Looking to binge a new show. Open to all genres. It doesn’t have to be a new show but I’m just looking to find one that I really can’t get enough of. Thanks :)

The first season of Altered Carbon is incredible. Season two is good, but doesn’t capture the spirit of the first.

The books are pretty sweet too

They're fun, but the author could certainly have more well-rounded descriptions of the female characters instead of "she had nice jugs and she was a lawyer"

Bro was horny.

You have to binge watch it just to keep track of what the hell is going on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

You sure do.

In the original German.

Ist alles in ordnum?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Sadly, this is one that must be watched in German. The English dubbing is absolutely terrible.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Really great show. I have a hard time describing it with ruining the show, but it's basically about a small town in Germany, where people basically grew up together. It follows the drama between them all, and how their actions reverberate throughout their history together. It gets hard tracking people because it shows a lot of people at different ages, so it compounds the number of faces you need to recall.the show I think is very good about clarifying by the end of an episode, I think. Don't read about it online because there's a lot to learn organically.

[–] Professorozone 2 points 1 month ago

That show is aptly named. The scenery is dark. The story is dark. The people are dark. EVERYTHING is dark.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Bojack Horseman.

I avoided it for years because I thought it would be a run of the mill "edgy" adult cartoon. My wife was out of town and I was looking for some second screen video while playing video games and checked it out.

I was immediately hooked and had to start over when she got home so we could watch it together.

A Man on the Inside to add another Michael Schur show. Not overly comedic like his other shows but still solid.

[–] njm1314 3 points 1 month ago

Man it's a good show. I just watched it the other day, tore right through it. Beautiful show. Michael Schur just knows what works for me.

Dexter is one of the few shows I have started and never bothered finishing.

[–] zergtoshi 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, if you leave out the last 10 minutes or so of the last episode of seson 8, it's one hell of a show.

[–] OBXDadLife 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Agree and a new young Dexter series just dropped, with Michael C. Hall as Harry

Omg I finished both the seasons on just 2 days in the weekend, loved it so much

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That season 2 episode 2 opening montage about the power vacuum was so good I just watched it on repeat for an hour.

[–] Zachariah 6 points 1 month ago

The screen where you try to pick what you’re gonna watch.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Last Kingdom. Multiple seasons and a movie to finish it all up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Think this is one of the few shows where I enjoyed the TV series more than the books

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I’m not smart enough to even read the books. Those names would mess me up haha

If you haven't watched the Rohl Dahl stuff directed by Wes Anderson, you should. I loved every single one of them.

[–] insaneinthemembrane 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I binged Superstore. At first I was meh about it but gave it another go and absolutely fell in love with it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Have you watched the spin off, Good Girls?

[–] insaneinthemembrane 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How was that a spin off? I did watch most if but lately lost interest.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They were laundering money through Cloud 9.

[–] insaneinthemembrane 1 points 1 month ago

That's all it takes to call it a spin off?

[–] Sumocat 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window. We turned it on in the afternoon to check out the first episode and wound up watching the whole thing that day. Only series we didn’t split out over days. It kept us enthralled because we started the show wondering “Wtf is this show?” and never got an answer. It’s not for everyone.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I now fill my wine glass aaaall the way up.

[–] insaneinthemembrane 4 points 1 month ago

Snowpiercer is great. It's not perfect but I really enjoyed it to the end. Some great characters and great scenes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I only watch netflix shows once a season 3 gets released.

I don't watch netflix shows

[–] thebigslime 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Wild, Wild Country. Docu-series on the Rajneeshis in Oregon during the 70s. My parents lived through the era in Oregon, so that helped draw me in, but it is good nonetheless.

[–] tiny_parking 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don’t get “into” shows on Netflix anymore. I wait a year or two to see if it gets cancelled first. Can’t wait to check out 3 body in 2026-27

[–] janonymous 3 points 1 month ago

Dungeon Food and 3-Body-Problem got me hooked immediately. Normally I wait before a season is complete, with those I couldn't.

[–] NegativeLookBehind 2 points 1 month ago

Warriors was fuckin awesome

[–] Nosavingthrow 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Teenage Bounty Hunters and it's fucking cancelled. Don't worry, though: We got two seasons of Chicago Party Aunt. That great show we all know and love.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Teenage Bounty Hunters was a such a great show!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah it hasn't been said yet!

The Dragon Prince is amazing. If you liked Avatar the Last Airbender, you'll almost certainly like The Dragon Prince. It's written largely by the same crew as AtLA, set in a new twist on the typical fantasy world, rendered in cel-shaded 3D.

The art style in the first season is a little rough around the edges, but there's still a LOT of really really good animation in it. The story and characters are really fun and appropriately dark at times.

This show does not get nearly the amount of love it deserves, which is a shame.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

A stupid horror piece called The Watcher.

The voice is done really well, lol. It's not particularly amazing, but if you're looking for scary stories it's alright

[–] Professorozone 1 points 1 month ago

Lupin.

I never remember what show is on what service. Also, it wasn't something "I couldn't stop watching" but I think it meets the spirit of the question. You're looking for something to watch. It's a French show dubbed into English, about a charismatic thief. It has Oceans 11 vibes. I liked it. I didn't love it. Either way, it's not a big investment of time. I think it is 3 seasons. Each season is only like 6 shows.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Both The 100 and Manifest. The first season of Manifest is good, and then it gets weird. I binged it just to finish it. But if you only watch the first season and pretend the rest does not exist it is good too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The Good Doctor.
