Sounds totally fair enough mate. I'm not really the person to ask because most of these shows are shows I want to watch but haven't yet. Last of Us is fantastic though and the boys is as enjoyable as any superhero property imo, mainly because it feels like it's pretty much what would actually happen in our world if superheros existed and doesn't pull any punches (literally), where every other show would just give you a sound effect while it cuts to someone's reaction, the boys will give you slow motion and high focus so you can see the details of someone's head being pulled off their body or something equally (often more) horrific.
Ted Lasso sounds more likely to grab you from that list if only because it's 30min episodes and relies on humour more than plot. But this is still based on others opinions, it's just a show I still want to watch at the moment so I could hate it yet. I tend to find that most things which are universally acclaimed are well worth watching though.
I appreciate the answer! I'll keep these in mind. Cheers
No worries. Another show that sprang to mind which isn't in this list is the legend of vox machina.
It's an amazon prime series based on critical role and follows the first campaign relatively faithfully (so far). It came to mind because it's an animation and the setting and plots are well thought out. Characters have been played by the voice actors for literally hundreds of hours before the show was even conceived so whilst there are clichés aplenty, the characters are fully formed and fleshed out from the start. I'm biased because I was addicted to CR since the early days but the show really stands up on its own in my opinion.
It sounds corny as fuck but it's one that was 100% made with love and if you like adult cartoons I really recommend it.
Alright! I haven't heard about that one either, I'll keep in mind too. Thanks!
