  1. What's a good thriller that makes you care about the characters more about getting answers for "the big questions"?

    I recently finished watching Silo (2023 - ) on Apple TV and at the end I didn't care much for many of the characters, I just wanted to find out more about the silo itself. I like those types of...

    I recently finished watching Silo (2023 - ) on Apple TV and at the end I didn't care much for many of the characters, I just wanted to find out more about the silo itself.

    I like those types of sci-fi thrillers, but I cannot remember any of them that made me care much about the characters.

    I have watched all episodes of The office and didn't like it one bit. I am not fan of cringe humour as I suffer a bad case of second-hand embarassement.

    The first season of Parks and Rec is like another show, they kind of tried copying the main character from The Office in terms of "cringiness". I've seen people recommend skipping the entire season, but I don't think that is necessary. Just keep in mind that the show improves after the first season and enjoy the rest of it.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I will check them out! I have watched 30 Rock and Unbreqkable Kimmy Schmidt and I liked them both, but mostly because I loved a single character (Jack Donaghy & Jacqueline, respectively). IT crowd is a classic, I rewatch episodes from time to time, but never from start to finish (I can still hear Matt Berry's "Faaaather" in my head).

    Also, your nickname reminded me of The Good Place. I haven't watched it since it finished airing. I might give it another go. I remember it being wholesome, too.

    I love feel good comedies. Currently watching Shrinking, I might add that to the list above, too.

    One of my favorite subreddits was about the show "The Leftovers". I don't know anyone in real life that has watched it and seeing what people thought while watching the show / after their first watch was great.

    My first watch (and rewatch). Beware, it includes spoilers! Like 99% of it is spoilers.

    When I first watched season three had just came out. I was ~20 year old and quite impatient person. I binge-watched it eager to find out where the 2% all went. I finished it and didn't think much of it... or so I thought. I put it in the same "basket" with Lost and that was it.

    Few weeks after finishing it I was catching myself thinking about the characters, about their story, about the feelings I had while I was watching the show... I am a huge fan of Max Richter (and cinematic music, in general) and every time youtube plays me The departure, it's like I am seeing the hopelessness in the eyes of most of the characters. It's the only show that has affected me that much so far.

    I recently rewatched it, and having known the end, the entire journey through the seasons was totally new experience. I knew what happened to everyone and I was just observing all of their emotions, behavior, choice of words... I found the show somehow better than my first watch.

    Of course, besides the story, the cast had a crucial part to how great this show was for me. Everyone played their role beautifully. The only character that was somehow redundant (in its current state) was Jill.

    So, has anyone here seen the show and what are your thoughts about it?

    I am a 28 year old that recently got a Nintendo Switch and a Pokèmon game... and I just fell inlove: with the TCG, games, Go, manga. Wish there was a community of people sharing their achievements in the Pokèmon universe.

    Other than this, I miss ShortScaryStories, dev subreddits like ReactNative, Laravel, specific tv show subreddits: Community, Parks and Rec, B99, The Leftovers, etc. Most of the shows have ended, but every once in a while someone posts their impressions and I get reminded how awesome it felt watching them.

    I am with you on this. I am in several Pokemon related servers (games, TCG, Go), but keeping up with info or just reading stuff (issues/question/tips users have) is a bit "messy". I love the forum-like threads reddit has (or actual '00 forums have).
