Admittedly I missed the "a" in the title, the grid threw me.

But I already made a list...

More like a miniseries, but HBO’s Chernobyl. Some of the best television I’ve ever seen.

Andor is the best piece of Star Wars media and the best TV show I’ve ever seen. You don’t need to like Star Wars. I don’t know if seeing Star Wars would even increase your enjoyment. I think seeing Rogue One would probably be good but otherwise just jump in. No space wizards or laser swords or destiny or whatever. It’s so adult and grounded. I can’t believe Disney let them make this.

One I dont see mentioned often is Dark Matter which I think is pretty underrated.

Fringe. Best Sci-Fi ending that wraps back around to an episode that broke the show open. The last season getting there is kind of rough. But the first 4 seasons are solid.

Holy I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet but Barry with Bill Hader might be one of my faves ever.

I really enjoyed Babylon 5. Especially seasons 2-4. The interplay between the characters, especially Londo and G'kar was excellent. The stories were epic and political, it would be relevant today I think. It was so quotable and parts really moved you.

The effects were dated even then, and the transfer to widescreen after the digital models were lost was an absolute travesty. Instead of widescreen making the show better, they cropped the 4:3 for every effects shot, making them all blurry and poorly composed.

Even so, the story and characters are epic and timeless.

Mr Robot

Fringe

I am surprised that I'm the first to mention Bojack Horseman here.

This series is for you if you want to cry out your mental health problems

"The Thick Of It", if you wanna cackle. It's three seasons (under 10 episodes each) and a TV movie. I recommend watching it with subtitles, especially if you're not a native English speaker/not accustomed to the many accents of the British Isles. If you've watched Veep, it's quite similar except much better in all aspects, lol.

If you don't mind animays (and, for whatever reason, you haven't watched this masterpiece... the shame!) and are competently literate, I also enthusiastically recommend "Legend of the Galactic Heroes". It explores the "honourable philosopher king" autocracy v. "decaying, corrupt, aimless democracy" issue, and the character arcs and very realistic reactions and interactions are just chef's kiss. 👍

For All Mankind

What a show. The first marine seige on the lunar mining camp is as cool as it gets. Tracy Stevens is a badass.

Norsemen- absolutely hysterical show really really loved it

After Life - dark, funny, and poignant

Dota Dragons Blood - anime, really intense, great storytelling, has one of the best episodes ive ever seen in any show

Lupin - brilliantly written crime show, plot and acting are superb. One of the best ive seen for a very lont time

The Wire. It's the best piece of visual media ever created. Not only is it the best portrayal of the inner city drugs trade but also the decaying institutions and social structures that allow it to flourish, and the corrupting influence of dirty money.

It also is consistently the best written show on TV and is grounded in it's reality better than anything else. Half the cast were complete unknowns, in many cases plucked from the streets of Baltimore itself and there are standout performances all across it's vast and diverse cast.

It's a little slow to get going, the first few episodes have a lot of ground to cover to get the viewer up to speed, it also makes no effort to ease the viewer in, with a lot of jargon, slang and some very thick accents to content with, there's also no "previously on the wire" to go over key points from earlier episodes so it definitely requires more participation from the viewer than most TV but it's all the better for it.

ODDTAXI (with subtitles) is some of the best dialog I've experienced in a long time. With a fun story about a walrus who lives and drives a taxi around Tokyo. It's anime, so I know it isn't everyone's thing, but it's very different from what most people think anime is.

Sherlock was excellent! Revived my interest in the lore.

The Mentalist, Person of Interest and IT Crowd.

Scavengers Reign.

Expanse

Halt and Catch Fire

The Leftovers

Station 11

One I haven't seen listed here:

Samurai Jack

It's a cartoon you need to sit down and pay attention to. There's often action, and it can be goofy, but it also has a lot of really quiet, contemplative scenes.

Avatar: the Last Airbender.

Counterpart. Excellent spy action with a twist. JK Simmons is great in this one.

Andor

Fallout

Psych

Frasier

MASH

Stargate Universe

Battlestar Galactica

The Body Problem

Foundation

You didn't specify how old

I recommend Shogun. It's a political drama set in feudal Japan following a fictional not-Tokugawa figure and the English sailor who crashed nearby and becomes his good luck charm.

Some I've hardly seen mentioned here

Season 1 True Detective is peak tv

Season 1 Westworld

FX's Legion- the story is a bit disjointed between the season but the effects are top notch

The expanse!

Scrubs. But skip the last season. They found a good end and then the execs wanted more money.

Community

The Good Place. Funny, compelling, I cried through the final episode. It also doesn't waste your time, things will happen mid-season that any other show would have dragged out for the season finale.

As I didn't seen them mentioned

• Scrubs: 8 UND ONLY 8 seasons of funny comedy, heart wrenching tragedy. For such a funny show, they managed to still make me cry with "Where Do You Think We Are?"
• Better off Ted: very funny too, hardly ever hear anybody mentioning it
• Bluey: is you have small children and you are going to give them screen time, do both of you a favor and chose bluey.

arrested development

Brooklyn 99 is definitely one of my all time favorites

I introduced my wife to Chuck, one of my favorite shows, and it's the only show so far that we've both liked.

"Better Off Ted" is really funny and still holds up.

Arcane i would recommend everyone to watch

I recently discovered Cybersix (1999). It's got a great aesthetic, an intriguing story, and quality animation.

Carnivale. It ended on a cliff hanger but IMHO, its an absolutely fantastic 3 seasons.
