TV Recs
Here are some tv shows I've enjoyed and would definitely recommend!
Filter:
If you haven't watched Doctor Who yet... What are you waiting for? It really is as amazing as everyone says! Make sure to start with the ninth doctor, though, don't skip him to get to David Tennant! My favorite doctors are 10 and 12, though I love every single one of them. God, this show has so much heart.
A great comedy with a cooky cast of characters. The queer romance between the main characters is the focus, and it's unbelievably well executed. This is one of the best shows of this decade so far, please watch it! Unfortunately it was cancelled after 2 seasons... I wonder why...
You've heard of this one, too, right? It's really good, especially Aziraphale (the angel) and Crowley (the demon). The runtime is quite short, so you have no excuse to not watch this! A third and final season will come out next year, I think.
What We Do In The Shadows
My rating: ★★★★½
Start Year: 2019
Genres: Comedy, Fantasy, Horror, Queer
Genuinely the funniest show I've ever seen. All of the main characters are absolutely amazing (and queer), too! You should watch this if you like vampires, queer characters, and silly silly jokes.
This show gave me brain worms 6 years ago and I'm still not over it. Super gorey, super queer, super quotable, super great show. Don't watch it if you're squeamish, otherwise go for it! It picks up quite fast after the first few episodes.
Yes, I fear I am a Nerd... But this show, I swear to god, it's so good. It's weird watching something THIS old, but it's interesting, and the show is genuinely good. The best thing about this are definitely the characters, especially Kirk, Spock and Bones. I love them sm.
You know I had to mention this one. Yes, I was one of the SPN girlies. This show has 15 long seasons, so it's quite a time investment, but you can start with the first 4 and then see if you want to continue. (Spoiler Alert: You will.) If you like dark urban fantasy and horror you will like this. The characters are also great!
Hands down one of the best shows I've ever seen, though the quality drops in the last season. But don't let that discourage you - If you haven't seen it, just watch it. It's so short (every season only has 3 long episodes), and it's so fucking good. Only con: it's queerbaitey!
I used to refuse to watch this because 'i hate kids'. Don't be like me. This show is worth all the hype, and it's just getting better with each season. If you like friendships, 80s vibes and monsters, watch it!
Avatar: The Last Airbender
My rating: ★★★★★
Start Year: 2005
Genres: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Adventure, Action
This is the best animated series ever created, and I don't think it will ever be dethroned. If you've been living under a rock and haven't seen this yet, just go ahead. Don't worry about it being 'childish', I promise even people who don't usually watch a lot of cartoons (like me) love this one. And it's not childish at all, it's hilarious AND deels with very serious topics like war.
This is the perfect balance between comedy and serious subject matters. It was the first medical show I was obsessed with, and I promise you you don't have to be interested in medical stuff to enjoy this a lot. Skip the last season, though.
This will have you on the edge of your seat. Don't just watch the first episode though: You will hate the characters and not want to continue. But you will grow to LOVE to hate these characters! There's lot of drama and cringefail dudes. I loved this so much more than I thought I would!
Here's my choice of medical drama. House's relationship with both Cuddy (his female boss) and Wilson (his male coworker) is insanity-inducing in the best way. Plus, he's really funny.
Fleabag is the quintessential female experience. It's also fucking hilarious. It's VERY short so you have no excuse not to watch it. There is a hot priest in it too! By the way, this is cringe comedy, but as someone who usually doesn't like cringe comedy I can tell you that that should not be a reason not to watch it, I PROMISE!
From the creator and star of Fleabag. This is only 2 hours long but very fun! Also, there are some awesome queer characters!
