Try these 5 shows if you need something to watch

Everyone has that one person that they ask what they're watching because they know they are watching good shows. I know I always text my cousin for anime recommendations and when I am in the mood for a good superhero show or movie I text my friend. People have their own way of discerning what to watch next. Here are a few of my recommendations based on other shows that you may have liked.

Liked All American, Watch Last Chance U

Liked All American, watch Last Chance U

If you like sports shows like All American on The CW, you need to try Last Chance U. It's not necessarily a teen drama but teenagers are involved. It's sort of the aftermath of a fish out of water story if the fish out of water failed at first and had to come home. Most of the kids involved in this docuseries are great athletes and are there because they faced disciplinary problems or did not do the work in the classroom and did not get scholarships.

You hear from the coaches how some kids on his teams should not be at the junior college level talent wise but because they have either on the field or off the field issues to deal with this is where they end up. Like All American, this has to do with football seasons at multiple junior colleges but there is also a six season that deals with a junior college basketball team. You can watch Last Chance U on Netflix.

Liked Avatar: The Last Airbender, Watch Full Metal Alchemist

Liked Avatar: The Last Airbender, watch Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood

If you enjoyed following Anng on his journey then you will have a blast following brothers Edward and Alphonse on theirs. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood has been called one of the best anime in the genre which makes it a great place to start if you are looking for anime to watch.

The brothers lose their mother at a young age and try to use alchemy to bring her back to life but during their attempt they lose either part or their whole body in the process. The only way to fix what they have done now is to find the philosopher's stone and hope that it can fix what has already been done.

Like Avatar, it does a great job balancing action with humor and involves a certain type of magic or supernatural events that can be controlled by people in this universe. You can watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood on Hulu, HBO Max, Netflix, or Crunchyroll.

Liked Friends, Watch New Girl

Liked Friends, watch New Girl

So you like shows involving a close-knit group of friends that get into not totally outlandish situations but ones that seem a little too ridiculous at time, then your next show should be New Girl. The show begins with the main character Jess looking for in apartment after breaking up with her boyfriend and decides to move in with three guys named Nick, Winston and Schmidt.

Unlike Friends the main characters in this show at one point all live in the same apartment but just like Friends there are plenty of comedic scenes to keep you laughing throughout the whole show. With running gags like Nick not being able to handle life or the way that Schmidt mispronounces words, you may begin to feel similarities between them and Joey and Chandler. You can watch New Girl on Netflix.

Liked Ozark, Watch Narcos: Mexico

Liked Ozark, Watch Narcos: Mexico

If you watched Ozark you probably enjoyed the suspense as you sat on the edge of your seat wondering if someone was going to get killed or caught. Well, the same could be said for Narcos: Mexico, a transition series from the original Narcos which followed the DEA as they pursued and took down Pablo Escobar, along with leaders of the Medellin cartel.

Narcos: Mexico is involved with the drug trade which is happening in Guadalajara and Mexico. This series has the potential to be better than the original and has the same or more suspenseful situations that will keep you wanting more as the episodes go on. You can watch Narcos: Mexico on Netflix.

Liked The Office, Watch Space Force

Liked The Office, Watch Space Force

The U.S. version of The Office has been a hit for years now. Whether you are a Steve Carell fan or you just like something directed by Greg Daniels, Space Force is a show you need to watch. It follows Steve Carell's character as he is put in charge of the first military branch in charge of space travel. This new branch in the military has become laughable among the other branches.

If you have watched The Office and need a little more reassuring to watch Space Force picture Steve Carell's character Michael Scarn from The Office and put him in a military uniform. To make things better add to that image John Malkevich as his science advisor. Now at any given time you could have one character say something completely stupid and another completely lose his mind. How fun does that sound?

How do you figure out what you watch next?

Shows and movies normally have something in common. Whether it be the genre or an actor, these two factors are what I used to figure out what to watch next. Others use awards like does “New York Times Best Seller” does for books. I hope you enjoy my picks and, don’t forget to get yourself a bucket of popcorn before you click play.
