List 100+
Lets try to make a list of shows, films and other programs that are worth looking up for research on a given streaming service be it youtube or one of the other ones and from there let us keep adding upon it. I am trying to make at least a hundred different ones so people (and by large extension ME) have a diverse amount of media to look at to get our inspiration or research from). Going off of what I have seen and is still on my “My List:”
1. The Great British Baking Show: Its fun, calming, and sometimes you need that after aa hard day. Lus good episodes, losts of constructive critsism, and every one in a whle the history of the type of food. You also get looks at how different people often from different cultures, sub cultures, dietary needs, and other diverse categories, get their influences from. I’ve only seen the main one, but they have a kids version, one where its all professionals, and even an American one.
2. Culinary Class Wars: I swear this won’t all be about food but the next couple might. In this case it’s a ware between a diverse group of chefs with the Michelin star chefs and the other chefs compete against each other. It’s a good look at Korean culture through its food and how they interpret other dishes such as Mexican, Western, Chinese, and Japanese cuisine ranging from the down to earth to the highest of class.
3. Nailed It: This is for when you need to feel good about yourself. Take three people that are not anywhere near the best bakers, have them attempt to copy a food masterpiece and watch them fail successfully at the task. Its all in good fun, but again if you need to feel good about your self when you think you are a failure there is this.
4. Delicious In Dungeons: I finished the first season, working on the second but its awesome. The animation is great, the dub is great, and while the fight scenes and world building are worthy of any Dungeons Master worth their weight in dice, it’s the food that sells it as it looks a lot like a lot of real world dishes.
5. I am A Killer: I have seen all but the most resent season. Each episode runs between 45 and 50 minutes, and it’s an interview with a prisoner who as the title wud implied are in prison for taking someone’s life. There are recreations of the events, long interview with the main person being interviewed, as well as detectives, friends and family related to the case such as victim’s families and more. Some stories are more tragic than others, but if you need to get into the head of someone that killed another, often in cold blood, this is a good start.
6. Avatar: The Last Airbender (cartoon): Still need to checkout the live action show, but this is pretty good. How to do fantastical world building, how to mix in real world influence such as cultures and martial arts into a fantastical world, one of the best Martial Pacifists in fiction, and basically the how to guide to redemption arks. Also despite beign a kid show, it is probably on of the best depictions of colonialism, genocide, and corup government I have seen in fiction.
7. Our Planet (I and II) A look at our world and the creatures in it. From the deep seas to the Urbaan Jungles, a look at how nature flourishes and where it still needs help. Also David Attenborough so there is that.
8. Life On Our Planet: See Our Planet and look at how life has changed over the countless millenia.
9. Our National Parks: Narrated by former president Barack Obama, a look at several national parks around the world and the wildlife in it.
10. Night on Earth: A look at the world’s night life in nature.
11. Secrets of the Neanderthal: A look at one of the ancestors of modern humans and what we now know about them.
12. Demon Slayer: Seen the first season or two, just going to get to the Train ark. But what I have seen is nothing short of spectacular in the fights. While its less literal magic coming out of the swords, its still a breathtaking sight.
13. Unsolved Mysteries: While there are still episodes on things like monsters and urban legends, a lot of episodes focus on murder mysteries or disappearances that are still unsolved.
14. 72 Dangerous: Several different shows that focus mostly on different animals (such as 72 Most Dangerous Animals: Asia or 72 Most Dangerous Animals North America) which is a good look at the animals that can cause harm and the ones we don’t’ think about being dangerous until they come charging. There is also 72 Most Dangerous Places which looks at 72 places people live in and the extreme dangers that living there has (such as an Island nation that is slowly going under water due to climate change or another town that works collecting licks of sulfur and the hazards involved in that).
15. Castlevania: How to do adult animation in the states that is not just crass sitcoms. A how to guide to visual story telling. And a how to guide to transfer a video game property to the small screen. Also one of the best renditions of Bloody Tears period. Also how to do Dracular justice.
16. Tiger King: A look at how a person with a cult of personality and a look into the mind of someone that is basically a sociopath. Definitely changed my views on taking pictures with the tigers.
17. Komi Can’t Communicate: A decent look at social anxiety in a manner that is easily digestible to the average person, and Najima is awesome.
18. Secrets of Great British Castles: A look at the history and lore of various castles on the British Isles, and thus a good look at how to maybe incorporate them into your world.
19. Evil Genius: the True Story of America’s Most Diabolical Bank Heist: This one might be a tough one to sit through, but it goes through the events of one of the most disturbing crimes in US history. A man is kidnapped and forced to wear an explosive vest and is told to go on various fetch quests to rob banks and drop the cash off at various points and is told if he does this he’ll survive. Not only does he not, the vest was rigged to not let him live. His death is disturbing; none of the pomp and circumstance you get from Hollywood explosion. If you need a look inside the mind of evil, here it is
20. Godzilla Minus One: Another remake of the big guy, this time taking us back to post WW2 Japan as it follows a Kamikazi pilot that got cold feat as he tries to rebuild his life. Living with him are a young woman and an infant girl that survived the fire bombings also trying to put their lives together. However a beast that tore up the airfield he was at comes to attack Japan, now a giant radioactive beast. In most Godzilla films we are just incidental we are in the way. This is one of the few ones where Godzilla goes out of his way to target people. Regardless if you are a G fan or not, check it out. I will warn you its in Subbed so hopefully we’ll get a dub soon.
21. The Mind of aa Cat: A look at what goes through our hairy baby’s brain.
22. A long Shot: A look at how a man falsy accused of murder proved his innocence.
23. Justice League Unlimited: If I can find Justice League here, same but it’s a good show and takes its audience serious. Plus the Episode where Flash has to have Orion and Batman babysit him because some of his rouges decide to try and kill him is one of the best.
24. How to Become a Mob Boss: With a combination of animation, interviews, and narration we look at several iconic mob bosses and how they ran their organizations and their rise and fall.
25. Rotten: A look at the food industry, usually what it does wrong. the episode on allergies is interesting as two of the people that are interviewed, a resturaint chef and owner and a scientist researcher, both have kids with allergies and want them to not suffer from it.
26. Wild Babies: A look at the baby animals in the wild
27. Jaws: Along with Star Wars were the one two punch that coined the term “Block Buster.” Its also roof that the book is not always better than then the movie adaption (to the point Spealburg said when he was reading the book he was rooting for the fish the human elements of the story was so unlikeable)
28. Murder Amng the Mormons: Probably hit me harder than most as I am of the faith but it’s a look at a man that forged documents to make it look like historical artifacts of this branch of Christianity. However when he was about to be found out he made several bobs, killed several people that were on his trail and set some off in random areas to throw the detectves off. It’s a look at how sometimes the people you least expect can be untrustworthy.
29. Forged In Fire: A competition where blacksmiths compete to make knives in a number of ways, with the final peace being a historical weapon they have to recreate. Its fun because you get to look at the forging process, as well as how different people have done it at their homes (thus a look at how it might have been done ages ago and how it could be done again say after an apocalypse). Also they go over the history of the final show piece weapon as they go over a brief history of it and where it can be seen in popular culture. Half the fun is seeing the weapons get totally destroyed as one mistake can mean the difference between a really solid piece of metal and a knife or sword that is in several.
30. Aggretsuko: Don’t let the curtsy looks and the fact its made by the Hello Kitty people. Its how to adult, the show.
31. Penguin Town: A look at a town when the local penguins of come to make their nests and take over. Its adorable mischievous and fun.
32. Mysteries of Faith: A look at relics and their history in the Christian, namely Catholic, faith.
33. High Score: The history of video games, with each episode often focusing on different aspects like generation or genre.
34. Dirty Money: Ever heard of the phrase “eat the rich?” Well this show will make it a mantra. Its all about scandles from different companies such as Volzwagon falsy saying they had clean emissions to the housing crisis.
35. Meat Eater: A hunter on his hunting and fishing trips around the world, the look at the animals featured, and how to skin and prepare them.
36. Five Came Back: A look at 5 filmmakers that chronicled the second world war and survived it.
37. The Toys that Made us: A history of various toys and defined entire generations of children from GIJOE to Barbi to HeMan, to Transformers and more.
38. John Leguizamo’s Latin History for Morons: A look at Latin history through the comic lens of John Leguizamo. You’ll learn something and you will laugh.
39. We are the Champions: A look at different competitions from around the world that seems a bit far fetch but they are fun and tradition. From chasing a wheel of cheese down a steep hill in England and trying to not get into the ER for it, to catching bull frogs and seeing which one can jump the farthest in Angel’s Camp California.
40. Earth Storm: A look at nature’s furry from tornados to hurricanes.
41. Hero: A Chinese Wire fu film that is elegant and exciting in equal measure, its also takes notes from Roshimon in that the story is told several times and you get more of the truth each time.
by Mazulla
42. Arcane - Set in a steampunk world surrounding two sisters, mostly the older sister's perspective as a child and later as an adult. Impressive world-building and amazing and impactful characters and story arcss
43. The Last Kingdom - A displaced lord grows up with the Danes, becomes accepted as one of their own, and later travels back to reclaim his title/land from his uncle. Set in the same time as the probably more popular "Vikings," but I think it's better written with stronger direction, with each season having something new to offer without fizzling out.
44. Scavengers Reign - A sci-fi bordering whimsical, imaginative and artistic with great music. A ship crashes on an unknown planet. Survivers that escaped in pods try to find help, the crashed ship, and other survivers while coping with strange and foreign plants and wildlife. The show shifts between three (four?) different perspectives as they try to survive.
45. Blue Eye Samurai - A biracial woman, Mizu, survives in Japan's Edo period dressed as a boy. She's taken on as an apprentice samurai and continues her disguise into adulthood to more easily exact revenge on four white men, one of whom is her father, who she holds responsible for her difficult life and her mother's death.

46. Alien Worlds - An educational 4-episode series useful for writers who want to develop extraterrestrial species, or really any sort of life in environments different from our own. The series imagines how alien life would develop on four fictional exoplanets by applying our universe's rules of chemistry, biology, and physics to create a realistic set of feeding, evolutionary, and reproductive tendencies for various fictional lifeforms.
47 The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House - A (somewhat idealized but better than that ditch-fire Memoirs of a Geisha) look into the daily lives of Maiko and Geisha that focus on - you guessed it - food. It's a poignant reminder of how the little things in our daily lives can be considered "art," whether it's performing a traditional Japanese dance, hanging laundry, drying out plums, or the inherent ritual of cooking a meal. I think there's a lot to be said for the direction and filming here - it's a very simple slice of daily life story, but the camera work; the pauses in dialogue; the brief shared moments between characters; even the weight of a caring silence, all make it feel like you're sitting right there watching these girls live their lives. There's never a truly empty moment.
48. Violet Evergarden - A gorgeous, heartwarming/wrenching anime about accepting loss and responsibility, recovering from trauma and grief, and learning what it means to be human. It's a beautifully paced series with realistic, impactful character development where our MC begins her healing journey through a series of fleeting human interactions, but doesn't fall into the trope of magically being fully healed and over everything by the end. She learns to smile, and for many of us, that's where we also began. It's absolutely changed the way that I write some of my characters.
(I don't recommend the last Violet Evergarden movie to be released, as it DOES fall into the age-old trope of "woman goes on a life-changing journey, becomes a fully realized individual with goals and a life path, and then gives it all up and renders the entire journey useless because of a MAN." I knew it was coming and still, I've never been so furious with a program. All her hard work, gone. Useless!)
Me again.
49Mr McMahon: A look t the history of WWF/WWE, rise and fall cycles of Vincent McMahon, a look at the industry, how to make a character that resonates with an audience, and all the controversies over the years (ranging from sexual misconduct of all levels of that phrase, to concussions).
50: Mystery oof the Terracotta Warriors: A film that looks at the restoration of the Terracotta warriors and the history of the Chin Empire and its downfall.
51: Unknown: Killer Robots: A look at the progression of AI technology, and its future in military operations, and the problems we will face due to it. It deals with the ethics, the good it can do, the horrors it an unleash, and how people on all sides of the debate feel about it.
What are some you guys like off Netflix?
Honorable Mention:
Naruto. As much as I do love the show, it is a how to guide on HOW NOT TO DO A FEMALE CHARACTER! Seriously, Sakura is the worse.

I wanna put Fleabag here, because I just finished this show, and I can't help but feel it's a brilliant piece to analyze in terms of directing, filmography, dialogue, character development, and fourth-wall breaks. BUT, from the commonsense media page: "It explores difficult concepts like death, grief, and dysfunctional relationships and features strong, raunchy sexual content," so there's a ton of MA content to sit through if someone were to try analyzing the way it's made.
I might go into other areas once we get at least 100 shows/films on Netflix. There are other platforms and I can add them here as people bring them up.
