I think costumes are the most underrated part of tv shows I’m watching Mrs. Maisel and it’s another great show that’s exceptional in this department, even someone like Suzie (Borstein) who’s not supposed to be glamorous like Maisel, it’s in its way perfect the way they dress her and adds to the contrast between them. I notice over the years most shows I like have good costumes. I always think about the…

Why is there so much time in between seasons of TV shows now? I remember pre-streaming when there would be 24 new episodes of a show every year, with less than a year between the end of one season and the start of the next. The show Lost is the first example that comes to mind. Now most shows are only 10 episodes or so and we have to wait 2-3 years in between seasons. What takes so long now? submitte…

The Talk Shows Have Labor Pains The Hollywood strikes and the trouble at “The Tonight Show” are a reminder that hosts are not just your TV friends. They’re also people’s bosses.

Shows you watch and you don’t know why Do you have a show like this? A show you watch but, if someone asked you why you watch it, you couldn’t really tell anyone? The Great North Only, like, 5 episodes are that notable; the vast majority of the show is just okay. Yet when it’s running new episodes I watch them the day after they premiere. My only explanation is that I tend to watch t…

TV shows that pleasantly surprised you Is there any show you expected to dislike and somehow ended up watching and liking? can be from any genre. Most recent for me is the US remake of BBC’s Ghosts, trailers made it look like an inferior carbon copy but the series itself is a really balanced blend of faithfulness and uniqueness, it honours the tone and basic characterisation while t…

i sometimes stop watching shows to stop myself from being disappointed, HAHA title! i just wanted to know if anyone else does this 😭😭 i’m watching suits for the first time and have reached the end of season 3 (if you know, you know) and knowing what happens in the next few seasons and knowing the major changes (some, undesirable) that occur makes me want to stop watching and essentially preserve the good memories i have …

Why are streaming shows much more downbeat and unhappy? Just in general this is very broad. I get all the advantages that come with having more creative freedom and being able to swear/show more gore/nudity, etc but that’s different from what I am saying. In modern streaming shows there are usually not moments like in X-Files or Star Trek: Next Gen where something is given a sense of happy closure or…

What shows are not as they seem? Idk if there are many shows that fit the bill, but I’m really interested to see if there are any shows that change (genre, theme) over time. Changes that are unexpected (especially when the show is deceptive to the viewer) are preferred. submitted by /u/Consistent_River_959

TV shows that I could binge watch? Hello, I am going through a rough time and need TV shows I could watch non-stop. My preferences: no fantasy, I really don’t like anything like Game of Thrones I like it when a tv show has a very cute couple that you can root for throughout the show. please give me suggestions, it would really make my days better. Thanks! submitted by /u…

Television shows/episodes you regret watching. I posted something similar in the movies subreddit but it got me thinking. Are there any television shows or episodes of television shows that affected you so much that you regret watching them. For example, something that was so disturbing you wish you did not see it. An example I have is an episode of The X-Files with the backwoods inbreeding…

TV Shows That Are Hit and Miss Are there any TV shows that are occasionally good or even really great for any reason and then there will just be a big flaw that’ll be hard to overlook? Housebroken Sometimes the show is pretty funny; other times the jokes are groan worthy. Also, as someone whose admittedly only seen the first 5 episodes, there’s WAY too much toilet humor. I ge…

What are your top 10 most consistent shows? Not the best, but the ones you consider the most consistent in quality. The tightest in terms of high quality and drop-off. Minimum 2 seasons.

Writing Therapy Shows Promise for PTSD A study of veterans with PTSD found that 30-minute supervised writing sessions were as effective as traditional talk therapy.

We’ll never see anything like ‘Riverdale’ again: “There are very few shows out there willing to take the risks that this one did, and there are even fewer networks and distributors willing to spend the money and time to let those shows last longer than a couple of seasons…” submitted by /u/WrestleQuest

The company today is launching subscription analytics tools that will show podcasters how many listeners started a free trial, the percentage of those who converted to…

Shows similar to Marianne (2019)? I love the horror genre, but the majority of movies and shows are just not scary to me at all. Netflix has had some fun horror series in the past, with Hill House and Midnight Mass remaining favorites of mine. But no television show has legitimately scared me like Marianne. The way the horror (especially in the first couple of episodes) develops…

Observation about Peacock Shows I can name five instances of shows on Peacock in the past couple of years where a dog or other animal is killed for the plot or a joke. Shot, stabbed, blown up, etc. I’m not sensitive to violence but don’t like the trend and as someone who watches way too much TV— cannot name another streamer/network with so much animal murder content. I won’t …

Are there any more ‘water cooler’ tv shows? What I mean is that certain shows in the past captured the pop culture discourse (e.g. Game of Thrones), and it was soemthing everyone seemed to be talking about. Are there any similar shows like that now? Any candidates? submitted by /u/portlandsmith

Shows with the best and worst cops? Best as in nice, hardworking cops who are great at their jobs and worst as in incompetent, corrupt cops who are terrible at their jobs. Here’s mine: Best: Criminal Minds and Rizzoli & Isles. I hadn’t seen a lot of episodes from either show, but the ones I did see show all of the cops, detectives, and other specialists working together and succee…

What are American’s perception of UK TV shows? Curious to know. Mainly thinking in terms of dramas, with a moderately high budget or bigger. I’ve seen many posts on here saying that from an American perspective, UK/(and also European TV) seems so much better made, and there’s more killer than filler. That BBC shows are better because they can take risks, as have guaranteed funding because of…
