Sick and feel like I’ve hit the end of Netflix, Prime, … Is there a community about what everyone is streaming/recommending?
People referencing Star Trek all the time when I moved over to Lemmy convinced me to start watching it and you really can’t go wrong. Throw on some TNG
Hey, I’ve just started with TNG today!
Hope you love it. It picks up a shit ton after season 2 so stay with it
Thanks! I searched watch, stream, series, … didn’t think of movies or tv.

• Shrinking on Apple TV
• Ted Lasso on Apple TV
• Acapulco on Apple TV
• Parks and Rec on Peacock
• Brooklyn 99 on Peacock
• The Office on Peacock
• Only Murders in the Building on Hulu
Any of these are for when you’re not feeling well physically or mentally.
I’d also throw in Justified, and Fallout. Neither is too challenging and are good shows to just enjoy.
If you’re looking for something a bit more intense you could go for Chernobyl, The Last of Us, The Boys, or House of the Dragon. I’d also recommend Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul if you missed either of those.
Some more fun defaults I go to are It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, South Park (I’d recommend starting with Season 4 if you’ve never watched it), Moral Orel, and Futurama.
I’d also recommend Legion and Wilfred if you’re looking for something a little weirder and more challenging.
Pretty much anything made by Michael Shur and Greg Daniels.
Dropout.tv is what I dropped Netflix for and I absolutely don’t regret it. They do Dimension 20 dnd shows as well as a number of comedy and skit shows. You can generally find a lot of the stuff on Youtube.
Seconded, much cheaper than Netflix as well. Game Changer is so good, some of the D20 is good (especially Abria’s (is that how you spell it) seasons), Breaking News is sometimes really good and sometimes whiffs hard for me.
I tend to subscribe for a couple of months and then cancel, something which the CEO recommends. Also recommends password sharing with friends. Also pays and treats workers well (according to their own advertising). Mainly left leaning outlook without being overtly political which I like.
Best money I’ve ever spent on a subscription, and they’re producing more and more content every month.
I’ll try it.
Severance
Second this. Severance is the only show I’ve ever watched that had me yelling at the TV by the end.
That was good!
Clarksons farm. I do enjoy some farming content
I love that! Someone just told me to watch the Belushi weed farm show.
I’ve just started Star Trek The Next Generation for the first time. It holds up surprisingly well for a show from 1987.
One of the greatest television programs ever created. If you finish it and want more Deep Space Nine is even better. Voyager is good as well but a little more rough around the edges despite being shinier.
I disagree that DS9 is better. TNG generally maintained an episodic approach while DS9 switched into long seasonal arcs. I think it’s reasonable to say it’s preferencial. That said, Voyager gets better after they bring on Seven of Nine.
And if you’re going to have access to Star Trek, check out Lower Decks. It’s huge fun. Understanding the wall-to-wall references is a bonus but not required.
I disagree that DS9 is better
You’re wrong.
…check out Lower Decks. It’s huge fun.
You’re right.
Travelers, if you’re into sci-fi.
I loved that show. Any other time travel stuff you’d recommend? Shows or books.
Not really, I usually avoid time travel stuff because they usually fuck up the logic and I can see way too many inconsistencies.
Did you see Bodies? It was pretty good.
I didn’t, thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out.
Hilda
Please, just do it.
I saw the troll movie for it, and had a blast.
It’s a cartoon?
It is. I watched it with my daughter when s1 came out, and it was well beyond just tolerable, which is the baseline for kids shows. Good story, well acted, great animations, good music.
Yeah.
Very rarely is this formula executed in such a way that even people outside the target demographic can enjoy it.
The Princess Bride, silent movie comedies like Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplain, or nature docs are my go to sick watches
Thanks. I saw the princess bride recently in a theater with cary elwes q&a. Was super fun!
If you like anime I recommend “To your eternity”
Not many shows both animated or live action make me express feelings (like outwardly I still feel happy and sad for the characters I just don’t show it) but that show made me cry a few times and also made feel really happy at times especially with the growth of the protagonist
Thanks. Sounds good!
Research self hosting a server. I had a lot of fun setting one up and downloading all the shows and movies I wanted to watch
“I’m hungry, what should I eat?”
“Start a farm”
What kind of response is this lol. I say this as someone who runs a jellyfin server. Some self hosted people seem so self satisfied with themselves
Ah I misread his post, I thought he was tired of Netflix and Prime
Respect for not getting defensive. Cheers
It’s been a long day haha, have a good one dude
Ted Lasso. It’s one of the best TV shows to come out in years. Apple TV is easily worth the price just for Ted Lasso, but Foundation and For All Mankind were good too.
The Rookie and Shogun on Hulu. Fallout and Psych on Prime.
We enjoyed ted lasso. I’ll check it the others. Thanks.
Mr Inbetween. The 8.7 on imdb is well earned.
Thanks. I’ll check it out.

Oh wow! I didn’t know season 2 of them was out! Thanks!
ETA - Them… I was thinking of From.
I watched the trailer for Sugar and it looks good. Starting that as soon as i finish Outer Range.
Tokyo Vice is one of the best shows I’ve seen in years. Defo worth checking out. Enjoy.
