Farscape
Second! Farscape is amazing.
More like a miniseries, but HBO’s Chernobyl. Some of the best television I’ve ever seen.
I’ve not owned a TV since 2006 and never watch series yet I’ve seen Chernobyl and would recommend
What We Do In The Shadows - I still need to watch the last season
Wellingon Paranormal - A spin-off of the What We Do In The Shadows movie.
Letterkenny
Corner Gas. - Kinda old school, but very charming and hilarious.
15 Stories High - Peak Sean Locke - It’s on YouTube
Garth Marengi’s Dark Place - Also on YouTube
Well, Breaking Bad is already on here and its really good. But to me Better Call Saul is one of, it not the best shows out there. Also doing the whole chronology:
Better Call Saul till the middle of S6 > Breaking Bad > Rest of Better Call Saul > El Camino
Really slaps.Other than that The Leftovers is quite an underappreciated piece of Television. It simply delivers 3 Season increasingly weird and intriguing and then its just finished.
I also really enjoyed Station 11 bit of a different take on a Post Apocalyptic World and a great miniseries
The Leftovers… have tissues to hand 😭
"I’m sitting on the railway station got a ticket to my destination … " 🎵
Mr Robot. So many twists and turns, and had me absolutely fascinated from start to finish
(Staying spoiler friendlyish) My absolute favorite little bit in Mr. Robot is the thing that they do the thing on 5/9. In the IT infrastructure world “five nines” means 99.999% uptime/availability, which means you have less than five and a half minutes of downtime a year.
I am surprised that I’m the first to mention Bojack Horseman here.
This series is for you if you want to cry out your mental health problems
As someone who had depression and watched the show as it came out: IT IS NOT HEALTHY FOR YOUR DEPRESSION. It is however an excellent representation of it.
- True detective (season 1)
- Small axe
- Band of brothers
- The wire
Edit: typo
Did you mean Small Axe? Or is there a different series I’m not aware of?
Yes, that was a typo
These are all masterpieces in their own right with little to no bad episodes:
Cowboy Bebop
Dark
Arcane
Andor
Firefly
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Bojack Horseman
Fleabag
FLCL
Chernobyl
Reservation Dogs
Future Boy Conan
Fallout
Severence
Harley QuinnYour two anime picks are Cowboy Bebop and… Future Boy Conan!?
Ngl, didn’t know anyone else even knew that series existed.
FLCL demoted to not-anime 😢
But yeah it’s an awesome series that pioneers a lot of Miyazaki’s ideas for future movies. My discord icon has always been Lepka
I would watch the Apple TV show Silo. Amazing show
- Black Mirror
- Dexter (all 3 series)
- The Venture Bros.
- Lovecraft Country
- Luther

Must be my lemmy client (Jerboa). Going to re-edit.
Looks good to me now. Also good choice with Lovecraft Country. I hadn’t seen that mentioned elsewhere. It’s a bit of a hidden gem.

Does Pluribus “get better”? I’m maybe 4-5 EPs in and it’s not grabbing me. It could be because the main character is insufferable (power to her, Rhea is a great actor)? Anyway does it “get good”?
It’s a slow burn and doesn’t get any faster.
Same goes for the main character’s character development. It’s there, but it’s quite subtle.
Yes. By ep 4 or 5 there are subtle hints of her character developing into… Something else? Not sure what but her edges are beginning to be softened.
To me it got good by the first episode so I can’t relate. I didn’t find the main character insufferable either she seemed to be the only one reacting to the whole situation normally in my opinion
Interesting! Nah, insufferable :P I thought the character that was living like a Saudi Sheikh was acting the most sane. Give me a private jet, food from all over the world, entertainment… Make the best of a bad situation.
Guess that’s where our morales and beliefs differ because to me he seems very creepy in how he’s taking advantage of everyone taken over by the virus. It may be a nice fantasy to be able to do what he’s doing but to me that should stay a fantasy and not be something to actually want or empathise with.
Andor
Fallout
Psych
Frasier
MASH
Stargate Universe
Battlestar Galactica
The Body Problem
Foundation
You didn’t specify how old
The mash intro is engraved in my mind…it was how I knew i was up too late as a kid
Foundation and Andor are such great series.
Six Feet Under, True Detective (Season 1).
Six feet under is amazing. Other than the first season not being in HD, highly memorable show and probably the best finale ever.
Agreed.
Anyone who is reading this and hasn’t watched, it’s absolutely worth your time. The whole series is excellent.
Andor is the best piece of Star Wars media and the best TV show I’ve ever seen. You don’t need to like Star Wars. I don’t know if seeing Star Wars would even increase your enjoyment. I think seeing Rogue One would probably be good but otherwise just jump in. No space wizards or laser swords or destiny or whatever. It’s so adult and grounded. I can’t believe Disney let them make this.
Andor is a great show and an anarchist manifesto and a deep and undeniably timely study of the mechanisms of empire. Andor isn’t like other Star Wars media where the good guys and the bad guys both seem really cool. It shows the empire as something really shitty, and its agents as deeply sad, dysfunctional people who are essentially also its victims.
I’ve heard this over and over. But I can’t justify a Disney+ subscription no matter what content they have.
Don’t worry, main character is a smuggler. Fine to pirate.
more than a smuggler. Cassian Andor manages to infiltrate so much precisely because he is a high-value thief
No love for Archer? Witty, profane, great animation/artwork, one writer/creator carrying the whole show, and eponymous lead voiced by H. Jon Benjamin. What am I missing?
Not nearly enough love for Andor? Season 2, episodes 7, 8, and 9 showcase some of the most compelling sequences on TV. Diego Luna, a man under enormous pressure ready to come apart at the seams, run by master manipulator Stellan Skarsgård. Andy Serkis. Forrest Whittaker. Empire baddies Denise Gough and Ben Mendelssohn. Best Star Wars offerings outside the original trilogy screenplays hands down. Fight me.
Nor for my most embarrassing and guiltiest pleasure Downton Abbey? Plus two full length feature sequels? Come now.
I’d recommend giving Sealab 2021 and Home Movies a try if you like Archer
Sealab is a hoot, a testbed for the hilarity that would ensue with writer and voice pro Adam Reed’s Archer.
Unfamiliar with Home Movies; suppose that’ll need to change. I see it also features H. Jon Benjamin, which is really all I need to know.
