i'm not sure if there will be much interest in this thread, but i spend a lot of time watching movies and shows (they tend to be a good distraction for me) and i'm always on the lookout for something new to watch.
i've seen a few movie recommendation threads although i thought it could be nice to have one where we could recommend both movies and tv-shows to one another, and maybe if there is some interest in this thread we could eventually make one where we could discuss some of the movies/shows that are recommended here.
with each recommendation perhaps we can add a little bit about each movie/show (spoiler free of course) and the recommendations here don't just have to be films or shows that are centered around depression, feel good movies and what not are more than welcome!
a show i recently watched was "flowers", it's a dark comedy about depression centered around the "flowers" family. it has a phenomenal cast and was created by will sharpe who also plays a character in the show, shun (by the end of the second season he was definitely my favorite character). it made me laugh and cry and is a real rollercoaster of emotions (for me at least).
it has two seasons in total, each with six episodes. each episode is also only about 25-30 minutes long, so if you're someone who doesn't like a show with hour long episodes this is perfect.
i'd recommend trying to watch the first season if you aren't sure after the first few episodes, some things are much more than they appear and the episodes are short so why not! plus the second season is also very good in my opinion. personally i wasn't so sure when i started watching it, i thought somethings were a bit over the top at first but i'm glad that i kept on watching as a lot of things made sense and it all really came together!
