Discussion TV shows

[Greyhawk]

What are your favorite TV shows and why? Are there any that have given you hope for clinging to life or shows that have influenced you? Mine is probably game of thrones for the amount of good and complex characters it has and the themes that are explored in the show.

The amount of TV shows I have watched is very tiny but I have watched a few. Mainly kid's shows or the horror shows I watched with my best friend. I can definitely say tho that my favorite show is Bluey. I love Bluey so much and think its the best kid's show to exist cus of how childishly fun it is while still having substance. Its also therapeutic to watch good parent characters take care and entertain their children.

i dont think i've ever watched a show that gave me hope regarding suicide, but i have watched a movie that did. "everything everywhere all at once" grants me quite a bit of optimism every time i watch it. if you haven't watched it already, i'd recommend it a thousand times.

Vld. The writing for it starts to fall apart after season 3 and season 8 is awful yet I can't help but just love it. It's become a bit of a comfort show for me.

Bojack Horseman and NGE would both probably rank second for me in terms of my favourite TV shows.

Life on Mars (2006) is top of the top for me. the whole thing is a guy who's sent into a coma after an accident and finds himself in an internal recreation of 1970s manchester. each time that he starts adjusting to it there's some stark reminder that the world he's in isn't genuine and that he has to fight to get out of it... but fight what? that's what i love. there's an air of desperation through the whole show knowing 'this is wrong, get me the fuck out' and having no direction in which to focus that emotion into action. and it repeats again, adjust, remember, scream a little, submit, get nowhere, scream a little more. there's a lot more to it than that but that's the aspect i remember best and wanted to share.

it didn't really help me, in fact the ending maybe did the opposite for a while after, but every time i think about it i take some of that visceral discomfort and it helps me to make plans and take actions which i otherwise would have let myself forget about again until the next month's jolt of life

My favorite TV show is 'Friends.' I love it because of the humor and the chemistry between the characters.

I really enjoy anime in general, especially Naruto. I have been fighting depression for over 10 years, and watching it gives me the strength to continue and inspires me to keep going.

I wouldn't say these series cured my depression, but I think they are quite entertaining and worth watching:

• The Office (the original, the British one)
• The Sinner (thriller, I'd recommend seasons 1 and 2)
• Black Mirror (not every episode but some of them are really good)
• Love, Death & Robots (another sci-fi anthology series like Black Mirror)
• Mindhunter (this is a thriller based on the actual story of how the field of criminal psychology was originated, idk why it got cancelled bc I think it is really good)
• La Forêt (this is a french thriller, I don't quite remember it but I think I watched it entirely which is to say a lot tbh)
• Dark (german sci-fi thriller, seasons 1 and 2 were pretty solid... I think they sort of dropped the ball on season 3, so if you don't mind not having a closure it's a great concept)
• Severance (sci-fi, great concept, engaging... but the latest episode -S02E04- was a big flop for me so I hope they get it together for the next episode)

Those are the ones I can think of right now...

Twin Peaks is my favorite, and David Lynch is one of my favorite directors. I actually applied to go to film school with him last year.
Westworld is also amazing, with big budgets to create incredible sets and cinematography, sophisticated special effects, and large cast.
