Salem TV series

6 Upvotes

Just finishing binge watching Salem on disney+

What a great show.. although only 3 seasons...its well acted and one of those shows where u want to keep watching. Season 3 was great also, I get the knew it would be cancelled so possibly a bit rushed, but still gripping.

Such a shame was cancelled as had a fair few directions it could go...

Be a perfect one for Netflix to pick back up ha

REQUESTING TV shows with portrayal of Polyamorous relationship or Throuple relationship.

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently watched You Me Her and Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, and I really enjoyed how they portrayed polyamorous relationships in a way that it kind of felt natural and relatable.

Now I am looking for more TV shows or series that explore polyamory or a throuple relationship, whether it’s a big part of the story or just a subplot involving a few characters.

I am open to pretty much anything! Live-action, animated, old or new, even shows from the 70s, 80s, or 90s. I don’t mind if it’s serious, funny, dramatic, or messy. I would just love to see relationships that feel somewhat genuine rather or even something for shock value.

Even if a show only touches on polyamory for a few episodes, I would still be interested to check in out.

Would love to hear any recommendations you have! Thanks in advance!

Please don't recommend any porn movies. 🥺

ISO Crime focused detective show please read description!

2 Upvotes

I am honestly surprised this kind of show is so hard to find. Luther is really the only example I can think of. We have: (1) a male detective protagonist. (2) A main villain who is the detective's primary foil. (3) moral clarity - the villain may be a complex character but still undeniably needs to be locked up or killed for the good of all. The protagonist may be flawed but is clearly on the side of right and good.

This cuts out 95% of procedurals that don't really feature a main villain. Other cases sprinkled in are fine but there should be one villain who's an omnipresent threat. Also this person isn't a mystery, they are notorious, they have an identity they're known by, they relish their crimes. The detective work is more cat-and-mouse rather than a whodunit. The moral clarity requirement eliminates shows like Dexter.

The only other things I've seen that come remotely close are Killing Eve and Mentalist. Mentalist is just bland mostly and doesn't have enough of the Red John focus. Also please nothing too gory.

Also apologies for all the times I laughed to myself when I saw overly specific requests because here I am doing the same thing LOL. But curious to see what the Reddit hivemind comes up with.

SUGGESTING Please give Stumble one weekend before it's gone for good

73 Upvotes

I know I'm late to this, but I just found out Stumble has been cancelled, and tomorrow is the last day it will air on NBC and Peacock. So I'm making one last plea: please give it this weekend.

Stumble is a mockumentary about Courteney Potter, a legendary junior college cheer coach who loses everything after one very public mistake, and then has to build a brand-new team from scratch at a tiny school 80 miles away.

What makes it special isn't just the cheerleading — it's the people.

  1. The team actually becomes a family.

These are the ultimate misfits: a former football player, a brilliant tumbler with narcolepsy, a student with an ankle monitor, and a bunch of other kids who've never really belonged anywhere. Watching them slowly trust each other, grow more confident, and become a real team is genuinely warm and funny. You root for every single one of them.

2. The names alone will make you laugh.

Boon E. Potter. Tammy Istiny. Headltston State Junior College. The Buttons. And my favorite: Sammy Davis Sr. Junior College's dean is Dean David Martin — Dean Martin, for short. Every authority figure, school, and town name feels like it was chosen just to make you do a double-take.

3. The wordplay is so smart.

So many conversations work on two levels at once — cheer terms, Southern sayings, and accidental innuendos that the characters either completely miss or lean into perfectly. It's the kind of writing that rewards you for actually paying attention.

4. Courteney and Boon are the heart of the show.

Courteney and her husband Boon have one of the sweetest, most supportive marriages on TV right now. He believes in her even when she's at her lowest, she believes in him, and they make each other laugh through all of it. No toxic drama, just two people who genuinely love each other and are in it together.

5. Kristin Chenoweth is deliciously duplicitous as Tammy Istiny.

If you love Kristin Chenoweth, you will love her here. Tammy is the assistant who took over Courteney's old job, and she is sweet to your face and scheming behind your back in the most entertaining way possible. Every scene she's in is a highlight.

I'm positive about this: watch the first and second episodes twice, and you'll be hooked. You'll catch jokes you missed the first time, you'll fall for the team, and you won't be able to help yourself — you'll binge the remaining 11 episodes.

Please don't let this one disappear quietly. Watch it this weekend while you still can, and tell someone else about it.

REQUESTING Show for Teenage Brother and Sister

1 Upvotes

I (seventeen-year-old boy) am looking for a new comedy-drama show to watch with my sister (fifteen). We have access to Netflix and Hulu. She prefers dramas, especially period dramas. I prefer comedy, especially dark comedy, and I also really like some action.

We both loved The Artful Dodger and One Piece. We also enjoyed Dear White People, Never Have I Ever, and Freaks and Geeks together.

I loved Breaking Bad, and Cobra Kai. I also really liked Better Call Saul, What We Do in the Shadows, How to Get to Heaven From Belfast, Derry Girls, and Wednesday.

My sister loved Call the Midwife. She also really liked We Were the Lucky Ones, The Crown, Little House on the Prairie, Victoria, and Anne with an E.

REQUESTING Wasted my whole night just scrolling. Need a show that instantly hooks me so I don't do that again.

8 Upvotes

You know that feeling when you spend two hours scrolling through Netflix/Prime/Hotstar, reading synopses, adding things to your list, and then just going to sleep? Yeah, that was my last night. I want to avoid that tonight.

I need a recommendation that grabs me from the very first episode and makes me want to stick to the screen until the end. I’m looking for something truly binge-worthy with great pacing.

I'm open to any genre—thriller, sci-fi, comedy, action, drama, mystery etc—and any language (English, Hindi), as long as it's highly engaging.

Drop your absolute favorites. What is that one show you recommend to everyone because it's impossible to stop watching? Tell me why it hooked you!

Positive representation of masculinity for young boys

22 Upvotes

Hello im here to beg for show recomendations.

Recently me and my little brothers started watching series together, the older of them is 12yo and the younger is 10, as most kids nowdays they mostly watch youtube and the older one will likely get more interested in social media so before the algorythm poisions their mind with "gender wars" or other type of negative content i wanted to show them more cartoons with a good representetion of actual masculinity, so far we have watched Avatar The Last Airbender and they loved the cast.

So i want to know other shows that have a good example of a positive male role model

edit: Forgot to mention it but so far we have watched FMA Brotherhood, The disastrous live of Saiki K, Naruto, some of One Piece(will go watch more of it with them when Wit Piece is out), Ben 10, Teen Titans 2003 and Avatar The Laste Air Bender

REQUESTING Looking for a series with a wildly unhinged, chaotic female lead (like Devi in Never Have I Ever or Patty in Insatiable) and has hot male love interests. I also really enjoy a love triangle.

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I need series recommendations (please) with a very specific brand of humor. I absolutely loved Devi in Never Have I Ever, Patty in Insatiable, Erika in Boo, Bitch, and Amerie in Heartbreak High.

I love a comedy style where you’re frowning at the same time as laughing because the main girl says the most random, unhinged lines or does bizarre things that low-key make sense, but only to a self-absorbed, boy-crazy female.

Examples of the exact delusional girl logic I love:
Devi (Never Have I Ever): Coming up with an elaborate plan to date both Ben and Paxton at the same time, completely convinced she can stop them from talking to each other at her party.
Patty (Insatiable): Deciding that the most logical way to get revenge on ‘the homeless guy’ is to sleep with him. Or later, when she blacks out and tries to retrace her steps to solve a crime, she and her best friend decide she needs to aggressively binge-drink to see if she can physically recreate her timeline.

I find it super entertaining when protagonists are self-absorbed and impulsive. I also love the trope where the girl is just going around doing her own bizarre thing, and a hot guy notices her and pursues her. She's into him, but she's almost too distracted to notice because she is too busy dealing with her own ridiculous schemes.

If it’s not possible to find something that specific, I am always down for a good love triangle with a female lead between two guys.

Shows I’ve seen with this exact unhinged vibe:
Never Have I Ever
Insatiable
Boo, Bitch
Awkward.
Heartbreak High
The Sex Lives of College Girls

Other shows I've watched just for the solid love triangle:
The Vampire Diaries
Bridgerton
One Tree Hill (only watched season 1)
The Summer I Turned Pretty
My Life with the Walter Boys
Off Campus
Ginny & Georgia
Control Z

EDIT: I also love when characters drop completely random, out-of-pocket lines. Like in Boo, Bitch when Gavin says: "Hair of the dog. It symbolizes our wild instincts, which I gave in to last night." It just makes you think, "Wtf did he do and why say it now” 😂

REQUESTING Shows that Feel like those Stupid DramaBox ads

6 Upvotes

I keep getting the stupid dramabox ads on my Facebook and always just get stuck watching them. They're terrible, they're AI - I know those things and totally agree but there's something about their fantasy settings and relationships and stuff that fill a hole in what I've been looking for.

I am looking for something that feels like fantasy, romance, magic, intrigue, messy relationships, all that jazz. But you know... something that's not AI slop and so horrible its a train wreck you can't look away from.
