Friday Night Lights if you loved those two! Same team.


OP here. I loved Friday Night Lights.


OP, we have similar tastes. I highly recommend:

Offspring (don't let the pilot put you off-- it is not very good)
Somebody Somewhere
Pernille
Brothers and Sisters
Felicity
The Fosters
Andor

Big little lies if you didn’t watch that when it aired

That’s what came to my mind too! I was so pleasantly surprised by this one.
Also
Six Feet Under
Your Friends and Neighbors
Somebody Somewhere(funny but drama enough)

I LOVED Six Feet Under and Somebody Somewhere. I was totally underwhelmed by Your Friends and Neighbors and I loved that cast.

These aren't exactly family fare, but some of the best dramas on TV:

Breaking Bad
The Leftovers
The Bear (some say it's a comedy, but it's more tragi-comic IMO).

For All Mankind is more family friendly and also a great series (Apple)

I’m watching the Norwegian drama Pernille on Netflix now. It’s about a late 40s divorced child welfare worker, her two kids, and her dad, who has newly come out. It is dubbed in English on Netflix.

I have similar taste as OP since I loved both This is Us and Parenthood.

Thanks. Is it easy to follow? Or rather easy to get into?



Yes it’s super easy to get into and also has one of the best intro episodes of all time. The subject matter can be dark though and there is a lot of violence. But you won’t be bored or need a PhD to understand wth is going on.


Just watched the first episode. Thanks for the suggestion!!
