Good TV Shows to Watch?
Like the title says, does anyone have any good TV show reccomendations? I started watching Voltron to cover up my show hole from Race to the Edge that I have been eternally stuck in, (and Miraculous Ladybug too, but with the current release schedule, that things a bust), and then Trollhunters to get out of the Voltron show hole. Trollhunters was absolutley amazing (and if anyone wants to talk about it more than message me and I can rant about how good the ending was) but it left me in even more of a show hole. And the school years starting up, and last year I had RttE Season 5 to keep me going but since we don't have a new season this year (or ever) I need suggestions.
So yeah, if anyone has any shows to suggest or you really like, let me know, maybe also a brief plot synopsis if you could too. :) The type of shows that I like are like the ones listed above, you know, action and adventure and at least one shippable couple because its me. I also like the office, stranger things, harry potter, and star wars, so if that helps too than there you go.

I love Trollhunters! ^^ It's my favorite show. Anyway, I have one suggestion, but the show actually isn't out yet. It's called 3 Below, and it's a companion show to Trollhunters, featuring some new characters, as well as some old, such as Eli, Steve, Toby and AAARRRGGHH!!!. It'll be coming out sometime this year, probably in December. Also, after 3 Below will be a final installment in the Tales of Arcadia universe, called Wizards. As I understand it, Wizards will kind of tie Trollhunters and 3 Below together, so we might get to see Jim and the others again! Anyway, if you want to rant and hype with me, go ahead and PM me! ^^ I'm open for it! :D

There's a fun, quirky series called Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street that I really like. It's not exactly up the same alley as the shows you mentioned, which are action/adventure kids' animated, but you might enjoy it.
It's a live-action, 3-season-long kids' show about three young teens (I think they start out at age 12ish) who live on a place called Normal Street. In each episode, something weird happens (magic? maybe. we don't know. just general weirdness okay XD) and they have to figure it out or stop the effects. It's episodic without much of an overarching plot, but the continuity is good and the concepts it explores are tons of fun. Some of the episodes are a little bit tearjerking. My personal favorite is in the third season, where they go into an old mansion for a Clue-type roleplaying party with some friends and accidentally get stuck in their characters until proven innocent of the theft. It's available on Amazon Prime, or on those third-party streaming sites. I could get you a link.
Also, if you think you might like it I recommend watching at least 3 episodes. The pilot is fine but the actors get better further in. I dunno if it's what you're looking for, but if you end up checking it out I'd like to hear what you think, positive or negative!
I've also been watching Big Hero 6: The Series, which isn't completely true to the movie but it's entertaining.
OOH. I don't know if you're into Spider-Man, but the series Spectacular Spider-Man is better than most of the movies, IMO. It's a ton of fun.
Edit
*Disclaimer: I suck at synopses. The shows are probably way better than I make them sound*
All of these are animated show kids show with similar ratings to Voltron and RttE.

Okay it is a podcast and not a tv show but like hear me out because this is one of the most underappreciated masterpieces of literature/creative media of our age.
It's called The Adventure Zone: Balance, and pretty much three brothers and their dad play Dungeons and Dragons, it's written and DM'd by the youngest brother Griffin so you get those quality family teases and stuff.
It's listed as a 'Comedy Podcast', but if you do what I did and listen to all 69 episodes in two weeks flat, it will absolutely destroy you and render your emotional self an exhaughsted wreck. It's a great experience, even if you will have to pause it and go scream about the fact that Griffin Just Did That.
I honestly physically cannot reccomend it enough because most people are turned off by it being an audio medium and done through DnD, but there are transcripts on the wiki of the entire campaign, and hundreds of animations of bits and pieces.
You want representation? How about a g.ay main character, a late-game trans, and non-binaries. Shippables? You'd better believe it! Action and adventure? I mean aside from adventure being in the name, when they aren't doing goofs they're doing some epic fight scenes. Griffin's commentary is extremely visual, so it's all hott stuff.
One thing tho- you have to be okay with swearing, dirty jokes, and elevators. They have finished making the first season, the Balance Campaign, and are currently making Amnesty, so content is still being produced- meaning if you do get into it, and when you do finish it, it's not actually completely done.
Avatar: The Last Airbender and Avatar: The Legend of Korra were created by the Voltron showrunners. Check them out if you haven't already but I'm sure you've already seen them as they predate Voltron quite a bit. It's not on Netflix though, and judging from what you've watched I'm guessing you're using Netflix.
A Series of Unfortunate Events-- live action, but very good, Gravity Falls, One Punch Man, Bojack Horseman (the latter doesn't contain much action, but still good)
Not sure about shippable characters though. It's still an aspect of fandom I don't understand :þ
Gravity falls, Avatar the last airbender/Legend of Korra, Young justice and Steven Universe are the show of the same calibur that I can think of (and recommended) with the mention of stuff like voltron, trollhunter and ladybug. Gravity falls and Steven universe are a little slice-of-life/episodic at the start though until the stories get pretty intense later on but if you wish for something full on action adventure like trollhunter and voltron then Avatar and Korra is pretty much right up that alley. I haven't watched Young justice for a big while now though so i'm not sure if I can still recommend it but I think it's pretty good even if you know not much about DC.
there's also Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood, Mob psycho 100 and My hero academia which are anime, I know, but I think they're pretty universal and a lot of casual non anime watcher wathced them too, I think? I mean most anime are these days, they're pretty mainstream now but eh these three, I highly recommend them. They're pretty fit in that action adventure with shippable couple you are looking for and pretty much the same genre as those show you've mentioned but I think the biggest difference between these and western cartoon are that anime tends to be more violent. So there're warning for violent, blood and broken bones and injuries especailly Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood which is pretty gory now that I think about it. so be warned on all three(mob and my hero are tamer though but still have some blood and violent)
Live action?...hmm I could recommend Doctor who and Dirk Gently? Dirk gently is very very good and I highly recommend it but it's very gory with lots of violent death. Doctor who's more family-friendly but it varied in quality depending on season so I can't fully recommend it plus it's long...50 years and even New Who already have 10 season and people will recommend differently wish season you could start from if you don't want to do all 10. For me the starting point are either from season 1 to all or season 5 onward since it changes characters and writers(I think season 10 can be a starting point too if you want only 12 episode but there'll still be quite a few reference to the past episodes but bill as a character is a pretty good starting point for new viewer I think)
there's also game? I think some games are as emotional invested as show if not more if you find the right player and video to watch from, it can even be episodic since they're separated in parts.
Poldark!
Full of action (so long as you don't mind a bit of romance)!
It's rated a 12 though by the way but it's on Netflix. :)
