Succession, perhaps the best script I've ever experienced
I love Vox Machina. Give it three episodes though, it needs the Briarwood ark to really get going.

Scrubs
I just watched the pilot episode of "Servant" and it looks promising. M. Night Shyamalan.
My wife has gotten into watching Green Acres. Omg the writing is so sharp, just one joke after another. The characters do get repetitive but that is the way with all sitcoms.
The Mary Tyler Moore show is very rewatchable. The writing and characters are so well done. Ted Knight and Betty White are brilliant.
I'm gonna download Green acres rn, thx.
Halt and Catch Fire.
Set in the 80s, itβs about a company in Texas trying to build a computer to rival IBM. Er, thatβs how it starts. I liked it so much, I bought it.
Secret Level.
The Outsider
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.
Yes! I binge watched Mayday. Very well done documentary with only a minimum of dramatization, you do get some "Get this into the lab!" type acting and shoop shoop edits but not much. Looking into the events they are good about getting like 90% of the info. They have the actors reading straight from the CVR records. It really does point out how the vast majority of accidents require a lot of star all lining up. It also points out how important thorough maintenance is. You've got things failing in ways you'd never expect if they had only, say, put some grease on a single screw. The really frustrating ones are where the crew ignore their instruments thinking they (the pilot) must be right or the crew sit and watch the pilot fuck up without intervening. The cash in Portland OR where the pilot obsessed over a landing gear light and ignored that they were running out of fuel is a case in point.
The most disturbing ones are where a pilot likely suicided and took all the innocent people with him or someone attacked the crew. Insanely selfish a-holes.
After watching all of the episodes, some repeatedly, I think I could assist a crew in a crisis now.
Jury Duty, binge watched and loved it, I couldnβt stop laughing.
Silo.
Severance (rewatching cause season 2 is around the corner).
Star Trek Strange New Worlds (also rewatched waiting for next season).
Came here to say Severance. Great show, I just watched it this week.
The ones I've been watching and it's been good are:
- Dark Matter;
- Severance;
- Silo;
- From;
Currently watching From and really enjoying it.
Dark Matter season one, yes. Not a fan of season two myself.
I just finished Monster, an anime from 2004 that is really good
The mick
Severance is an all too graphic caricature of life in corporate America and I had a visceral reaction to watching it that made me feel dead it was awful donβt watch it because the show is magnificently well done and immaculately satirical stay away from this terrifyingly good show watch it
Years ago I picked up the book 'Gone Girl.' I got about twenty pages into it and put it down because I couldn't stand the smug, entitled yuppie narrator.
Later, I watched and enjoyed the movie, and read some of the author's other books.
It made me realize what a good writer she is; she made me hate a character so much that I couldn't read the book.
When I played Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time, I chose the βnomadβ backstory which defines essentially a character who has been so burned by late stage capitalism that they ran away to live in a small commune in the desert.
While playing through the game, I thought the advertisements littering Night City were incredibly jarring like they were supposed to be from a Borderlands game, or at least one that was way more tongue-in-cheek. The world of Night City was far too depressing to reasonably include those utterly ridiculous ads and it made it hard for me to feel immersed. Then it hit me; thatβs exactly how I was supposed to feel, and then it paradoxically made me feel like this game set in a future world with insanely high-tech appliances available to all its citizens was indistinguishable from my own. I literally forgot multiple times that this game was set in an alternate future and not just in some city in California
Nice story. Thank you for posting it
