rec request: half-hour television
Jan. 5th, 2020 11:47 amHive mind! I request and require your assistance!
I have a plethora of good unwatched television at my disposal: Leverage S5, Counterpart S2, Sense8 S2, Smith and Capaldi Who, Legends Of Tomorrow, Peaky Blinders, Penny Dreadful, the list goes on. The problem I have with all of these is that they come in hour-long episodes.
I'm looking for something in half-hour chunks, so I can watch it on my lunch break while exerbiking.
Comedy is a tough sell for me, and unfortunately comedies tend to be what comes in half-hours. The last comedies I enjoyed were The Good Place and Better Off Ted. I tried Brooklyn Nine-Nine and 30 Rock, and found both more irritating than amusing.
I like having a throughline but it's not necessary. Wholly self-serving characters (e.g., Gaius Baltar) are a huge turn-off. I'm not opposed to older shows but I lack much in the way of knowledge of where to start there.
Thank you!
