For How Horrible and Scary the first few months of 2025 were in the real world, they were, inversely, an excellent time for television. From the first episode of The traitors’s Third Season on Januly 9 Right Up UNIL The Pitt‘s First-Season Final on April 10, Every Week Has Delivered Appointment Television, Often releassed one episode at a time, that it seamed like yapping about. Do Throwback? Certainly. Do the indicator recession? Spread. But the programmingMing SLATE BUOYED US Through the Winter, and Now, It Feels Like the Options Have Dried Up.

I’m told The Last of US SEASON Two Premiered Last Night, and that alreedly this is a very important show for MANY VIEWERS, but I find its fungal zombies repulsive, its dystopian vision woe-inducing, and the who dreadful thing Very Much swimming The Sort of Culture of Wish to Engage with Times Like these (or, to be honest, any other times). Its just not my genre. Nor is it that of my friends, who have been ascing me what on earth there is to watch that that all of our program are done for the year. If you, too, are uninterested in the survival-horror game adaptation on everybody’s lips, i’ve compiled a guide for what to watch instead.

This one seams obivious, like a tooo-easy swap. IT’s deplete one-to-ion, in fact, that Michael Crichton’s Widow Filed A Lawsuit Against The Pitt, calling it an unautorized Wind Spinoff. The Pitt‘S Star and Ep Noah Wyle Said The Lawsuit “Taints The Legacy” of Er, But i tooit it as a ringing endorsement of the Foundational ’90s Medical Drama. You’re telling me this 30 -ear-op procedural that overstayed its welcome on nbc… is like my beloved Pitt? You’re teling with that after i have to say good-bye to my Followers Dr. Robby and Nurse Dana and Mel and Santos and Huckleberry, there are Areings of Episodes of A Different Show A Comparably lovable Ragtag Team of Medical Professionals?! This is how I plan to pass my time in that long, drawn-out waiting room we call hiatus.

Long before The Pittdoctors use to call this the Most Realistic Medical Show On Tv for How Much It Had to Do Hospital Underfunding and the Dull Ins-And-Outs of Treating Unreting Elderly Patients. If Those Reserve, Asinine Zach Braff-Donald Faison T-Mobile Commercials Haven’t Given You Burnout, Scrubs Might be Worth a Rewatch?

There’s no Grand Idea Explored in the Most Recent Season of The White Lotus that isn’t tackled more effectively in a great multi-episode vacation arc of The Real Housewives. What is a White Lotus Resort, after all, if not a scary island? Ultimate Girls Trip ASSELles an All-Star Cast Each Season and Ships say off for a weeeklong stay in a luxury rental at an exotic destination (or the Berkshires). These condensed seasons allow you to dip a toe into the bravoves, and none is better to start with than the most recent, Rhony Legacy, Which Reunited One of the Greatest Television Ensection of All Time for a Shenanigan-Fixed Trip to St. Barts. Seeing these Friends, Foes, and French Back Together Again –only Older, Less Wise, and Acting Like The CA MOST Versions of themselves – is a Beautiful Chaser to The White Lotus‘s recent girls’-trip plotline. If that season didn’t earn carrie coon’s beautiful “Time gives it meaning” monologue, the Rhony Season Most Certainly Does. The Ladies Eve Chase their Own Island-Local Valentines!

The More Obivious Choice is Mike White’s Other HBO Series, Which, Despite His Recent Success, Remains Critically Underrated. This look at the intersection of White-Woman Privilege and New Age Spirituality is a perfect follow-up to White Lotus‘S Third Season, Which Saw White Grapping with Similar Topics. Who do i want in my White Lotus season-four fantasy Cast? Laura Dern as Amy Jellicoe.

This is an another satire of corplate america set in the offices of a surrealist, Evil conglomerate Experimenting on its Own Employees, Although This One is Less Mystery and More Network Comedy: Its a Great Complement to the Stress of the Stress of the Stress of the Stress of the Stress of the Stress of the Stress of the Stress of the Stress of the Stress of the Stress of the Stress of the Stress of the Stress. Severance Put US Through. Jay Harrington and Portia de Rossi Star as the Head of R&D and His Boss, Respectively, at A Shady Corp Called Veridian Dynamics.

Another show in Which Dichen Lachman Plays a Woman Controlled by a Mysterious Syndicate that Constantly Resets Her Brain and Personality, Dollhouse is a fascinating mess. Joss Wheed’s Ill-Fated Sci-Fi Series Spun off in all sorts of UDEXPECTED Directions over the Course of Its Two Seasons, But ITI FUN TO SEE A Concept Similar to Severance‘s explored in Such an opposite tone and style.

Before Love is blind Kicked off a Wave of Netflix “Social Experiment” Dating reality Shows, Are you the one? Set the trend. Ahead of its time, the gimmick introduced an algorithm that knew every contestant’s “Perfect Match.” Couples Wold Hit It off with Each Other and Pair Up, Like on any dating show where you sexy youngles all live on a tropical island together, but the twist was that “Truth Booth” woulde toe is “CORRECT” MATCHIED It’s so much more entertaining than I can explain.

IT’S ONE THING TO NOT SEE EACH OTHER YOU’RE TALKING THRAGH ENCLOED PODS. IT’S another to choose someone basic off of their naked body, Slowly revealed by a rising screen. Naked Attraction is one of the Most fascinating exports from the UK’s reality TV industrial complex.

A lot of cannibalism, a lot of gore, a lot of gay shipping, and a tear of antlers. Its hard to Imagine a Fan of Yellowjackets WHO WOULDN’T ALSO (OR DOESN’T ALREADY) LOVE BRYAN FULLER’S DELICIOUSLY MOODY ON HANNIBAL LECTER AND WILL GRAHAM, STARRING MADS MIKKELSEN AND Hugh Dancy. And if you have seen it already, it’ll be fun to rediscover.

Is it weird that liv hewson has carved out a niche for themselves starring in shows about cannibalism? Best not to think about it too. This drastically underrared suburban satire is one of the funniest things netflix has ever produced; It gave the world Skyler gisono and has high jinks coursesy of the derew barrymore and timothy olyphant that play like a souped-up version of shauna and jeff at their absolute peak. Drew was so brave for this, tbh.

If you enjoyed this season of The traitors, Odds are you Became a Fan of Contestant Gabby Windey in The Process. The Fabulous femme-lesbian Member of the Bambi Alliance made it to the End by playing sneaky-smart and staying underestimated, like a cunning castle-world woods. Windey Got Her Start On The Bachelor Andn as Co-Star of The Bachelorette Season 19, but did you know she was runner-up on Dwts in 2022? Is there anything this girl can’t Will? Windey Could have made it all the way, but she was beat out by someone who – i won’t spoil it – was probably already the world’s Most Famous Dancer in the year 2022. Windey robbed!
