Our recuperating household needs a new bingeable show.
We loved Ted Lasso, Good Omens, Severance, Beforeigners, Lucifer and The Good Place, and the first season of Altered Carbon, but couldn't stand the second.
So all genres are on the table, but a general upbeatness or a mystery where the good/bad is clear is preferred.
Not keen on being asked to like terrible characters.
Texas has become a real-life Gilead as depicted in the dystopian TV drama "The Handmaid's Tale." If the other US states don't watch out, they will be next to go "Under His Eye."
@ottaross@DominickGalang I don't know if it's a change in the writing or a change in the audience though. 😉 I heard people complaining about filler episodes since the internet has been a thing (and at the time there actually were filler episodes in serialized shows as there had to be 22 episodes in a TV season.)
Also there are the case of people not liking it when things go fast. I don't understand people who complain about the pace of Games of Thrones last season. While it may have benefitted from one more episode maybe, people who talk about many more episodes, or even one more season talk nonsense. The only way to make that last chapter longer is more filler episodes. The pace had to be fast. It was part of the point.
For chars & setting I like a lot, I'd almost be fine with them doing nothing but sit around & chat, just to prolong our time with them – eg Ghosts (UK) is like that. With less engaging chars I need to see plot pace keep me engaged.
