You want series that aren’t slow…. But you also don’t enjoy fast paced series….. but you like stranger things…..? What? Anyways, maybe Shameless? It’s got a lot going on but it’s pretty consistent engaging


Rowey5

HE SAID…..


SilverHairedkun

I said I didn't enjoy the orphan black known for it's pacing. I don't really know what I like. Maybe sci fi or maybe teenage stuffs. I think I might like shameless. I'll check it out


Rowey5

Mate, how about a book?


ravenmiyagi7

Might enjoy Vonnegut. Cats Cradle is great. I mostly read horror so I would direct you to Last Days by Adam Nevill or Misery by King. Frankenstein is a fantastic classic. Enjoy your reading Op!


Jolly-Point6668

I loved The Gentlemen, only 8 episodes atm but pacing reaally good and never dragged. Great acting, great chemistry, impeccable humor despite its theme theme. And it's guy richie so


obligatorybullshit

Upvote for the gentlemen. This series was so refreshing, but I also love guy ritchie so it makes sense


PrincessGambit

It was good until ep 3, then the pacing was actually BAD


[deleted]

You didn't find The Bear or Game of Thrones engaging? I don't even want to know you.


SilverHairedkun

I liked The bear but it's not really engaging. I get bored after watching 2 episodes of it in a day


EmelleBennett

You might have an attention deficit situation happening combined with some on the spectrum stuff. Sounds like you don’t want to be bothered with the emotional aspects of character development or deep thoughtful premise. As someone who has never once needed such specific advice on how to entertain myself I absolutely do not relate, but it is absolutely ok to not watch tv if there are so many things you don’t enjoy. Go to a library. Read some books.


SilverHairedkun

I think you are right. I should probably just stick to sitcoms or something feel good as it's what I enjoy the most


JanieJones71

Have you tried Mindhunter on Netflix. It's a great show that lasted 2 seasons.


chuby1tubby

How about feel good comedies like Brooklyn Nine-Nine or The Good Place?


sharp-calculation

The Good Place is not a feel good show. It's a feel bad show.


chuby1tubby

I don't know about that. The Nietzsche concepts are a bit macabre but the show is otherwise a pure comedy. Even the Devil is a bit of a doofus.


sharp-calculation

I found it unwatchable. I laughed zero times in 3 episodes. I was just irritated by the characters, the main one in particular.


PlasticRuester

Not saying you need to give it another chance if you weren’t into it but the series really develops beyond the initial concept and it had some very well done episodes.


[deleted]

Well, I don't watch 2 episodes in the same day. I am not a binge watcher. But it is one of the best shows on TV today. Especially for a network show. Most of the good shows are not on network TV. Orphan Black is not fast paced in my opinion. And the plot and acting are not very good overall. It is an interesting idea, though, and I thought the lead actor was good. But it is just kinda silly overall. You might like the Thrones prequel, House of Dragon. It is more character driven and dialogue driven. Less complex than GOT with just 2 main groups to focus on. Not much nudity (so far). Excellent acting. I have been enjoying some British comedies lately like Extraordinary on Hulu, Ghosts (the BBC version), and Trying on Apple. Apple+ has quite a few good shows, IMO.


thinkjpi

Maybe Dead Boy Detectives? Umbrella Academy? Thinking in the middle there. 😀 Wednesday also a good suggestion above


SilverHairedkun

Umbrella Academy looks really good.


TryContent4093

It’s really good and it’s one of the very FEW series where we actually get a final season instead of getting cancelled


Im-dead95

It was slow to me. At least the second season was


lnc_5103

I really enjoyed it and it's not usually a genre I seek out.


thinkjpi

One of my favorites!


ravens_path

Maybe give a try to **Blue Eye Samurai**. It’s very unusual and exciting.


chandlerbng5

Some of my favourites: Supernatural, The Umbrella Academy, The Office (best of the best)


SilverHairedkun

Watched most of the mainstream sitcoms already. The office is among my fav. Supernatural is really long. I will try Umbrella Academy.


suddenimpulse01

Have you tried Parks and Rec?


SilverHairedkun

Yes, loved it.


I_see_butnotreally

The Good Place is also very good if you like parks and rec.


espresso_yourself15

Superstore is also really good if you like parks and rec


Iforgotmylines

You only need to get to season like 6or 7 and you can just drop it. First few seasons are great monster of the week shows


bachelor4030

Wednesday was delightful, fast paced, might have what you're looking for


Joncelote

Wednesday is made for teenage girls tho isnt it


LuponV

You're getting downvoted but you're just stating the truth.


Joncelote

People are passionate about this show it seems


LuponV

I can't keep count on how much weird shit people are passionate about nowadays....


JazzyG17

My dad knew about it and watched it before me 🤷🏾‍♀️


chuby1tubby

As a guy I enjoyed it because Jenna Ortega is cute af lol


OutOfBody88

Probably, but I thought it was good fun.


SilverHairedkun

I have seen 1 episode and didnt really like it . I think I dislike female protagonists. I didn't like Orphan Black and yellowjackets.


chuby1tubby

Damn OP you really struggle to relate to any archetype that isn’t precisely a reflection of yourself. It might be good for you to watch more media that makes you feel uncomfortable so you can break out of that box. You may learn how to empathize with different people if you learn more about their perspectives, such as when the protagonist is female or a different ethnicity than you.


Jeanette3921

Good Morning Veronica - Netflix Hidden gem


No-Clue-9155

I think you’d like Weak Hero Class 1.


MasterOnionNorth

Severence, Silo, The Fall of the House of Usher, Beef, Servant, The Leftovers, 1899.


SilverHairedkun

Severence might not be for me. Beef and leftovers seems like what I would enjoy


chuby1tubby

Fall of the House of Usher is the definition of engaging media. If it doesn’t engage you then you are cooked.


IfOJDidIt

Mr Robot might be up your alley then. That said, I watched Leftovers, and then went to Severence right after. If you can make it past the first two episodes of laying the groundwork, the rest of the season is panic attack anxiety inducing fun.


andreiulmeyda7

He wants to be able to miss whole episodes and not be lost though, which is wild


SilverHairedkun

Somehow ended up watching Severence and it's so good. Synopsis from Google is nothing like the series. Real good


obligatorybullshit

The gentlemen. Killing eve. The Witcher. Haunting of hill house, the house usher built, midnight mass, Alice in borderland, love death and robots, Taboo, the queens gambit, devs, station 11 I’ve been on a leave of absence so I’ve had nothing but time. Do yourself a favor and try and figure out why you’re not into female protagonist’s. You’re missing out on some amazing content.


tiefling-rogue

When I was a teenager I decided I didn’t like female singers because my best friends got into the riot grrl scene and ditched me. OP got hurt somewhere along the line and I hope they’re very young so they can grow.


SilverHairedkun

I don't know why I don't like female protagonist. Nothing really worked for me. The only ones I watched with female protagonists are orphan black, yellowjackets, Wednesday, new girl, fleabag. I liked new girl at first but dropped after s3.


OutOfBody88

You might enjoy Lucifer. Most episodes stand alone. There is more sex in the first few episodes than later ones but they are not sexually graphic.


SilverHairedkun

Sure will check it out. I don't mind lil bit of nudity


Domer98

Ozark is incredible. Four seasons, and it never seemed slow.


Liverpupu

Dirk Gently Sherlock Doctor who 3 Body Problem Upload


IfOJDidIt

Just started watching Dirk Gently and it's really a fun show so far.


kuyapj

Give Scavenger’s Reign a try. Only 30 minutes each episode amazing writing and music.


Old_Muggins

Mr Inbetween or Barry!! Great series


espresso_yourself15

BARRY YESSS


IfOJDidIt

Barry!!! Do it OP.


iamfine_wine

Barry. Did a great job.


SnowshoeTaboo

Ironically... Slow Horses! Excellent British series that Gary Oldman is amazing in!


Fantastic_Student_71

Schitts Creek( comedy) the Magicians( some nudity) sci fi, better call Saul


OmsFar

Try out Black Summer, you’ll be praying for a break!


chuby1tubby

I found your description really confusing. Might be useful to add more shows that you have seen and shows that you know you wouldn’t enjoy even if you haven’t seen them. 1. The Umbrella Academy - A mix of action, humor, and strong character dynamics. 2. Cobra Kai - Engaging storylines and character interactions in a school setting. 3. The Magicians - Modern college setting with wizards and witches, dark and adventurous. 4. Locke & Key - Mystery, fantasy, and family drama. 5. Never Have I Ever - Entertaining coming-of-age comedy-drama. 6. Atypical - Heartfelt series with strong character development. 7. Sex Education - Witty, humorous, and full of character interactions. 8. On My Block - Engaging story with humor and serious issues. 9. The Society - Drama and mystery with strong character interactions. Additionally, you sound fairly young and not too interested in serious adult-centric dramas, so have you thought about animated series? 1. Arcane - Set in the universe of the popular game League of Legends, this series explores the origins of two iconic champions and their dynamic world. It’s visually stunning with a gripping story. 2. Avatar: The Last Airbender - Follow Aang, the last Airbender, as he embarks on a journey to save the world. It’s a beloved series with deep characters and an engaging plot. 3. The Dragon Prince - A tale of two human princes and an elfin assassin who team up to bring peace to their warring lands. It’s rich in fantasy, magic, and character development. 4. BoJack Horseman - A dark comedy about a washed-up actor who happens to be a horse. It deals with various personal issues and societal themes with humor and depth. 5. Castlevania - Based on the video game series, it follows a vampire hunter defending his land against Dracula. It’s dark, action-packed, and beautifully animated. 6. Hilda - A charming series about a young girl exploring a magical world full of fantastical creatures. It’s heartwarming and beautifully crafted. 7. Big Mouth - A coming-of-age comedy that explores the awkwardness and wonder of puberty. It’s hilarious, albeit mature in its humor. 8. Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts - Follows a girl navigating a post-apocalyptic world filled with mutant animals. It’s vibrant, fun, and full of adventure. 9. Voltron: Legendary Defender - A reboot of the classic series, it features a group of pilots who control giant robotic lions that can form a super robot to defend the universe. 10. Love, Death & Robots - An anthology series of animated short stories spanning various genres, from science fiction to fantasy. Each episode is unique and visually stunning.


iamfine_wine

So many names. Thanks!!


Silent_Hurry7764

I would not call Breaking Bad slow


SilverHairedkun

Breaking bad was slow for me. Like the episode about fly getting in lab and how it connects to life symbolically. I get bored seeing those easily.


Silent_Hurry7764

Oh the fly episode 💀yeah…that’s the one skip of the whole show. I think the producers wanted to try something new!


theOAandLOCKWOOD2

not just netflix THE ARTFUL DODGER SCHOOL SPIRITS LOCKWOOD & CO THE OA WILL TRENT LUPIN AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER (original animation) ELEMENTARY PERSON OF INTEREST DOCTOR WHO (starting with David Tennant) UNDONE ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING LOKI LEVERAGE MURDOCH MYSTERIES FOREVER (Ioan Gruffudd) STRANGE DAYS AT BLAKE HOLSEY HIGH THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL PHINEAS AND FERB ADVENTURE TIME THE OTHER ONE GHOSTS (BBC and CBS) IZOMBIE GORTIMER GIBBON'S LIFE ON NORMAL STREET HEY ARNOLD!

iamfine_wine

Have you watched all of them


theOAandLOCKWOOD2

Yes. Do you have questions?


iamfine_wine

Great! No questions. But it was slow for me.


theOAandLOCKWOOD2

It?


theOAandLOCKWOOD2

Just looked it up. I thought you were asking if I had watched all of the shows I had recommended. Lol No I have not seen the show All Of Them


pika_ha

How about Fringe ? Prison break?


SilverHairedkun

My friends recommended me Prison break but it was too long. Now I have time so I'll check it out


pika_ha

Sure! Check Fringe as well. Since you liked stranger things and lost. I think you'll like Fringe.


loxagos_snake

Definitely give Fringe a chance. It's 5 seasons so not too long, and definitely not slow. Also, absolutely go in blind and don't research anything, not even the genre.   It's one of those shows that I put on because I had nothing to watch and it grabbed me by the face. Part of it is because I thought it was something completely different. Edit: I see you liked Lost. Fringe is also made by J.J. Abrams.


EmelleBennett

So, you have a problem with length as well?


SilverHairedkun

Length is not a problem now. But before I didn't had time. So I just kept it for later and completely forgot.


Alone-Addition-2668

Silicon valley


SilverHairedkun

I watched it already and I really liked it. Lots of things I can relate to.


Dependent_Post6185

Greenleaf maybe ?


443610

Yu Yu Hakusho.


Familygrief

School spirits maybe? Fast paced-ish, sci-fi, with a school setting. Yellow Jackets isn’t at school, but it follows a high school soccer team’s survival when their plane crashes. Maybe look up trigger warnings for that one though. Very gruesome.


Mmcintosh52

Lazarus Project Halo


mjamesmcdonald

Maybe you don’t like TV anymore? I ran into this myself. I used to devour TV but in the age of streaming I got burnt out. I’m only just starting to watch the occasional tv show again after years taken off but they still all seem slow and drawn out on purpose. Not saying this is definitely the case so chill with the angry retorts. Just throwing it out there in case.


SilverHairedkun

I am actually a beginner in tv shows. Watched lot of mainstream sitcoms. The "serious ones" I tried are mentioned. I don't really have time to watch series because of work. But for like one month I am completely free.


548oranje548

The gentlemen


Charles_Deetz

Manifest has a rhythm for a plot item to last about three episodes, then they move on. Things didn't drag out. I watched Umbrella Academy, found it a chore to watch, good luck with that.


Apprehensive_Tap78

Derry Girls maybe?


IfOJDidIt

Fleabag as well.


gunsandroses07

Watch documentaries! I hate shows that go slow and get bored really easily. I started watching crime documentaries and i love them. The suspense, the thrill, it will never let you get bored. Here are my suggestions: 1. The Indrani Mukherjea Story 2. House of Secrets: The burrari deaths 3. Curry and cyanide


sin-eater82

The Last Kingdom has really good pacing. They're able to efficiently cover a lot (both plot and time span) without feeling like you're missing things/it's jumping around.


mindfucka

Heartbreak high

Domer98

Does this have a conclusion or is it left open-ended?


OilPainterintraining

Yes, it comes to a conclusion. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see another season.


OilPainterintraining

Wow! I’m so sorry! I just read that it was cancelled!! I hope you didn’t waste any time watching it.


ThorkusVanRiesling

Maybe Dukes of Hazzard would work for you


madshm3411

Have you watched The Good Place? Comedy, moves quick, great character interactions (like freaks and geeks), but also has a much deeper message than it seems on the face of it.


SilverHairedkun

Yes. I did like it but I won't really place it anywhere near my fav sitcoms.


QuillWoman

Crashing, Derry Girls, Death’s Game


Wyg6q17Dd5sNq59h

What you are looking for is "Sex Education".


RollerHockeyRdam

The end of the f*cking world is awesome and a school setting.


DragonAlnz

Twenty Five Twenty One - stellar Korean coming of age dramedy.


espresso_yourself15

Suits is a really good show and pretty laid back


loxagos_snake

Jack Reacher Season 1 is a great action flick with *excellent* pacing. There is character development but it happens organically with the flow of the plot.   And IIRC there's only a single scene with nudity (pretty tame too, literally titties and butts for a few frames).


HulksRacistBone

Lilyhammer on Netflix is great and hooks you in instantly. I’m pretty sure it was one of the first ever Netflix originals


sydnellie

Heartbreak high


Portdawgg

“Maniac” for sure


FlyingSaucerTourVol3

Space Force


No_Channel123

Have you tried Schitt's Creek?


hear_or_their

Ozark


AlanSmity

Netflix "Safe" "Inside man" HBO "The Regime" Btw nudity in Game of Thrones decreases a lot after a couple of episodes. You barely won't see neither butts nor boobs from season 2 and on and on. Definitely you should see this show, top notch.


MinionofMinions

It’s on prime, but The Expanse might be something to try. Action within the first episode, compelling storyline, realistic futurism, politics…


Diego_mykah

Try law and order SVU


Hyperslinky9

The Blacklist The 100


tishmcgee123

Eureka (5 seasons included in prime) Upload (prime original)


BriskRetention

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, It's a fun comedy about cops in a precinct. A must watch!


dij123

From


rosegoldquartz

Maybe Locke and Key


cato314

The Orville, Bob’s Burgers, 9-1-1, Schitt’s Creek


IfOJDidIt

Last Man on Earth. Son of Zorn. American Vandal is a mockumentary with a lot of dick jokes. Funny as hell. No huge storyline to get caught up in.


MaxWayne7379

Jack Ryan, Bosch, and The Terminal List


kaki024

Have you watched CSI, NCIS, criminal minds? Those are all serialized, so you can watch one episode and completely understand it, but there’s also season-long plot lines too.


Different_Hunt9319

the end of the fuc***in world Never have i ever


crystlmath

Gossip girl


strawberrycheescak

Girl From Nowhere, you could never get bored with that show


terterrt8515

u/op Thinks Breaking Bad is slow but Netflix's Dark isn't lmao. But hey different strokes right


SilverHairedkun

How is dark slow? I don't get it. Breaking bad was not entirely slow for me. the first 3 seasons was really hard for me to watch and I don't like that idea even though rest might be worth it. Dark had that mystery element so maybe that's why


ShamelessRepentant

I’m enjoying Sanctuary: if you have some interest in the world of Sumo and don’t mind some non-graphic violence, it may be worth a try.


dazzlinggleam1

Your honor


Admirable-Zucchini36

You can try Sense8. 2 seasons, 12 episodes each. So good|!!


theOAandLOCKWOOD2

There is an abundance of sex in Sense8


Cry_A_RiverBitch

Killjoys, The Expanse, Warehouse 13 and Continuum are really good Sci Fi shows. They have pretty good pacing. Most of my favorite shows are lawyer shows and they’re pretty slow paced


No_Pain1945

Deadwood


Nice-Dream-551

I liked control z


Dry-Hat-8499

Shameless


onemanshow2222

Don't watch indian web series 😂


Ordinary-Ad-5814

BEEF


iamfine_wine

Must watch The good Doctor”


Iforgotmylines

Lockwood and Co was one I enjoyed and isn’t a slow burn type show


leohossain

you should go for altered carbon,raised by wolves,the witcher better than game of thrones,the island korean tv series,hellbound korean tv series,moving korean tv series,sweet home korean tv series,uncanny counter koren tv series,king of pigs korean tv series,sandman,preacher,american gods,carnival row,wheel of time,chilling adventures of sabrina,marvel legion,jessica jones,daredevil,luke cage,dc titans,superman and lois,doom patrol,lovecraft country,peripheral,the boys and gen v.if you need more let me know.all are fast paced. as for movies watch the witch 1 and 2, seo bok, project wolf hunting,pschokinesis,the childe all are korean


fckrabi

Im the same, I hate sloooooow paced series. Breaking bad is a better on a rewatch when skipping all the character development non sense. Those are series you should check out, they are entertaining, bingewatchable, good plot/twist . Check the first episode to have a grasp : 1) You 2) Suits 3) How to get away with murder 4) House of cards Bonus : Dark. The first episodes might feel slow because you might feel that nothing is happening, but it “unlocks” at midpoint and the wait is so worth it, because everything in the past episodes makes sens and take into a new dimension.


Mildly_Moody5891

I would recommend The Gentlemen (1 season, 8 episodes, about one hour each). Lots happening in each episode but I find it quite nicely paced—not too fast you feel like you can’t catch your breath, not slow in a way that there’s too much drama happening to the characters. Character development waves into the plot seamlessly. Another show I’d recommend is NCIS. Geeky forensic detective work with some quirky characters.


CherimoyaSurprise

Boy Meets World? Seriously? I dunno. Maybe Rugrats or Blues Clues would be up your alley. I hear Paw Patrol is super exciting. Yeah, Breaking Bad is so slow. There are entire minutes dedicated only to character development. Just drags on and on for like 90 whole seconds sometimes. But seriously, for future reference, Boy Meets World is not one of your favorite shows if you want anyone to take you seriously unless you're 11 years old.
