Quarantine bing watching suggestions

I've been watching NBC's The Blacklist the last few months, but I'm already about caught up on season 7. If you're into psychological thrillers or gangster/crime movies I highly suggest this show. I went into it thinking it was gonna be another "CSI: insert city here" type show, but it has some serious stand out appeal, and action. I might try to catch up on some anime after I've caught up with the blacklist. One Punch Man and a few others from toonami, and Nanatsu no Taizai to name a few.

The obvious shows being,

Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead (only the first 4.5 - 5.5 seasons)

I guess Better Call Saul, although I've never rewatched a single episode of it. I marathoned BB at least half a dozen times, but I don't get the call to rewatch BCS, just one and done is enough for me.

Netflix's The Witcher is a good one. I heard Star Trek Picard is good, haven't watched it yet.

If you're looking for anime or maybe even cartoons, I really like Somali and the Forest Spirit, it being a feelsworthy show. As for cartoons Infinity Train both seasons I watched recently and really like

I started watching the anime Smile Down the Runway and I've been liking it a lot so far.

Star Trek: Picard is okay.  Not as good as Star Trek Discovery but it's watchable.

Started watching Stranger Things Season 3 which I had not gotten around to for a long time since I didn't like

the end of season two but season three has been good so far.  I've been watching it slowly though.

Animal Crossing New Horizons isn't going to play itself.

Keeping up with the Kardashians. 

God no I hate that kind of shit lol. Kim Kardashian never looked sexy to me anyway, and that's the only reason she's famous right? There's a lot of good suggestions here alerady though. I just remembered I actually still havent watched this Tiger King bs because of all the memes.

Terrace House is pretty entertaining. It’s kinda like a Japanese version of The Real World, except the atmosphere is relatively peaceful and focused on the roommates working to improve themselves. It makes it all the more fun when there’s a new roommate who wants to start shit or has no ambition. 

Derry Girls is an interesting comedy about foul Catholic schoolgirls in mid-90’s Ireland. Has some great dark humor with the consequences that start to pile up as their actions become more and more egregious. 

Spaced is always one I’d recommend as the first major collaboration between Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost. Revolves around a flat inhabited by strange folks, including our main characters who are strangers pretending to be a couple to get cheap housing. 

Not sure if this is streaming anywhere, but Eizouken is a great anime that just came out about three girls trying to get into creating their own animation. 

Asobi Asobase is another recent anime I can’t recommend enough. It’s got humor similar to IASIP, but with three girls trying to entertain themselves at the expense of both themselves and others while passing off their activities as part of an extracurricular club about pastimes.

I could go for some actual Japanese television.. It's not an anime right?

That Terrace House.. American reailty shows I wouldn't give the time o' day at all, but just due to the fact I'm still trying to get conversational at Japanese I could do a japanese reality tv show. I've seen some bonkers video bits from those by the way. So much different than fucking survivor or AGT and all that skat brain bullshit in a way. Japanese reality shows are often built to be more comedic than their american drama bitch counterparts. :|

edit: Fuck yeah reality tv, and not anime

Terrace House is live action. It’s not theatrical like Western reality TV and it’s calmer nature makes it a nice show to watch when you want to unwind and watch 20-somethings try to get started with their careers with the help of their roommates. 

There are definitely shit-starters that move in at some point in each of the different seasons, but for the most part, they don’t overshadow their other roommates not do they get melodramatic for attention like with our reality TV. It’s kinda like the reality TV equivalent of chicken soup or a cup of tea.

I didn't forget about this, but AMC tries to make watching The Walking Dead for free a cockmeat sandwich worthy sin so I usually save catching up on it for last. I suspended my cable.satelite service because on a regular day it's all but pointless, and I think even at times like this the appeal they'll try to bring is bogus.. 

Better Call Saul.. Solid suggestion friend I've been meaning to watch it. I've finished Breaking Bad I think.
