And becoming incredibly relevant.

You can almost tell when the Snowden revelation dropped because the story becomes cartoonish.

Like the writers felt the need to outdo reality. Like you say, perhaps the show will be superseded by reality once more.

Ahhh such a good show

A lot of my picks are already mentioned so I'll pick an odd one:

Air crash investigator (called Mayday in NA). It's dramatizations of the reports from air crashes, organized like a murder mystery. Surprisingly compelling.

I've never been nervous about flying but this show really underlined how safe flying is, it's actually kinda crazy how thorough the reports are and how often they lead to rule changes. I wish the same institutional dedication to safety was practised in other industries (especially cars).

Episodes that take place in the 80s have you face palming at how stupid the mistakes are, more modern episodes are almost always a combination of many many different small low chance events and minor mistakes from the pilot piling up. I usually skip the terrorist episodes though.

I'm usually not crazy about BBT, but in this case, he really carries the show IMHO.

Marvelous Miss Maisle is solid from om beginning to end. Not a minute, scene or note is wasted. The writers know how to pack every scene with as much energy and storytelling as possible. Just perfect.

Mr. D (think Michael Scott but a teacher)

Shrinking (low stakes like Ted Lasso)

Taskmaster UK (if you like comedy panel type shows. Although it's not really a panel in the traditional sense)

I've recently fallen down an Anime rabbit hole after almost a decade of being out of the loop.

The fact I'm re-watching "Bocchi the Rock" is a pretty big recommendation.

I love Vox Machina. Give it three episodes though, it needs the Briarwood ark to really get going.

No Good Deed is really good, although it moves pretty slow.
