Cartoon wise, I strongly recommend the netflix adaptation of She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power.

Babylon 5 and Farscape for live action, they've not bern mentioned yet either, I don't think.

Honestly I prefer watching a series a few years after it came out. Because if there’s one thing I hate today it’s that you may watch the first season when it come out only for the next to either be cancelled or be delayed, only coming out 2-3 years after the first one. At that point I have to watch the 1st season again just to remember the details of what happened. By waiting until multiple seasons come out or if the show ends I can watch it all in one go and have a coherent story (unless the writers just give up by season 3 LOL.

I guess FOMO makes us watch everything right when it comes out. Or if it’s a really really good show and I enjoy the premise I’ll of course watch it as I go but man the wait can be excruciating sometimes.

grimm, seems like a supernatural Replication, but only focused on the human/monster part of it, with some magic. with the cheesey monster transformation like SPN, but with a German lore twists though.

30 Rock. The classic.

I came across The Newsroom with Jeff Daniels and Olivia Munn. HBO 2012-14. Munn is a much better actor than the shitty roles she has had since, but the show predicted the corporate takeover of US media and the subsequent enshittification of news. Scarily accurate, and in fact was too optimistic because the current shit show is much worse than they predicted would happen and they gave the IQ of the American public far too much credit.

The Newsroom climate interview is something that, despite being from a fictional show, I have made a lot of people watch for how fucking accurate it is.

America is not the greatest country in the world

He breaks down the stats and is absolutely correct.

I spent a couple of months only watching Venture Bros in my free time and oh boy it was so fucking GOOD

[–] Polisheocket@lemmy.zip 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I wfh so this is gold when I find a good show that has multiple seasons and I can actually follow while working.

[–] JabbaTheThott@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Any recommendations? I'm in perpetual fear of running out of stuff I like in the cycle. Some shows have worn off on me too. I thought Hells Kitchen would be a staple (they're at 25 seasons) but it's just so much fucking yelling... Gets so old while working

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

castlevania, the 1st series. blood of zeus, but they netflix decided to end the series after 3. maybe dragonball Z, although they end series, and start new ones, but if you are looking for in-depth dialouge, acting this one isnt it.

AGENTS OF shields(marvel) pre-disney marvel shows were so good, and superior to Disney take over ones(disney+ shows are slop). fleshs out alot of inhuman/mutant powers better than x-men movies, plus it had a whole darkhold/ghost rider season too and not enshittified with the 8 episode per season, since this was before that.

Polaris(x-men) wouldve gotten a longer show if GIFTED WENT LONGER, disney pratically ruined alot of marvel shows.

[–] Polisheocket@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I’m a big Law in order person. Tracker on paramount, silo on apple plus, like cape fear on apple plus, ted lasso on apple plus, easy shows to watch. Silo was a little difficult since sifi can be tough to follow while working. For all man kind on apple plus. True detective on hbo. Just to name a few

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

i loved law and order , the og early seasons. not the post-chris meloni versions(they were so-so but not super good). i dont know about the other spinoffs, some of them are decent enough. LIKE CI, with vincent d'nofrio

[–] Polisheocket@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I like the older versions. SVU was ok early but got too dramatic as it went on

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

everyone know mariska hargitay got pretty tired of the show, she had to be paid a ton to come back. they shouldve just done spinoffs at that point.

[–] Polisheocket@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago

Wish they would have. But I have the choice not to watch. Don’t like the direction they went

There came a point where Starbuck annoyed me enough that I never returned to the show. I should probably finish it...

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

kinda wierd how they kept shoe-horning starbucks into the show for some reason. even katie sackoff said they dint know what to do with her and then turned her into an"angel/messenger"

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I much prefer a show that comes in, does it's thing, and fucks off again. Respect my time.

Stretching it out to a million seasons with a million episodes each just for archaic syndication purposes is a big no from me, dawg.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

bleach,naruto, went on forever. so did spn, by the end the leads were tired of the show, but the ever parasocial fans were upset. up until one of them tried to steal the spn genre for himself, and cause some drama. tried to make it up/look okay by putting them in the last season of the BOYZ.

[–] lordziv@lemmy.nz 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The Sopranos has 6 seasons, The Wire has 5. I think it's entirely possible to make a lengthy show if you write it that way from the start.

[–] PumpUpTheJam@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Personally I prefer short and sweet, which is probably why I like British shows as much as I do. Doubly so when it comes to comedies. Faulty Towers is arguably the best British sitcom ever made. 2 seasons. 12 episodes total.

I want to watch For All Mankind, but it almost feels like starting up a new hobby. Already 5 seasons, 50 episodes and it's still going...

Leave them wanting more.

The decision by Cleese and Booth to quit before a third series has often been lauded as it ensured the show's successful status would not be weakened with later, lower-quality work. Subsequently, it has inspired the makers of other shows to do likewise. Ricky Gervais [twat] and Stephen Merchant refused to make a third series of either The Office or Extras, citing Fawlty Towers' short lifespan.[47][48] Rik Mayall, Ben Elton and Lise Mayer, the writers behind The Young Ones, which also ran for only two series (each with six episodes), used this explanation as well. Victoria Wood also indicated this influenced her decision to limit dinnerladies to 16 episodes over two series.[49]

Time to rewatch The Wire again...

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 12 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Supernatural or Smallville for sure. Or Stargate sg1.

[–] kofe@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Supernatural I would've liked to end when it was originally planned with the 5th season. But I've heard it gets better with the 7th or 8th season. I just couldn't get through the 6th 😅

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Spn 1-5 was written by KRIPKE, it was considered golden age by fans, silver age(is 6, 8) 7 is very cringey, because it goes to deep into fans sexual fantasy about the actors(i believe some of the laters on also goes into the same thing but to a lesser extent). Leviathans were quite disappointing though. 9,10 was too much of a filler, despite the mark of cain. i think 11 was decent, because it added the "anti-god darkness". 12-14 were all filler, because the writers wanted to get JACK in the show asap, so they can set up the actor for life for acting gigs, the arch-nephilim(archangel x human hybrid makes him the strongest angel in existence, surpassing michael) was interesting twist though.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Yeah, there's that season where things get weird because of that but it gets better in later seasons again. I actually have the last season or last season and half pending to watch on my list just because I didn't want it to end, so I've been putting it on hold for years now.

Soul crushing when it ends on a major cliffhanger and you find out it was cancelled.

I'm a leaf in the wind, watch how I soar.

At least some get a movie to end it.

I just discovered Person of Interest a few weeks ago, and have been binge watching it. It's so good.
