i’m quite into:
- competitive cooking shows where the chefs are regular folks who have real personalities (example: netflix barbecue showdown)
- shows where people restore rusty cars and then try and sell them, often focusing on the economics of running a garage and the things that can go wrong when buying ancient vehicles. (example rust valley restorers)
Rust Valley Restorers is so good. I was upset when I ran out of episodes to watch. More problems than a hippopotamus!
there’s like 3-4 more of the same show just with different characters, rust to riches, another one about the mexican border etc etc
Yeah, I’ve seen most of them, but Mike and Avery were my favorite by a long shot. I also enjoyed the show Fastest Car where they race one super car vs several sleepers out in the desert. I’m not even really a car-person, but I sure get sucked into modding and restoration tv. Rust to riches was my entry point!
Yaa lucky there is a family guy
this is why I made this post but people out here actually giving recs 😨😭
Yes.
That is a complete answer fwiw
@shit_of_ass yes. I have just the show for you if you’re tired of that stuff.
Detectorists is a work of absolute genius
It really is. I heard they are going to have a movie!
There’s no sex in your violence
There’s virtually no sex or violence in Ms. Rachel, which is about the only show that hits my TV by request of my toddler.
Watch old popular programs and shows from the past.
There’s a reason why some shows went on for seven, eight or nine years … people liked them and the productions were well done because they had to be back then.
Nowadays, it’s far too easy to slap together a formulaic show or movie pump it out with a low budget and send it out. It’s good in one way because it gets writers, producers, actors and directors to do work they never could have done in the past but it also means there is less pressure to make something great. Twenty, or thirty years ago and more, a production had to be really well done because it was way more expensive, involved a lot more people and there was far more risks for everybody. Doesn’t mean they always produced great stuff but due to the circumstances, there was more pressure to make great content.
At this point in media … you can take your time watching what’s new and if you ever feel like there’s nothing to watch … there’s decades of great content from the past that will suit anyone.
Ted Lasso is very good, while having basically no sex or violence
Worth mentioning that it is not about football, it’s about the people in and around a football team. I have zero interest in football and Ted Lasso is one of my favourite shows.
The local channel has like 8 hrs of continous bird feeder, then a half hour of student news, and an hour of polka dancing on average every day.
Those old people sure can dance, but I don’t think any of them are particularly sexy.
Parks and Rec
Derry Girls
Roadkill (car show on HBO)
Great British Bakeoff or whatever it’s called
You could always watch Sesame Street.
Sounds like the algorithm has you in a box or sex and violence. We all get put in these boxes if you watch even one violent/sex video as the algorithm knows sex and violence gets engagement. You have to watch, like, comments whatever you can to engage with content you prefer to slowly change the feed. Even then, you will be tantalized with that sort of content from time to time as it tends to be what engages most. Resist and if possible tell it to stop showing content like that.

Who are you responding to?
This is how I wound up watching Asian fantasy series on Netflix.

Our Flag Means Death

The Totally Made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin

Decline and Fall

The Gentlemen (the series, not the film)
That should keep you busy for a while
Edit - How could someone downvote Our Flag Means Death?!?!? :(
The Gentlemen is a great series
