I’ve been rewatching my favorites (Mr. Robot, Andor, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) and I’m curious: What is your favorite show of all time? What makes that your favorite?

    Gonna go with something differrent here

    Adventure Times

    Quite long running series that starts super silly but actually does explain all the weirdness that you see from the beginning over its runtime. You think its just a cute strange setting with candy people, some magic and a planet half destroyed that looks a bit like Earth. But there’s a whole story behind it and it slowly unfolds more and more over the seasons.

    all 3 stargate series. oldtrek mostly, nutrek is just not even close, other than prodigy and lower decks, snw i find its still not good considering what other people are saying. use a different showrunner.

    maybe spn although its through comprehensive videos of the seasons which fans graciously posted on youtube, mostly s1-5. inuyasha, not yashime or whatever it is, because fans made it weird, by making it a grooming situation rin+ sesshomaru. blue gender, Fullmetal alchemist, the og series. the new one is somewhat all over place. pre-disney takeover of marvel shows. gifted, runaways, AOS.

    grimm might be up someones alley, it has a spn spin to it, and it ended as it should, and not dragged on forever like with supernatural.

    a short series, DAMAGES, with glenn close, if you ignore the network changes that included sex scences for some reason.

    medical drama: House, ER just not the last few seasons, which one of the actors became the showrunner of pitt. not any of those new ones with nobody actors i keep seeing on youtube.

    bio shows, like monsters inside me.

    netflix original: CASTLEVANIa, the first series one. the 2nd one is currently in limbo, as netflix sees which shows to cancel.

    sandman and blood of zeus if they hadnt rushed to cancelled these series.

    It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

    It’s gross, it’s wrong, it’s mean, it’s hilarious.

        1000%

        The cracks form quickly in 13, but Time’s Up for the Gang, The gang solves the bathroom problem, and the gang gets new wheels are great.

        14 has Paddy’s has a jumper, the gang solves global warming, a woman’s right to chop are good episodes. The others range from meh to always skip.

        15 was a total wash.

        And from there, I don’t care.

          i read in an article a while back they looked tired and wanted to give up by end of s14. obviously, if you know the actors, kaitlyn, charlie, rob, glenn they dont have much going on for them as far as hollywood goes. they are kinda stuck with the show they cant create. also thier bizarre behaviour, as in plastic surgery and robs name change and his questionable colloborations.

          even the isaip sub, the people were kinda shocked at robs trying to stay in hollywood elite circle.

    Twin Peaks. It’s one of the most original shows I’ve seen, and I think it manages to strike a perfect balance between mystery, drama, comedy, and general quirkiness. The third season in particular is a goddamn masterpiece imo. Also Dale Cooper has to be one of my all time favorite characters. It’s definitely not everyone’s cup of coffee though

    I was gonna say Firefly. “Objects in Space” is amazing.

    But it’s Ted Lasso, since at least once in every episode it gives me some happy or sad feels and I think we all need to feel the feels.

    There will probably be a lot of recommendations for Breaking Bad, The Wire, The Sopranos, etc., and they’re all great.

    One that tends to fly under the radar is The Americans, about a family of Soviet spies under deep cover in suburban DC. A top FBI counter-espionage agent moves in across the street, and they become close friends.

    Great writing, acting, everything. One of the very best finales I’ve ever seen.

    I always struggle to name one best thing at anything. Best movie? IDK, plenty of them are great, can’t say which is the best. Favourite colour? Depends on context. Best car? Different each week, as my mood swings. But if I had to pick one tv show and crown it the best, it would be:

    Red Dwarf

    Hands down the most viewed thing for me. That absurd British humor just clicks with me, just as Monty Python or Black Adder or Black Books did. I used to watch it to fall asleep for years, especially at the college. It was many years ago but I still remember a lot of replicas word by word.

      If you haven’t seen it, look up the German sci-fi comedy show Ijon Tichy: Raumpilot. There’s a fan translation of the first season and official English subtitles for the second season. It’s got a really good off-the-wall energy, and I don’t think it’s well enough known outside Germany.

      Red Dwarf is such good comfort TV. I don’t even generally like British humour but that show just fills me with warmth. It’s probably mostly the Cat for me if we’re being honest, but it is just a good show.

      I’m the same. Red Dwarf is the only favorite thing I really have. I still manage a watch nearly everyday and have seen it through so many times I’ve lost count.
