Er.... Freaks and Geeks? I'm trying to watch Stranger Things but its just Too Much, so I might be extra nostalgic. Also Star Trek. All of them, but especially Next Gen (obviously) and Deep Space Nine. Haha! I don't watch much television.

I also really like the short videos by City Nerd and Not Just Bikes, but that's not fiction.

Edit: I'd like to add the Critical Role animated series. They are doing such a good job. Can I also add Bluey for when you're feeling sick?? Not exactly a series I'd sit down and watch, but it is seven minutes of greatness.

Six Feet Under, True Detective (Season 1).

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

Are you British? And/or have you listened to any British people speak for any length of time?

Then you'll have heard jokes and phrases repeated (knowingly or unknowingly) from Only Fools and Horses.

Do you want to know what the British think of our European neighbours?

Then you'll want to watch 'Allo 'Allo!

Pantheon! While I think they had to rush it, it has a solid ending

Star Trek, any of them but Discovery, but don't start with The Original Series

Doctor Who, but start with the new 2005 series.

Worthy mentions: The Orville, Andromeda.

12 Monkeys and DARK. Both shows deal with time travel in a very cool way.

Severance and The Boys are also fantastic.

[-] JGrffn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I would absolutely think twice or thrice about recommending GoT. In fact, I've already recommended some friends to not watch it. Some amazing episodes, perhaps some of the best scenes ever seen on TV, and by far the most upsetting, spit-in-the-face, negligent final season from any show I've ever seen. Umbrella Academy wishes it had as bad an ending as GoT, if only for the infamy.

Anyway 3 Body Problem looks really promising and I'm sure the creators, whoever they are, will absolutely nail it.............

Modern choice, only one season so far with another coming of unknown quality, but I liked Murderbot, personally. Sci Fi, dark comedy, with a dash of wholesome. I liked it!

[-] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Fargo is IMHO one of the best if not the best TV series. Every season has its own story and therefore has an end and no cliffhangers until the next season.

Storywise it's just that the Coen brothers have this great feeling for pain and suffering and the twisted humor that lies within. There are no real happy ends and everything comes at a price. But their characters are fighters, they don't give up that easily.
I also love that the bad guys really get under my skin. They have their own logic and methods, they're brutal and the worst of all: they feel real. Like Jon Hamm in the latest season, great (as in I'd never want to meet him) character, great cast!

[-] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Since it's not mentioned, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If you liked Firefly, you'll like Buffy. Yes, it has baggage, but that doesn't prevent everyone else in the cast from having their work appreciated. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll dabble in witchcraft.

[-] bizarroland@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

If you want to go old school, I highly recommend the Adventures of Brisco County Jr. It's a comedy steampunk cowboy romp featuring Bruce Campbell from the 90s, filmed on the lot where they used to film all of the old spaghetti westerns before they destroyed it.

  • A&E's Nero Wolfe
  • Agatha Christie's Poirot (with David Suchet)
  • The Expanse
  • Star Trek: TNG
  • Fleabag (season 2 is a masterpiece, and I don't throw that word around)
  • For All Mankind
  • Archane (season 1 is another masterpiece)
  • Penny Dreadful (it dips in quality in the later seasons, but worth it for the Frankenstein's monster story alone)

EDIT:

  • Coupling (UK) - Thr first two seasons
  • Keeping Up Appearances
  • IT Crowd

Old school Star Trek, but also Dark Matter.

The Expanse is also bloody amazing. Great book series too.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Twin Peaks, by David Lynch. I specify, because there was a period when he wasn't involved, and it shows. Those episodes are kind of a slog. But as soon as he comes back, so does the magic.

I firmly believe that the Curse with Nathan Fielder is one of the greatest things ever filmed.

[-] melisdrawing@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

I had a hard time getting into that show but it so worth it.
