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!!

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.
Over the Gardenwall
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.
If I had to pick just a couple, then Twin Peaks and The Prisoner. Both have interesting styles, both keep you asking questions rather than spoonfeeding answers, both were ahead of their time.
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 Haunting of Bly Manor. I think it's beautifully tragic. π₯² And I really connected with their protrayl of grief. A close runner up would be The Haunting of the Hill House.
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.
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.
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
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 saw the first season and really liked it, but now I just started S2 and currently on second epidose and Iβm struggling to continue tbh. Does it keep up with the first one? Was curiouse if those spoilers you say make the show good are spoilers from the end of season one or end of tv show?
I really enjoyed both shows as well. You might enjoy Silo which is a pretty solid recent sci-fi show I can recommend. Andor is also excellent, it's hands down my favorite thing from the Star Wars universe. Farscape is also absolutely fantastic. It starts out a bit slow, but it's absolutely amazing once it gets going. Also enjoyed Love Death and Robots, they took a bunch of short sci-fi stories and make episodes out of each. Firefly is another excellent show.
Battlestar Galactica will always be my comfort apocalypse.
On the final episode with my rewatch
I've watched it too many times now. I still recommend it to everyone, I just can't watch it myself anymore. Maybe when I retire.
Happy!. The perfect mix of black comedy, violence, and weird central alien stuff.
First time I've seen someone else mention it. Definitely an underrated show with a lot of wild ideas.
