The Mick! I'm not good at explaining why shows are great, why people should watch them, or why they should have been more popular, unfortunately..but I had to link this anyway since I didn't see it mentioned. It ended with a seriously heavy cliffhanger that comes out of nowhere and then...Fox cancelled the next season that the writers were told they would have. So it just kind of...ended. They did a shit job at properly advertising it and totally dicked it around. This show was way better than I thought it would be and I even tried to watch it and ended up abandoning it because it didn't grab me, but I gave it another chance and stuck it out and I'm so glad I did. It deserved so much better.

Preacher. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5016504/
There are shockingly deep themes in the series: modern cults, the nature of good and evil, doing good with bad intentions and doing evil with good intentions, after effects of suicide, purity of karma, the naivete of Christianity, the creation of weapons too powerful for their creators, friendship and forgiveness and guilt, and so much more.
I honestly think it's one of the best series ever created and doesn't receive the recognition it deserves.
