What's your favorite series?

Need some recommendations before I hopefully leave soon. :)
I think mine is bojack horseman but idk

Black Mirror! Season 7 is here in a few days :)

If you're into sci-fi I recommend this show. There's no continuous plot – there's a new story in every episode so they can be watched in any order. Some good episodes I watch over and over again are:

"Nosedive" – people are rated in a social media app based on how well they fit in the norm, this has long-lasting effects on their IRL lives
"Shut Up and Dance" – a teenage boy gets caught doing something embarrassing (you can guess what) and his life becomes a nightmare
"White Bear" – a woman wakes up with no memories in a world where everyone tries to kill her

This is on Netflix but can probably be found on piracy sites too.

Game of thrones, brilliant except for last season. *chuckle*

 

[PrismHon]

A few contenders. Star Trek TNG and Star Trek DS9 are up there. I finished Breaking Bad recently and really liked that too. I think Lost would be number 1 however!

tng and ds9 are the only ones which are not an insult to intelligent people.

all other star trek stuff is just popcorn. voyager has its moments but is also already more on the brainless entertainment side.
and jj abrams put the final nail to the coffin.

for me as tv series junkie - the wire still sits on the throne.
side note for all who are not familiar with it. you have to be patient. it unfolds very slowly and you might feel the tendency to quit after a few episodes. but maybe this is less of an issue than 10 years ago cause slow storytelling got more common.

this description is a mix of something i read somewhere and own thoughts which describes pretty well the amplitude of these three tv shows imo:
- breaking bad is a psychogram of a person.
- sopranos is a psychogram of a group.
- the wire is a psychogram of a city.

House M.D. for me. Also Lie To Me and Firefly, two series cancelled before their time.

 

[LigottiIsRight]

BoJack Horseman and The good place.

 

[Alrek]

Game of thrones, brilliant except for last season. *chuckle*

I totally agree! Outside of that The Wire, Breaking Bad and Fargo stands out.

 

[AlTheObviousAlien]

Ted Lasso Omgosh if you want a feel good show.

Bojack for the most depressing show

American Dad for mindless tv

Degrassi for a "damn I wish this was my life" dissociated tv

Anything Disney throwback as a "damn I wish this was me again"

Oh and old Adult swim shows like Moral Orel, Mission Hills, Dr.Kratz, Duckman etc...

[GeneTunney]

The Sopranos. Endlessly quotable and re-watchable.

 

[Vlad Tepes]

I think the first 10 seasons of the Simpsons is literally the best series ever made. But some other series I like are King of the Hill, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Beavis and Butthead, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Twin Peaks, Crime Story, the X-Files, the Sopranos, and South Park. Also, I had a big obsession with Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul when I was 15, lol.

 

[Hystearical]

Daria

 

[Forever Sleep]

Game of Thrones.

I also love a lot of UK detective series. I'll run through all the Inspector Morse episodes annually.

I work from home and my job can be long hours and monotonous. The upside being I can put stuff on in the background. Currently really enjoying the: 'Interview with the Vampire' series on Netflix. I can see myself returning to that in future.

Attack on Titan ended some time ago but I still think about every now and then, I guess because it sort of ended up being about hating the world. Which is kinda funny because I started watching it when I was having a particularly bad time and some moments gave me a feeling of hope. I think it was the only manga I actually followed month-to-month to the end (starting when the releases were maybe a bit before halfway through).

[DemonicAngel]

Supernatural

[-RedBirdOnASkull-]

Mine is probably Ghost in the shell stand alone complex, so well done and mature, especially after the first few episode, when the plot start to take place.

 

[shampoo sniffer]

Babylon 5 was so good. Ambassador Kosh for the win.
