4400, but it was a wierd hybrid of superpower humans and dystopian future+ time travelling of mankind, basically in the future the wealthy/aristocratic were living in prisitne cities while everything was a version madmax and judge dredd future. threshold was another one. the "rich people" found out about the scientist going back in tiem to prevent this future, so they sent thier own agents to the past to stop it.

Ask a Ninja (early YouTube channel)
Oh man, Ask a Ninja just unlocked a core memory that I had buried. What a perfect example of early Internet comedy.
Space above and beyond died too young. It was such an awesome scifi show with some really mind blowing good episodes

Danger 5. Greatest Australian comedy of all time. https://youtu.be/0Z09bNgSeMI
This was hilarious. Every episode final ending somewhat the same way 👌
The trailer sold me on it, downloading now
It's so good. I watch it once a year
Corner Gas, brilliant comedy about a tiny Saskatchewan town set around a gas station that is connected to a diner and the oddball people that live there.
You'll come for the quaint setting, stay for the Jackass screaming Oscar.
If you like Severence, you really need to see Dollhouse. Only 2 seasons, complete story. Slow start, but it doesn't go where you expect, it's a complete story, and Dichen Lachman (Gemma Scout) plays basically the same role.

The Leftovers - 2% of the worlds population just vanishes. Enough to freak people out but not cause the complete collapse of civilization.
The Endgame - High class criminal commits crimes by way of getting herself arrested. There's only 1 season. Ignore the last ~10 minutes of the last episode and the story wraps up fine.
Counterpart - Mid-level bureaucrat finds out there's a doorway to a parallel dimension with whom the world's been in a secret cold war
The Patriot on amazon is one of my favourite tv shows of all time. Tragically cancelled but each episode is outstanding. Nobody's seen it!
Raised by Wolves. It was killed by HBO around the time of the discovery merger thing, but was a fully written (creator originally wrote it as a book, and then made it into a screenplay) and unique show. Produced by and has some directing from Ridley Scott.
The show follows two androids, Mother and Father, raising a human child alone on a desolate planet after fleeing a dying earth controlled by hi-tech zealots. This new home might be far more related to them than they realize, and maybe not always so desolate. It blends mysticism and sci-fi in a really fun way, and I will never not be angry I don't get to see how it ends.

Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place
Now that’s an obscure gem and suddenly I want to hear that 80s synth song from Matt Berry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO-ZGP68-3w
Comrade Detective
Fictional 1980s Romanian buddy-cop propaganda tv show promoting Soviet communism - filmed in 2017. Dubbed into English with voices including:
Channing Tatum Joseph Gordon-Levitt Nick Offerman Jenny Slate Jason Mantzoukas John DiMaggio
It’s fucking amazing
Because I've never met anyone else who ever watched it and I haven't been able to pirate it:
An action/comedy police procedural about a unit of the Chicago PD that manages cryptids (called "Links" in the show). A little bit like a terrestrial MIB.
These don’t seem obscure to me but most folks I know have never heard of them:
What We Do in the Shadows
Sealab 2021
Parks and Rec
Party Down
Freaks and Geeks
Venture Bros
If you liked what we do in the shadows...
Wellington Paranormal - it's about the police tasked with investigating all the dumb shit that goes on in what we do in the shadows. Gold.
Sealab 2021 is classic Adult Swim. Same with Venture Bros. Love them both!
Do you live in Serbia or something?

I guess in this case obscure differs a lot geographically, but I definitely know places where they are almost completely unknown.

Flash Foward was an interesting series, sadly it end on a major cliffhanger and was never continued.
