From on MGM+ is absolutely fantastic. I love the mystery, the horror, and everything else about it. I am excited to see where it goes. I also absolutely love Foundation on Apple TV+, amazing CGI and fantastic world (or universe) building.
Black books
Fabulous show. Always frustrated me how much bigger The IT Crowd was than BB.
Frustrated? You need the little book of calm
I think I’ll just drink heavily and shout at things!
Dammit, now you’ve mentioned it, I’m going to have to watch every episode again for the 11th time.
I ate your bees!
‘Midnight Mass’ somehow completely went under my radar first, but DAMN, that was a great mini series!
That boat ride, damn…
Utopia (UK 2 season version)

Firefly
Farscape, Red Dwarf
First thing that popped into my mind: Galavant. It’s a prime time network fantasy comedy from a writer of Cars and Tangled, teamed up with the composer from Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.
It’s like if The Princess Bride was two seasons of musical television with songs from the golden 90’s era of Disney. In a just world, it’d have six seasons and a movie.
I don’t recall how I heard about For All Mankind, and I never see it mentioned very much, but I have had such a great time watching that.
It’s an alternate history of the space race from the 60s onward, and it’s so exciting to watch what could have been. Each season jumps forward a decade, so the advances in missions and tech keep leaping forward.
If you grew up thinking we should be pioneering space by now, you will probably enjoy it.
I absolutely love For All Mankind. Such a great show, although it has been lacking in terms of intensity in recent seasons
Intensity is a good word to describe that element. I feel the show is willing to bump off characters, but 2 of the leads have survived too many close calls and it lowers the stakes a good bit.
The individual that showed up with the surprise faction really threw a wrench into things that I enjoyed though!

Ive watched way too much shit. I should become a tv tv critic.
Oh yeah, The Critic
Fuck HBO/Discovery
I enjoyed the beginning of Raised by wolves, but once it started to get “creative” (the levitating offspring…) I lost interest. Which is a shame because this was a high quality series.
I really wish Dead Like Me could have lasted longer.
Or Wonderfalls, or Pushing Daisies, or basically anything Bryan Fuller does.
hopefully you’ve read the Foundation books btw
I was going to say FROM when I saw your question. I’m glad you mentioned it.
Exactly same. Gf & I got into it a few weeks ago and just caught up to current. We’re champing at the bit to see what happens next.

Farscape
Best alien puppets in any show ever
truly
Rubicon
If you like espionage but from the analytical side.
Counterpart
If you like espionage, JK Simmons, and parallel dimensions
Berlin Station S1
If you like espionage and postwar Germany
Rubicon was excellent. Most of the other shows mentioned here are actually well known, but this one truly is a deep cut.
It really was. I’ve watched it several times.
I’m not really sure what’s well known unless it’s enormously popular.
I’ve looked up the director, writer and actors from Rubicon to find similarly great work but this seemed to be a special convergence.
China, IL would be on my list
