Going on an extended trip for a bit. I want to know what to stock up on.
Also wondering what all of you are watching.

Surprised I’m the first one to suggest Peep Show
Dept Q (netflix?) was really good. A bit of mystery detective. A bit of British humor. Interesting characters. Was excellent.
Scrubs
Archer
I scrolled right to the bottom and not one of ya mentioned ‘freaks and geeks’…
It is an absurdly good 80s time piece and if you can’t recognise at least half of the actors from their ongoing careers… Then good luck to ya!

I can’t belive nobody has recommended The Good Place yet. Only 53 episodes, just about 20 hours total, and an amazing series. You can watch the whole thing on a long enough trip and it’s an amazing ride. Do yourself a favour and don’t read up on it just go along for the ride.
Breaking Bad’, Better Call Saul, Pluribus
Also if you’re going to watch Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, while not a TV show, the El Camino film is worth watching as well. It’s a nice Breaking Bad epilogue that we didn’t need, but is well done and worth your time.
Skip breaking bad imo, but better call Saul is one of the best shows out there
Eh, breaking bad’ is an extremely well made show. You might like it or not, but qualitatively, it’s one of the best shows out there
Plus, having watched Breaking Bad makes all the references/shoutouts in BCS even better.
I’m also not sure how you watch Better Call Saul without having seen Breaking Bad. It’s like watching Wicked having never seen The Wizard of Oz. Sure, you can do it, but a number of scenes, especially in the final season, don’t really make sense of you don’t know Saul’s story from Breaking Bad.
The Wire
The different voices singing the same song for each season…👌
Sense8
It’s made by the same sisters who directed The Matrix and it’s amazing. Just kinda weird wrap-up.
Netflix cancelled the show, and after fan backlash, they ended up greenlighting a finale. While the finale was pretty abrupt, it was better than nothing.
Really would have been my all time favourite if it didn’t get fucked over.
It had enormous potential then just sort of ended in an orgy and…the world is Netflix
I’ll hate them forever for cancelling Santa Clarita Diet right when Fillion shows up
Andor.
This. If I had to name 1 show that everyone should watch, it would be this.
Can’t believe I haven’t seen someone say Mr. Robot. My favorite show of all time. Opened my eyes to corporate greed for the first time. Can also buy a blu ray of it if you don’t want to pay the subscription. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was pretty good Also second Andor (I haven’t watched season 2 yet, but season 1 was a banger), Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul
Mr Robot is on tubi for free right now.
You should watch season 2 of Andor!!!
I’m waiting until they make a disc of it. Should be sometime this year I hope.
Why wait to give Disney your money when you can give it to an enterprising sailor on eBay?
I would buy that one, but I got a 4k TV so I would like to have a 4k disc. The season 1 in 4k looked so good. Trust me though, if anyone else made them I would buy it.
Stargate SG1 - It’s like Star Trek with machineguns.
FarScape - It’s like Star Trek but the main cast are fugitives, there’s lots of muppets, and watching it makes you feel like you’re on drugs.
The Righteous Gemstones - Danny McBride made comedy farce about a horrible, vain, and stupid megachurch family.
Batman Beyond - Cyberpunk batman with an unparalleled intro sequence.
Jericho - Post apocalyptic show with a conspiracy mystery bent and heavy GWB GWOT flavor.
Kings - A sort of adaption of the story of King David in a modern setting.
I Ike Righteous Gemstones, but it’s A LOT of Danny McBride. Aside from John Goodman, every actor is channeling Danny McBride through their line delivery and movement. It’s like Danny McBride directed them by saying “Do it like THIS, exactly like this. Mimic my every inflection.”
Yes.
Old sci-fi hands down: Babylon 5.
And a lot of young people haven’t seen some movies: Matrix (mostly the first one), The fifth element, Short circuit, if you want blood: RoboCop movies. Animation: Titan AE, Vampire Hunter D, Battle Angel Alita, Blood the last vampire.
