    I love "Fleabag", and I'm glad that it finished after Season 2. It didn't overstay its welcome, and we got two hilarious, thought provoking series out of it.

    I think an important thing to point out about Fleabag is the fact that it's based on Phoebe Waller-Bridges' own one-woman stage play, and, as a former theatre student, really manages to capture the heightened emotion and fourth-wall breaks of the stage in such a captivating way. it's a perfect emotional adaptation of stage to screen and deserves a level of recognition for that alone.

    three other wildly different shows for your consideration:

    - over the garden wall (possibly my fave series ever, wonderful animated limited series with so much to analyze and unpack omg)

    Bojack Horseman is the first show that stuck to me, even after a few years of it being out now. It made me have an actual sincere appreciation for TV and moreso made me realize that shows like these can really help people. This show reminds me of my college years and everything I went through at that time. The show is truly therapy and an emotional ride you don't see coming. The creators made it that way which is cool- the first like, 6 episodes or so make it seem like an adult animation and then BAM shit gets real and you're hooked. I wish I could watch it for the first time again. This show will always be my #1. So grateful for it.

    Imo Attack on Titan is the epitome of "If you haven't watched this, what are you doing?" AND "Why aren't more people talking about this?".
    Having studied dramaturgy, I would go as far as to say nearly every aspect of it is perfect. Great animation, voice acting (Japanese that is), plot twists, character building, world building, lore, soundtrack, plot construction, foreshadowing, complexity, themes etc etc. I've reached catharsis multiple times during the show because of the whole composition of elements like music and VA making my emotions explode.
    Attack on Titan is definitely underappreciated in the mainstream because it's anime, I've never heard any critics say anything about it in my country and a lot of people around me haven't watched it whilst I am advocating for the show very passionately to them. Remember I'm talking abt my country and mainstream audiences specifically, not the internet and anime culture.
    I am also so happy that you mentioned Skam, I'm from Norway so this show was my life during high school in 2015 and onward to its last season. Every teen should definitely watch it.

      Don't wanna be THAT snob, Attack on Titan is certainly fine, but there are so many better, weirder, artsier, more emotional, more thought-provoking, with better action, tighter writing anime out there !! AoT is just average pitted against the best anime has to offer. It just happens to be the one most people who don't watch a lot of anime know of.

      ​@@lina-bz9em Oooh, there are so many!
      For a grand fantasy adventure with militaristic elements, aka for fans of Attack of Titan, I would recommend Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. It can be horrific and serious as well as lighthearted and silly. It's geared more for a teen audience, but adults can enjoy it as well.
      Two of my favorite animes that are weird, unpredictable and deeply psychological are Neon Genesis Evangelion and Puella Magi Madoka Magika. They're both also a bit of a meta reflection on anime in general, especially mecha anime and magical girl anime, so it maybe helps to know a bit about both genres beforehand.
      Monster is the prime example of an anime for adults and is an excellent, if slow paced, psychological thriller.
      Welcome to NHK is a comedy show about a depressed outcast that manages to touch on some deep themes while also being wacky and outrageous. Its presentation is deeply psychologcial as well, with what's on the screen often reflecting what's in the character's mind, or at least playing with it. It's pretty good in having you feel sympathy for a very mediocre protagonist with very few heroic qualities.
      I've only just started watching Paranoia Agent, and it's soooo good so far! It's kinda anime meets David Lynch. Also absolutely check out Satoshi Kon's other work, such as Perfect Blue and Paprika. Most of his works have surreal elements and deal with multiples realities or the nature of reality.

  • @citruslatafolia877
    @citruslatafolia877 Před 2 lety +5

    3 shows i think are heavily underrated:
    "dear white people"
    a satirical comedy/drama show about black students in an ivy league university in America, that follows a different character each episode. it mainly revolves around samantha white (played by logan browning) who is a mixed race black film student with a radio show called "dear white people".
    pros: it discusses race, activism, queerness, free speech and blackness so well. the representation is amazing with black lesbian characters, black gay characters, black trans characters, afrolatino characters.
    cons: towards the end of the show it starts losing grip on itself, it jumps way ahead in the future and becomes a musical. i hated it so much but its honestly so worth it. also for a show about race, sam's privilege in being a light-skinned green eyed black women is rarely (but not never) discussed.
    fave character: Kelsey, a black trini lesbian with an emotional support dog called sorbet.
    "we are lady parts"
    a sitcom show about an all-muslim all-woman punk band in London. follows amina (played by anjana vasan)a guitar teacher as she becomes more confident and societal expectations, upon joining the band.
    pros: the representation of Muslim women is amazing, IMO. great music and very funny.
    cons: slightly predictable at times but still enjoyable. only one season yet.
    fave character: momtaz, a niqabi band manager who works in an underwear shop.
    "it's a sin"
    a drama show about mostly young, mostly gay, characters in 90's london dealing with the aids epidemic. follows ritchie (played by olly alexander) as he leaves home, denies aids and is then having to deal with the effects of the illness.
    pros: funny, good balance of light-heartedness with sad moments.
    cons: very sexually graphic.
    fave character: colin, a shy gay welsh man, seen to be sweet and innocent by other characters

    me: calls myself a proffesional tv watcher
    also me: has watched 5/18 of these lmao (fleabag, atla, skam, the magicians and barry)
    they're all on my watch list, it's just a question of timing and vibes, i will get to them eventually.
    for recs though, i mean get ready, some might be repeats from the comments i've seen, but just shows how good they are i guess. also those are the shows that i have fully watch and can vouch for, there are plenty of shows that i love and are great, but i'm not caught up on, so i can't really speak on and say they're amazing. btw these vary so much in genre, like i do think they are all amazing but in vastly different ways
    - ok so this is the shows that are so freaking good, but were cancelled too soon, but still manage to be incredible pieces of televion: sense8, the get down, anne with an e, dead like me, pushing daisies, the order, wayne
    - these were cancelled too soon as well imo, but they might be more just my taste and not everyone agrees?: galavant, generation, julie and the phantoms, now apocalypse, one day at a time
    - these are shows that are objectively perfectly executed and wrapped pieces of television: american vandal, crazy ex-girlfriend, dirk gently's holistic detective agency, everything's gonna be okay, freaks and geeks, los espookys, mr robot, the end of the fucking world
    - this is the same as before, except taste may vary and maybe i'm the only person who likes these shows: unreal, wolfblood, eyewitness (the american remake), hollywood, in the flesh, sweet/vicious, the librarians
    - these are shows that are airing now or have had at least one season, so they might get bad, but so far they rock imo: as we see it, derry girls, home before dark, miracle workers, mortel (it gets better in s2), resident alien, this is going to hurt, we are lady parts, dickinson
    this is specifically a watchlist based on the video, a type of "since you liked this, try that" thing, i only have a few specific ones, since we've established i watched nothing lmao. also there might be some repeats from the list above just bc its so specific:
    - skam: we know there is nothing quite like skam out there, unless you wanna watch blank or lovleg, which i have not yet, but have heard are respectively skam but in college, and skam but in the country instead of the city, but they were shows made specifically because of skam so they have the same vibes i am told. if you're into s3 of skam, young royals is pretty much the go to, so i'm gonna assume you've seen it, but of not, do so lmao. and if you're gonna try you're hands at a remake, i'd say go for druck (the german one) or skam espana if you want a similar vibe to the og but with different enough stories that you're kept on your toes. and as someone who is muslim, it has my personal favourite altenate sanas, who are ironically both called amira lmao. the 5 other remakes all vary in terms of tone and vibes, and at some point it just gets repetitive, so it really depends on what you like about skam, and i'm happy to rec specifically on demand but it's too complicated otherwise
    - pen15: i haven't seen it, but from the premise, i have big mouth, which is not the same media at all but the pen15 girls directly made a cameo in it and they compared their shows in universe so i wanna say it has similar themes but i have no idea. and i also rec the show chad, it has the same thing of an adult woman dressing as a kid and interacting with kids, but she adds the twist of dresing as a little boy and she killed it honestly, i constantly forgot this was a grown woman and not an annoying 14 year old boy. she really managed to capture everything perfectly, i simultaneously hated and felt bad for the kid.
    - the magicians: the closest thing to the magicians i can think of is the order and that got cancelled after 2 seasons and i am both mad and relieved because i did not like where we were going
    - tho boys: these are obvious but invincible for the whole realistic superhero thing and bad heros and such, and jupiter's legacy for the realistic "if superheroes had been around for decades they'd be like celebrities/rich kids" but this one i think might not be as good? because the saturation already of the genre, and the boys doing it so well, it might've flopped. but it was set in 2 time perieods, and i personally really liked the storyline set in the 1930s about how the first superheroes got their powers
    whoever read all this, bless you lmao i wouldn't have

    from a fellow english & film senior -- 'peaky blinders' and 'the alienist' are both shows that slip under the radar!! both get pretty dark but make fantastic commentary on class & psychology!! peaky blinders in particular is one of the best-written shows I've ever seen, and is rich with themes & analysis

    6:47 I was actually about to point that out. I've seen a lot of Bojack fans also love Fleabag and it's clear to see why. Both shows are drama comedys starring relatable yet emotionally broken main characters and both shows deal with loss, self sabotage and mental illness very well.

    dude i’ve seen most of these and you’re right, they all hit so hard. you should watch hannibal, curb your enthusiasm, six feet under, nurse jackie, ted lasso, the undoing, and king of the hill. based on your list i think you’d like them :)

    M*A*S*H is on Hulu. It might be kind of outdated but I really got invested into their stories although by the time Radar left I was kind of split wanting to move on to something else or finish the show, so I kind of picked and chose my way to the final-it’s a comedy and there might have ended up being a thing or two I actually missed from a missed ep when it was brought up in an ep I did watch

    I personally def recommend ‘Veronica mars’, I literally never see anyone talking abt it but it’s such a good show. Me, my sister and my mum like to watch shows together and we’re looking for something to watch when we found it. My mum had watched some of it when it was airing (early 2000s) and said it was good so we started it. I have literally never been so invested in a show before. The characters are interesting and the plot lines are incredible.
    Without spoiling anything:
    The show starts off with teenage girl Veronica mats who is a young detective working for her dads private investigation business. She had been an average popular teenager until her best friend Lily Kane was murdered. Her dad, the former sherif, was convinced she was killed by her father but was taken out of office and hated bc of the accusation. Veronica now having lost her boyfriend, and best friend is left to pick up the pieces, helping her classmates when she can and slowly unconvering the mystery.
    It’s an incredible show and the only warnings I’d give are that it talks about sexual assault at many points, and that there are some characters who experience racial prejudice and homophobia. (But it is painted in a negative light, not just in the show bc the time period allowed it)

    • @abdirisak944

    • @chelbelle4188
      @chelbelle4188 Před 10 měsíci +1

      @@abdirisak944 I can def understand that! Esp since it’s from the early 2000s. The first couple episodes are kinda trying to get their footing. I really enjoy the season further on but my absolute most memorable part of watching the entire series is that first season final episodes. I have never in my life screamed so much over something it had such high tension moments and I did not see any of it coming especially who ended up being the murderer. And how. If it’s not for you that’s completely okay!! But if you ever have a space of needing anything to watch and you can get there, the end of the first season really ties it all together. Like seeing all the episodes build up to this one thing that (personally) I never saw coming was so fun. Esp watching it w other ppl and having the same reaction.
