From on MGM+ is absolutely fantastic. I love the mystery, the horror, and everything else about it. I am excited to see where it goes. I also absolutely love Foundation on Apple TV+, amazing CGI and fantastic world (or universe) building.

    . Rilley, Ace Of Spies, a mini series about the life of spy, Sidney Rilley, directed by Martin Campbell who would go on to direct James Bond film ‘Casino Royale’.

    . Tracey Takes On…, you may not of heard of Tracey Ullman but you’ve felt her impact. She is most known for being the woman who kinda created The Simpsons. Back in 87 Ullman commissioned Matt Groening to some shorts for the ‘Tracey Ullman Show’ which go on to become ‘The Simpsons’ we know and love today.

    . Drawn Together, if you like adult animated comedy on the lines of Family Guy or American Dad with the satire and social critique of South Park and The Boondocks you’ll love Drawn Together.

    Hands down it has to be Fringe, amazing cast, great premise and manages to transition from monster of the week - a la X Files - to a fully immersive story that is action packed and tugs at your heartstrings. I’m not sure what platform it’s available on these days, but I’m sure you can sail the high seas if need be.

    Oh, and it’s 5 seasons that actually has an ending, unlike many shows on streaming these days!

      Utopia (Channel 4) has an impeccable vibe. I’m really sad that we didn’t get more of it because of the drama with rights after Amazon bought them

    First thing that popped into my mind: Galavant. It’s a prime time network fantasy comedy from a writer of Cars and Tangled, teamed up with the composer from Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.

    It’s like if The Princess Bride was two seasons of musical television with songs from the golden 90’s era of Disney. In a just world, it’d have six seasons and a movie.

      Oh Galavant, Galavant

      It’s the only show where I’ve sat down with multiple people and forced them to watch.

      So far it was all success, and everyone loved it. I’ve seen the whole show more times than anything else, and the soundtrack is coming back to my music rotation from time to time.

      It’s just a superb production, with great sets, amazing actors, and absolutely bonkers soundtrack.

    I really enjoyed “Travellers” a 3 season showcase/Netflix time travel show where time travellers possess the bodies of people right before they are going to die and try to stop the apocalypse.

        It has a real ending, Season 3 ends in away that would make if difficult (but not impossible) to continue the show.

          but netflix does and that’s what i’m referring to; i’ve been avoiding starting any netflix shows because of it.

          thanks for sharing; now that i know it has an ending i’ll finish watch it.

    ‘Midnight Mass’ somehow completely went under my radar first, but DAMN, that was a great mini series!

    Pantheon.

    Really thoughtful and smart sci-fi animation. Don’t want to spoil it so I’ll be vague, it has the most realistic depiction of modern tech and how people interact with it than any other show I’ve seen. Really great commentary on big tech corporations and even a bit of geopolitics. Super ambitious yet it somehow pulls it off.

    There is also a scene that still gives me nightmares (not even joking, I still dream about that shit) which is more than any horror movies or shows have done for me. Anyone who has watched it knows exactly what scene I’m talking about.

    Lexx - The Dark Zone.

    Pure Canadian-German Madness with a really great cast and the wildest stories ever. And what other show has a certified anti hero as starship captain?

      I didn’t know this had a show, I found a random VHS of The Lexx movie at a thrift store and watched that though, odd movie, but I keep watching it. I guess I need to download the show now!

    I don’t recall how I heard about For All Mankind, and I never see it mentioned very much, but I have had such a great time watching that.

    It’s an alternate history of the space race from the 60s onward, and it’s so exciting to watch what could have been. Each season jumps forward a decade, so the advances in missions and tech keep leaping forward.

    If you grew up thinking we should be pioneering space by now, you will probably enjoy it.

      I absolutely love For All Mankind. Such a great show, although it has been lacking in terms of intensity in recent seasons

    Revolutionary Girl Utena - a well-polished 90s show with surreal direction and a very good soundtrack
