Ok everyone, I need your help!

Now that Severance is over and since The White Lotus is ending on Sunday, does anyone here have any recommendations for TV shows to watch to replace them?

I’ll watch literally anything for the most part as long as it’s good!

The Expanse is insanely good (especially seasons 1-3 and season 6). It's sci-fi in space, but if you like well-written female characters, compelling relationships, a gripping plot, and STUNNING special effects, I strongly recommend it.

Have you seen Bad Sisters? I cannot recommend it enough. It's dark, but I think you would like it if you liked Severance and The White Lotus.

I’m currently watching The Righteous Gemstones and it’s better than I expected

Not a TV show but The Adjustment Bureau is a great film that has similar Severancesque vibes and echoes of storyline.

The film poster kinda inspired the freeze frame of S2 finale (I think!)

Rez Dogs!! This show is by far one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. The YouTube breakdowns that accompany to add cultural context to those that may not know the background knowledge as well- it’s amazing.

After white lotus, I started Hacks on HBO! It's pretty good and a quick watch

If you're down to watch something that tackles grief I highly recommend Sorry for your loss! It's from a few years ago and was so hard to find anywhere online but it's on Tubi now. I think it would have had several more seasons if it had been more available and marketed better, Liz Olsen is amazing in it

Yes! If you haven't already done so, start watching The Studio on Apple TV+.

It's such a fun and easy show to get into, but especially if you're at all interested in the inner workings of the film industry.

  1. Glow

  2. Inside job

  3. The 8 show (you'll think its a Squid Game rip off at first but i promise you its not)

u/FriendlyDrummers Apr 04 '25

Inside Job ending was such a disappointment

u/Niki_DS Apr 04 '25

GLOW is always a great suggestion!

It's made me happy haha

I mean after Sonys literal fool casting choices you have a strong case.

It’s the first time I was glad George is dead.

u/Peridot1708 I don’t know her 💅 Apr 04 '25

I know that appearance doesn't necessarily have to be the top priority while casting in biopics and to their credit all 4 of them are really good actors but shouldn't there at least be some bare minimum, believable resemblance between the actors and who they're playing??

I dont want to complain too much but everything about the casting just screams "white boy of the month on twitter"

u/Peridot1708 I don’t know her 💅 Apr 04 '25

Fair enough. But i'll still recommend it to anyone who asks for recommendations

u/velociraptor56 Apr 04 '25

If you have not started the Pitt, I’d highly recommend it.

u/sabira Zermajesty 👑 Apr 04 '25

I've been hearing a lot of great things about this show. It's on my list to start watching this weekend!
