White Lotus was amazing in this regard. I really got in to the whole vacation vibe of the whole show
Mad Men, Ozark, The West Wing are some of my favorites
Industry on HBO is a wild ride. No true protagonist which is fun.
💯
In my experience, it was more of a really fiery car crash. You don't want to keep watching, but something keeps your eyes glued to it.
You quit right before it got good. Season 3 is incredible
Industry is one of the best examples of a show that reinvented itself for Season 2. Season 1 was (and still is) hot garbage, but Season 2 it was heat. Season 3 too, although it falls off a bit towards the end.
I really wanted to like it but whenever I see unnecessary soft core porn as part of the script, I stop watching.
You want to unwind with more shows that'll remind you of what you do? lol
Right cuz I run a fucking hedge fund
Entourage by far. Pretty sure it was created purely to turn your brain off and enjoy
The first few seasons, gets pretty boring after that.
Always Sunny or Curb
These and Seinfeld + The Office
Always Sunny is exactly like Succession. Just replace “Manhattan elite” with “South Philly scumbags,” and “media empire” with “shitty bar.” Both are excellent shows.
Always Sunny is hilarious. Everyone should check the episode "The Gang Goes to a Water Park."
The vase one is my favorite
The D.E.N.N.I.S. System is a great episode to either get someone started on the show or terrify them to their core
I made a prompt through Video AI to combine Always Sunny and Curb and you wouldn’t believe how entertaining it is. It only produced one episode though.
Post it on YT and link here
Wait please post this somewhere I really need to see this. Also you should edit in some sort of studio intro at the start that says "Isaiah Originals" I think that would be funny.
Trailer Park Boys
I can literally feel my IQ dropping while watching Trailer Park Boys
smokes, let's go
30 Rock is underrated imo, and Parks & Rec is a classic if you like The Office, Curb, etc.
Yellowstone might be a bit overrated, but I really enjoyed it
The early seasons of Yellowstone were so good. Kinda dropped off after season 4 IMO.
100% agree. I stopped watching after szn 3
Mad Men, and Suits are great for people who work!
I actually did watch Suits, that one was great.
Tires is a nice turn your brain off show.
Black Mirror on Netflix is def one to check out
The Bear S2E6 in particular is a light hearted, fun little episode.
Some good ones are Entourage and Silicon Valley (also HBO) and are fairly light-hearted.
Surprisingly enough, and I may be in the minority here, but I was much more interested in the “finance” references in Silicon Valley than Succession.
Also recommending You (S1-2), Barry, and Dexter if you’re into partial crime/thriller dramas with some humor and romance sprinkled in
Also forgot to mention, but some of the British comedy series are great for simple humor.
In order of my enjoyment: Plebs (highly recommend), The Inbetweeners, Fresh Meat.
Wasn’t really a fan of Peep Show, but some episodes were funny.
ONE PIECE IS PEAK
Nothing like succession tho
South Park 200%
"Your Friends & Neighbors" is a really good one.
Only 1 season out right now but very entertaining
Top turn your brain off shows I've liked (mainly sitcoms)
Silicon Valley
Superstore
Parks and Rec
It's always sunny
Fringe
Seinfeld
New girl
Community
The office (kinda basic but it's popular for a reason)
House
Department Q on Netflix! Stay with it - builds with banger last few episodes!
Peaky blinders, Boardwalk Empire, Sopranos should get you through a few months.
Then honestly a rewatch of Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, game of thrones (you can drop it before the bad last season).
A few:
You use The Wire to unwind?? Wild
Shrinking on AppleTV
I feel there's generally a decline in series quality. I remember watching the usual suspects (Sopranos/Mad Men/Suite), but now can't find anything worth the time or remotely interesting
anyway, heard that True Detective might be good, but haven't checked it yet
1st season is amazing, 2nd season is alright (it gets a bad rep), 3rd season is good and the 4th season you can avoid.
True Detective S1 is phenomenal, might be one of the best single seasons I've ever watched. Matthew McConaughey's best acting.
That being said, I found it to be incredibly disturbing. Ditto on other comment, I heard similar. Taking a break from the show for now but might give Season 2 + 3 a try.
Nathan for you, the rehearsal, and how to with John Wilson
Some great shows I've watched over the past decade.
I just 100% recommend getting HBO MAX. Quality > Quantity versus the amount of garbage on Netflix. Excellent TV shows given that it was a premium channel for most of its life and thus its viewers demanded and got the best shows for the high subscription price.
Letterkenny is hysterical - the schtick (low-level wit and articulate wordplay delivered by hicks) doesn't really get old and I find the (admittedly highly exaggerated) eccentricity of the supporting characters increasingly entertaining as the series goes on. It's a different way to kill time to the examples given - effectively, there's no dramatic tension - but it's a lot of fun.
