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? đ
Hmm Iâm not quite sure what shows would be similar to oitnb, because itâs so completely unique. I guess it depends on what part resonates with you (or what youâd want to see in other shows). So Iâll just list some shows I like
Jane The Virgin: This is a ridiculously cute show. Youâll feel so many emotions watching it, because the acting and writing is top notch and Iâll give my left arm if you donât fall in love with every single character on the show. Seriously. Seriously! Everybody should watch Jane The Virgin
Daredevil: Iâve always had a soft spot for morally ambiguous superheroes. My fave when I was a kid was The Punisher, so I loved Netflixâs Daredevil. The show is so solid, it sort of remind me of the Christopher Nolanâs 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. Itâs 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. Itâs amazing and will emotionally drain you, but itâs so worth it jfc.
Veep: Itâs 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, Bobâs Burgers.
Iâve probably forgotten someone so check the notes, because Iâm sure there will be a lot of great suggestions there too :3
ETA: Oh right, heard Wentworth is worth checking out if youâd want something similar to Oitnb! Havenât actually checked it out myself though
