Hi! I am normally not an active user, but I am definitely someone who spent countless hours watching TV shows. Since I have just recently joined Lemmy, thought I can share my all-time favorite TV shows and maybe be able to get one or two new shows and have a nice discussion about them. Here is the list:

1- Mr. Robot: Deep dialogs, many different topics discussed, amazing cinematography, well-written characters, never failed to slow up (except mid season 2)

2- The Bear: Basically my newest obsession. Love the characters and the pacing of the shows. The first episode is an excellent hook for the show. Waiting for the right time to watch season 2

3- Fleabag: I loved how intimate the show gets by breaking the fourth wall. The show has some charm that sets it aside from the rest, making it refreshing to watch

4- Bojack Horseman: This may be a cartoon show, and it does start up being silly, but it is far from silly. Many ethical and philosophical concepts are discussed, and it does a great job of letting you sympathize and relate to the characters in it

5- The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel : Extremely immersive tv show. I love how they have recreated the 50s vibes both in picture and dialog. Great character development and a great journey to watch.

There are many other shows that I have loved, but if I had to pick 5 which are not entirely mainstream, these would be the one I would pick. Other shows that I have enjoyed watching are Atlanta, Severance, Queen’s Gambit, Russian Doll (at least for the first season), and Ozark.

The shows on my watchlist are The Sopranos, Succession, and Ted Lasso.

Very interested to hear your favorite shows and thoughts!

    I like and /or want to watch many of the shows already listed, so I want to add some not ITT

    The Bridge (both versions) The Tunnel (uk/french remake of The Bridge)

    Counterpart ~ what a great show and we’d had a season 2 if not for the pause because of Covid:/

    Vera ~ my all time favorite of the mystery shows.

    Strange New Worlds ~ feels like the star trek we grew up with!

    Better off Ted ~ that show was ahead of it’s time. Wish there were more than 2 seasons!!

    Often passed over, yet exceptional imo, is Marco Polo on Netflix.

    Shetland ~ Beautiful scenery along with great mysteries.

    Will Trent ~ one of the few shows I watch as it came out and was really anticipating the next weeks episode. Most shows I just wait till they’re all out. This one got me hooked right out the gate.

    The Stranger ~ by Harlen Coben on Netflix.

    Alaska Daily ~ cool setting and great topics

    Quantum Leap (new one) Was pleasantly surprised and lok forward to the next season
