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.

The Pitt. Fantastic hour-by-hour show about a fictional emergency room in Pittsburgh. Each episode covers one hour and the whole season covers a single shift. I hear it's very true to life, unlike House. Emotionally it's a balance, sometimes very heavy and sometimes lighthearted. I never found it overwhelming. If you're interested in medicine, or the medical world, definitely check it out.

    wrong. Well, okay, so the medical words they use are usually right and the procedures are generally ok, but it is entirely a show in which the writer didactically lectures you on whatever social issue bugbears they have, it basically ignores all non doctor staff and their relevance except vaguely making reference to the head nurse being important (Except she, and every other nurse, never fucking do anything), and the closest to a competent senior doctor we see is shown to be on drugs and dangerous based on the time he called out a junior doctor for bullying students and just winging it with procedures.
    It does the exact same hero doctor shit that House and every other medical drama does, and then has the hero doctor lecture you on the basics of lib politics or the dangers of fentanyl, but gets away with it by not having jumped the shark yet.

    This is a 2 month comment, but I must correct the record. I am so mad at that show.
