From on MGM+ is absolutely fantastic. I love the mystery, the horror, and everything else about it. I am excited to see where it goes. I also absolutely love Foundation on Apple TV+, amazing CGI and fantastic world (or universe) building.

Gary and his Demons is a great animated show that no one seems to have ever heard about

[โ€“] Yprum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Most likely I'm too specific about it, but I see quite some shows mentioned that I'd not really consider underrated or unrecognised. Firefly is one of my all time favourites but not really underrated or unrecognised. Or Fringe, possibly not even From (of which I'll just say I very much hope they have an ending planned because I don't want it to end lost like Lost).

Perfect examples of underrated or unrecognised shows are Galavant and Utopia, mentioned by others, they are brilliant.

In a similar direction I'd say Dead Set, a UK show that really surprised me ages ago but never see mentioned. https://imdb.com/title/tt1285482/

Maybe I should include also Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog, but that may be a lot less underrated and it's a minishow only.

A largely forgotten show from the late 90s called "Seven Days".

Absolutely loved that one!

It's not exactly "unrecognized" because it's fairly popular, but From -- yes, that's the name, and yes, it makes it very difficult to search for.

It's pretty highly rated, horror/mystery show. It's a lot like Lost except more horror less mystery. It even stars Harold Perrineau who played Michael in Lost.

The concepts and monsters are very scary and/or creepy. It gives me a Dead by Daylight "The Entity" and "The Entity's Realm" vibe if you're familiar with the game.

  • The Terror (First season only) (Horror TV drama)
  • Death Parade (Anime)
  • The Duchess of Duke Street (Older period drama)
  • Oshiete! Galko-chan (Short anime)

I second The Terror (never saw season 2 though). It was a slow burn horror for much of it, which I really appreciated. I liked the historical aspects and thought they conveyed the isolation well. I need to get around to reading the book at some point.

If you like para-military actions I highly recommend Spec Ops: Lioness.

Lioness is a CIA program who recruits military women to infiltrate terrorist organizations and destroy it from within.

It's currently on its second season. Zoey Saldana is fantastic in the show.

Iโ€™m gonna give it a second try

I don't know if it was actually under rated or unrecognized where it aired, but as someone who was trawling for TV to watch that you don't see in North America, I fucking love Monkey Dust out of the UK.

Dark comedy animated sketch show.

There's a phenomenal French horror series on Netflix called Marianne that my wife and I enjoyed immensely. I don't usually shoot for that particular brand of horror (demon/ghost), but Marianne is fucking excellent. Can't recommend it enough.

I could not get over the tone shift. It was so baffling for me, one moment a super sinister and serious tone and the next scene was all comedy with a soundtrack that would not be out of place in the 3 stooges. I saw it to the end but was constantly getting out of the immersion with the change to comedy sprinkled all over the place.

[โ€“] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It's been a few years but I don't remember that at all, but I'd be interested to see if I'm bothered by it on a re-watch.

[โ€“] coriza@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It has being some years for me too. But if my memory serves me right there is this scene I think in the later half that 2 of the main characters break in a house, I guess it is the witch's mother house I don't quite remember but the background music did not match the vibe at all.

. Rilley, Ace Of Spies, a mini series about the life of spy, Sidney Rilley, directed by Martin Campbell who would go on to direct James Bond film 'Casino Royale'.

. Tracey Takes On..., you may not of heard of Tracey Ullman but you've felt her impact. She is most known for being the woman who kinda created The Simpsons. Back in 87 Ullman commissioned Matt Groening to some shorts for the 'Tracey Ullman Show' which go on to become 'The Simpsons' we know and love today.

. Drawn Together, if you like adult animated comedy on the lines of Family Guy or American Dad with the satire and social critique of South Park and The Boondocks you'll love Drawn Together.

The Boy's Word: Blood on the Asphalt

Not "unrecognized" in Russia, but Woids are missing out

Preacher, it's on Netflix now. So good.

Warrior, also I think on Netflix now.

Andor was crazy good too, and Scavenger's Reign.

Not sure about unrecognized, but those are great.

[โ€“] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure if it's my "favorite", necessarily, but I couldn't think of anything else, and it is a good show, and, imo, rather unknown, but I'll share Wakfu (the French version (with subtitles if you don't speak French). I'd highly recommend not watching the dub โ€” it isn't very good).

[โ€“] ObsidianNebula@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't think it is very well known, but I thought Scavengers Reign was very good. It was a bit slow, but I thought it gave time to see the weird alien world.

If you are on the fence about it, the show is a followup to this short and has some similarities in its world building.
