12 Monkeys the TV show. I've never met anyone that has even heard of it, and I really enjoyed it! Same main characters as the movie, more or less, but a more involved story. Very satisfying, tidy ending.

I forgot to add on my first post:
Dare to Believe - Weird UK sketch show
Danger 5. Greatest Australian comedy of all time. https://youtu.be/0Z09bNgSeMI
This was hilarious. Every episode final ending somewhat the same way 👌
The trailer sold me on it, downloading now
It's so good. I watch it once a year
Haven't seen these mentioned yet:
Fringe
Killjoys
The Leftovers - 2% of the worlds population just vanishes. Enough to freak people out but not cause the complete collapse of civilization.
The Endgame - High class criminal commits crimes by way of getting herself arrested. There's only 1 season. Ignore the last ~10 minutes of the last episode and the story wraps up fine.
Counterpart - Mid-level bureaucrat finds out there's a doorway to a parallel dimension with whom the world's been in a secret cold war
Being Erica
Forever Knight
La femme Nikita (Peta Wilson version)
Space above and Beyond
Sliders
Doraleus and Associates (web series)
Dr Horribles Singalong Blog (is this okay for this list?)
Due South
Celebrity Deathmatch
Ask a Ninja (early YouTube channel)
Oh man, Ask a Ninja just unlocked a core memory that I had buried. What a perfect example of early Internet comedy.
Space above and beyond died too young. It was such an awesome scifi show with some really mind blowing good episodes

Odyssey 5 (Only lasted a season, but damn...)

Boardwalk Empire (for some reason the least talked about and most forgotten HBO show)

Into the Badlands (Deserved a longer life. Great martial arts action in a post-apocalypse)

Sense8 (strangers from all over the world find themselves linked mentally for some reason)
Corner Gas, brilliant comedy about a tiny Saskatchewan town set around a gas station that is connected to a diner and the oddball people that live there.
You'll come for the quaint setting, stay for the Jackass screaming Oscar.
Patriot. On Amazon prime. Dark comedy. CIA and government ineptitude.

The Patriot on amazon is one of my favourite tv shows of all time. Tragically cancelled but each episode is outstanding. Nobody's seen it!
Mr Inbetween
Because I've never met anyone else who ever watched it and I haven't been able to pirate it:
An action/comedy police procedural about a unit of the Chicago PD that manages cryptids (called "Links" in the show). A little bit like a terrestrial MIB.
- Garth Marenghi's Dark Place
- The Armando Iannucci Shows
- The Adam & Joe Show
I see you, and raise you:
- Snuffbox
- Flowers
Blood. Blood. BLOOD. Blood.
Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place
Now that’s an obscure gem and suddenly I want to hear that 80s synth song from Matt Berry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO-ZGP68-3w
I did not see Herman's Head mentioned. I've only met one other person that remembers it. Not great in a change-your-doors-of-perception for life, but a fun sitcom from the early '90s.
I remember it, the intro more than the show itself lol.
... And now I'm thinking of the show Night Court lol
We Are Lady Parts - a more recent one. Dramady following an all-girl Muslim punk band in London.
4400, but it was a wierd hybrid of superpower humans and dystopian future+ time travelling of mankind, basically in the future the wealthy/aristocratic were living in prisitne cities while everything was a version madmax and judge dredd future. threshold was another one. the "rich people" found out about the scientist going back in tiem to prevent this future, so they sent thier own agents to the past to stop it.
