Action animes that live by "show, don't tell"
Main Post:
It's a common complaint about battle shonen genre that everything is explained through awkward dialogue and inner monologues. Even if the animation is already pretty obvious about what's going on, they will stop fighting just to explain their powers to eachother, or we keep cutting to some other characters watching the fight and reacting to and narrating every move. Sometimes there's even an actual narrator explaining things directly to the audience.
Can you recommend me some shows with good action where the visuals speak for themselves. Shows that let us figure out what the powers are by watching them in action instead of getting it spoon-fed to us.
Top Comment: I think Dandadan is really doing it right in terms of "Show don't tell." The fights are gorgeous and dynamic with minimal monologuing. It's been such a breath of fresh air for me.
Must watch TV Shows?
Main Post:
So, I've mostly watched comedy tv shows (Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, Modern Family etc). And maybe some random drama series (House M.D., Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, The X Files) But for the most part haven't really tried a lot of other genres. I'm wanting to try different genres and maybe shows from different places as well.
Animated or live action is fine.
I have watched a decent amount of anime and cartoons. Though if it's something newer, odds are good I haven't watched it yet. Or from before the 90s, I might not have seen it yet.
I'm from the USA. I have a ton of streaming services. If it's on Prime Video I can rent it. Or look elsewhere if I have to.
Old or new series is fine with me. Documentary shows are fine as well.
Feel free to recommend me sitcoms if you want, maybe something newer or from somewhere not in the USA, though. I've watched a decent amount of older sitcoms and mid 2000s sitcoms.
TIA.

Top Comment: Late here... But I haven’t seen this one mentioned yet: Flixbaba.com ETA: They moved the site, there should be a link to it at the top when you go onto their old site, but just in case: Flixbaba.net ETA: Sadly, flixbaba got shut down... So here’s some other sites: srs.stop (TV Shows) rivestream.org (Movies & TV Shows) ETA: Flixbaba is back up.
[UPDATED] Top 100 Best TV Shows according to IMDb, RottenTomatoes, Metacritic and TMDB. How many shows from this list have you watched and which do you recommend the most?

Top Comment: Full quality image here because Reddit compresses the image in the app. (edit: I just updated the image because The Last Kingdom's country was wrong on the original image. It is correct now.) I just added Ratingraph ratings as you suggested. So this is the updated ranking. I finished 43 shows from this list. I'd like to hear how many shows you've finished and which ones you recommend. This list only includes shows from 1997-2024 (edit: but the top 3 best old shows are Dekalog (1989) with 8.93 overall rating, Mr Bean (1990) with 8.90 and The Twilight Zone (1959) with 8.82). This list does not include ongoing shows (edit: the best ongoing show is Heartstopper with 8.86 overall rating. My Brilliant Friend with 8.71 is the best ongoing show that is already renewed to its final season). Honorable mentions: This Is Us, Legion and Dopesick tied with Penny Dreadful at 100th. Honorable mentions 2: Crash Landing on You has a 9.12 overall rating and it would be good enough to be 3rd on this list. Young Royals has a 8.94 overall rating, that would be good enough to get 9th place. Detectorists has a 8.86 overall rating and Utopia UK has a 8.84 overall rating (both good enough to be 11th on this list). But these shows do not have a page on Metacritic, so their score is based only on IMDb, Rottentomatoes, TMDB and Ratingraph ratings. There are many highly rated foreign shows that could be on this list, but unfortunately most of them do not have critic ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. That's why this list is mostly American-British. Edit: I missed This Is Going to Hurt. It is a British miniseries with 8.50 overall rating, so it should be in the Top 100.

Main Post:
I have a pretty versatile taste so not too fussed, but just interested to know what people consider to be some must watch tv series..
P.S. Yes I know The Wire, The Sopranos and Breaking bad is “the best” but a less generic list would be appreciated.

What are your must watch shows of this year so far?
Main Post:
I love a mixture of genres like comedy, action, adventure and drama. I don't like anything that is slow otherwise I end up switching it to something else.
My favorite shows is ted lasso and shrinking, the office, tokyo vice and blue maestro.
