[2025 PTW] MDL Recommendations
Few rules;
- Nothing over 50 episodes. They almost never work out...
- Nothing that is heavy on slapstick comedy - that's just torture for me.
- Would appreciate underrated/less known horror.
- Slice of life is always welcomed.
- Any genre is fine. Any country is fine. Both dramas and movies.
- Don't bother with checking if I saw something or nah - I will be gradually deleting titles I completed or dropped, will do all the work 😉
- Would be thankful is people actually recommended me dramas they enjoy or think I would - clown behavior with troll recommendations would be advised against 🤡
Adding titles and voting ends on 1st of January 00:00.
