Anything really, just no anime, cartoon stuff or reality shows. sci-fi and dramas are my favorite genres. I need help I am sooo bored lol.

 

[Marlog]

I love scifi too.

"Black Mirror". Did u watch the latest season?

I also enjoyed "love, sex and robots"

What about "ex machina" ? its a movie but a must watch if u like scifi imo. Best off if u dont watch anything about it and just dive in.

You’re excluding a lot of stuff, a lot of peak shows, but I’ve heard Community is good. I’ve also seen clips of Search Party and it seems to be a beloved show. These are both comedy. If you don’t mind youtube, roommates season 1 by that’s a bad idea is great (comedy). They also have a bunch of good short horror films. Most notable are The Chair and Milk & Serial (Milk & Serial is the longest they have on the channel, it’s around an hour, also my favorite but it’s somewhat slow), but I like all of their short horror films.

I don’t know what shows you’ve watched so I’ll just list some more. Comedy: Parks & Recreation (mock reality/comedy), The Office (same), Action/gritty/Drama: The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Black mirror(? it’s a mix of everything), Dexter (Very good show, drama with slight action), I’ve heard You is good, if you don’t mind korean shows Squid Games, Alice in Borderland, and All of Us are Dead are all good. I’d offer more but this is probably enough for now.

These are all great, I’d recommend each and every one of them. I don’t know your reasoning for not wanting to watch anime or cartoons or whatever but you’re really missing out. There’s some fantastic anime and cartoons for adults out there.

Battlestar Galactica from the early 2000s.

I recently stumbled upon Mobland it has Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and others it has a pretty stacked cast of actors.

It is a Psychological Drama, Crime, Drama.

Definitely worth a watch.

What about mini series? If so I would suggest trying this 90s mini series by the name of The Stand for a post-apocalypse + deadly epidemic. (The Movie Data Base )

Ah The Stand, ive been meaning to watch this but always putting it off. Ill start it today.

You’re excluding a lot of stuff, a lot of peak shows, but I’ve heard Community is good. I’ve also seen clips of Search Party and it seems to be a beloved show. These are both comedy.

I never could get into Dexter. Alice in borderland I've been curious about. Ill add it to my list.

Battlestar Galactica from the early 2000s.

Yes one of the all time best, along with SG-1.

I recently stumbled upon Mobland it has Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and others it has a pretty stacked cast of actors.

It is a Psychological Drama, Crime, Drama.

Definitely worth a watch

Ill add it to the list, ive seen it available just havent given it much thought. thanks bro


Thanks everyone for all the good suggestions

Go with the classics. Star Trek the original series for sci-fi drama, Columbo for detective stories, Monty Python for comedy, Twin Peaks for surreal drama.

If you can, try to watch Jeremiah or Jericho . Two of my fav pre/post apo serie. You also have Childhood's end. Then you might like a spanish serie called : Ministerio del tiempo. give it a try If you like historical serie, try Marco Polo ( About mongolian empire) or Queen Woo ( About joseon dynasty i think ). If you want zombie serie, try Kingdom ( Korean serie ), the classic TWD, but i prefer the korean style for the movie/serie and some like Train to Busan , #Alive or All of Us Are Dead are very good. watch them all and you will be ready for the next trilogy : 28 Days later / 28 Weeks Later and 28 Years Later.

Oh and i see many people give you some great sci fi show to watch but none give you one of the best : The Expanse.

 

[Freyr]

With today's political climate, watching Fauda is a must.

If you understand German and/or can find it with subtitles, then Babylon Berlin is also definitely worth watching.

 

[jram]

For sci-fi I would recommend The Expanse, giant space mystery opera, and for drama I would recommend Snowfall or Animal Kingdom. Snowfall is a hollywood take on how crack became a thing and Animal Kingdom is about a family of robbers. All series have at about 6 seasons I think.

 

[fthegovernment]

West World

it has 3 seasons

You ever watch Person of Interest? Great thriller series, with a dash of sci-fi.

 

[Deleted member 16904]

Series

Farscape (sci fi) my favourite.
Dark Matter (scifi) apple tv
Kingdom (drama/action) not the anime or korean zombies serie. But a MMA drama series.
Animal Kingdom (drama/action) I also reccomend
Outlander (more fantasy time travel)
Poldark (historical but, I like it overall)
The man in the highcastle (post-ww2 scifi)
Colony (scifi/drama) basicly a what if, aliens controlled the world.
Vikings (Historical/drama)
Supernatural (Drama/action)
The Mentalist (Drama)
Travelers (drama/scifi)
Altered Carbon (Scifi but only watch first season, second season is worthless trash.)
The Expanse (scifi drama) I also reccomend

These I watched years ago but liked.

Alphas (realistic super powers)
Beauty and the Beast (drama, scify esq super soldier serum basicly)
Being Human (apparently, British version is better but I only watched American )
The tomorrow people (super powers: liked it enough, but as been a long time)
Haven (drama/scifi)
Forever (drama)

Because of your post I refound Continuum (scifi series) which I will recheck out if it was something I liked. Thanks.

Movies

Arlington road
Fallen
Primal Fear
Seven years in tibet

Don't watch much anymore, more of a reader now. But these movies are on top of mind.

 

[Deleted member 162149]

Been rewatching Futurama after someone here suggested it, and its a great one to go back to.

 

[jaka]

I second Breaking Bad, and if you haven't yet, I recommend Peacemaker.

Farscape ?
its going on 30 years old soon. i used to love that show & tried watching it again & thought to myself.......

WTF WAS I THINKING IN THE 90's.

 

[ragglesnaggle]

i would say farscape, eureka, warehouse 13, the lost room (tv mini series), primeval, tin man (2007), the librarians, doctor who(1963-2017 after 2017 is just bad and ruins the show), being human(us version), the umbrella academy (first two season are good goes down hill for the 3rd and 4th but overall an ok watch) some movie would be demolition man, tremors, blade, robocop(1987), big trouble in little china, judge dredd, The Running Man,
