The Wonder Years (original) had a huge effect on me growing up. Even though it's dated it really has themes for coming of age that are still current today. Or if you want charming nostalgia before the days of technology and internet, I highly recommend it. The dad in the show was very similar to mine who passed away recently. But overall it's mix of narration, use of music, and relatable situations always makes it an easy rewatch IMO.

I am pretty new to reddit, but I have never really seen many people talking about Drops of God. It's based on a Manga story I guess. But I highly recommend it for those who like unique dramas. It's very grounded, but covers three languages/cultures, makes the wine world interesting for those who might not be into it, and has a great dynamic between the two main characters.

I have watched a ton of TV series. The Nevers is one that I am most upset got canceled even though it was heading in a crazy direction. But the overall vibe of the show, great storytelling, and sci-fi grounded in reality was a ton of fun. Any other shows you feel match? Even obscure ones? If you haven't seen The Nevers I highly recommend hunting it down.

Arrival is one of my favorite movies. Without spoiling, I would love to know others suggestions for similar vibe/storytelling/emotions. Even if not in sci-fi space. Originality, suspense, payoff.
