Recently I’ve been catching up on tv and some of the more mature/adult shows, which I’ve been…Enjoying? Seems like the wrong word, but they’ve all generally been cynical or dark.
For reference, I’ve just finished Better Call Saul, which got me to finally get around to finishing Breaking Bad, and I’ve also been doing a rewatch of the anime Monster as it’s been years since I last watched it.
So basically back to back dark shows.
I’ve already watched The Good Place, which nails what I’m describing, but it’s a little blunt with the sweetness, while I’ve watched some of Bee and Puppycat which seems like it’s closer to a nice middleground of sweet and real.
What are some of your go-to shows for this kinda vibe?
Scrubs
New Girl
Scrubs can get pretty heavy sometimes. Surprisingly so. The organ transplant episode comes to mind.
It’s worth listening to their podcast (fake doctors real friends). Zach and Donald rewatch it episode by episode and talk about the background of it. They also have a lot of other cast members as guests.
Lots of fun trivia in there.
Sounds like fun!
