The list of shows I am going through

Only 75 to go /o\


I'm letting myself skip anything over 45mins, which I'll mark with a # if I haven't actually tried it. And just imagine that half of these have "No, I don't know why I added this either" as an unspoken aside.

Hilda:
A cute animated kids show about a Scandinavian girl dealing with magical creatures and making friends. A little slow but charming *keeps*

Bob Ross: Beauty Is Everywhere/Chill with Bob Ross
Nice, gentle show explaining how to paint landscapes. I do these while actually painting, so will not watch right now. *keeps*

John Mulaney: Kid Gorgeous at Radio City
Stand-up comedy. Very entertaining! *finished*

Disenchantment
Satirical fantasy show by the creator of Futurama. Apparently dire. *drops*

Doctor Who
Time travel scifi show. I used to be really into this but went off it for some reason and don't seem to be able to get back into it. *drops*

Your Name#
Anime scifi romance movie. *keeps*

Grace and Frankie
Two women have to deal with their husbands dumping them to get married to each other. Well made but idk, something about it didn't work for me. *drops*

Monty Python:
Classic 1970s comedy show. I am not going to rewatch it.*drops*

Aggretsuko:
Anime about a cute anthropomorphic red fox dealing with her repressed anger about her shitty office job by occasionally exploding into angry song. Not bad, didn't click for me. *drops*

Star Trek: Discovery:
Latest Star Trek series. Didn't grab me, if I feel like trying again it's not hard to find. *drops*

One Day at a Time:
Sitcom about a family of Latina women. Nice enough, but too sit-com-y for me. *drops*

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina:
Trashy teen magic shenanigans. Not quite good enough to hold my interest. *drops*

The Dragon Prince:
US made animated high fantasy. Was rather generic. *drops*

How I Met Your Mother:
Sitcom about a group of friends, with the conceit that the protagonist is telling his kids how he met their mother. (And yes I am aware of the very unpopular way it ended) Too sit-com-y for me. *drops*

Queer Eye:
Reality tv where a group of queer men offer straight men life advice. Not my sort of thing. *drops*

Little Witch Academia
Anime about a bunch of cute girls at magic school. Cute! *keeps*

Young Justice
Animated show about the young sidekicks of the justice league. Just barely entertaining enough to keep me holding on until the introduction of ANY FEMALE CHARACTERS WHATSOEVER.*keeps*

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
Animated children's show about a group of magical talking girl horses who are all friends. Consistently annoys me and I'm not sure why *drops*

Black Mirror
I just added this for the Season 3 episode San Junipero, a scifi f/f romance. Which was SUPER GREAT. Deals with illness and death, but is ultimately uplifting. *finished*

Please Like Me
Australian comedy-drama about a young gay man and his friends. I really liked Season 1 but Season 2 just made me sad for some reason. *drops*

I love watching you go through your queues. This is honestly an inspiration and I might have to try your order.

The lack of female characters thing honestly kills my interest in a lot of shows. XD;

[alias_sqbr]

I recommend this approach, it makes watching TV feel like an achievement :D And yeah, same, Young Justice has enough female characters in the opening credits to get another chance but it's on thin ice.

[jesse_the_k]

Level up by dropping your queue! Excellent.

[hebethen]

It's a quite sad show at times! A perfectly reasonable reaction methinks.

[alias_sqbr]

Yeah, and it hit some buttons close to home.

I will pipe up in defence of Disenchanted. I think a lot of the flack it got was from people expecting "The Simpsons" or "Futurama".
Matt Groenig did something different, just in his visual style. I really enjoyed it, especially once it got a few episodes in. I'm holding out for season 2.

[alias_sqbr]

Ok, you've persuaded me, it's back on the list!

Young Justice is so good! I keep wanting to watch it but somehow I don't have the timeslot available in my life; I tend to want to watch TV as a social activity and neither of my usual TV buddies are interested in kids' cartoons. I have watched far enough into it to get both Megan M'orzz and Artemis in the show, and they are lovely!

There is VERY LITTLE fic available featuring Aqualad, not at all in proportion to how awesome he is, for VERY SUSPICIOUS reasons that I'm sure all the authors would say are nothing to do with racism.

Nice, something to look forward to :D
