The Simpsons. Pick your favourite seasons or watch them all, you can’t go wrong

I'm surprised I don't see Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek Next Generation here yet.

Extreme elimination challenge.

Doesn't matter the episode or if you join half way into an episode, still a silly watch

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Surprised not to see Generation Kill here. I'll watch it twice a year. Along with, as mentioned by many above, Seinfeld, Firefly, Community (preferably early seasons) etc.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Seinfeld for me.

Closely followed by IT Crowd

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Friends, and The Office for me.

It has became my routine to browse on Netflix or HBO Max endlessly looking for something new to watch, but always ended up re-watching between those two.

Band of Brothers

It's an annual thing for me

Futurama. I’ve seen it thousands of times. That’s not an exaggeration.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I really should get around to re-watching Futurama. I often say Professor Farnsworth's 'Good news, everyone!' to myself :-)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

You won’t regret it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I feel like I’ll get roasted but, maybe Family Guy. I always understand new references and catch new jokes each rewatch

Pawn stars for one.

Futurama is my comfort show. The wet humor gets me everytime

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

This is my go-to. I have the old DVDs ripped onto my Plex server so that I can hit shuffle on all the old seasons and just watch episodes at random.

Literally from the first episode til like season 11 where it declines somewhat but still strong

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I'll keep that in mind as I occasionally chew through it. I never really watched it at the time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Fleabag

The Queen's Gambit

Malcolm in the Middle

Six Feet Under

It seems that if you watched all of Mr. Robot, you cannot stop rewatching it (I finished my 4th rewatch...)

The expanse is top tier tv. Not sure how it wasn't more popular. Community is gonna go down as one of the classics

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The Expanse may be the best bit of sci-fi I have ever had the joy to watch and read.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I didn't get that far into the show because I was bored and lost in the space battles. Action scenes are always shakey cameras and me being confused about who's on what ship. I was extremely interested in the human dramas, politics, and especially the mystery of the fungal thing. The acting and dialects were really cool though, and I'd probably miss out on those unless the author does a good job writing them. Does it seem like I'd prefer reading it instead? I kind of feel like I just talked myself into trying the show again. :s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

A lot of the issues you mentioned get solved in season 2. I think there was a network shift and the camera work got better. Later on Amazon pumped a lot of money into the show as well. It's really worth the watch and I'd love to hear back from you if you do.

If you're a gamer there's a Telltale game that follows this account's namesake. Camina Drummer.

The writers did a fantastic job writing all the dialogue in the books. I would argue it's on par or even better than the show. Which is hard, considering the writers for the books produced and even wrote the screenplays for the show.

As someone who shares a line of work with Bobby Draper and many other characters, the military jargon and quips are also spot on. Never have I heard such accurate lingo and expression in sci-fi.
