Some that come to mind, and merely in order I thought of them:

  • Danger Five
  • Green Wing
  • Blackadder
  • Clone High
  • Puella Magi Madoka Magica
  • Cowboy Bebop
  • Flight of the Conchords
  • Inside No. 9
  • The Wire
  • Atlanta

Only finished shows considered, as a poor ending can ruin a show.

Oh I forgot Malcom in the Middle. +1 to that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

For a recent anime, Delicious in Dungeon is excellent!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Ghost In The Shell, Haibane Renmei, and Gurren Lagann share the #1 spot for animated

Psych takes 1st place for live action

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago

Bob's Burgers hands down. It's just constantly showcases the wholesomeness I want to see in the world.

It shows a constantly imperfect world, and family, friends, and community standing together to survive it.

I could write a thesis, but I'm crying thinking about that Christmas episode now, you know the one.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

This is hard.

  • Avatar: The Last Airbender + The Legend of Korra together. Don’t even get me started (actually please do).

  • Pantheon. Dense, proper sci fi, criminally and tragically suppressed IRL. Watch it, right now.

  • I am really loving Severance so far.

  • Arcane is up there, maybe as most artistic.

  • Star Wars: Andor. Not a huge Star Wars fan, but it’s so good, and grounded. It has everything.

I have a lot of "secondary" favorites I am excluding here, like The Expanse, Person of Interest, Fringe, The Americans, Narcos, Mythbusters, and such for various reasons, but are still amazing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

+1 for Avatar. Such a phenomenal cast of characters and world building. Korra got really weird but I still appreciate it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

I love LoK, honestly more than ATLA, for many reasons. Along those lines, I was more into ATLA for Zuko than the Gaang.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 12 hours ago

Futurama will always hold a special place in my heart

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago
  • Twilight Zone
  • MASH
  • Malcolm in the Middle
[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

The Good Place. Perfect show, 10/10

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

How I met your mother. It never fails to entertain me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I always want to rewatch HIMYM because I do remember enjoying it but I get one or two episodes in and I loose the taste for it because of how bad it ended. Really only one of a few shows truely ruined by the ending.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Along with Game of Thrones, of course

[–] [email protected] 1 points 47 minutes ago

That goes without saying

[–] [email protected] 10 points 13 hours ago

Easily Star Trek: The Next Generation. It's mystery, sci-fi, action, drama, and period pieces (holo deck episodes). It has a bit of everything. Plus it's a hopeful vision of the future.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Fringe. Love that shit, watched the whole thing 10x.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

Fringe is so underrated.

…Have you seen Severance? It feels more condensed, and I am loving it so far.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago

It's a tough choice between Futurama and Mythbusters

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

Mr Robot Mad Men

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

Golden Girls! The jokes still crack me up

[–] [email protected] 9 points 13 hours ago

Well, I did just start rewatching Community for the n-th time...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Um...

Can I have more than 1?

The Magicians

The Expanse

Travelers

The Good Place

and if anime counts:

Steins;Gate

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

The Good Place is unbelievable. I never get bored rewatching it.

Arrested Development seasons 1-3 will always be special to me.

Hilda

It's on Netflix and I cannot express enough how much I adore this show

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I've seen Archer far too many times. Funniest animated I've ever seen and I kinda want to watch it again. Gotta stop when the writers change at s10 tho.

Patriot is an amazing TV show that I've seen three times. It's a thriller, I guess. Quite funny but they play it straught. Reminds me of Fargo.

Edit because how on earth did I not mention True Detective season 1.

These three shows I will definitely watch again when I get time. Amazing attention to detail in each of them.

  • Sherlock
  • 30 Rock

Stargate (sg1 and Atlantis)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

There are many great shows that could take the nr 1 spot but SG-1 just has a special place in my heart. At least up to 8th season.
