people sometimes ask "oh, how'd you know you're neurodivergent?"
well you see susan, most people don't enjoy watching dozens of seasons of shows from the 2000s in which smart white guys get told they're wrong the whole episode, and then get proven right because they are, as previously stated, very smart.

okey so i need some tv recs for this hiatus 911 fan overall procedure fans i guess that's all the vibe i can think of to ask lol so hit me with your recs
EXCELLENT! So glad you’ve come to me Nonnie. I am honored. This is in no particular order but in terms of general procedurals with similar 911 vibes I’ve got a couple:
1. Sirens
It’s about a paramedic team in Chicago and it’s fucking hilarious. We're talking laugh out loud can still quote it from memory hilarious. There’s two seasons and each episode is about 25 minutes so it’s easy to get through. There is a British counterpart that is also funny but it’s definitely a different tone for sure.
**If you were a fan of Arrow then you'll recognize Josh Segarra
***Also you can scream with me and @lucydonato about the show
2. ER
I always describe 911 to people as ER for first responders. Part of that is because it’s so episodic. It gets really melodramatic at times and there are a LOT of story lines but for the most part the general stakes keep to one episode at a time and the show gives you permission to let things go which is nice. I’m a fan of the earlier seasons as opposed to the later seasons but Angela Bassett is in the last season. Lots of great guest spots and very character driven.
**Characters do die in this show so be aware of MCD warnings. No one is safe in that show. Except maybe Noah Wylie but that's cus it's Noah Wylie.
3. Numb3rs
It’s an awesome crime procedural with a twist on it. The oldest brother, Don, is an FBI agent who has his baby brother, Charlie, help him solve crime using math. This show has all the tropes too. Brother relationship, found family, etc etc.
4. Psych
It’s a procedural with a much lighter tone. Shawn pretends to be psychic and solves crime. It’s chaotic and messy and wonderful and perfect.
**Gives me coming home from the pool and vegging on the couch summer vibes.
5. Castle
On the same side of the coin, it’s another procedural with a twist. Castle is a successful mystery novelist who helps solve crime. Nathan Fillion for those fans of The Rookie and there's a lot powerful female characters in it.
6. Murder, She Wrote
MSW walked so that Castle could run. This is an oldie but a good. Angela Lansbury is a mystery writer who solves crime. It’s super cool knowing that she insisted on hiring a lot of older guest stars so that they could continue to be in the union and get their benefits. Also omg the 80s/90s wardrobe. There's also a couple of episodes with other detectives and crime solvers when Angela started to get tired carrying the weight of quality television on her shoulders.
7. Drop Dead Diva
THIS is such a good law procedural. It has the added bonus as having the same casting director as 911 so you’ll see a lot of familiar faces. But Deb is a model who died and got reincarnated in the body of a plus size lawyer named Jane and it’s the most wonderful little nugget that just existed in its own space. It was SO ahead of it's time on certain issues and it deals with a variety of topics such as body shaming, slut shaming, mental health, etc in such a kind and compassionate and positive way.
**Gives me late summer 'I haven't moved from the couch and omg it's season three' vibes
8. Scorpion
A team of geniuses (with neurodivergent representation in action genre scenarios) who help solve crime and crisis situations for homeland security. Lots of found family feelings! SO MANY! Big time character driven show.
9. White Collar
A white collar criminal agrees to help solve crime with the FBI agent who arrested him. Neal is so whumpable and it's one of the few times I've seen a fandom really embrace the idea of a poly relationship in fanon? Idk I wasn't really in it but the fics I saw all seemed to agree that no one would complain if Peter, Neal, and Elizabeth all lived happily ever after with their golden retriever. NOW, I will say this is a Jeff Eastin show and he has a tendency to take the amazing female characters in the show, throw them in a blender, and then bring them back as Frankenstein's monster bride and act like he didn't just ruin their character and it drives me fucking insane. BUT those first couple of seasons are fantastic.

I saw your NUMB3RS gifset and ngl i thought it was Goncharov.
This just in: Goncharov (1973) was really Numb3rs, Trust Metric (2007) this whole time.
#but only the rare black and white version#the colorized version was substantially changed by ridley scott prior to airing as part of the early 2000s drama series#red is right#thanks for the ask!#redwinterroses#numb3rs#goncharov

I have a fixation on old TV series and there is one that, because of the fandom and its incredible stories, I have developed a special affection for. But for about 3 years now there's been no one writing anything...everyone abandoned it :( and now there are only new A/B fics which aren't really my taste since the series is about 2 brothers. So, imagine my happiness upon finding more than 30 (old) fics that I've never read. Oh this is going to be wonderful 😍 #numb3rs

Thinking about therapy in fiction and this one episode of the early 2000s show, Numb3rs where Don is forced to go to therapy for reasons which are only tangentially important, and the show could have done the tired "put the character in therapy so we make them relive their trauma for views" or "character has therapy only to realize through outside forces that they don't need it" or worse, "horrible crackpot therapist abuses character and/or turns out to be a psychopath."
But they Didn't. And instead you get Don being Extremely Reluctant to be in therapy or deal with his (many) issues or any of that mushy garbage but he's up against A Real Pro of a counselor (impeccably played by Wendell Pierce) who just makes him talk and the pinnacle of this whole situation is that the main conversation lasts an entire episode (intercut with the rest of the characters handling that week's action, but in ways relevant to the conversation, like we're talking deep narrative parallelism here and Don is the freaking narrator) with Don becoming increasingly frustrated at having his thoughts and feelings pulled out of him when his team needs him at work, while making revelation after revelation about himself, until Pierce's character staidly declares, "You're not worried that your team will fall apart when you're not there, you're afraid that they won't." LIKE???!
AND THEN we have a Don who not only takes all this stuff he just worked out to heart, but He Isn't Magically Fixed And Fine and so he chooses to continue going to therapy long-term and it becomes part of his normal life in a casual, off-screen function, and you see him slowly blossom because of it AND THIS WAS NOT APPRECIATED ENOUGH BUT GOSH I LOVE THAT WHOLE JOURNEY.
#ragamusings#numb3rs#don eppes#therapy in fiction#i have no idea why i was thinking about this episode today but#i have feelings#it was a great show tbh#anyways#idk if narrative parallelism is the right term but it was the closest i could think of
