Shit I watch too much TV lol, I'll add more if I remember any that I'm missing

The Wire

Deadwood

The Sopranos

True Detective S1

Silicon Valley was fuckin a, man. Add that to the list.

Highly recommend White Lotus to everyone. Both seasons are hilarious, but filled with some of the most intensely emotional and raw, flawed characters. In season two, I at different times loved, pitied, and hated almost every single character in the show. I need to re-watch them both now..

You listed so many of my fav!

In no particular order, to name a few more:

• I think you should leave
• Andor
• Black bird
• Veep
• Barry
• It’s always sunny in Philadelphia
• What we do in the shadow

Just gonna drop Avatar: The Last Airbender in here.

Starts out a lil slow but it's an absolute masterpiece. It's also still pretty funny and entertaining in general as an adult

Succession should be the only thing next in your list. And The Righteous Gemstones can be watched concurrently as a palette cleanser. Don’t binge either; savor them.

After that, Star Trek TNG and into DS9, then back to something more contemporary.

Highly recommend.

For me it's Outlander. I was sucked in from the very first episode. A memorable intro song, quality writing and acting. Great show.

I mostly like sci-fi and comedies. In no particular order:

1. Battlestar Galactica (the 05 remake)
2. Scrubs
3. Fringe
4. Chuck
5. Person of Interest
6. Dark
7. Mr Robot

Very much enjoyed The Queens Gambit as well as The Bear so +1 for those ^^

Ted Lasso is an interesting one, it was a breath of fresh air for the first season, the second started to get bit weird with the Nate storyline seeming to devolve to an epic degree out of nowhere, and then season 3 felt wholly unresolved with some really strange choices (except the Amsterdam episode which was wonderful).

The female characters in S3 were also extremely one note and overly tragic, if included at all (what even was Keely’s story arc in the end? And the teacher ended up nothing?).

A few stand out moments here and there and a great show for progressive masculinity but overall I felt like the writing was really not on sure footing and I would hope they don’t reach for a 4th season.

Six Feet Under

Some of these will be extremely obvious or popular, but I'm always amazed at how many people still haven't seen them:

The Night Manager
Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul
Gravity Falls
Top Gear/Grand Tour Specials (Bolivia, Vietnam, Polar, Burma, Mongolia.)
The Bodyguard
Kenny vs Spenny
The Boondocks

I'll edit the list if more come to me.

Good list. I'd add The Sopranos and The Wire

Some comedy must-watch shows:

• What we do in the shadows
• The IT crowd
• Coupling

I've never seen Banshee mentioned with Antony Starr. Fantastic story and great character build up. I wish more people knew about this show.

I really enjoyed The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel too, it's pretty funny and like you said has great character development.

I think my all-time favourite show is 30 Rock, I've rewatched it so many times and it makes me laugh every time.

Honourable mentions to Prime's A League of Their Own, Rings of Power (I know this one is a divisive one but I like it idc), Criminal Minds and honestly Gilmore Girls is a total comfort show for me. I'm also in the middle of watching Mad Men and really enjoying it.

God, Mr. Robot was so good.

I recently rewatched The Expanse and then went on to Avatar The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra.

They are not similar but love both.

Edit: typo.

Ive been really impressed with Back Sails. Just about to start the final season.

It doesn't take itself too seriously and the characters are all very likeable.

Idk I think it's worth a watch if your in need a of a good adventure.

My current obsession is Yellowjackets on Showtime.

A while back, I got really into Letterkenny.

It's good.

Yes it's a good show.

The Shield belongs, in my opinion. And one of my wife and I's absolute favorites ever is animal kingdom. That show is fire

I like and /or want to watch many of the shows already listed, so I want to add some not ITT

The Bridge (both versions) The Tunnel (uk/french remake of The Bridge)

Counterpart ~ what a great show and we'd had a season 2 if not for the pause because of Covid:/

Vera ~ my all time favorite of the mystery shows.

Strange New Worlds ~ feels like the star trek we grew up with!

Better off Ted ~ that show was ahead of it's time. Wish there were more than 2 seasons!!

Often passed over, yet exceptional imo, is Marco Polo on Netflix.

Shetland ~ Beautiful scenery along with great mysteries.

Will Trent ~ one of the few shows I watch as it came out and was really anticipating the next weeks episode. Most shows I just wait till they're all out. This one got me hooked right out the gate.

The Stranger ~ by Harlen Coben on Netflix.

Alaska Daily ~ cool setting and great topics

Quantum Leap (new one) Was pleasantly surprised and lok forward to the next season

I’ve not seen any mention of it so I’ll do a plug for Mare of Easttown which was fucking brilliant.

One shot mini series starring Kate Winslet as a tortured detective, her family dynamic in the show is the whole reason to watch.

Highly recommend.

Oh boy you are going to have a blast with your watchlist.

I recently watched through Atlanta finally, that was amazing in how you went into almost every episode with no idea what to expect.

Mr. Robot is great indeed but S2 makes total sense on a rewatch but it can definitely be a drag sometimes.

Another show I loved was The Leftovers, god tier show tbf and S1 is technically the weakest season.

You already mentioned Severance too, waiting for the next season now, it was very good :)

I think DARK takes the cake for my top rated drama series of all time, it is a complete mindbender and perfectly written. Other favs include The Good Place and The Magicians. Mr. Robot is also way up on this list for similar reasons. Just excellence in storytelling. BSG also gets an honorable mention.
