I’ve been rewatching my favorites (Mr. Robot, Andor, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) and I’m curious: What is your favorite show of all time? What makes that your favorite?
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
It’s gross, it’s wrong, it’s mean, it’s hilarious.
Mecha Shiva! Mecha Shiva!
Doctor Who.
I was gonna say Firefly. “Objects in Space” is amazing.
But it’s Ted Lasso, since at least once in every episode it gives me some happy or sad feels and I think we all need to feel the feels.
all 3 stargate series. oldtrek mostly, nutrek is just not even close, other than prodigy and lower decks, snw i find its still not good considering what other people are saying. use a different showrunner.
maybe spn although its through comprehensive videos of the seasons which fans graciously posted on youtube, mostly s1-5. inuyasha, not yashime or whatever it is, because fans made it weird, by making it a grooming situation rin+ sesshomaru. blue gender, Fullmetal alchemist, the og series. the new one is somewhat all over place. pre-disney takeover of marvel shows. gifted, runaways, AOS.
grimm might be up someones alley, it has a spn spin to it, and it ended as it should, and not dragged on forever like with supernatural.
a short series, DAMAGES, with glenn close, if you ignore the network changes that included sex scences for some reason.
Better call Saul. It was the show breaking bad tried to be.
Quantum Leap is the gold standard for me.
Runners up: Night Court, Better Call Saul, Bojack Horseman, and The Twilight Zone. Those are all shows I have rewatched multiple times.
I love Bojack so much but I know myself well enough to know that when I start a rewatch it’s time to schedule an appointment with my counsellor.
I earned these neurosis and I’m keepin’ them.
Scrubs and Hogans Heros
I think Trailer Park Boys up to the end of the Swayze Express arc
Twin Peaks. It’s one of the most original shows I’ve seen, and I think it manages to strike a perfect balance between mystery, drama, comedy, and general quirkiness. The third season in particular is a goddamn masterpiece imo. Also Dale Cooper has to be one of my all time favorite characters. It’s definitely not everyone’s cup of coffee though
The Return is thoroughly good. 💯
It’s really hard to say, there’s severance, breaking bad, generation kill, common side effects
and a lot of good tv shows out there
The Sopranos
Except for the ending. I hated the ending so much that I’ve learned to write screenplays so I could write a mob show with a better ending.
I didn’t hate the ending. He knew the end was coming. They talked about what it would be like to get shot in the head. The last couple seasons were Tony and Carmella coming to terms with Tony dying/getting arrested.
Classic MTV. Saturday morning toons.
The Simpsons.
There will probably be a lot of recommendations for Breaking Bad, The Wire, The Sopranos, etc., and they’re all great.
One that tends to fly under the radar is The Americans, about a family of Soviet spies under deep cover in suburban DC. A top FBI counter-espionage agent moves in across the street, and they become close friends.
Great writing, acting, everything. One of the very best finales I’ve ever seen.
