None Romance Shows I Want to Watch
Most of my PTW list is romance, but sometimes I want something different, but when looking through my PTW list it can be difficult to find non romance. To make it easier for myself, I've created this list of non romantic shows or movies, not including variety shows. I'm probably missing some but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Feel free to add recommendations in the comment section.
