I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships. I also like sci fi and weirdness. For these reasons, two of my favorite shows are The Expanse and Severance. In both, by the end, I felt like I was “part of the team” in some way.

What are a couple of your favorites? What kind of itch do they scratch?

You better get on that Scavengers Reign train. There's only one season right now, but it rules, especially from a "weirdness" perspective, and there's not going to be more unless it gets some more attention.

Elsewhere in this thread, I suggested Joe Pera.

Joe Pera works with a lot of other "Joes." Like Jo Firestone and Jo Scott in his show, but also animator Joe Bennett, creator of Scavenger's Reign.

Joe Pera's bathroom book is illustrated by Joe Bennett, and Joe Pera voices at least one of Joe Bennett's short films.

Honestly, I fucking love that there is crossover between these two, because they're both brilliant, thoughtful, and touching in their own way.

Also, I just love that its a weird network of people somehow all named Joe.
