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!

    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 :)
