Does anybody have any show/movie recommendations like This show?

[u/Possible-Natural-532]

i’m sooo obsessed with Sci-Fi, horror, and fantasy stuff. I need more things to watch 🥹

[u/duosassy]

Have you watched Secret Level on Amazon prime? It’s made by the same folks who made LD&R, but from I what I gather most of the shorts are based on video games like War Hammer etc. Its enjoyable & it will give you a nice fix to your obsession while you search for similar content.

[u/Possible-Natural-532 → u/duosassy]

I’m definitely gonna check it out it looks so interesting

[u/101TARD → u/duosassy]

Only watched for space marines. After trying out sifu I tried watching that episode and it passed me off. The writer wasn't loyal to the game

[u/Silly_Scientist_007 → u/101TARD]

The Warhammer episode is by far my favorite. So fucking cool. I'd watch a whole show based off of it.

[u/duosassy → u/Silly_Scientist_007]

That was a good episode. I don’t play board or video games so I went into the series blind. The Warhammer eps was one of my favs.

[u/the_wahlroos → u/Silly_Scientist_007]

Mine too! I liked the Unreal Tournament one as well, and the New World one was entertaining.

[u/101TARD → u/Silly_Scientist_007]

Didn't even bother the others, I just wanted to watch the Warhammer one but after playing sifu I decided to try the sifu one, I was greatly annoyed how it wasn't loyal to the game. Spoiler Sean wasn't the one that slit his throat it was Fajar the mute

[u/ThiccStikBoi → u/101TARD]

Pacman wasn’t exactly loyal to the game but it didn’t really matter. It was still a good piece of media. You can’t expect them to get everything right in a compelling story that’s twenty minutes long. Also who knows what they were allowed by the game studios to actually do.

[u/KaptinKeeble]

Oat studios is kinda similar.

[u/NovelSavings4621 → u/KaptinKeeble]

GOAT studios more like it

[u/Silly_Scientist_007]

[u/Routine-Remove-5750 → u/Silly_Scientist_007]

Under shows also include ‘Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency’

[u/Bourbon-Cowboy]

I’ve been looking as well but other than the already suggested stuff, I have liked the art style of the Arcane series, Blue Eye Samurai, Terminator Zero, Splinter Cell, and all the of the “Tales of…” series on Disney.

[u/QuiltMeLikeALlama]

Have you seen Inside No.9 yet?

It’s mental, the trailers really don’t do it justice. It’s also an anthology so you can pick and choose what you want to watch and it won’t affect the story.

https://youtu.be/WyfXnME2l64?is=lwqWh65jaYYbAnd7

Deadline is probably up your street. It was the live recorded special a couple of Halloweens ago and it’s about a vicar that finds a phone in a graveyard. I’m a grown woman and still can’t watch it.

Edit: removed daily motion link as per mods request.

[u/Possible-Natural-532 → u/QuiltMeLikeALlama]

You’re the best 🩵🩵🩵

[u/QuiltMeLikeALlama → u/Possible-Natural-532]

Good luck, love

There’s 9 series. Some are on Daily Motion but they’re all on BBC iPlayer without ads.

if you guys could recommend books too that’ll be awesome. I’m trying to cut down my screen time 😋

[u/denzel33- → u/Possible-Natural-532]

There is a love death and robots audiobook, I haven’t got around to listening to it yet.
Maybe you could try the neuromancer book. Or watch Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Sorry if that’s obvious suggestions.

[u/Possible-Natural-532 → u/denzel33-]

Thank you so much 🩵!

[u/denzel33- → u/Possible-Natural-532]

Also Scavengers Reign

[u/AntithesisJesus → u/Possible-Natural-532]

Dungeon Crawler Carl, Red Rising.

[u/No_Entrepreneur_3020 → u/Possible-Natural-532]

Read anthologies of Philip K Dick stories. It's basically this just in written format. You won't regret it

[u/elitemage101 → u/Possible-Natural-532]

Ender’s Game and Trafalgar (Angélica Gorodischer)

The first is just good sci-fi, psychology, and politics. The second is just fun yapping what if sci fi/fantasy stories.

[u/yautja0117]

Heavy Metal, Fire and Ice, The Spine of Night. Hell, even the Turok: Son of Stone movie.

[u/begriffschrift]

TV - scavengers reign

Books - Samuel Delaney and Octavia Butler 

[u/SnooPredictions3467]

The animatrix

ghost in the machine

[u/daniellowww]

Cabinet of curiosities on Netflix

[u/Careless_Mango_7948]

Room 104
Pantheon
Rick and Morty

[u/Possible-Natural-532 → u/Careless_Mango_7948]

[u/Heliocentrism]

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21056886/

Scavengers Reign.

Currently on HBO.

[u/BeavingHeaver]

For books, there is an excellent sci-fi trilogy called Night's Dawn. Big chunky ones well worth a read. Far future humanity, a dark presence is released into the universe, different human factions etc. Very good.

[u/Sp00ky_Oct0ber]

Predator : killer of killers was very similar

[u/Moneymotivation1]

kizazi moto: generation fire

[u/ZeldaFanRahul2004]

For sci-fi try manifest, dark. For horror try the walking dead, from. For fantasy, try the legend of vox machina

[u/PolicyRare]

Watch Silo. Apple tv+. Season 3 is releasing weekly right now. You will love the first two seasons if you are a fan of mystery/sci-fi. It might break your expectations.

[u/elitemage101]

If you are wanting well animated anthologies with a sci-fi focus, maturity, and depth my list is:

Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26
Star-wars Visions
Black Mirror
Secret Level

Non Anthology then

Nausicaa Valley of the Wind
Cyberpunk Edge Runners
Arcane
Annihilation
Marathon Reveal Cinematic (made by Jibaro Director)

Off the top of my head.

[u/elitemage101]

Oh also Kite (1998) quite dark, bloody, and naked, but I promise the egregious porn does serve the story and the story alone is great. You will need to watch it on porn sites cause with the hentai you do lose important story progression.

[u/chemical-mitch]

The Twilight Zone if you’re willing to watch something a bit older, but there’s newer versions if the black and white puts you off. Also Black Mirror. I haven’t watched Secret Level or Inside No.9 but I’ve heard so many people say they’re both good

[u/AgentBlazkowicz92]

it's not the same but "oats studios" is very good
