Thanks for the question, Agatha. Love that that genre is your jam. These aren't perfect analogues to Fleischman, but in terms of tone, I think you might like these series: Catastrophe (Amazon Prime), Better Things (Hulu), Severance (Apple TV+), and Station Eleven (HBO). And if you've seen all of them already, we can discuss others! In terms of movies, I found The Fabelmans to be a very moving and personal portrayal of family complexity. And it's a story about a young person's fascination with moving images, which I think you can relate to; I certainly did.

Loved Fleishman! Any other introspective, depressing series/ movies you recommend? Apparently that's my jam

I loved the book version of Fleishman but I watched one episode of the series and found it so depressing I have not gone back ! Will give it another try

I get that. Because it can be a lot of feelings, it might be a tougher binge rather than watching on Hulu's one-per-week release cadence. You're probably already watching Abbott Elementary, but if not, I recommend it for a little more humor in your TV diet.
