As for the rest, I wouldn't recommend anything depressing (as if there isn't enough of that in life). I, on the other hand, tried to watch more works that are as detached from reality as possible, but that's just my preference.
In any case, Google "starter set," choose something action-oriented, and then decide. Don't bother writing detailed guides for yourself or stressing too much about it; you'll just waste time and have a negative experience.
