Does anyone have a short (maybe 8-10 episode) TV series to watch? I just finished Away and need something to watch next, but I don't want to get too deep into something. I've already seen Broadchurch, Little Fires, Dead to Me, Unbelievable, and Fleabag. Is there anything else about as long as those? Or have I seen it all?
Don't laugh, but I've been binging Teenage Bounty Hunters and found it surprisingly enjoyable. Ten episodes and cleverer writing than you might expect.
Indian matchmaking is hilarious
Just finished all 8 episodes. Very interesting show.
I liked it too!
Normal People on hulu
Have you seen Euphoria? Only 8 eps so far, though season 2 is coming later. Also if you haven't seen Big Little Lies yet the first season is only a few eps and very self contained.
I really liked Unorthodox, which is only (I think) four episodes.
The Boys. It's a very dark comedy series, but it's really good. S1 has only 8 episodes.
My husband really likes this show.
This is what I ended up watching. So interesting! A really good watch. Thank you!
@Anon Season one is definitely much stronger but I enjoyed them both and highly recommend the show.
The Great
I also highly recommend Normal People. we are watching The Vow on HBO. Very interesting and totally crazy.
Tried the vow this weekend. Wow.
Schitt's Creek. It took a few episodes before I "got" the characters, but I love it now. It also has some of the most surprising and truly romantic moments for a comedy that I've seen in ages--not done for laughs or a gag, but actually tender and moving and genuine.
It took me a season or two to really get into Schitts Creek but my god am I glad I stuck around. Such a sweet show in the end, and it started off seeming like snark alone.
@Anon6247 Seriously! We just finished the last of season 5 yesterday and DH was gently mocking me for tearing up when he had to push me to watch in the first place. I just told him I'm gonna need more than the two rings... also gently mocking, of course.
I avoided it for the longest time because of the name, but I absolutely loved it. The characters are amazing and so hilarious. I can't even tell you which one I like most, they are so good.
Lenox Hill was great, also my friend just rec’d I May Destroy You
Outcry on Showtime
Doctor Foster is another one I really enjoyed. It's a mystery drama, only 10 episodes. I really like Suranne Jones, didn't enjoy Gentleman Jack so much but Dr Foster was good.
+1 on both shows. I loved Dr. Foster but could not get into Gentleman Jack. I like her character but the show was not great.
We just got into a British sitcom called Friday Night Dinners on Amazon. It totally cracks me up. It's a good distraction -- not heavy or overly plot driven.
Salt Fat Acid Heat was excellent, and only four eps. Also, the Mandalorian is great, we've been watching it with DC who has already seen it and is a Star Wars geek, I'm not super into it but have been impressed, it's way better than the recent movies. Also Queen's Gambit, Bridgerton. Luther is a great show, it's older but Idris Elba is fantastic.
Have you done Ted Lasso or The Morning Show yet?
Sharp Objects
Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries. Gorgeous costumes!
Sharp Objects, Queen's Gambit, The Wilds on Amazon, the Flight Attendant on HBO Max (this was surprisingly interesting and unexpected!), The Night Of (on HBO if you haven't seen it yet), The Affair (multiple seasons but I loved it and seems like we have similar taste in shows),
any of these (have seen schitts, lasso and fleabag) funny?
Have you watched Derry Girls? So funny, and I loved the three you mentioned.
@Anon I liked Derry Girls too. It was cute.
Succession - only 6 eps for 2 seasons each. The Undoing - i think only 6 eps. Can finish in one weekend.
