Could anime be to your liking? There is a LOT of good stuff out there, no matter what kinda story you are interested in, many of which simply wouldn't be made at all in the west.

yeah, lots of shows are pretty much "wait until the season has been finished, then binge it" for me.

I wouldn't know where to begin with anime... there could be some of it which is great for me, but most anime is probably not for me.

Thats fair. Any genres you find interesting? Any specific story structure? Target age? I can probably list some that may strike your fancy.

But yeah, I can definitely see/understand not liking most/any anime.

I do like science fiction, particularly of the Star Trek style. I'm less into the Aliens (action/horror) stuff and more into fantasy/exploration stuff. Adventure in general is nice. Conflict is expected (as that's part of any plot), but I don't enjoy shows of inevitable doom usually (although Melancholia was good).

I also like comedy - British, American, southern American. I'm rewatching My Name Is Earl now. I enjoyed Trailer Park Boys for a while. Blackadder was fantastic.

I don't mind some violence, but that shouldn't be the focus. Likewise I don't mind sex (explicit or not) as long as that isn't the point of the show.

Gratuitous, over-the-top violence (modern Tarantino films) are very much not my interest.

I think planetes could be to your liking. It is about a group of people whose job it is to clean space debris [1]

In terms of fantasy/exploration, I'd go with Made in abyss [2], altough that one gets rather dark at times.

For comedy, I think angel beats [3] may be an option. Altough, love is war is probably a better fit.

As a personal highlight, I really like great pretender [5]

And of course, I forgot to add Konosuba [6], which at a glance strikes me as somewhat similar to trailer park boys (altough, havent seen that show)

I specifically focused on seinen, or aimed at adults, shows, rather than shounen, which are aimed at young boys, in this list.

Thanks kindly for the suggestions. I'll check some of them out.
