I need something long to sink my teeth into.

I’ve seen Castle, The Mentalist, Fringe, Lost, The Good Wife, Man in High Castle, Handmaid’s Tale, The Practice, Scandal, Person of Interest

I’ve seen some of Star Trek: The Next Generation, The X-Files, MASH, Burn Notice

I’m looking to The Wire, The West Wing, The Americans, The Sopranos.

If it has some comedy in it, that’s awesome. That’s why I like Castle, Fringe, Mentalist tbh.

Very serious or dramatic or gory stuff is not what I like at all. Neither do I like pure comedies, usually. But I liked Community and The Good Place.

Thanks!

    based on your criteria i think that you would not enjoy the sopranos or the americans. haven't watched the wire but from what i've heard that one is very serious and dramatic too.

      Tbh The Sopranos isn't that serious. There are some parts that are very dark and gory, but it borders on being a comedy quite often.

        this is true in the first few seasons but by the end there is a lot less comedy from my memory.

        tracee getting beaten to death, adriana's death, dr. melfi getting attacked, aj's suicide attempt, etc

        Sopranos has comedic and satirical elements. It's definitely very explicit and gory at times, but it might be for you regardless. Give the first few episodes a try, it'll give you an idea of the level of violence.
