Just watched the first episode of Half Man. I like the acting, especially from the younger counterparts, and it definitely keeps my attention. Some of the characters feel a little underdeveloped, I’m hoping that changes as the series goes along. It’s definitely wants you to feel uncomfortable and sympathy for these characters, and the writing along with the camera angling gets the results done. Though I do feel that one scene, imo, lingers longer than it is welcomed for. I enjoyed the first episode and I look forward to watching how this progresses. 7.5/10

**Beef** S02. Twenty minutes into the first episode I know this is gonna be gold.

My_Penbroke Apr 24, 2026 +2
I liked the first episode a lot. Got turned off by ep3. Tried it again and got turned off again by ep4. Hope your experience is different

Alles_Klar Apr 25, 2026 +1
Just so people know this is just a personal taste thing (fully valid, just dont want anyone to not watch thinking it is bad) - I really loved the whole season. Its different to S1, but on par i'd say.

mind sharing what put you off? just curious, I'm four episodes in and am absolutely loving it

I’d recommend Dark it's a german netflix show. It starts off kinda slow and confusing but then everything connects and you realize how well planned it is. It’s one of those shows where you actually have to pay attention or you’ll get lost. It’s honestly so good it’s hard to even describe properly without ruining it, like you just have to experience it yourself definitely worth it if you like mystery/time travel stuff.

netflixdark123 Apr 24, 2026 +2
12 Monkeys and Steins;Gate are also excellent and complex time travel shows with satisfying finales. If you give these shows a shot, then I'm sure you would love them. Especially, since you liked Dark.
2
Repulsive_Low812 Apr 24, 2026 +2
I’ve actually seen Steins Gate a while back and I loved it I still recommend it to people all the time. Definitely one of the best time travel stories out there. I haven’t seen 12 Monkeys yet though, but I’ll give it a try 👀

kaboomx Apr 24, 2026 +5
I agree! It's absolutely one of my favorite shows ever. 1899 is also from the same creators. It was building up to be just as good, but was cancelled :(

Repulsive_Low812 Apr 24, 2026 +3

I have fond memories of watching Roseanne in the 90s. I Wonder if it holds up but I imagine it would
2
ThatPancreatitisGuy Apr 24, 2026 +3
Can’t stand Roseanne (the person) but my love for John Goodman outweighs my antipathy toward her. I’d recommend it. I think from a cultural standpoint it’s worth watching too. The norm prior to Roseanne was to depict families that were comfortably middle class, polite, eloquent, etc. Roseanne depicts a world much more rooted in reality. I’d consider it along with Married With Children, Malcom in the Middle and a few others as important just for the cultural shift represented. Also it’s entertaining.

**DTF St. Louis**\- I was expecting an e***** comedy in the style of something like Rivals but instead got a harrowing character drama, absurdist comedy, fantastic acting/characters and a >!gut punch ending !<. I enjoyed it. **The Boys S5**\- Enjoying it better than S4 but the bar is subterranean. Sadly the recent episode was the weakest so far with confusing moves by the characters. >!Butcher could've killed a sick Homelander. Plus the weird Looney Tunes chase with Soldier Boy and Frenchie, SB could've just killed Frenchie and Quinn in one fell swoop.!!I need to practice sanity for someone!
2
ChalupaBatmanMc01 Apr 23, 2026 +3
> The Boys S5 First 3 episodes were really good but they did what I hate with final seasons with the new episode. It felt like a bottle episode where nothing happens instead of building up to the final episode. I hope it sticks the landing, there are only 4 episodes left.
3
sean_vkn Apr 24, 2026 +2
I agree I’m always disappointed when in a final season we know there’s so little of the show left but we get an episode that barely progresses the story and makes the plot seem thin. I think these types of episodes are for the budget too though.
2
121jigawatts Apr 23, 2026 +3
Finished Beef s2, started off ok but then I didnt like the ending. s1 was better so just watch that. Week to week the Boys, Invincible, Daredevil Next binge: the lowdown
3
Ra1dersrx Apr 23, 2026 +5
agree about S02 Beef. S01 casting and acting was far better. S02 seemed a bit cliche and similar to S01 where the final episode is just chaos. At this point I think Beef is Netflix version of White Lotus where they will just have different cast of characters every year and make a show that is entertaining but not masterful.

rambleer Apr 23, 2026 +1
Does anyone have any recommendations similar to the Les Lionesses (Cash Queens) on Netflix. Really enjoyed this series and love wacky, heist vibes. Really hoping it gets a second season
1
NoTransportation888 Apr 23, 2026 +3
Does Industry get any better? On S1E7, feels like a slog to watch ~60% of this. Really enjoy the stuff where they're at work and trading and the dynamics there, but the second they leave work this show falls off quickly imo. I saw someone describe it as "Euphoria meets Succession but is 80% Euphoria", and that seems pretty fair except its worse than both shows at those things
3
sean_vkn Apr 24, 2026 +1
It’s a show that’s kind of constantly reinventing itself each season, watching it weekly is great - not sure if I could binge it though. Season 4 was the best yet I think but it’s pretty far from what the show was in season 1.
1
Key-Experience-9769 Apr 23, 2026 +2
I finished all seasons and I’m still confused what I’ve watched.

TacosAndBoba Apr 23, 2026 +2
Other people will say yes, but imo no. I unfortunately listened to people saying season 2 and 3 get amazing but to me it only pissed me off more and more.
2
NoTransportation888 Apr 23, 2026 +3
Yeah... I think I'm just gonna take your word on it and stop. I thought I was finally getting to a point where I was interested in it a couple of episodes ago when Harper fucked up the trade currency and had to try to get out of the red, but it's been a drag since and was a drag before that. Thanks for the info
3
WickedDeviled Apr 23, 2026 +3
Everybody is just kind of an a****** in the show which I couldn't get passed
3
NoTransportation888 Apr 23, 2026 +2
I'm usually fine with shows that have a slate of assholes for characters (i.e., Succession), this show just seems like it's way more poorly written, and again, I loathe every scene where they aren't at work, and that seems to be > 50% of the show lol
2
MonolithJones Apr 23, 2026 +1
I finished **Big Mistakes** I enjoyed the last few episodes more than the rest of it. It sort of reminds me of Deli Boys, but nowhere near as fun, which is a shame because I like everyone involved here. With that said I would give a second season a shot. I also watched the first episode of **Sunny Nights**. This is another show about people getting in over their heads in the crime world. I’m a big Will Forte fan I’m a bit biased but I like this one so far. D'Arcy Carden is great as always and I love the dynamic between her and Forte’s sibling characters
1
LightThatIgnitesAll Apr 23, 2026 +4
**The Boys** That episode was trash. This show is a dumpster fire damn. 4 episodes to go. Jensen's acting feels like it's too good to be wasted in this I'l be real. >!Butcher sees Homelander in a weaken state (weaker than ever before) and decides to just walk away.!< >!They are trying too hard now to make us like Soldier Boy. This episode especially felt far too try hard about it.!< >!The Frenchie scenes of him getting Soldier Boy there and having him kill Quinn was so cartoony and cringe.!< >!Unlike other shows where the group begins to go against one another due to some external element influencing them this one has no tension, it just came and went.!< >!Ashley's gross relationships got old long ago.!< >!Ryan left so I'm sure we'll waste another episode having Butcher find him again.!< >!MM and Butcher being friends again felt weird and unearnt.!<
4
Rayearl Apr 23, 2026
Agree with every point you made. This show is just bad at this point but I'll finish it (like I'm sure a lot of others will) just because I've watched up to this point already. It's not a good show though.

waslotu Apr 23, 2026 +1
I started a Chinese drama called The Mirage recently. I wouldn’t say the acting is the main draw for me, but the structure is interesting — lots of foreshadowing, multiple threads, and it feels like the show is building toward something rather than just being random. Definitely more of a slow-burn mystery than an instantly gripping watch, but I can see why people stick with it.

magnomagna Apr 24, 2026 +1
Nirvana in Fire Watch this if you want a story with depth. It's about a strategist who schemes to get justice for his family.

n1ckkt Apr 23, 2026 +1
If you're interested in a slow-burn mystery/thriller, definitely check out The Bad Kids
1
waslotu Apr 23, 2026 +1
Yeah, I’ve heard The Bad Kids is really solid — especially when it comes to slow-burn tension. That’s actually part of why I got into The Mirage recently. It’s a different style, but it has that same feeling of something important building under the surface. Curious which one sticks the landing better in the end.

the__poseidon Apr 23, 2026 +8
Rooster - I just f****** love this show. I went it skeptic into it because I had some bad press. I don’t know why it got some bad press before it even came out, but this show just cracks me up and it is such a feel good show. Invincible - great as always. The Boys - same fun tropes but getting abut j can only be edged so much For All Mankind - jumped the shark Daredevil- loving it so far

**Bookish** and **Call the Midwife** (PBS) Bookish will fit in the viewing list of folks that like period murder/detective series and is suitable for family viewing. Call the Midwife is in its 15th season and there hasn’t been a bad episode yet. Although the baseline story is about a healthcare service for the underprivileged, I don’t think any show exceeds its honest treatment of social issues.

I have finally finished Justified Season 6 , the finale was a bit lacklustre imo and an anticlimax but it wrapped things up ok, definitely not peak Justified but kept me watching and I did enjoy it. Wasn't going to watch Primeval but it's only 8 episodes so there's no reason not to.

Man, I would kill for a good show with a serious archaeology theme. I tried to get into that Dan Brown series a few years ago, but it just wasn't very good.

veronicagh Apr 24, 2026 +1
Same! And I tried that too! Agree that it wasn't good, I didn't finish. I found a show called Blood & Treasure that looks interesting, but I can't find it streaming without having to pay for it to own it. Have you watched Timeless? Not exactly archeology, but I thought it was good!

**Euphoria** S3E1: Hilarious, wide-screen slice of 21st century Americana. Everyone and everything is just toxic to the senses. Two thumbs up.

thetatershaveeyes Apr 22, 2026 +8
The current Will Trent plotline is all kinds of nonsense. Melodramatic as hell. Maybe the writers think they need to jump the shark to hold people's attention, but they don't. Will Trent was good because of the quality of the storytelling and charismatic main cast. The actors are doing their best with what they have, but without them this show would be standard cop slop.

InourbtwotamI Apr 23, 2026 +2
It was so good up until this last season. It feels like the writers didn’t anticipate the show lasting this long and hadn’t thought ahead

Rewatching **The Leftovers** for the first time since my initial watch in the pandemic and it's somehow better. If you haven't heared of it, i envy you, if you're on the fense and haven't gotten to sit down and watch it, please do. The best show with the worst marketting ever, this is up there with Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Wire etc, genuinely, and most people have no idea it exists.

Finished **Daredevil: Born Again** season 1. I'm glad they rebooted production to be more in line with the Netflix Daredevil seasons. It actually felt more brutal at times. Excellent stuff. I'll start season 2 right away. **Invincible**. Episode 7 was pure cinema or TVinema. Animation team really made Thragg terrifying. I'm not sure I like Lee Pace as the voice though but that's maybe because it reminds me too much of his character in Foundation.

**Beef S2** is just as good as the first one, if not better. Really great dynamics between characters and the couples. The writing makes it hyper realistic in a way where it feels real and relatable. The characters are fleshed out well, and multi faceted. None of them are particularly good or bad, or likeable or unlikeable. It strikes a really good balance and keeps them interesting and evolving until the end, making for well executed arcs. The actors do a really good job, and it’s funny show too. It’s a lot like White Lotus, so if you like that you’ll enjoy this. **9.5/10**
13
whatifniki23 Apr 22, 2026 +5

Taskmaster S21. US viewers can watch on YouTube (all Series are on there).  This run features Kumail Nanjiani so US based posters have somebody they'll know alongside a UK based stand up, a writer who penned a massive HBO sitcom, a Welsh actress and the host for our version of cringy weird Korean import The Masked Singer

NotSwedishMac Apr 21, 2026 +13
Margot's Got Money problems seems to be moving way too slow in the first 3 episodes and I don't know what they've really offered that couldn't have been breezed through in the first fifteen minutes of the pilot. It's okay, not very convinced by Elle Fanning in this role. My main criticism for it is why it's shot / colour coded like a prestige gritty crime drama? It's so monotone, washed out, grey for a story that seems like it'd benefit from vibrant colour pops.

Ok-Character-3779 Apr 21, 2026 +7
I think I'm probably done now that I'm at the end of *Supernatural* s9. Glad I didn't cut out at the end of season 5, but I'm tired, boss. How many apocalypses can one timeline take?! I'll probably watch the "Scooby Doo" and "Baby" episodes and call it a day. Fun to see so many actors from *The X-Files* and *Harper's Island* (at least 11 for the latter). Running low on weekies since I only have Prime and Max for now. Catching up on *Hacks*, underwhelmed by *Euphoria* s 2 so far.
7
Ordinary_Ticket5856 Apr 21, 2026 +2
I came to this sublistnook because I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because very few people seem to be talking about how badly Euphoria jumped the shark. Haven't seen a series tank this hard after a really strong first couple seasons in a long time. Almost want to watch it trainwreck style, just to see how ridiculous it can get.
2
Ok-Character-3779 Apr 22, 2026 +1
I see more people complaining about season 2 in retrospect, but it feels like a 20/20 hindsight thing. The s3 reviews are mostly negative, but critics also only got access to the first 3 episodes. They're either protecting some huge twist, or that's a huge red flag. Maybe both.
1
Ordinary_Ticket5856 Apr 22, 2026 +1
I actually liked season 2 a lot. I like Euphoria in general which is why I'm so upset with how much worse it is now.
1
Ok-Character-3779 Apr 22, 2026 +2
There was definitely still a lot to like in season 2. Euphoria has always been a spectacle, but the characters also used to feel like real people--not just types. Here's hoping there's at least one more really good episode in season 3.

Usually agree with alot of things on this sub but For All Mankind seems to be very divisive here. I'm a really big fan, although I agree there are some flaws and missteps along the way storywise, its one of the most interesting shows ever put to screen with the budget to back it up. Joel Kinnaman kills it every season!

**Euphoria** 3x02 - visually the show is looking amazing. Plot/writing-wise still not on par with the great episodes of S1/S2, but it's getting there. I liked this episode already more than the first one of S3. 8.5/10. Priscilla Delgado's acting was incredible this episode! Also Eric Dane's!!

I am considering myself a genuine fan of the show, but not a maniacal r/Euphoria member, probably because i'm not a teenage girl so i get to enjoy all of it while completely understanding that to a degree it's well shot, well acted trash television, i love it and can't wait for every episode.

berlinbaer Apr 22, 2026 +2
agree. the premise is mostly ridiculous but also i'm kind of invested in most of the stories, so why not. acting across the board has gotten so atrocious though. sweeney had her highlights in s1 and s2 and is just so bad now, even elordi makes me kind of cringe when he is on screen. what happened?
2
Amazing-Heron-105 Apr 21, 2026 +2
Yeah I do miss the original setting and it being more grounded. This season feels completely fantastical with Rue running drugs for the cartel and becoming a manager of a strip club. Still enjoying it though. That aside the Euphoria sublistnook is bloody terrible. It's just full of parasocial weirdos.

RealPunyParker Apr 22, 2026 +1
Well, the original setting was highschool, when we're there, we're in the same pond in one way or another. People branch out drastically when they follow their own paths, not all your classmates work in an office building, some are dealing drugs, some make it big, and some do actually work in an office building.

Might be the best mix of shows I’ve had in months. Gotta love Emmy deadline season. **Invincible** - Last ep was exactly what I love about this show. No punches pulled and great twists. Can’t wait for the finale. **The Boys** - Great start, especially with how they handled >!A-Train’s death!<. At the same time, it’s definitely for the best that it’s the final season. **Hacks** - Really starting off strong, especially compared to last season, which took a little bit to get going. Have total faith they will stick the landing. **Euphoria** - Sam Levinson isn’t going to win any writing awards, but this show is never not interesting, it’s sneakily funny, and it’s shot better than 99% of TV. It’s appointment viewing just for the memes that pop up immediately after the episode drops. Next week looks bonkers, can’t wait. **Reservation Dogs** - About halfway through S2 now. Digging it a lot, it’s authentic in a way that reminds me often of Somebody Somewhere, where the characters feel like real people. **Smiling Friends** - Last 2 eps were hilarious as expected. Gonna miss this show, looking forward to what the creators do next. **Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku** - Honestly, only started this anime because I saw the opening on Twitter and it was a banger, but the characters are cool and it gives off major Dress-Up Darling vibes. Loving it. **Grand Blue Dreaming** - Probably the funniest anime I’ve watched so far, unhinged in the best ways. Trying to get to **Rooster**, **Jury Duty**, and maybe **Margo’s Got Money Troubles** once my schedule clears up a little.

Don't know what to make of Daredevil. It has some *great* bits but also too much focus on too many barely interesting side characters while the main story spins it's wheels. Maybe I'm just over Kingpin.

I'm a massive fan of the character, basically he and Spider-Man are the only ones i care about from Marvel and i have made the decision to just stop wanting it to be Netflix DD and just enjoy what i can from what it is now because they won't ever match the tone or groundedness of the original show on Disney+. Even the lighting is not the same, the og show felt like a "street crime drama with Daredevil in it" not a "Daredevil show"

All caught up on Invincible. While I have to admit that they did an amazing job with THAT scene in the recent episode (i read that part in the comics like 15 years ago and will forever be seared in my brain) I still stand by my many criticisms, mostly being how incredibly uneven this show is. It’s like they put all of their effort (and budget) into these enormous climactic scenes, at the cost of leaving the other 90% of the show feeling largely soulless.  I flipped through the comics yesterday to see if i was misremembering, but the difference in art quality is truly astounding. Every characters design in this show is basically an outline with the most bare details and an utter lack of definition and it leaves everything looking so flat.  And holy shit who is the music supervisor? If i have to hear one more American Apparel ass song during a montage I swear… Anyways I am grateful we got this show and i think it could have ended up much worse, but I can’t help but be nitpicky as huge fan of those comics. I don’t know if this will make sense (and if anything I am just showing my age here), but I get the same vibe watching this as I did Arcane in that it feels directly aimed at brocolli head zoomer kids who say things like “peak!” and “absolute cinema!!” lol

I am hoping one day a fan takes scissors to this show and makes a fanedit of 2-3 seasons that's tightly paced, and gets rid of the teenage melodrama, and people acting like idiots. There is a great show there buried underneath a bunch of fluff and garbage.
22
pun_Krawk Apr 22, 2026 +5
I assume the people who like From are people with an exceptionally high tolerance for bad acting and bad writing. The mystery of the storyline intrigued me, but after fast-forwarding through the out-of-nowhere drama of season 1, the story just can't be worth it.

Substantial-Tie6504 Apr 20, 2026 +4
Struggling to find a good drama show to watch. Tried Person of Interest and found it comically bad, tried Friday Night Lights (bored) and The Leftovers (also bored). Maybe it's me. I think I'll try Fringe or rewatch White Lotus

hipnosister Apr 24, 2026 +1
Person of Interest is not a drama, the first couple of seasons are a murder procedural with a scifi twist and then it turns into something else entirely. For drama try some period dramas. The Gilded Age Downton Abbey Pride and Prejudice (1995 BBC version is the one to watch) Poldark Outlander has some amazing action sequences but it is also a romance and has a lot of sex scenes throughout. TURN:Washington's Spies has a good mix of drama and action since it's about spies during the American revolution I've seen all the shows you listed below so we definitely have similar interests.

Have you watched peacocks "Ponies" or Netflix's "Dept Q"? We seem to have similar interests and I enjoyed both of those. The character Akram Salim in Dept Q might be the best character in television right now.

Started season 4 ep 1 of From but cannot remember some of the later episodes of season 3 so regrouping on my major rewatch Ive wanted to do anyhow. Lots of shit gets thrown at this show on here mainly the tiresome "when will anything get answered?" but that seems to be a huge part of the show. WTF is going on. Just like Lost was. I personally enjoy the unknown and guessing even if it's a tease for the answer at times.

totallydifferentguy9 Apr 20, 2026 +6
Its like they make it up along the way, I will give them big applause if they can wrap the story well, but it keeps growing wherever the wind going, so I doubt the can deliver satifying ending.

agamemoui Apr 20, 2026 +1
The question I ask myself is whether I trust the writer to provide satisfying answers to the mystery (Vince Gilligan) or do I suspect they're making it up as they go (Damon Lindelof). If it's the latter then it's hard to enjoy the show.
1
Disastrous_Wing7084 Apr 20, 2026 +10
Ironic that you would choose those examples, since Vince Gilligan famously makes up his plots as he goes along, much more than other writers do (for example after season 1 of Pluribus he said he still hasn't decided how to resolve that cliffhanger), but he gets away with it because what he comes up with is satisfying; whereas most of Lost was pre-planned right from the start but people assume it wasn't because of how many strange left turns the plot took
10
agamemoui Apr 23, 2026 +1
> but he gets away with it because what he comes up with is satisfying Well yea there you have it. Vince Gilligan has a demonstrated history of providing satisfying answers to his cliffhangers so I trust him to continue delivering. I do not trust Lindelof to deliver at all. Lost had a thematic ending pre-planned (light vs dark) but it left so much else unanswered because baiting the audience with those "left turns" was apparently more important than telling a cohesive and focused story. He did it again with The Leftovers, except this time he told people the show doesn't promise any answers because it wasn't about the mystery, it was about the people going through that experience. Lol. It's bad writing hiding behind fake profundity.

I'm almost done with my second rewatch in a row of **Community**. I'll probably watch it again once I'm finished, since it's a great "last show before bed" show. **Race Across the World** is one of my favorite shows. I love how on British reality TV the contestants generally help each other and are friendly with the other teams. Plus the locations they go are really interesting, and the camera teams seem to love catching footage of all the street cats (and sometimes dogs). **Great British Bake Off: Stand Up 2 Cancer** is fine. I had been on a quest to watch every English language version of GBBO, and I think in doing so I burnt myself out on the show. Looking forward to: **From** season 4 **Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee (AU)** is restarting in less than two weeks. **Taskmaster (AU)** is back in less than three weeks!

100% yep. The #1 rule of reality TV is nothing you see is real. A decade or more ago I used to be a really big fan of Big Brother, enough so that I bought that 24/7 live pass. Boy did that open my eyes to how different the show was from reality... and it ended up making me hate Big Brother. One of the people on the show was so racist and homophobic, but on the broadcast show they actually edited him to make him seem like a good guy.
