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?
‘Ghosts’ on CBS/Paramount+ is sweet, funny, lighthearted for the subject matter, and overall very enjoyable. I don’t think it will win any awards, but its a great alternative to all the dark and cynical stuff out there!
Also try to catch the British iteration, after the first episode it’s an entirely different show!
