What show do you recommend to watch?
(piefed.social)
Andor.
This. If I had to name 1 show that everyone should watch, it would be this.
The White Lotus. Great vacation show. Short, funny, watched it on vacation, helped the vibe was a good time.
Actually curious why a TV show?
Could watch some documentaries about your trip destination and be inspired to visit around?
Otherwise fallout.

I can’t belive nobody has recommended The Good Place yet. Only 53 episodes, just about 20 hours total, and an amazing series. You can watch the whole thing on a long enough trip and it’s an amazing ride. Do yourself a favour and don’t read up on it just go along for the ride.
Stargate SG1 - It's like Star Trek with machineguns.
FarScape - It's like Star Trek but the main cast are fugitives, there's lots of muppets, and watching it makes you feel like you're on drugs.
The Righteous Gemstones - Danny McBride made comedy farce about a horrible, vain, and stupid megachurch family.
Batman Beyond - Cyberpunk batman with an unparalleled intro sequence.
Jericho - Post apocalyptic show with a conspiracy mystery bent and heavy GWB GWOT flavor.
Kings - A sort of adaption of the story of King David in a modern setting.
I Ike Righteous Gemstones, but it's A LOT of Danny McBride. Aside from John Goodman, every actor is channeling Danny McBride through their line delivery and movement. It's like Danny McBride directed them by saying "Do it like THIS, exactly like this. Mimic my every inflection."
Yes.

The sopranos
Silicon valley , the IT crowd ... If you like tech
Its always sunny , seinfeld
Sense8
It's made by the same sisters who directed The Matrix and it's amazing. Just kinda weird wrap-up.
Netflix cancelled the show, and after fan backlash, they ended up greenlighting a finale. While the finale was pretty abrupt, it was better than nothing.
Really would have been my all time favourite if it didn't get fucked over.
It had enormous potential then just sort of ended in an orgy and…the world is Netflix
I’ll hate them forever for cancelling Santa Clarita Diet right when Fillion shows up
Drama - The Wire
Comedy - Arrested Development
Mystery - Twin Peaks
Those should keep you going a while 😁
My name is Earl
The Middle
Fallout
The Golden Girls (it's funny as hell, for real)
Gurren Lagan for the anime request. One of the best. Its only 1 season but it tells its story and ends.
Can't believe I haven't seen someone say Mr. Robot. My favorite show of all time. Opened my eyes to corporate greed for the first time. Can also buy a blu ray of it if you don't want to pay the subscription. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was pretty good Also second Andor (I haven't watched season 2 yet, but season 1 was a banger), Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul
You should watch season 2 of Andor!!!
I'm waiting until they make a disc of it. Should be sometime this year I hope.
Murderbot
Breaking Bad', Better Call Saul, Pluribus
The Wire
The different voices singing the same song for each season…👌
Got any preferred genres?
Wife wants anime and shows like the "Traitors".
I liked Altered Carbon and Ghibli.
The Expanse if you haven't seen it.
The Expanse if you like Altered Carbon
Ill give it a shot thanks!
It's pretty much perfect sci-fi.
IMO ends just before the books started get long in the tooth but that's maybe a spicy take to say I'm glad the tv series ended where it did.
You should watch LEXX too. The most underrated sci-fi as well, if you like to get weird with it.
What genre of anime? I'm obsessed with Frieren right now, it's a really good fantasy anime. And I'm also catching up on Jujutsu Kaisen atm, quite brutal with its themes, but I'm loving the story, can't wait to read this manga once I've caught up on the animated series and finished Claymore for the first time (I know I'm super late to read this one).
Not as intense as traitors but another great british game show is "Would I lie to you" (you're going to tell me now that you are british and that's it silly to explain it like a foreign concept, lol). The only other thing i remember watching that's competative in the same way as traitors is Race Across The World.
Some Anime shows I've loved: Romantic Killer (Netflix), The Disastrous Life of Saiki K* (was on netflix for a good while). Witch Watch is an okay anime i watched recently, sadly feels a bit unfinished but it's just that new.
- Would definitely recommend SpyXFamily - it appeals to all age groups - but I'm guessing you will have watched that.
Random reccommendations just because they're so good:
- Dropout TV, which is full of comedy and gameshows. (You can get a taste for it from their YouTube channel)
- Daredevil S1-3 (Disney+)
- Deutschland '83,'86,'89. (was on channel 4 iPlayer, don't know where else) & Slow Horses (Apple TV)
Another British comedy show that is really good is Taskmaster.
