Others have already recommended Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls, and Galavant. All are worth another mention.
I'm surprised only one other person mentioned Final Space. At first glance you might think, "Oh, it's just a Rick and Morty knock off." You'd be wrong. It's much more Futurama in tone than it is Rick and Morty. I'm not afraid to admit Final Space is the only cartoon I've watched as a grown man that made me cry. On multiple occasions. It hits you right in the feels, hard.
There have been a veritable ton of amazing shows from Adult Swim that flew under the radar. My three favorite are:
Comrade Detective
Fictional 1980s Romanian buddy-cop propaganda tv show promoting Soviet communism - filmed in 2017. Dubbed into English with voices including:
Channing Tatum Joseph Gordon-Levitt Nick Offerman Jenny Slate Jason Mantzoukas John DiMaggio
It’s fucking amazing
Flash Foward was an interesting series, sadly it end on a major cliffhanger and was never continued.
Brickleberry
Otherworld.
"On The Air"
The Almighty Johnsons
Cleverman
Haven
Charlie Jade
Lost Room
Earth2
ZeroZeroZero is a great crime mini series about the drugs trade. Stellar cast.
Lots of great classic recs here.
I'm gonna just add two that are relatively recent.
The Last Man On Earth AP Bio
Lexx, a show about a giant dragonfly spaceship that destroys planets and the creepy cowardly idiot who somehow lucked into becoming the single person in the two universes that it obeys. And an undead assassin-warrior-poet. And a woman who survived a botched "love slave" transformation. And a weird robot head.
It's outrageously strange and strangely horny and hornily gross. Highly recommend if you like weird TV.
I always mention this one, but The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.
It's got Bruce Campbell in it (Army of darkness) And he plays a cowboy as the lead character where he goes on wacky steampunk-filled hijinks and adventures through the Old West.
it came out in the early 90s and you can watch it for free on tubiTV.
Fun fact, a lot of the old timey western movies used a particular set and the Adventures of Brisco County Jr. was the last show to use that set.
When they finished it was torn down.
Another fun fact, you've heard the theme song.
It's now used in the Olympics when America plays.
It's a fucking amazing show.
If you like Severence, you really need to see Dollhouse. Only 2 seasons, complete story. Slow start, but it doesn't go where you expect, it's a complete story, and Dichen Lachman (Gemma Scout) plays basically the same role.
As far as I can remember, Dichen Lachman has never been in anything that wasn't science fiction. Altered Carbon, The Last Ship, Dollhouse, and Severance. I'd check her imdb but it would ruin my wierd fanboy theory.
