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?

    Eureka is kind of a disaster of the week pseudoscience problem show with a lot of heart. Don’t go looking for true scifi, but it’s so damn charming and the cast has exceptional chemistry.

      I really loved Eureka, but the whole everyone thinks Carter is an idiot schtick makes it hard for me to rewatch.
