Recently I’ve been catching up on tv and some of the more mature/adult shows, which I’ve been…Enjoying? Seems like the wrong word, but they’ve all generally been cynical or dark.

For reference, I’ve just finished Better Call Saul, which got me to finally get around to finishing Breaking Bad, and I’ve also been doing a rewatch of the anime Monster as it’s been years since I last watched it.

So basically back to back dark shows.

I’ve already watched The Good Place, which nails what I’m describing, but it’s a little blunt with the sweetness, while I’ve watched some of Bee and Puppycat which seems like it’s closer to a nice middleground of sweet and real.

What are some of your go-to shows for this kinda vibe?

    Archer jumped the shark a good few seasons back. Still capable of maintaining a standard but it never quite gets back to itself.

    Edit: put some distance between bobs burgers and archer if you watch both. Alternating episodes between those two shows would be pretty confusing.

      I’ve not really watched much of Bob’s Burgers but I think I saw a fan made cross over sometime back and it was weird for sure.
