Looking for a good TV show or Movie thats good for background noise while I work that you don't really need to pay much attention to other than a few quick glances.

Shows that are pretty dialog heavy and reality shows tend to work really well.

Bonus points if its on Netflix

Just put on some Stranger Things

Family Guy, The Simpsons, prettty much 90% of animated sitcoms.

^ those shows are very visual gag focused tbh.

Idk about Netflix since I have hulu and amazon prime, but what I watch for those reason is; kitchen nightmare, hoarders, shark tank, catfish, 2020 (sometimes), idiot abroad, house, who the (bleep) did I marry?, fbi files, life's too short, cbsnews.com/live, defunctland (youtube), and thats all I can think of off the top of my head

On Netflix, pretty much any sitcom, particularly older ones that don't rely as much on visuals. Frasier and Cheers are personal favorites. In a different vein, there's a fuckload of WWII docuseries that make good background noise if you're into that.

For me personally, Dirty Money has been a good series when I'm just doing whatever. Dunno if it's dialogue heavy though.

food network

How It's Made would be my go to for a TV to use as background noise.

Ed Edd n Eddy.

Anything on the Home Repair/Home Building network. Either that or anything in MTV.

How it's Made.

OP you need podcasts for this rather than TV. Pick a subject area you like and go nuts.

Watch out for that Kool-Aid though. Stay sceptical and learn the hosts' biases. I listen to wrestling podcasts and more or less all the hosts have different tastes from me, so one does need to separate that from the in-jokes.
