I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships. I also like sci fi and weirdness. For these reasons, two of my favorite shows are The Expanse and Severance. In both, by the end, I felt like I was “part of the team” in some way.

What are a couple of your favorites? What kind of itch do they scratch?

      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.

    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.

    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.

    Westworld (Season 1). The other seasons are good and have great moments but season 1 is special.

    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.

    • 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 don’t want to spoil the plot in the seasons after the first by telling people who haven’t seen it what I mean, but if you’ve seen it you know exactly what I mean.

      I absolutely loved Dark and followed it for most of the run. However, I haven’t watched the last season yet. Is it good?

    The first and ONLY season of Altered Carbon. I love the dystopian cyberpunk sci-fi film noir style.

      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 🫠

        I saw the first season and really liked it, but now I just started S2 and currently on second epidose and I’m 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’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 Haunting of Bly Manor. I think it’s beautifully tragic. 🥲 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.

    Didn’t see it mentioned yet so i’ll shout out:

    Devs.

    Super super good sci-fi mystery series relating to quantum theory that introduced some … moral quandaries that stick with you. I dont see it talked about much but I really enjoyed it. Nick Offerman plays the main “bad guy” and it was a jarring but refreshing role change, kinda like John Goodman in the second cloverfield movie. God Damn he killed it.
