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?
I started it too. It’s phenomenal…but lighthearted?
Well, the overall story is not that lighthearted, but the atmosphere of the main trio kinda is, they joke around, make fun of each other and so on.
Ah ok. I just watched the first 2 episodes and they were quite brutal. But so was e.g. Samurai Champloo, Dorohedoro or Cyberpunk Edgerunners and in all of them the banter between the protagonists made the brutal environment bearable. So yeah the comic relief could work for OP only if he’s used to the dark undertone in those animes.
