I'm looking for good TV shows I can watch that don't require a large baseline of character and plot knowledge (something I can watch and enjoy right away. I'm currently homebound on disability insurance and am going insane. Wanted to binge watch something tonight...

Examples of shows I like:
Black Mirror
American Horror Story
Weeds
Breaking Bad
Arrested Development
Silicon Valley (before it turned to shit)
Archer
Family Guy

I feel like such a loser but I feel a need to spend hours engrossed in a TV show, thanks

Parks and Recreations maybe?

[Mr Meeseeks]

If you want something brain dead but enjoyable, I believe that Trailer Park Boys is pretty good

I highly recommend Dexter, I'm a massive fan of Breaking Bad and I've got to say I can't even tell which one is my favorite rn lol.

Captivating, bizzare, dramatic, the show will keep you on your toes and wanting to see what happens next constantly, good thing the whole series is on Netflix.


If you've already watched it then rip my response but I guess this also goes out to anyone looking for a great show to see.

As the previous post had mentioned, Dexter. If you're a Breaking Bad fan, you'll definitely like Dexter.

Prob the easiest show to get in to that does not take a huge learning curve would be Sesame Street. lol

Seriously though if you like weird Sci-fi shit, try Altered Carbon on Netflix.
The new lost in space is actually pretty decent too, slowly watching that one too.

By the order of the Peaky focking Blinders.

Twilight Zone is always a classic. Someone mentioned Parks and Rec; I second that. If you're in touch with your inner kid then I would suggest Are You Afraid Of The Dark, Goosebumps, etc. Dimension 404 is on Hulu and it's similar to Black Mirror as well. Finally, I'm going to suggest Workaholics. That show has so many golden moments.

Preacher is fun too ;) They are releasing a new episode from season 3 every sunday. It's a little f**k-up but in a very funny way ;)

[SoccerBet]

U should watch Shameless and I’m about to look Silicon Valley’ so can you tell me when it turns into shit please

[Shoto]

South park and American Dad? I think haha :p

[DooOmsDay]

Marvels The Punisher
Rick & Morty
Stranger Things
Big Bang Theory

[Punisher]

Watch a show called The Mentalist

It's about a man who is a con artist who grew up in carnivals who gets targeted by a serial killer, so he joins the FBI/CBI as a "psychic" consultant to track him down. Meanwhile he uses his skills as a con artist and social engineering to solve crimes and get what he wants.
There's a slight backstory that connects a few of the episodes together, but it's really enjoyable show to sit back and watch

Southpark is good
Also American dad

[RyBragger]

Rick & Morty is pretty good....
