I’m not sure how much you like Star Wars, but even for someone who may not be to into it, Andor has been an incredible show. Great intertwining plot lines, good action, good suspense and tension, and has decently leftist commentary and spin on how decrepit a fascist Empire is under its shiny coats of paint.

Atlanta is a show by Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) which is really great. Not exactly anti-capitalist (Glover was born rich sadly, and it definitely shows at points in a lot of his art, but I still highly respect him as an artist across the board) but takes some deep dives into portions of Black American culture and racial issues in America to a level I’ve never really seen a show take. Plus it’s fun, inventive with surreality, hilarious and emotional. Definitely feel it doesn’t get the attention it deserves but I could see it being very difficult for a normie white audience to digest comfortably, it definitely cuts deeper than the usual tepid liberal race commentary.

I’m sure several people have seen BoJack Horseman. I could see it as a love-it-or-hate-it type thing but I love it.

Season 1 Episode 2 of Black Mirror is hands down the best anti-capitalist critique I’ve ever seen on television, hands down. The first 4 seasons IMO are all really good, albeit bitterly dark and lean capitalist-realism sometimes moreso than anticapitalist allegory. By the last season the show was co-opted completely by capital but still worth a watch if you’re into it (which is deeply ironic if you watch S1E2).

The only explicitly communist movie I have seen is Come and See , which is older. Movie-wise, I normally gravitate to arthouse horror, dramas, period pieces, and the occasional mix of most everything else.

I have not seen many live sitcoms–at least not ones that I can widely tell the difference. My “comfort TV” is usually documentaries or Naruto. My partner convinces me to watch murder investigation/true crime and reality TV with her sometimes, the former functions to me like documentaries (the new Dahmer was good, and also pretty based) and the latter functions as a safari for me into insanity (I had a good laugh gambling on personalities and fun time psychoanalyzing stuff from Bad Girl’s Club to Are You The One? , latter which is probably similar to “Love is Blind” and which has an LGBTQ+ season if that is of interest). We also will on rare occasion watch free live TV because it is 1) propaganda so thick you can cut it with a knife, 2) completely deranged otherwise, and 3) glitches out frequently creating laughs and horror alike.

Since you like anime, I have not seen very many animes but if I really like Attack on Titan and Cowboy Bebop.

As a fair warning many of these shows are very dark as to be potentially concerning if one was in a bad mental state, particularly IMO Black Mirror and Attack on Titan. A lot of these might also be hard to follow while doing chores, but that’s also coming from someone who, if they are going to be watching TV, wants to pick up every small detail.

I’m sure I’ve seen a great show or three besides these but off the top of my head these would be my best recommendations that aren’t massively popular shows we are all already familar with (Breaking Bad, Squid Game, etc. etc.).

Severance is pretty good. Currently only one season has come out but it has some anti-capitalist messaging and an interesting premise of people basically having a surgery that technologically splits their brain when they’re at work and when they’re not.

if you’ve never watched Succession it’s so good

Close Enough may well be the funniest series that I’ve seen, and it’s the reason that I became interested in The Regular Show. The bases of these series sound mundane at first, but it’s impressive how creative the stories end up being and how meaningful the resolutions can be.

Infinity Train is more serious, but it’s also wonderfully imaginative. The characters overcome their difficulties through series of virtual worlds that manifest their problems in subtle ways, and it actually uses the flaws in its own concept to write stories about some characters exploiting them and causing more challenges for others.

None of these is ‘communist’, but some episodes do have (possibly unconscious) anticapitalist implications if you think about them.

Since you mentioned movies, I’d like to recommend Lion of the Desert, which, while arguably a little too lengthy, feels like a masterpiece in every other way and just knowing that you watched it would delight me. It is my favourite film of all time and it’s easy to find on websites like YouTube. If you aren’t too squeamish and haven’t seen it yet, please consider it.

Means TV, I haven’t seen anything on it but I know of a few things on there that might be decent like ‘papa and boy’

The Boys. Cabinet of Curiosities, The Leftovers, Wednesday, Sandman, Invincible, Boardwalk Empire…

Sorry to bother you is a great one, someone probably mentioned it already but it’s a great movie
