Hulu, Netflix or Prime shows that are not-triggering for SA

What shows on Hulu, Netflix or Prime would you recommend that aren’t triggering for those with sex addiction?

I love Bosch on Prime. Castle Rock, Hard Sun on Prime and Colony on Netflix.

I used to love Daredevil in Netflix but I had to get rid of the T.V because is a trigger for me

Hmmm…not sure if this is your cup tea.

Netflix: a series of unfortunate events, dexter (I think overall in the series there are a couple sex scenes, so maybe not that one), stranger things. And maybe breaking bad.

Prime: I’ve been watching Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen nightmares.

I would add ‘shameless’ as it portrays all the negative effects of an alcoholic without any romanticising.
If you don’t want to watch anything substance related, ‘silicon valley’ is excellent

Shameless has lots of sex tho I think? Maybe I’m confusing it with something else…

Yeap, correction noted. I was only thinking of alcohol triggers, perhaps not suitable for SAs

Friday Night Lights on Netflix.

I’ve been watching the old Twin Peaks episodes on Netflix, love it. If you’re into SciFi, time to hit Star Trek. If the paranormal, I think all of Twilight Zone is still on Netflix. If you are into Marvel, Agents of Shield is worth a watch.

I watch military/ history documentary. I watch Psych with my daughter, as it’s her favorite show.

Peeky blinders

Gaia has some pretty cool documentaries. It’s like Sesame Street for adults.

GAIA was great, and has some great content, but they recently screwed over some of their top talent… David Wilcock for one. I cancelled my membership with the comment that I’d return if they started to take care of their people. Too bad too, it IS like Sesame Street for adults :wink:

Breaking bad does have a few scenes with nudity in them. One I was surprised by, the other I turned away and waited until my wife told me it was okay. I always watch shows with my wife for that reason. Also, we share all our accounts, so I’m not tempted to watch things I’m not supposed to. Otherwise, anyone who has access to the account would know that someone watched something bad.

I do recall a couple scenes in the first season of B.B., but I haven’t seen it in years, so there most definitely could be more! Thanks for sharing that though. I won’t give it as a suggestion anymore, but I do appreciate the accountability partner aspect of it :hugs:

hahahaha Thanks for that! I wasn’t aware! Now I’m curious, will have to look into that David Wilcock guy…

Tons of sex and nudity are in Shameless.

Had anyone starting watching Myans?

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is back! Season 13.
Love it.

Top Chef on Hulu. I’ve been churning through those episodes lately. Inspires me not to eat chicken nuggets every night.
