Looking for shows that will pique your interest? Perhaps the old shows don't do it for you anymore, some examples of shows both new and old are here to peak your gaze, or not
Survival Shows
Looking for survival shows? Well, some of these include; The Walking Dead, The 100, The Last of Us, and All of Us Are Dead. All in common as they are set with a group of people just trying to survive during either an apocalypse or just a survival game where there are betrayals, friendship, love, and war. As stated The Last of Us is rated high on rotten tomatoes and audience score. Stated from a summary of all audience reviews states “Elevating the inclusive humanity and survival intuition to a global audience from the relationship between the characters of smuggler Joel and orphaned teenage girl Ellie borne immune to a hypothetical fungal plague across post-apocalyptic Boston and most infected living landscape in the states” Said by viewer Welek Lee.
Animated Shows
If survival is not to your taste maybe animated shows are for example Arcane, Invincible, and Blue-eyed Samurai. These portray a sense of action-based fights, deep lore, bonds, and broken hearts. To keep you on the edge of your seat in animated-based action. All three are still going on so they will run for as long as needed to catch your eye! Invincible as an example carries 99% on the rotten tomatoes meter and 89% on the general audience. A review from a watcher is “The not-so-subtle allusions to DC comic themes like the Justice League and the teen Titans is a subtle mask for the carefully developed characters, decent plot writing, and suspenseful buildups” By viewer Zach Davis.

Drama Shows
If action is not your style maybe sit back and relax with drama and hurt shows to just watch and have your mind blown. Perhaps take a chance on Good Omens, The Office, or The Great British Baking Show. These shows have good laughs and slight suspense to catch your eye! Comfort shows to just sit back and watch on your couch when you need something to do. To look for specific Good omens is 84% on rotten tomatoes and 94% on the general audience. A viewer who writes a rating says “Good Omens is an amazing TV show that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is a TV adaptation of the wonderful book written by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It will tear your heart out and have you laughing your head off, within seconds. This show knows how to make you feel every emotion at once and can make you go from hating a character in one second to adoring them…” Started by viewer Amy Mooney.
Horror Shows
Perhaps these don’t peak in your view and are far too tame, maybe horror will catch your attention. Some show suggestions are Hannibal, Scream, American horror stories, and Resident Evil. All take a turn to horror series based on other media with gore and deep lore explaining all the points with major and minor details. Something that leaves you on the edge of your seat and hiding away under a blanket as it gets right under your skin. As before a specific example Hannibal where on the rotten tomatoes meter is 92% and the general audience is 94%, a very high rating on both. From the viewer's reviews, one is “An immaculate and magnificent series about the charismatic and mysterious Dr. Hannibal Lecter. A must-watch for lovers of crime, drama, thrillers, and gore. For a series about cannibalism, it certainly doesn't skimp out on the practical effects of body dissection and innards becoming outwards.” Stated by the viewer Magnus.
These are just a few of many shows for the audience's gaze and to sit back and relax, maybe take a trip or enjoy your time with these shows!
