admittedly this is kinda basic but Devilman Crybaby. Its gut-wrenching. It makes me cry. Its got hopelessly romantic themes but mostly in a disturbing sort of way, rather than a wholesome rom-com (which i usually hate lol). chefs kiss!!

The Wire is one of those shows that portray the detective work with different approaches. They also show brilliant criminal minds, leadership and organization. There are bits of heroism in some rogue characters, too. The political and juducial aspects of organized crime are unashamedly put in front of you. Acting and writing are top-notch. It's just a must watch if you like TV shows.
BTW, great picks Severance and The Expanse, however, the latter had so many problems to find enough financial support that ends up showing on the screen. Being said that, the show is awesome in a Battlestar Galactica way to make things happen no matter the circumstance.
What We Do In The Shadows and Letterkenny.
Happy Endings
Halt and Catch Fire: It's a really cool drama about a group of very different people, who come together because of one shared goal, and then everyone following their own desires - more or less burning bridges and rebuilding them over 4 seasons of the show.
- The Wire
- Breaking Bad
- The Blacklist, although it got ridiculous.
- Sherlock BBC Benedict Bundersnatch
- Better Call Saul
- The Ozarks
- Succession
- Severance
I've watched every one of those shows, except the Blacklist, and would agree that they are my favorite shows.
I guess I should watch The Blacklist.
Itβs not amazing but the main character has such charisma that you can take the ever more extravagant plot lines.
Westworld (Season 1). The other seasons are good and have great moments but season 1 is special.
Yeah season 1 was so good, it got worse after which is a shame
Dark
- This is the most intricate show ever. The Sistine Chapel of TV
The Wire
- The most real and relevant show. Much more than just a cop show. I would say this is the best bit of TV ever.
Colin From Accounts
- Hilarious. Kind of insane. First 5 minutes and I can't believe what just happened. Makes me want to visit Australia.
Dude, the casting in Dark absolutely blew my fuckin mind, choom. I donβt want to spoil the plot in the seasons after the first by telling people who havenβt seen it what I mean, but if youβve seen it you know exactly what I mean.
It's sooooo good. Young/old Noah. Young/old Boris. So many amazing examples.
I absolutely loved Dark and followed it for most of the run. However, I haven't watched the last season yet. Is it good?
Yes.
Cool. Iβll watch it.
Yes
Cool. Iβll watch it.
Over the Gardenwall
The first and ONLY season of Altered Carbon. I love the dystopian cyberpunk sci-fi film noir style.
My top 5 is :
Arcane Mr. Robot Breaking Bad The Good Place Stranger Things
God I love Mr. Robot. It's not perfect, but it stays my all time favourite show for good reasons. It's hard to hype it to someone though, because a lot of the ways I would describe why it's good would be spoilers π«

I'm so excited for severance season 2. I can't fathom how they could recreate the perfection of season 1 but I have my hopes up regardless
Avatar The Last Airbender. An animated series with a complete story arch that takes place in a unique world. The characters are very relatable and have great development over time, even the villians are better than what most shows have. The animation is sophisticated in the way it is used to help tell the story, and the story is wonderful, it hooks you in from the intro:
"*Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world."
This show truly deserves all the praise. My older brother used to watch it back in its time, and I couldn't understand how a 30-ish year old could watch cartoons like that.
15 years passed and someone recommends it. One day, while recovering from some cold in bed, I put Avatar out of boredom, some days after that recommendation. Damn. First couple of chapters are not very strong, but enough to keep digging. As these are short episodes, it really doesn't matter. But the ending of the first season? That is art.
Hell, the villains have more character development than protagonists in other shows.
Also Uncle Iroh, it possibly the greatest male role model in TV.

Didnβt see it mentioned yet so iβll shout out:
Devs.
Super super good sci-fi mystery series relating to quantum theory that introduced some β¦ moral quandaries that stick with you. I dont see it talked about much but I really enjoyed it. Nick Offerman plays the main βbad guyβ and it was a jarring but refreshing role change, kinda like John Goodman in the second cloverfield movie. God Damn he killed it.
I also loved Devs. Great soundtrack too.
Batman: The Animated Series
Unique art style (it was drawn on black paper), excellent writing, excellent voice acting.

You want The Good Place
Yup, a lot of great shows are being thrown around, but a good place captures everything you want - growing friendships and relationships, unravelling weirdness, and being a part of the team.
Regular show
Its just so fun to watch and I am glad someone archived all of the episodes in the best quality

Futurama!
Expanse was great. Firefly was also great. A good series about relationships was NightSky, sort of a slower paced show about an elderly couple with a hint of SCI-FI.
If you liked The Expanse, check out For All Mankind.
It feels almost like a prequel, set a couple of hundred years before the events in the series.

I've just caught up with Slow Horses. The main character is played by Gary Oldman in top form. He's a spy, so decrepit and filthy you can almost smell him. He runs an outpost of British intelligence from a filthy, decrepit office staffed by a bunch of fuck-ups. It's the best thing I've seen in ages. Lots of character development, back stories, car chases, bloodshed, even a tiny splash of romance. It's on its 4th series, so I'm very late to the game. Probably because I don't have Apple+.

Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis. From the sound of it if you haven't already watched them you would really like them. Sci fi and definitely has the group/team evolving aspect.

Better Call Saul. I find it so amazing how they were able to take an existing (brilliant in its own right) story, and extend it in both past and the future. It fits in so nicely. There are very few (if any) plot holes, and the story is enjoyable in its own right. Add to that the superb acting of almost everyone, and the elite cinematography. I don't think there's a single aspect of this show that I don't like.
Don't get me wrong. Breaking Bad is fantastic.
I enjoyed Better Call Saul more

Right now? Enjoying Preacher, that seems like it would suit you.
Ever? That has to be Dr. Who. I watched it as a kid and watched the newer ones with my kids.
Itβs not Sci-fi, but Iβm shocked nobody has mentioned Six Feet Under, my vote for the best show ever made. With the best ending episode ever made. I never cry watching stuff but I ABSOLUTELY cried when I saw the ending. I tear up just thinking about it or listening to a certain song. I watched it a million years ago, then met someone who Iβve been with for over a decade who became a mortician. I then watched it all over again with them and they felt the same way I did about it. Best show ever.
Smiling friends. The humor isn't anything like I've seen before. I tend to love random humor.
Letterkenny. The insults are top notch.

@Hammocks4All@lemmy.ml you might enjoy The Good Place β not sci-fi, but awesome group building. Donβt read anything about it online to avoid spoilers, just sit and watch season 1. If you like it, watch the other seasons as well.
