I'm looking for series to learn English. I haven't found anything suitable yet.
The best would be episodes of 20 minutes (not necessarily, but very good, as I don't have that much time every day). It would also be ideal with self-contained episodes so that it doesn't matter if you don't understand something and are not constantly building on it. It should also be best available on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
I started with Friends, which brings all aspects together, but doesn't match my interests. So in general I don't think sitcoms are that great. And I don't like shows like Spongebob, American Dad and Southpark either.
Otherwise it can be anything from animated children's series, thriller, comedy, documentary, anime or horror. Usually demanding, but please don't forget that I want to learn English along the way.
(I usually like to watch superhero series like Flash, when it comes to animes, I'm totally into Hunter x Hunter, horror rather psychologically exciting - slasher rather less, comedies please no pee-kaka-man-humor.)
You will have to find what you like for yourself. So easy. If you reject everything, there will simply be nothing for you. If all you have to do is learn English, everything that has to do with English will always be a horror for you. Then first learn the basics and maybe reading books would be easier for you because you can google every new word.
If you want to learn English, it might be a good idea to simply watch series that you have already seen in German again in English. Then you already know that you like the series and it doesn't matter if you don't understand something.
Otherwise maybe something like Brooklyn 99? Short episodes and mostly independent of each other
In addition, it might be good if you look for something with subtitles, especially if you are not yet 100% sure, it can be very helpful to be able to follow better
