Looking for some slop I can binge watch.

Any suggestions? Currently on the final season of Schitt's Creek. Just rewatched The Expanse, Better Off Ted and Letterkenny before I started Schitt's Creek.

Nothing serious. I don't want to learn anything. No true crime or docuseries whatevers. No an*me. Nothing political (I know I know everything's political). I'm fine w it being something you have to pay attention to from ep to ep. I'm fine with something you don't have to pay attention to. Doesn't have to be modern, or new. Doesn't have to be in English as long as there's some subtitles.

Just need some slop. Please and thanks n stuff.

Every Star Trek, including The Orville but not including Discovery or Picard. Precluding animation leaves out some of the best ones though.

Andor is the only good Star Wars thing.

Shogun was decent.

    Was Discovery not good? Heard Picard wasn't good, but thought I heard Discovery was one of the good ones.

    I've been starting from scratch at season 1 of the Original Series and am surprised at how much fun I'm having. It's basically Twilight Zone in space and I didn't expect that for some reason (to the point where they basically ripped off a Twilight Zone episode in one of the first couple episodes lol).

    They had a lot of crossover, IIRC, and several sci-fi writers got involved with scripts. There's some brilliant concept plots, and even in some of the really dated ones you can still see what they were going for.

    Discovery and Picard were libshit shows that hated every premise of Star Trek, basically. Others often struggled with them, or outright challenged them, but Discovery and Picard were outright nasty in that particular bullishly ignorant way.

    I found Discovery to be much too grimdark and hopeless about a positive future.

    There were also a lot of bad faith criticisms of it from reationaries mad that the main character is a Black woman but unfortunately not everything that makes reactionaries mad is good.
