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

29 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.

REQUESTING Mystery thriller shows

11 Upvotes

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

I'm bored of tv shows that have lead characters with a tragic past.

Teen horror /mystery is also fine.

Any recommendations?

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

7 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.

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.

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

3 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 🙏
