More TV Show Recommendations
Added 2024-09-11 01:25:50 +0000 UTCHi Everyone! Last weeks poll winner was Steven Spielberg! We're going over suggestions and we can't wait to do another of his films.
For the next few weeks we wanted to gather input on future TV shows we should watch. This week we're asking you to drop your favorites shows in the comments, and then for next week's poll we'll gather them all up (along with previous recommendations) and have a massive poll to see what everyone is most interested in. We'll make it multiple vote too, so you won't have to choose just one. If you can, try and have your recommendations in by Sunday night, so we have some time to get them all organized.
Looking forward to reading everyone's suggestions!

2024-10-20 17:03:22 +0000 UTCFreaks and Geeks, 1 season. Teen Drama with a lot of adult themes. Fantastic cast that went on to do a bunch of other projects.

2024-09-24 00:18:03 +0000 UTCGonna come in with some scifi left fielders, or at least something that hasn't been reacted to for the nth time: 1) Dark Angel. Two seasons, 90s show from Fox in the US, and it was created by James Cameron though not showrun or anything. 2) Wild Palms. Early 90s, high budget, less than ten episodes, and just a really interesting miniseries. 3) Utopia (UK version ONLY). The only thing I will say, aside from do not read synopses, is that the cinematography is stunning.

2024-09-12 03:34:24 +0000 UTCOnly Murders In The Building (Disney+). Nice short episodes (under 40 mins) and only 10 eps per season.

2024-09-11 18:01:48 +0000 UTCI loved that show
James Hadden
2024-09-11 17:58:13 +0000 UTCThe genuinely sad part is that shows like Rosanne and Cosby cannot be watched anymore because the people who stared in them ended up being horrible. These were some significant programs, historically speaking.
Justin Frechette
2024-09-11 16:20:34 +0000 UTCI agree. It's the same with people who think The Office is racist. It shows they didn't watch past the second episode, and they miss the point that Michael is ignorant and he is never rewarded for it. The same is true for Al. Al says some harsh things but never wins—it's a well-written comedy. Same with All I the Family.
Justin Frechette
2024-09-11 16:03:53 +0000 UTCI agree with the sentiment that a MWC watch along probably isn't feasible or best for channel growth, even though I would love to see it. In regards to how it's aged, I think everything that is watched needs to be seen through the lenses of when it was made. But I understand your point, even though I feel it's unfortunate that people cannot separate the two. I personally hate when reaction channels feel the need to point out how certain scenes aren't okay or feel they have to defend watching something or if they laugh. A well written/acted scene can allow you to be entertained, regardless of how wrong the characters actions are. It's why we laugh at characters like Stifler or cheer on evil characters like Michael Meyers, Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, etc. I've always been able to watch Revenge of the Nerds for example and laugh, but recognize half of what they are doing is wrong and in real life I would admonish.

2024-09-11 14:57:30 +0000 UTCI LOVE Married with Children, but I'm not sure that show has aged well. It's gone the way of All in the Family and Cosby Show. They are interesting slices of society and culture and have significantly changed, but I think people would struggle to watch the entire series. I would be here for a complete reaction to Married, but I'm not sure it would benefit the channel's health. Interestingly, Married with Children is the show that saved FOX from going bankrupt, yet I think it would hurt this channel today if they were to cover all 11 seasons. I would say watch four good episodes and do a short reaction. That could be funny. The Sky Diving Santa and Bra shopping episode would be up there for me, along with the masculine feminist with Jerry Springer, which is the origin story of No MAAM. And the episode where Al falls in love with another man's husband. So good.
Justin Frechette
2024-09-11 14:43:25 +0000 UTCLots of good suggestions made already that I agree with. - The Shield is fantastic. - Sons of Anarchy was great for the first few 4 seasons and then lost it's way for the sake of shock value and pushing the envelope. - Succession is another fine piece of HBO television. Haunting of Hill House on Netflix feels like a must watch, especially with Halloween season approaching. Peaky Blinders is great. Cobra Kai is stupid fun, but you have to watch the Karate Kid movies before going in. Monk is a good clean comedy series with lots of heart. If y'all are willing to react to sitcoms, Seinfeld all the way! Coach and Married with Children are another couple of personal favorites.
Noah Vogt
2024-09-11 14:19:19 +0000 UTCThere is also a newer show on Netflix called "The Movies That Made Us." Please react to the episodes of the movies you have seen—for example, Alien, Ghostbusters, Die Hard and the rest.
Justin Frechette
2024-09-11 14:11:03 +0000 UTCThere have been many great TV Shows in history. Some haven't aged well, and some are just as good today as they were back then. One show I have watched from beginning to end, perhaps 50 times, will make you laugh and cry in the same 30-minute episode. A show from the 1970s and 80s that lasted 11 seasons is streaming on Disney+. I would consider this show, which has 14 Emmy awards, The Office of its time. I was only 3 when this show went off the air, and it remains in my top 5 best shows ever on TV. As of 2024, the final episode remains the most-watched single episode of any television series in U.S. history and is one of the most-watched single broadcasts in television history. It's up there with the Moon Landing. This show also takes place during a real-world event, even though the actual event only lasted two years and the show lasted 11 years. If you gave this a chance, you and your audience would fall in love with it, and I know I would love to watch the whole thing with you here on Patreon. It's a long shot that people will vote for this show since most of your viewers wouldn't even know it, but I would wager that if you gave this show a chance (three episodes), you wouldn't be able to stop. I think you should watch M.A.S.H. For the record, my top 5 are in no order. -M.A.S.H. -Star Trek TNG -The Office -Brooklyn Nine-Nine -Shameless

2024-09-11 06:58:56 +0000 UTCMy five recommendations: Stranger Things - 4 seasons, with the fifth and final coming soon. Seasons 1 thru 3 have 8 eps, and 4 has 9. If Steven King and Steven Spielberg collaborated on a show, you'd get this. Set in the 80s. Scary, but without being too scary. Beautiful special effects and music. The Walking Dead - 11 seasons of various lengths, completed series with a lot of spinoffs. Post apoc, but with definite horror vibes. Scary and gory, but I think you guys can handle it. Lots of excellent practical effects that hold up really well. The Handmaid's Tale - 5 seasons, 10 episodes each, with the 6'th and final coming soon. Dystopian. My favorite show of all time. Overlooked by reactors with not a lot of them doing it even though it's ridiculously popular. Off the charts cinematography, beautiful music, badass as hell heroine. Not scary, but very, very dark and super intense. Hard to watch in places, but the payoff is worth it. Cobra Kai - 5 completed seasons, 10 eps each. The 6'th and final season is coming out now in three parts. 15 eps total for season 6, with the first five out now, the second five coming in November, and the final five coming out next year. Most episodes are only half an hour long, so you can do multiple episodes at once. But, this show takes some explaining. There are three original Karate Kid films, which you would need to see first. The first one is great, and a massive 80s classic. The second is good. The third isn't so good, but it's important to the show, and it's not terrible. The rest of the franchise is skippable and not essential to the show. This is mostly a light, fun show with plenty of great cheese, fantastic emotional payoffs, and some of the best fighting scenes you will ever see. Buffy The Vampire Slayer - 7 seasons that ran from late 90s to the early 2000s. Fantastic show that's had an influence on television so profound it's hard to describe to those who aren't of that time. Creepy and a little scary in places, but without ever getting too scary. Some problematic moments, but if you keep the time in mind, you'll love it. There is a movie that isn't necessary to the series, but you'll want to watch it at some point. This was my favorite show for a long time--until The Handmaid's Tale happened. I would be thrilled if you watched any of these, and I think you love them all.

❀
2024-09-11 06:01:31 +0000 UTCFor a mini-series, "Band of Brothers" might be the best thing ever produced for tv. The first season of "True Detective" is mindblowingly good. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are incredible. Each season is a completely different story and cast. "Peaky Blinders". "Sons of Anarchy". "West Wing" is a great one people forget about.

2024-09-11 05:44:36 +0000 UTC- The Wire - Mad Men - Halt And Catch Fire - The Americans - Fargo
Fernando Alamán
2024-09-11 05:37:49 +0000 UTCThe Wire is a show about the actual consequences of the drug trade; compared to Breaking Bad being the story of two men involved in the drug trade and how it destroys the people in their lives, The Wire is about how it destroys people, community, cities, systems... Each season of The Wire focuses on the systemic problems of one particular institution in American cities through the lens of the war on drugs, all taking place in Baltimore and being very much about Baltimore itself but relevant to every American (and I would guess Canadian) city. It does stay with a (very large) core cast of deeply developed and memorable characters that we see this decline of an American city through, but it isn't a character study like Breaking Bad, if anything the city of Baltimore is the central character.

TallTyrionLannister
2024-09-11 03:57:12 +0000 UTCI do worry a bit that the comedy is so subtle/layered that it doesn't necessary lend itself well to reactions. But I would still 100% suggest it even if not for the channel.
GhostCat
2024-09-11 03:32:20 +0000 UTCTaskmaster UK - 18 Series. It's a british comedy panel show available on Youtube OR What We Do In the Shadows. Could react to the movie first and then do the show.

2024-09-11 03:08:16 +0000 UTCArrested Development gets an upvote from me.
Kenton Kruger
2024-09-11 03:06:31 +0000 UTCBeen a few suggestions I like so far (WKRP, Haunting of Hill House, and Buffy specifically). I'll add The Good Place in the mix. Oh, even though the hype is long gone I'd say the might enjoy Squid Game. Not that they're likely to win any polls, but the not American shows I'd also suggest are Fawlty Towers or Red Dwarf from Britain, and Corner Gas from Canada. Corner Gas might be neat for them to kind of reverse things and introduce some Canadiana to an American audience.

Lesley and Zack
2024-09-11 02:52:10 +0000 UTCI cannot even begin to express how much I support this. You are right, nothing like it. One of the most complex and mind blowing shows ever with amazing casting. The dub isn’t too bad, but I definitely recommend watching in German.
Lesley and Zack
2024-09-11 02:51:22 +0000 UTCYes!!!!
Lesley and Zack
2024-09-11 02:49:13 +0000 UTCBand Of Brothers is about the only show l watch over multiple reaction channels, never get tired of new people experiencing that show. I do wish people would get more into some of the classic stuff from the 70s and 80s . I would love to see a reaction channel take on the original Twilight Zone series.
Robert Durant
2024-09-11 02:46:38 +0000 UTCThe Expanse. It started as a tabletop RPG, evolved into books written by the creators, and the show is an adaptation of several of the books. A lot of other great suggestions here too

2024-09-11 02:27:54 +0000 UTC"Bosch" series on Amazon Prime, about an L.A. homicide detective and Army veteran who won't let victims (often children) be forgotten if unsolved by others. Seven seasons but no need to react to all of them since each season deals with a different unsolved murder.

2024-09-11 02:21:21 +0000 UTCBut so long! How many seasons? I stopped counting after 16
mikethemotormouth
2024-09-11 02:17:44 +0000 UTCMy three TV recommendations will always be: For All Mankind: An alternate history where Russia lands on the Moon first and how it would change the course of world history for the next 50 years. Every season is better than the last. The budget is all on the screen and it has some of the best performances of the past 10 years. Halt and Catch Fire: an alternate history about the home computer boom of the 1980s in Texas and how it moved to Silicon Valley over the next 20 years. Incredible performances across the board. Every person in this show knocks it out of the park. Deadwood: HBO's best show IMHO. The history of the small town of Deadwood North Dakota during the cold rush after the civil war. This is DRAMA. It's all brilliant acting. 10/10 performances every single episode.

2024-09-11 02:14:51 +0000 UTCChernobyl on HBO was a great "series". It's only 5 episodes long, but great.

Wade Wallenstein
2024-09-11 01:47:07 +0000 UTCSons of Anarchy is a fantastic show that is often overlooked (by reactors and viewers alike) since it's "bikers" but its SO much more than that. It's actually loosely inspired by Hamlet too. Vikings (the original series not the sequel series Valhalla) was really good also. Black Mirror is a neat anthology series, some episodes and seasons are better than others due to the anthology style of course.
