Archive 81 was far better than expected
Firefly
Found-family space western with excellent music and characters
Yes, it has Joss Whedon’s name on it, but either because it was made much earlier in his career or because Tim Minear was showrunner, it doesn’t have the modern bathos issue commonly associated with him these days
Lot of good recommendations, but i didn’t see anyone mention: Hell on Wheels X-men 97 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Batman the animated series Batman Beyond
I also want to mention Dexter, which was listed before but too low, so easily missed.
I watched some animated stuff recently, these I liked quite a bit:
Over the Garden Wall (2014)
Scavengers Reign (2023)
Kaiba (2008)
Haibane Renmei (2002)
Expanse
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Easily my biggest “TV show that was cancelled way too soon” regret.
The first three seasons of Arrested Development are still amongst the smartest, dumbest and painfully funniest hours of (comedy) television I have ever seen.
One I always recommend is Dark. It starts slow but the story and the way everything connects is incredibly well written. Definitely one of those shows that makes you think long after each episode.
Barry Bojack Horseman
The Wheel of Time by far the best show I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop watching it.
These shows were peak every episode:
- Firefly
- future Man
- andor
- Babylon 5
- Derry girls
- Veronica Mars
- the good place
- poker face
Red Dwarf
I will recommend person of interest to anyone who asks.
The IT Crowd
Avatar: the Last Airbender.
