Hi there! I've just finished Orange is the new Black and I'm looking for similar shows or just other shows that you think are good! Could you recommend anything? 😊
Hmm I’m not quite sure what shows would be similar to oitnb, because it’s so completely unique. I guess it depends on what part resonates with you (or what you’d want to see in other shows). So I’ll just list some shows I like
Jane The Virgin: This is a ridiculously cute show. You’ll feel so many emotions watching it, because the acting and writing is top notch and I’ll give my left arm if you don’t fall in love with every single character on the show. Seriously. Seriously! Everybody should watch Jane The Virgin
Daredevil: I’ve always had a soft spot for morally ambiguous superheroes. My fave when I was a kid was The Punisher, so I loved Netflix’s Daredevil. The show is so solid, it sort of remind me of the Christopher Nolan’s Batman verse in the way it views superheroes.
Sense8: How do you even describe this show? If tumblr ever got to write a show it would be this fucking show. Selling point: There is a lesbian trans hacktivist character played by an actual trans actress.
In the Flesh: This show ruined me. It’s about a queer zombie trying to live his life in a small town in England where essentially everybody but his family and fellow zombies hates his guts. It’s amazing and will emotionally drain you, but it’s so worth it jfc.
Veep: It’s literally the funniest show ever.
Agent Carter: Strong female lead kicking the shit out of every one and being super confident and badass. Yes thank you!
Honorable mentions: Brooklyn 99, Louie, Steven Universe, Parks and Rec, The Americans, Bob’s Burgers.
I’ve probably forgotten someone so check the notes, because I’m sure there will be a lot of great suggestions there too :3
ETA: Oh right, heard Wentworth is worth checking out if you’d want something similar to Oitnb! Haven’t actually checked it out myself though
