Just wondered what non-anime TV shows people watched. My personal list is as follows:

The Walking Dead
Fear The Walking Dead
Mr. Robot
Stranger Things
Lost in Space (2018)
Dark
Gotham
Riverdale
Lethal Weapon
Lucifer
The Mick
The Detour
Atlanta
How To Get Away With Murder
Into The Badlands
Preacher
Big Bang Theory / Young Sheldon
Archer
Rick & Morty
South Park
Westworld
The X-Files


Shows that have now ended (but are some of my favorites still):

Dexter
How I Met Your Mother
Freaks & Geeks
Person of Interest

^^ These are the TV shows I watch every episode of, some I like more than others, but all are enjoyable enough to ensure that I never miss an episode.

What are some of yours? List one or all of them, like me. :)

Tbh, I haven't actually finished many TV shows, but the ones I've enjoyed the most are Breaking Bad, Oz, and Prison Break. BB is definitely my favorite though, and it's easily one of the best things I've seen in any medium of entertainment.

I like Stranger Things, Black Mirror, and Game of Thrones.
I also really liked Hannibal, but I didn’t watch the third season as I kind of liked how the second one left things. I’m bad at finishing shows in general, I enjoyed but haven’t watched all of:
Breaking Bad
How to Get Away with Murder
Walking Dead

I’m planning to watch Westworld next year when I get my annual hbo subscription for a couple months to watch GoT haha

My top five right now:

1. Breaking Bad
2. Game Of Thrones
4. Friends
5. House of Cards, but it'll probably become a complete disaster after this huge scandal with Spacey :/ So I'll secure this place for Black Mirror, just finished watching all seasons and I totally loved it.

I started watching TV series "for real" just a few years ago, so I still have a lot to catch up with, there are so many great ones coming out right now! Before, when I was watching Lost or House M.D. as a kid this would be unbelieavble, people are treating TV series seriously now, it's so awesome.

All my choices have too much nudity but.

Westworld: was amazing and I can't wait for season 2. I just hope they don't ruin it.
Altered carbon: This show does have it's flaws but at the same time there's just something extremely compelling about the story. It feels like a story that should have been a Anime.

tbf its not Capaldi that I hated, it was the storylines I think after they made that christmas special with the 13th doctor I just gave up. Their explanation on making it happen seemed hamfisted, like Matt Smiths Contract expired and they needed to explain why there were 13 doctors.
Capaldi's doctor sounds like he was written well but his companions were boring or annoying (though tbf most of his compainions can be annoying) and the plotlines for his time in the show didn't quite catch my attention as much as 9-10
Honestly I'm much more of a fan of the older episodes 4-10 are the best 5 being my favorite out of bias that he's hot

I used to LOVE game of thrones. I would rewatch all seasons before a new season just to prepare for it. Once I read the books and the show started diverging a lot during the 4th season (and oh god how bad Dorne was), I really started to dislike the show. I still watch it because its too late to quit now, but it was one of my all time faves, and now its just something I watch.

I really liked black sails, mainly because pirates have always been one of my favourite archetypes and just watching pirates do their thing was such a joy ride, especially after reading "Treasure Island."

The Walking Dead is another one that I've just kept up with for years, although I haven't seen the last season.

There is a few more, but these ones really stick out the most to me.

Just curious, do you not like the reboot of Ben 10 or just haven't watched it? I haven't seen all the episodes of either series, but I've seen quite a few. I liked em both, so I was jw what your opinion was. I know the live-action Alien Swarm was just garbage though.

my problem with the reboot is it lacks the seriousness of the old series. sure it had comedy but it also had some drama this new series just feels like comedic action.

Does dramas count aswell? If they do, then my favorite one is a k-drama named Hit The Top. It was so good. Oh yeah, I also like a lot of horror movies when I used to watch them yars ago. Too many to list all of them now, and don't remember all of them. One that I remember and used to LOVE is Drag me to Hell.

Bones. Which I'm currently binge watching. (on season six and I've been bingeing since March 3rd.)

I LOVE this show. I've always had an interest in forensic anthropology, it amazes me how they can find out a so much about a person just by looking at their bones. And the characters (well in reality the actors) work so well together. They have really good chemistry. And the show has a good mix of comedy, drama and science jargon that I don't understand and of course romance.

Besides Bones, I also like 9-1-1, Everwood, Friday Night Lights, Powerpuff Girls (original one, not the mess that they are making now) Teen Titans (original, not GO!), That's So Raven, Kim Possible, Phineas and Ferb, Avatar: The Last Airbender, 8 Simple Rules, Dexter's Laboratory,The Good Doctor, Sister Sister, Family Guy, Smallville, Ghost Whisperer, World's Dumbest, Kyle XY and Rick and Monty. I have the complete series box sets of Bones, Everwood, Friday Night Lights, The Powerpuff Girls, and Teen Titans. Funny how I'll spend money on complete series box sets of western shows but not spend money on anime. I'm a horrible person. :/


Most of my favorite shows ended a while ago and/or don't air on TV anymore, though, which is one reason I don't really watch tv anymore.


I know, I didn't have to make a big essay but I wanted to make an attempt at a discussion post instead of just listing my favorite shows.

Not counting childhood classic cartoons that I just don't watch anymore (this including The Simpsons), I am not and have never been good at watching western TV shows. For some reason I just don't care about them. I've always preferred movies.

The only ones that ever caught my interest from beginning to end were LOST and Downton Abbey. I liked a lot the first season of Heroes too, but in the 2nd one it became shit in an irredeemable way and dropped it.

I've also watched some random episodes of sitcoms like Friends and Will & Grace, but I wouldn't call them "favorites"...
