The Patriot on prime is the best show nobody’s watched. It doesn’t have a single bad episode, the plot, dialogue, acting and production values are outstanding. It was cancelled after 2 seasons but is still really satisfying. Absolutely love it!
An annual rewatch for me. Absolutely love that show. It’s so funny, poignant. Just A+ work from the team.
Me too! It’s pretty much perfect
Star Trek Prodigy!
Better off Ted. Funny stuff.
Turn was a good series. It’s about spies during the American Revolution
Detectorists was very well done. It’s a brief 20 episodes over three seasons and a couple specials, and it’s buttoned up so well at the end. Highly recommend!
One of my favs. Everyone looks like I have gone mad when I recommend it.
Future Man
Season 1 is IMO one of the best single seasons of televion. Such a wild ride. Wolf’s character arc alone makes it worth watching.
Better Off Ted is one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen and it pisses me off to no end that it flopped
The racism episode or the one where Ted is accidentally erased from employee records (might even be the same one), just genius.
I loved the single season of “Surface” that we got in 2005/6. It didn’t do well, it wasn’t particularly well made, but boy did it have me glued to the TV for the next episode when I was younger.
You just beat me to it. They had to rush the last episode since it was canceled, but overall a solid show that had an interesting take on a common premise.
Shatter Belt. It’s like Black Mirror used to be. I absolutely loved it.
Wise Guy and Crime Story.
Grimm is a really good show that I’d never heard of before until somone mentioned it on a thread like this one and I gave it a chance.
I don’t know quite how obscure it is because of how it ended up, but Summer Camp Island.
It’s a 6 season Cartoon Network cartoon about a group of kids who attend a summer camp on a magical island with 3 teenage witch camp counselors. First maybe season or 3 the show is mostly episodic and can be watched in any order after the first establishes some things.
Later seasons they really start having more lore and push more story driven narratives ( and even dividing the season into little character focused mini-arcs for one season ) into the picture. Season 6 definitely felt a little rushed ( probably because cartoon network/hbo just wanted the series finished so they could quickly shove it out and then kill it for tax purposes ), but it has some pretty amazing moments and themes later on. For pretty much as much of the series as I can remember, the show doesn’t have a bunch of “lol random!” style comedy, so you shouldn’t have to worry about that.
One of my biggest gripes is that there’s a later season episode I absolutely cannot watch as someone with arachnophobia because it involves one of the main characters and a talking spider. Other than that, it’s how the pacing can feel a little rushed towards the end of season 6 ( which I, again, attribute the most likely cause being corporate telling the people behind it that they don’t get a season 7 so they better wrap things up as fast as possible ).
Slings and Arrows
I quite liked Continuum, but it never seemed to enter the zeitgeist. It is still one of my favorite time travel series’.
Flashforward from 2009. It’s based on a book which is also awesome, but the show really nailed it.
The cast is totally stacked with amazing talent, and the plot/concept is really unique and well-executed. Highly recommend.
I loved this too.
