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!

Shit I watch too much TV lol, I’ll add more if I remember any that I’m missing
I am so sad that Mindhunter hasn’t had another season yet, I loved that show!
Agreed Mindhuter was really good, I’m surprised they haven’t made more
Some comedy must-watch shows:
Love WWDITS!
Good list. I’d add The Sopranos and The Wire
Just gonna drop Avatar: The Last Airbender in here.
Starts out a lil slow but it’s an absolute masterpiece. It’s also still pretty funny and entertaining in general as an adult
A few more favs I didn’t see listed:
Baskets, Our Flag Means Death, How To with John Wilson
Highly recommend White Lotus to everyone. Both seasons are hilarious, but filled with some of the most intensely emotional and raw, flawed characters. In season two, I at different times loved, pitied, and hated almost every single character in the show. I need to re-watch them both now…
Six Feet Under
Yes it’s a good show.
The Shield belongs, in my opinion. And one of my wife and I’s absolute favorites ever is animal kingdom. That show is fire
My current obsession is Yellowjackets on Showtime.
It’s not bad, I just feel like the writers don’t have a plan. After the first season it’s like they’re making it up as they go.
Ive been really impressed with Back Sails. Just about to start the final season.
It doesn’t take itself too seriously and the characters are all very likeable.
Idk I think it’s worth a watch if your in need a of a good adventure.
My favourite show ever. There is nothing else like it. Closest thing is probably The Expanse but that’s a very different setting (though lots of parallels can be drawn). It also wrapped up perfectly.
Forgot about The Expanse! Have to rewatch that from the start because I only made it most of the way through season 1, loved it tho
Season 1 is the roughest. That’s one more thing both shows have in common :)
