  • The BSG remake series is the GOAT
  • TNG and Voyager. (Never got into DS9...too much religious hibbidy-jibbidy and scenery chewing from Sisko...come at me, bro.)
  • Stargate Atlantis (And of course SG1, though on the whole I think Atlantis was the superior show)
  • Bojack Horseman (Because I credit that show for finally getting a handle on my own mental health)

And yes...I realise the hypocrisy of not liking DS9 because of its religious hibbidy-jibbidy, but calling BSG the GOAT. I have no answer for you. Maybe the Bajoran religion itself was just stupid.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 43 minutes ago

Haunting of Hill House was really good.

BSG… Big Scary Guy? Boobs Sex Guns? Beavers Selling Green? Brave Snew Gworld?

No offense, but your post reads like a military dudebro’s war story. Introduce initialisms the first time, please. I knew a few of them through context clues, but not everyone will.

Hard to pick, so here are a bunch I love:

  • Game of Thrones (until it got bad, but the early seasons were amazing)
  • True detective season 1
  • Attack on Titan
  • Pantheon (Second season is on youtube)
  • Breaking Bad
  • Better Call Saul
  • Bojack Horseman
  • Fleabag
  • Altered carbon season 1
  • Rick and Morty (early seasons. Maybe 1-4 or so)
  • Invincible so far

Psych. A cliche “murder mystery of the week” show has no business being as wholesome, kind, friendly, and upbeat as Psych. I realized a few years ago when I was going through some personal issues and had started rewatching Psych that it was helping me deal with the stress, and it wasn’t the first time I’ve done that with the show.

Maybe a year ago I went to Psych’s first convention near Chicago. It was both surprising and reassuring to hear other fans go up to ask the actors questions and they all shared similar stories to me. People have used to show to help them briefly escape from challenging situations from dealing with the death of loved ones all the way to someone using it as background TV while trying to study in medical school.

One of the few things I miss from Reddit is the active Psych subreddit over there.

Also, the 80’s references are fantastic.

[–] Drax_@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I find it interesting how many people I've seen on Reddit (just started using Lemmy) say psych. It's not my favorite, but clearly there's a very positive sentiment.

Family Guy!

[–] Lootboblin@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

There are too many but I name one: Fawlty Towers

[–] Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 13 hours ago

Some that come to mind, and merely in order I thought of them:

  • Danger Five
  • Green Wing
  • Blackadder
  • Clone High
  • Puella Magi Madoka Magica
  • Cowboy Bebop
  • Flight of the Conchords
  • Inside No. 9
  • The Wire
  • Atlanta

Only finished shows considered, as a poor ending can ruin a show.

Star trek the next generation and deep space nine Battlestar Galactica The Orville

Yes, I'm a sci-fi nerd

Have you watched the Expanse? I highly recommend it.

Oh I forgot Malcom in the Middle. +1 to that.

[–] myusernameis@lemmy.ca 9 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Bob's Burgers hands down. It's just constantly showcases the wholesomeness I want to see in the world.

It shows a constantly imperfect world, and family, friends, and community standing together to survive it.

I could write a thesis, but I'm crying thinking about that Christmas episode now, you know the one.

"You love your family."

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

This is hard.

  • Avatar: The Last Airbender + The Legend of Korra together. Don’t even get me started (actually please do).

  • Pantheon. Dense, proper sci fi, criminally and tragically suppressed IRL. Watch it, right now.

  • I am really loving Severance so far.

  • Arcane is up there, maybe as most artistic.

  • Star Wars: Andor. Not a huge Star Wars fan, but it’s so good, and grounded. It has everything.

I have a lot of "secondary" favorites I am excluding here, like The Expanse, Person of Interest, Fringe, The Americans, Narcos, Mythbusters, and such for various reasons, but are still amazing.

[–] Toes@ani.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

+1 for Avatar. Such a phenomenal cast of characters and world building. Korra got really weird but I still appreciate it.

For a recent anime, Delicious in Dungeon is excellent!

Futurama will always hold a special place in my heart

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 7 points 22 hours ago

The Good Place. Perfect show, 10/10

[–] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Easily Star Trek: The Next Generation. It's mystery, sci-fi, action, drama, and period pieces (holo deck episodes). It has a bit of everything. Plus it's a hopeful vision of the future.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fringe. Love that shit, watched the whole thing 10x.

It's a tough choice between Futurama and Mythbusters

[–] kabi@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

Well, I did just start rewatching Community for the n-th time...

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago

Ghost In The Shell, Haibane Renmei, and Gurren Lagann share the #1 spot for animated

Psych takes 1st place for live action

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Stargate (sg1 and Atlantis)

[–] white_nrdy@programming.dev 1 points 7 hours ago

SG1 represent. A lot of people say it's old and campy, but I love it so much

I've seen Archer far too many times. Funniest animated I've ever seen and I kinda want to watch it again. Gotta stop when the writers change at s10 tho.

Patriot is an amazing TV show that I've seen three times. It's a thriller, I guess. Quite funny but they play it straught. Reminds me of Fargo.

Edit because how on earth did I not mention True Detective season 1.

These three shows I will definitely watch again when I get time. Amazing attention to detail in each of them.
