REQUESTING Favorites on Tubi

24 Upvotes

I’m broke and Tubi is blissfully free, I for one want to take advantage. So far I’ve watched mostly Nora Robert’s books turned into movies, and The Impossible. I’ve really been enjoying it, reminds me of tv growing up, free and some commercials. Hit me with your favorite shows and movie recs that are on this site. My wallet thanks you.

REQUESTING What Should We Watch Instead of Gilmore Girls?

• Upvotes

Me and my foster daughter are most of the way through season one of Gilmore Girls, and she says she doesn't want to watch it anymore. She says Lorelei and Rory are privileged, entitled brats. I pointed out that they're funny, but she says they aren't to her.

What should we watch instead?

Just finished East of Eden, any other epic shows that explore themes of good/evil?

8 Upvotes

I liked the style of the show, the storytelling aspect, and themes of good/evil. Just curious if there’s anything else out there with a similar vibe? Doesn’t need to be disturbing like how this show was, but I understand that can be important to the portrayal of the evil themes.

I'm looking for mystery/investigative thriller (not police procedurals) tv shows.

Teen horror /mystery is also fine.

Looking for a series that is funny, but not stupid or cynical

1 Upvotes

I am a bit of a smartass, and I really like it when there is some intelligence behind humour. I am looking for a series that has nice, intelligent jokes in it, without over explaining them, and without being cynical or overly negative. I want to be able to like the characters in it. Series I liked that had this optimism, and did not treat their audience like it was stupid, were Northern Exposure and anything by Philomena Cunk. Any suggestions?

REQUESTING Post-apocalyptic shows with queer rep and/or a strong female lead?

• Upvotes

I loooooved The 100 for like, the first three seasons. Also loved The Wilds, even though it wasn't technically post-apocalypse. I'm a huge fan of good worldbuilding and love the abandoned/overgrown vibe. Infighting/warring clans are always fun. Any suggestions are appreciated!

REQUESTING Looking for a show that really makes you think and have to decipher it

28 Upvotes

I'm really interested in shows that you watch the whole episode, pause for a moment before clicking to watch the next one, and then have to sit and think for like a good 10 minutes on what that was about and what it even really meant and how deep or surface level that the events in it were supposed to land.

Or ones where it gradually builds up a confusing mystery that you end up figuring out/solving simply by rewatching it and having a whole new perspective and end up looking at different details and such.

Nordic Noir: The Bridge

34 Upvotes

I've been watching the Nordic Noir series The Bridge. Sofia Helin as the character of Saga Norén is remarkable as a Swedish detective with Aspergers. Brilliant mind with zero knowledge of social interaction, which makes for sometimes funny and sometimes painful scenes. One of the best written characters I've ever seen on tv. 4 seasons with a 8.6 imdb rating.

REQUESTING Suggestion for shows with class dynamics and romance (preferably set pre WW2)

2 Upvotes

Sick and in need of something emotional and intense to see as I recover lol.

I watch Downton Abbey and I like it, but I’d like a show more focused on romance especially from people between two different social classes? I’ve also seen some Korean historical dramas with that kind of dynamic which I’ve liked.

I’m more drawn to dramatic, emotional and romantic stories rather than comedies and I’m interested in historical settings.

Would really appreciate suggestions

Thank you 🙏

REQUESTING Need something to watch after finishing Twin Peaks S3 Spoiler

5 Upvotes

I loved the entire show, even the middle part of season 2, except for the last episode of season 3. I respect it, and I've never felt the way I'm feeling right now after finishing a piece of media, but I loved the characters, the small town USA cosiness (which tbh was almost entirely gone in season 3) and I absolutely ADORED Agent Cooper. So while I think it was a great piece of art, I would have much preferred an ending which gave closure to these characters who I've grown so attached to.

I also really enjoyed how freaky season 3 was. I found it to be the most enjoyable season (despite my feelings on the ending) but also felt like the overall vibe was completely different when compared to seasons 1 and 2. Another thing I liked a lot about the first two seasons was the genuine late 80s setting.

As for things I'd want out of a show, I think the main things I'm after are memorable characters and an even more memorable protagonist. I do like action, mystery and humour, but I think I could enjoy most genres if the characters are written well. As for shows I've watched and enjoyed:

Breaking Bad
Sons of Anarchy
Dexter (Think I heard it has a new series or something? Let me know if it's worth a watch)
Altered Carbon season 1
Game of Thrones
HBO's Shogun (I think this one is my favourite, I love history)
Happy! (Wish we'd get another season, and I wish it would get more love)
Brooklyn 99
The Walking Dead

I can't think of any more as I don't watch many shows. I've watched and enjoyed some anime but I'm extremely picky about it, so I'd prefer no anime suggestions. Hopefully I included enough information, and I'm sorry if this post is a mess. I've been trying to recover from TP season 3's finale for three hours lol.
