I’ve watched the big shows it’s more less obvious ones I’m after
Our Flags Means Death and Peacemaker were my favorite two shows on HBO.
Not heard of those but they look great thanks

The best show
on HBOis Six Feet Under. At the very least, it has the best ending, of any TV series, ever.Bonus: Gay Dexter (but really, all the lead actors are great, not just Hall)
High Maintenance is a good one that isn’t as well known
Carnivale is worth a watch if you’re into Twin Peaks, etc.
Though fair warning it was cancelled after one season without really resolving anything. But what exists is very good.
Good pre-watch warning although Carnivale has two seasons. I’m still upset they didn’t finish the story.
Harley Quinn (the adult animated series) is funnier than it had any right to be
The Leftovers is amazing if you have not seen it yet, it’s a bit dramatic and sad at times so if you are super depressed maybe not watch it. It’s about the end of the world, when half of the people are ascended into heaven and the show deals with the people left behind hence the name. Anyways, it does have a lot of religious overtones to it because of the premise so if that bothers you maybe give it a pass, but I never found it preachy, it’s more a story about human emotion, resolve and love and it’s quite beautiful.
I love The Leftovers, I don’t even think it necessarily suggested it was for sure the rapture or that they went to heaven, it’s all very ambiguous. It’s been a long time but the ending felt more nihilistic than hopeful. Could just be my deconstructed perspective though
Interesting a lot of people in this thread were downvoted for no reason, meh whatever
Yeah that’s true, it’s been a while since I saw it but I suppose they do never really mention heaven like that. I suppose it leaves it up to the person, I was raised Catholic so I guess that’s where my mind went with it :P
Oh I definitely see the parallels too, former southern Baptist here, there’s a lot to take away from a religious, areligious, and agnostic standpoint.
I suppose that’s why I liked it, it left things so open. Honestly the camp outside of Jarden is kind of how things feel these days in the US lol
Shit I hadn’t made that connection yet… you may have prompted a rewatch lol
Los Espookys
If you like sketch comedy, watch Mr. Show!
They brutalising me!
The Pitt!
I liked Hacks a lot.
Rooster
I haven’t seen it yet, but Larry David’s new historical comedy.

I’ve also been re-watching ER there.
They also have a good cosmology show How the Universe Works
I used to be obsessed with ER. Absolutely fucking loved it
Task
Task
And i will say it again, Task!
Also by the same writer “Mare of EastTown”.
Task was one I scrolled past cos it looked a bit tacky. Is it actually a good show?
It has it all, great realistic complex characters, intense action, great emotional moments and a really grounded story.
Also it stars two of my favorite actors, Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelphrey.
You want to know what actors say about Tom Pelphrey? If you do a scene with him you better bring your A game because he is prepared and intense. He is one of the greatest.
Oooooh adding it thanks 😊
