Indirectly asking for recommendations on what to watch.
Resident Alien
Seconding this one. I went into it knowing absolutely nothing about the show, except the name of one of the actors, and boy did it pay off.
I’m really anal about spoilers, to the point where I consider even trailers to be spoilers. This has resulted in watching a lot of shitty stuff (dishonorable mention: Valhalla Rising), but now and then it results in pure unadulterated surprise and enjoyment.
Other shows and movies I liked after going into them completely blind:
The Prestige
Chernobyl (although basic history knowledge had already spiled the plot for me)
The 4400 (highly underrated)
Breaking Bad (recommended by a coworker who was scarce on details)
EDIT: Moon
Have you seen Cabin in the Woods? It’s also one that is best seen with no idea what it is. And it is amazing.
You convinced me to stop reading your comment after “and boy did it pay off” and add it to my queue.
I’ll come back and finish reading your comment after I’ve finished the show (so far).
You can safely keep on reading. The rest of my comment is unrelated to the show.
