TV Shows to Watch if You Liked...

I tried most of them, there's a lot. And my take-away was:

*I've seen more television shows than I thought possible. I've already watched a couple of seasons of various shows on those lists.

* Some of these shows don't really resemble the others that much making me wonder about the television critics selecting them..

Also, that I may want to try the following shows:

* Northern Rescue (which looks a bit like Virgin River meets Parenthood..)
Also only one season and not that many episodes - so bonus. I'm not good at committing to things at the moment. I've yet to make it past three to four seasons of anything on streaming this year.

* Dark (the German series) on Netflix (although it may give me a headache, but it's been rec'd to me to death now)

* Crazyhead - about two girls who see demons and are hunting them (either Netflix or Hulu)

* One Tree Hill - a weird soap opera with a touch of Beverly Hills 90210 on Hulu (but too many seasons...)

* The Good Witch (may be too sappy...we'll see)

* Kipo and the Wonderbeasts, Voltron reboot, Full Metal Alchemest, and The Dragon Prince

* Ozark (Amazon?)

* Penny Dreadful (Netflix)

* Clone Wars

* Altered Carbon (assuming it hasn't disappeared from Netflix)

* The Great Pottery Throwdown

But, considering I still have to see S2 His Dark Materials, the Undoing, The Expanse, The Crown, and finish She-Rah...I don't know.

I am however glad I stopped watching The 100, since it appears they killed off all of my favorite characters and took the show into really dark places. (I stopped midway through the fifth season, I think - the one directly after the AI season. Mainly because it just kept getting darker and more nihilistic and dystopian as it went, and I just couldn't any longer...)

Oh, finally? There's awful lot of television series on. They could stop filming all television shows right this minute - and we'd still have enough to make through the next five to six years...

I loved The 100 at one point, but after awhile it just gets to be straight up misery porn, which is too bad, because it had some great characters.

My mother loves The Good Witch, and I sometimes watch it with her, I would say that it is a very light and comforting show, it is basically life in a small town mixed with a tiny bit of magic. If you ever like watching Hallmark movies, or are just in the mood for something that is very light on the angst, than I would give that a go.

Had more or less the same reaction to the 100. Instead of being a show about a bunch of people struggling to figure out how to survive and problem solve, it turned into how many shocking ways can I kill, torture, and make my characters miserable - that the audience won't see coming? I thought, no. And stopped watching.

Yeah, that's kind of why I'm considering The Good Witch - for the light, comfort. Not heavy on the brain. But it may be too light and sappy for me - hard to know.

The first season of Altered Carbon is good, though a bit confusing at first. The second season is awful.

Okay, good to know. Watch S1, skip S2. This happens a lot with stuff on Netflix.

Yeah, I can't even count how many shows start off great and then just collapse.

ETA: The good thing is that the 2 Altered Carbon seasons are separate and distinct. There's no cliffhanger or anything like that.

Thanks for that link, bookmarked it to have a proper read through later!

As for The 100, that's about as far as I got with it. I do mean to go back to it but I keep being distracted by other shows.

Same - in regards to the 100, I kept meaning to get back to it, but mood and attention wandered.

Also not helped by the fact that they kept killing off my favorite characters. LOL!
