Exactly. And often "what I want" is to be pleasantly surprised by something I didn't expect to like. How can I experience that if I only stick to what I know I like? (obv don't get me started on algorithmically suggested media)
Precisely!
Seriously though... check out SurrealEstate. I mean, you don't know me or anything so you've got no reason to trust me, but I highly recommend going in and watching the first episode completely blind. I had zero idea what to expect but it's a really well made show. Better yet, it's filmed where I'm originally from! If you don't like the first episode then you probably won't like it but if you've got even a hint of intrigue then I recommend sticking around for it.
I'd explain more about the show but I don't want to spoil too much. If you go in blind then the first episode is a trip and a half and really sucked me into the show. It's serious and funny, relaxed and tense. Strikes a great balance and is truly well made.
Well, if your taste in Television is anything like your taste in memes I'm sure I'll love it
Give it a chance! It's a Canadian show on CTV but can also watch it on SyFy in the US. I have no idea where to stream it but it's worth looking into. It's really really cool. The first 15 minutes had me hooked because I was just so confused as to what the hell was going on. If I had looked into it more I would have had a better idea but going in blind really made me feel like one of the characters in the show which helped connect.
Also beautiful landscape shots of Newfoundland. Can't go wrong.
You had me at Canadian Scifi!
I think it technically takes place in the US but yeah. It's not 'Sci-Fi' though. It's more... 'Fantasy-Drama-Thriller-Comedy'.
