I need a new TV series to get into (old or new) v2

[FireGilbert]

Got Disney+ again when they got the Aussie NHL rights and have gone through a few shows:

The Bear season 4 was a disappointment. After the first 2 brilliant seasons the show has just been meandering with the writers seemingly not knowing where to go next. Too much time spent on being artistic and introducing new characters instead of progressing the plot. Feels like seasons 3, 4, and whatever they do for 5 could have been 1 season.

Then watched Welcome to Wrexham season 4. I enjoy learning about the quirks of the English system and as someone who finds soccer boring it's nice to have games recapped in a few minutes with the season covered in 8 episodes. Do find it less exciting now that the team is no longer an underdog and they are big enough to have their results spoiled. Also I preferred the older seasons with the shorter more focused episodes and every season feels like more and more like an advertisement than a documentary.

After that I watched Daredevil Born Again which was a huge disappointment. Love the Netflix series but Disney meddling made a mess of things trying to have their cake and eat it too being both a sequel and a reboot. Just some strange writing decisions with uninteresting characters and stories that go no where. Was finally getting good in the last episode and then just ends.

Then I finally watched something great in Andor. Was reluctant to watch anything Star Wars after the disasters of Episode 9 and the Obi Wan show but heard too many good things. Who would have thought a prequel to a prequel could be so amazing. Not just the best Star Wars property since the original trilogy but one of the best things on streaming recently. Great characters and tension filled writing with some interesting backstory added to the rebellion. Only criticism is I wish they could have found a way to make 5 seasons so the story of season 2 wasn't so compressed with time jumps.

Anything else I should watch?

There are some good music documentaries.

It sounds like they're not even sure if theres going to be a third season.

Honestly I don’t think it warrants a season 3.

I agree. I kind of think that Gunn just threw stuff on a board and just did whatever he wanted.

I'm not criticizing the show, I got some laughs out of it and my expectations were pretty low, but it didn't seem like it was adhering to any sort of grand master plan in terms of story or plot.

It was fun, but it was losing it's way real fast.

Very late to the party on this, but just binge watched The Pitt.

WOW... i think it might be one of my top shows I've watched in a long time. Must watch imo. I'm happy they renewed for another season for next year.

Very very late to this but I started watching 30 Rock. Jack Donaghy may be one of my favorite tv show characters ever.

30 Rock is one of the Greatest, if not The Greatest, shows ever on TV.

It is an absolute pleasure to watch with numerous layers of awesome.

Enjoy
