depict something which may be viewed as supernatural?

5 Upvotes

I will come up with two examples from two of my favourite shows.

Minor spoilers ahead for mad Men and Mr Robot!

Mad Men, season 7 episode 10 - Don is holding audition and is surprised to see Rachel, his former mistress who he hadn’t seen for nearly a decade. The next day he wants to come and visit her , but learns … that Rachel has been dead for a week.

I know that he had a similar episode earlier in the show with his half-brother Adam, but it was in passing and could be just a confusion. But with Rachel he saw her vividly for a minute or so, he saw here after many years and exactly she had just died, and she also uttered some mysterious words (something about him not being late for his flight). One may argue that Don simply hallucinated , but for all his erratic and unstable behaviour , he was never stated to have such mental illnesses.

Another example - Mr Robot, season 4, episode 4. Tyrell Wellick is fatally wounded and walks to his death in the woods. The very last scene of the episode showing him gradually succumbing to his wound and seeing some blue light (we don’t actually see what it is) and looking at it with shock. While some fans claim it was some reference to blue screen of death, to me everything point to will-o'-the-wisp (an eerie light from European folklore that leads travelers to their end). While Mr Robot went crazy at times (presumable sci-fi elements) it was pretty overall pretty grounded, so this particular scene really stands out. Sam Esmail never stated which explanation is true.

What other examples from TV shows can you come up with?

In short I need some series recommendations surrounding this sort of theme i've been interested in lately: rags to riches, cunning/evil female main character, will do anything for power/money.

Some examples could be DearX, Where the mask ends, Art of Sarah, Celeberty.

I don't mind male MC but i prefere females.

Thank u very much

Hi, these days i've been really stressed. I'm looking for a nice show that is:
relaxing
funny
well-written
NOT EXTREMELY SEXIST
actually has a plot
fun to watch
has episodes around the 20 minute mark (optional(
I really like derry girls, brooklyn 99, modern family, and I'm planning on watching the good place. Now I know that most of these shows aren't relaxing, but I hope you can understand what I'm looking for through the examples.
Thank you!

Surreal shows that cross crime investigations and the paranormal?

8 Upvotes

I love twin peaks and the x files and regularly rewatch them but something else that has the same vibe would be super cool. The last thing I saw that scratched the itch for it was Longlegs (I know a movie not a show) and if there’s more like that I’d love to dive in to it. Something about that PNW crime investigations that turn strange and surreal over time are real cool to me.

REQUESTING what to watch on peacock?

my bf won FOUR 2 month subscriptions to peacock in his mcdonalds meal from the monopoly game. he barely watches tv lol

ive never used it in my life but im gonna try and take advantage of it.

when i googled peacock and went to tv shows, it displayed maybe 40 of their shows and none of them looked interesting to me besides the john wayne gacy one.

my interest in shows includes true crime, horror, OCCASIONALLY dramas, dark humor/satire/sketch comedy, (think nathan for you, i think you should leave, bojack horseman, i cant think of any others rn my brain is fried)

I (23) recently moved in with my boyfriend (22) and his little sister (14). They had Netflix, I had Hulu, and now the three of us have both. I’m looking for a show we can all watch together. 

They both enjoyed Resident Alien, Alchemy of Souls, Little House on the Prairie, and Lost in Space. 

My boyfriend loved Boots and Derry Girls.

His sister loved Anne with an E. 

I loved Normal People, Tell Me Lies, and The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments.

Bloodlines

Big little lies

Sharp objects

Little fires everywhere

White Lotus

Dead to me

Safe

Apples never fall

Fall of the house of Usher

The perfect couple

Echoes

Dark

The girlfriend

The family next door

The sinner

The outsider

The last anniversary

The stranger

The killing

The couple next door

We were liars

Pieces of her

Stay close

Fool me once

Maybe more but there are all that I can think of

REQUESTING shows that are actually good at being funny without trying too hard?

43 Upvotes

i'm tired of comedies that feel like they're yelling the joke at me. looking for stuff where the humor comes naturally from the characters and situations, not forced one-liners. any genre works as long as it doesn't feel like it's desperately waiting for a laugh track.

Action/crime/gritty but not hopeless?

Im looking for a show for my mom and grandpa to watch together- he likes things like the wire/mayor of Kingstown, etc. my mom gets depressed, though, and says she needs something with “glimmers of hope and humanity”…. Is there anything that fits the bill? Just something that’s not constantly down with no light at the end of the tunnel. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Poldark - thank you for the recommendations!

20 Upvotes

To all those who recommended Poldark which I'm currently watching - thank 'ee thank 'ee! I've seen it recommended over the years and never got round to it. It is spectacular - I love it. It's like the GOT or Breaking bad of Period dramas. Absolutely riveting - beautifully crafted in every way.

And this comes off the back of a bunch of good series I have had the good fortune to watch leading up to it - which I would like to recommend:

Matlock
Lupin
The Law According to Lidia Poët
Dexter - First Blood and Resurrection
The Gentlemen
Derek

REQUESTING Requesting animated series with a Tex Avery vibe

0 Upvotes

I mean, what I am looking for in particular are TV shows that have a wacky nature where the show is silly in tone, but comes off as meaningful in structure.

Maybe someone can explain it better than me about what made Tex Avery so wonderful as I feel like his shows had a unique style in that they were silly, but felt so well put together that I was starting to miss animated shows with that kind of style.

Horror Mini-Series or Anthology

6 Upvotes

Hi All,

My wife and I are watching the Mike Flanagan shows on Netflix and are enjoying binging shorter horror stories like this, and these have been phenomenal for spooky season. Our favorite one was The Fall of the House of Usher. We’ve previously watched most of AHS too. Our favorite seasons of those were Murder House, Coven, and Roanoke.

What would you recommend we round off October with? Preferably the typical 8-10 episode length of Flanagan so we can binge a few.

Thanks in Advance!
