We love movie recommendations here at Polygon. But we also love recommending TV shows. Whether it’s horror, sci-fi, miniseries, comedy, thrillers, or just the best of the year, we’re always trying to introduce readers to new and exciting shows they’ll love. And now — after much movie to-do — we want to find the perfect TV show for you. (We mean you.)
That’s why we have this regular open thread dedicated to helping you, our dear readers, find the perfect watch. Looking for a limited series that will tell a self-contained story with questions that linger with you forever? We’ve got you. Looking to find the next best sitcom to watch so you can branch out from the sitcom you’ve been looping? We’ve got you there too.
From 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT, I will be in the comments section down below answering your questions and fielding requests for what you should watch. This is also a great place to share what you’ve been watching, if you want to talk about that with your fellow Polygon readers! Participation is very welcome, even without questions.
A little bit about me, your curator for this go round: I’m Joshua Rivera, Polygon’s entertainment writer. I’m extremely omnivorous in my media diet, and what I’m into can vary pretty wildly depending on when you ask me. While a lot of my time is taken up keeping up with new releases, I’ve been revisiting a bunch of stuff from what I call “the box set era” — shows that were huge on DVD, like Lost, Supernatural,The Sopranos, and so forth.
I tend to be on the road a lot in the summer, where it’s easier to read or game than it is to watch stuff, but if you want a bit of a mood board from me right now it would look something like this: Scavengers Reign, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes,I Saw the TV Glow(which has also spurred a sporadic Buffy the Vampire Slayer rewatch), Sugar (I am Polygon’s No. 1 Sugar Fan), and Layla Martinez’s beautifully angry and haunting novel Woodworm.
I bring this up because I love pairing things across media.
