What film, show or game that is not necessarily 'underated' didn't have the level of social impact it deserved. (slrpnk.net)

What's the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have 'found their audience' but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

Also what’s not underrated but has inadequate social impact, as if Big Lebowski or Arrested Development did have adequate social impact??

I think OP refers to the fact that they didn't gain immediate popularity, rather they developed a cult following as time passed.
The Big Lebowski was almost a box office bomb, as it costed 15M$ and it struggled to raise 18M$ in the US, while Arrested Development poor scheduling didn't allow it to gain a sizeable audience right away, halting the production after the 3rd season.
