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. We previously programmed this as a weekly movie column, but will be moving that version to monthly with more, non-movie recommendation threads coming your way week over week. 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.

Lately I’ve been gravitating towards classic TV, sitcoms, thrillers, and the onslaught of new TV releases lately.
Last week I was on vacation, so it was a relatively light week of watching as I was out and about. Some things I’ve really loved lately have been Challengers (play this at the club), Everybody’s in L.A., and Cheers (trying to fill in some classic TV gaps). But recently I’ve also watched: Under the Bridge, Hacks, Elsbeth, Dragnet (just some 1950s episodes for now; I’m working through a TV syllabus chronologically), Abbott Elementary, Kaiju No. 8, Delici
