What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows?

[u/Lilyana0999]

[u/jchandler4]

How To with John Wilson 

[u/EsquimauxQuinn → u/jchandler4]

I learned everything I know about scaffolding from this show.

[u/mr_bearcules → u/jchandler4]

Love this. It’s almost like a Covid lockdown time capsule

[u/bjankles → u/jchandler4]

There is truly nothing else like it. It's hard to even describe to people what it is, and pretty much impossible to do so while conveying any of the appeal.

Beneath the humor of the show lies an aching humanity. Wilson often finds such rich empathy for his subjects and can find profundity in the strangest or most banal events. The vacuum cleaner episode made me cry when I first watched it - now that I have a son with autism, I find so much beauty and hope in that episode.

[u/vanillathebest]

« nobody knows » and people are mentioning Chernobyl. Please focus.

[u/ABigPairOfCrocs → u/vanillathebest]

You guys heard of Better Call Saul? Super underrated

[u/carbonrich → u/ABigPairOfCrocs]

There's this show about a mafia boss in therapy...

[u/hobblingcontractor → u/ABigPairOfCrocs]

What about this unknown, underrated gem called The Wire?

[u/GenGaara25 → u/vanillathebest]

It's always the paradox of these threads.

People upvote the ones they agree with. To agree with it they need to have seen it. So top answers are always ones a lot of people have seen. The actual 10/10's nobody knows wouldn't get any upvotes, because nobody would have seen it.

[u/Heroiism]

TURN

Was on during AMCs golden era of The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy, so it was definitely overshadowed. Takes places during the American Revolutionary War and focuses on the real life Culper spy ring. The actor who voices the current version of Call of Dutys "Ghost" is one of the main bad guys and is one of my favourite characters ever.

Everybody who I've convinced to watch it absolutely loved it.

[u/Laythe]

Counterpart with J.K. Simmons, his performance is exceptional, and the writing solid

[u/LiveChocolate8819 → u/Laythe]

Hell yeah, I wish it went longer so the ending didn't feel so rushed.

[u/aigenuinestupidity → u/LiveChocolate8819]

they cancelled season 3, not because of ratings, not because of budget, not because of viewership. the reason is far more idiotic. the stupidest reason you can imagine, and double it down.

Per Deadline:

"Starz COO Jeffrey Hirsch addressed the cancellation at the TCA summer press tour and admitted that the show’s audience was “too male” to fit into its new female-focused strategy.

“Counterpart was a great show, we had great partners in MRC and Justin is a great writer, but it was a very complicated show, a very male show. We had picked that show up and made a two season commitment before we’d honed in on this premium female strategy,” he said."

What the fuck is premium female strategy? this fucker thinks women are too stupid to follow the show? what the fuck does core female audience even mean? fuck you hirsch.

edit: here is the source, because it is hard to believe.

[u/Loki-ra → u/aigenuinestupidity]

Jeez oh, didn't know this. As a female fan of the show I was obviously too dense to understand it 🤷‍♂️

[u/FakeSafeWord → u/Loki-ra]

Shoo! Back to the Bravo network with you where you belong!\

[u/Past-Feature3968]

Fisk

Australia lawyer workplace comedy, available on Netflix in the US

Oh or The Other Two… omg what an underrated gem of a clever, jokes-by-the-minute HBO comedy!

[u/GruntPickle → u/Past-Feature3968]

Fisk is so amazing. I’ll bring the mud cake. 

[u/MurseMan1964 → u/Past-Feature3968]

Fisk is great. Deadloch is another gem

[u/asafetybuzz → u/Past-Feature3968]

If you love Fisk, I can't recommend enough Kitty Flanagan's other brilliant Australian workplace comedy show Utopia. The funniest part is that she plays a COMPLETELY different character than Fisk but is equally incredible.

https://youtu.be/G729kPP4EAE?si=RcReBn_nj2gqjG-w

[u/EAGuy8 → u/asafetybuzz]

Utopia is so good. Be warned though, if you work in Government, or Construction Project Management, it can be too accurate... So a solid laugh/cry/PTSD response is normal for those viewers.

[u/chesterT3 → u/Past-Feature3968]

The Other Two is one of the only shows where I seriously laugh out loud at nearly every joke, every episode no matter how many times I’ve seen it!

[u/weenur]

Somebody Somewhere

[u/Witne55 → u/weenur]

Jeff Hiller got an emmy for his part in the final season

[u/Carefree_Highway → u/weenur]

So good. Gave One Mississippi vibes which is another good one

[u/Walter_Whities]

A Young Doctor’s Notebook. Not sure how it’s not as popular especially since it has both Daniel Radcliffe and Jon Hamm.

[u/LMBH1234182 → u/Walter_Whities]

The only thing I remember from that show is when he has to amputate the leg and you’re expecting it to cut to him being done and it just keeps going and going and going. So fucking funny.

[u/monstrinhotron → u/Walter_Whities]

that show felt like a weird dream that only i had. I watched it on some dodgy streaming site then it disappeared and no-one has ever heard of it and when i describe it i sound absolutely insane.

[u/Shraaap]

Mr in-between, an Australian series. Brilliant.

[u/ShortbusHookers → u/Shraaap]

I stumbled across this. Then the ice cream scene happened and I was hooked.

[u/jim_cap → u/ShortbusHookers]

I stumbled on the ice cream scene on YouTube. I was hooked before I knew what it was.

Run.

[u/HeyItsTheJeweler → u/Shraaap]

Tremendous show, absolutely loved it

Raw sandwiches is such a hilarious way to put it

[u/Equivalent-Bread7924 → u/Shraaap]

Soy sauce on ya dimmies ya mad cunt!

[u/Leather-Art-1823 → u/Shraaap]

Seen loads of shorts on YouTube for this, it looks so good, the main actor is superb

[u/MaximusSydney → u/Shraaap]

Amazing show, I recommend it to everyone with good taste that I know!

[u/Frylock1717 → u/Shraaap]

I've watched it all the way through three times. Its So. Freaking. Good. Every actor does phenomenal. The fact that the guy who plays Bruce does not actually have MND or any disorder, blew me away. He was great along with everyone else.

[u/badbog42 → u/Shraaap]

Probably the greatest TV series I've seen.

And what an ending.

[u/kedarguru]

Review (2014-2017)

[u/ConsequenceOdd7789]

Detectorists. BBC iPlayer.

[u/cactus_zack → u/ConsequenceOdd7789]

Absolutely loved this show. I think I had to watch all three seasons on different platforms.

[u/Shraaap]

Party down. Brilliant comedy show

[u/RollOverBeethoven → u/Shraaap]

Are we having fun yet?!

[u/djprecio → u/RollOverBeethoven]

I said don't serve them two jiggers

[u/BieTea → u/djprecio]

That's an RDD

[u/GodsIWasStrongg → u/Shraaap]

The episode when they get stoned makes me absolutely lose it. Truly one of the funniest episodes of TV ever. Such a good show.

[u/SonOfMcGee → u/GodsIWasStrongg]

Them doing the “Jackal Onassis afterparty” was my favorite. The guy who plays a McPoyle brother on It’s Always Sunny essentially doing a parody version of Marylin Manson cracks me up.
The guest stars in general are great. They often steal the show.

[u/sheetskees → u/Shraaap]

Ken Marino should’ve been bigger than he is.

[u/darthmaul4114 → u/Shraaap]

And the cast also A+. Love the first two seasons

[u/ice-eight → u/Shraaap]

Ugh… dragons aren’t hard sci fi, they’re fantasy

[u/brainspl0ad]

It was only one season, wish there were more: Wayne.

I feel like a lot of FX shows redditors know, but not much of the general public. Reservation Dogs, Atlanta, and Dave to name a few. People might know the names but I haven't talked about these shows with very many people outside of reddit. FX makes some bangers.

[u/schultmh → u/brainspl0ad]

Wayne!! Great call. So effing good

[u/Drmarsh → u/brainspl0ad]

Legion was really good too.

[u/nosferatubites]

Garth Marenghis Dark Place super funny campy comedy poking fun at hospital dramas written by a horror writer who chews the scenery

[u/Pina318]

The Detectorists. It should be prescribed for mental health as therapy.

[u/For_Fox_Creek]

Galavant. It's a musical, so not everyone's cup of tea, but for what is it is, it's absolutely a 10/10. Monty Python meets Disney with subversive storytelling and great characters.

[u/Ok-Wish-2640 → u/For_Fox_Creek]

The stupidest show ever…in ALL the right ways. Monty Python meets Disney is a great description.

[u/the-hound-abides → u/Ok-Wish-2640]

I have a DRAGON!!!!

[u/the-hound-abides → u/For_Fox_Creek]

I was sold the second Madalena decided she’s rather have the money. It’s glorious.

[u/katbreit → u/the-hound-abides]

When my husband introduced me to this show, he gave me a rundown of the plot “a hero goes to rescue his maiden from the king who abducted her to marry her and then she ends up deciding to stay and marry the king instead”

I was a little disappointed he spoiled the show for me, only to find out that it all happens in the first episode 😂

[u/D-MotivationalPoster → u/For_Fox_Creek]

I had heard the songwriters/composers for that show had worked on The Little Mermaid and Tangled, so it definitely a Disney type feel to it.

And a Weird Al cameo never hurts

[u/pellakins33 → u/For_Fox_Creek]

I super-believe in you, Tad Cooper!

[u/Top_Drawer → u/For_Fox_Creek]

The opening number to season 2 and how meta it was is a highlight for me. The show knew what it was and even acknowledged how lucky they got even getting a season 2 order.

[u/Fred_the_skeleton → u/For_Fox_Creek]

I can't believe I had to scroll so far for this!

Galavant is absolute perfection!

[u/Smoose1991]

Deadloch. Renewed for a second season 🙌

[u/shocksmybrain]

The Life and Times of Tim

[u/DubaiDave]

Colin from accounts - I think Australian of I remember correctly.

[u/Motor_Classic9651]

Future Man - so funny and good.

[u/panspal → u/Motor_Classic9651]

He should give wolf his dick back

[u/CanRova → u/Motor_Classic9651]

I'd go rathole to rathole.

[u/mksurfin7 → u/Motor_Classic9651]

I think this was on Hulu too early, when nobody knew Hulu, and they didn't properly market it as a takeoff on Terminator. Once I finally gave the show a chance it became one of my favorite shows of all time.

[u/GhostInTheSock → u/mksurfin7]

I will never forget the part where wolf becomes a chef. Hilarious

[u/kznfkznf → u/Motor_Classic9651]

I can't believe Future Man didn't become a phenomenon. The room full of bodies will just make me laugh from time to time out of nowhere.

[u/-gildash- → u/Motor_Classic9651]

SO FUCKING GOOD.

The sheer amount of weirdness they embraced was impressive. Huge changes in tempo, settings, etc.

Wolf might be my favorite comedic character ever.

[u/Giant81]

Almost human.

Sci fi buddy cop series.

[u/NotPennysBoat_42 → u/Giant81]

Almost Human was fantastic. I wish it had more than one season. I wanted to know what was on the other side of that wall!

[u/612Killa → u/Giant81]

Searched for this first before posting. It was criminal this was cancelled, so much potential.

[u/TheNihil → u/612Killa]

Not just cancelled, but Fox did what Fox does and aired the episodes out of order, which is why the overarching plot seemed to just come and go randomly.

[u/Skooger]

Halt and Catch Fire

[u/Jskrande → u/Skooger]

The acting in the show is off the charts. Lee Pace, Scoot McNairy, Mackenzie Davis, Toby Huss, and Kerry Bishé among others. Absolutely stacked cast IMO.

There are very few shows that I think about all the time, but this is one of them (and haven’t watched it since it ended in 2017).

Also, the intro freaking slaps.

[u/quasarsphere2 → u/Skooger]

Oh, that one is AWESOME! I was hooked from the opening bars of the theme music. I thought it was cool that they got someone to do what sounded rather like late 80s Tangerine Dream. Then I saw the credits, and the music was by Paul Haslinger, who was a member of Tangerine Dream in the late 80s.

[u/amsync → u/Skooger]

So good with such accurate depiction of that time and moment in history. Really good acting as well

[u/play_or_draw → u/Skooger]

God bless AMC giving this four seasons.

[u/ManBehavingBadly → u/Skooger]

That series was really special.

[u/smoothallday → u/Skooger]

One of my favorite shows all time.

[u/JarvisFunk]

Man Seeking Woman

[u/the-big-thorbowski12 → u/JarvisFunk]

Loved this show. Was hooked from episode 1 with the war room discussion on how to text the girl back lmao

[u/AstonFartin33 → u/JarvisFunk]

Such a sleeper from that era of FX.

[u/two_beards]

In The Flesh.

After the zombie uprising, treated zombies are reintegrated into society.

[u/oneeyedwillienelson]

Terriers

[u/jimvo99]

The Knick.

[u/supergooduser → u/jimvo99]

Oh man, phenomenal answer.

Hospital show set at the turn of the century, where modern medicine is advancing fast but still a lot of legitimate mad science type stuff going on.

The first episode has a great quote of "Your surgeries have a 50% success rate, that's incredibly how do you achieve such amazing results?"

[u/BrideOfFirkenstein]

Wellington Paranormal is so much fun and hilarious. It’s the same creators/universe as What We Do in the Shadows. I’ve never heard anyone mention it.

Also no one ever seems to talk about/know about TaskMaster and it is my favorite show ever. It’s all free on YouTube. Start with the OG British version then move on to New Zealand and the other international versions when you go into withdrawal when you run out.

[u/Icy_Man_5446]

If you're from Canada it's probably pretty well known (I'm not), but otherwise never met anyone who knew what Corner Gas was and just how good it is

[u/ImLaunchpadMcQuack]

Rectify

[u/billgarmsarmy → u/ImLaunchpadMcQuack]

This is always my answer to questions like this. One of the best television shows of all time and nobody seems to know about it.

[u/renedotmac → u/ImLaunchpadMcQuack]

If that show had been on a major streamer or network, it would’ve won awards every season. So freakin good.

[u/lawndartdesign]

Kevin Can F*ck Himself

[u/NotAlwaysGifs → u/lawndartdesign]

The plot was maybe 7/10 for me, but the acting and use of cinematography to shift the mood of the show was 12/10 absolutely brilliant.

[u/Doctor_Spacemann → u/NotAlwaysGifs]

I’m a lighting technician for film and TV, and when I watched that show I was super impressed that they were able to pull off the contrasting looks using the same set, and so fluidly at that. Excellent lighting programmer and Gaffer. Adrian Correia, the DP is an awesome and talented dude.

[u/TheGazelle → u/NotAlwaysGifs]

I feel like that's kinda part of it.

Like those 90s/00s sitcoms that it's parodying have absolute garbage plots, so with half the show being "that" and the other half being "the consequences of 'that' which you never got to see before", you kinda just have to accept that it's there to serve the meta plot so to speak.

[u/bakerton → u/TheGazelle]

Yeah I loved their strict adherence to making a legit b minus 90's sitcom. I think it added to the feeling of her being trapped.

[u/Teledildonic → u/NotAlwaysGifs]

The shift where Kevin is finally in the "real" world...goddamn that scene was tense.

[u/Seed0fDiscord → u/lawndartdesign]

Love the show, I bring it up in family and relationship lecture in my talking points on domestic abuse especially how it doesn’t be physical to be insidious

[u/cryptoishan]

Patriot (2015–2018, Amazon Prime)

[u/SlicedLime → u/cryptoishan]

Might be one of my all time favorites. Dark, hilarious, and oddly heart warming/breaking.

[u/sharkWrangler → u/cryptoishan]

Nice. This is the one I was looking for because I watched the whole thing, loved it, but nobody has ever heard of it.

[u/AdviceNotAskedFor → u/sharkWrangler]

I stand by this show suffering because it has a bad name.

It's quite possibly my favorite show.  It's amazing.

[u/dego_frank → u/cryptoishan]

It’s double great.

[u/Beartech31 → u/cryptoishan]

Patriot and Mr. Inbetween are my two favourite shows. Bummed I didn't get to say either first in this thread but also pumped that I'm not alone in my appreciation.

Solid 10/10s

[u/pmuniversal → u/cryptoishan]

I tell anyone who asks for a good show about this one. Kurtwood Smith’s spiral is insane.

[u/Voderama]

Joe Pera Talks With You

[u/Bloated_Hamster → u/Voderama]

I randomly found "Joe Pera Talks you to Sleep" on YouTube when I was going through a rough patch a few years ago and it helped me calm down and actually sleep. I listened to it nightly for like 3 weeks. Not sure why it hit my brain so hard but it did and now it's nostalgic AF for me.

[u/austinthrowaway91]

United States of Tara.

[u/BrideOfFirkenstein → u/austinthrowaway91]

You mean Toni Collete’s acting masterclass?

[u/Bugout-2020]

In the US, I don't come across many people that know about Peep Show, and the force that is Super Hans.

[u/GottaUseEmAll → u/Bugout-2020]

"That crack's really moreish."

"I ran to Windsor!"

"We're men with ven"

So many good quotes.

[u/Ieatclowns]

Dead Like Me

[u/NinjaInTheAttic → u/Ieatclowns]

Bryan Fuller is the king of cancelled too early shows. Dead Like Me is one of my all time favorite shows. I might be mistaken but I remember reading that it got cancelled because Showtime got a new CEO and he simply didn't like the show. It had nothing to do with ratings.

[u/Maladaptive_Ace → u/NinjaInTheAttic]

as someone who worked on a Bryan Fuller show once (many years ago), the reason his shows get cancelled is not because of the creative aspect of the shows, but because Bryan Fuller is a narcissistic lunatic and difficult to work with

Edited for spelling

[u/GuestCartographer → u/Ieatclowns]

It will need cease to amaze me that, between the golden trio of Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, and Hannibal, the show about the literal cannibal has been Fuller’s most successful and widely known.

[u/HealthyByte → u/GuestCartographer]

Pushing Daisies was a great show. The visuals were so fun!

[u/shteve99 → u/GuestCartographer]

Don't forget Wonderfalls.

[u/dergibrah → u/Ieatclowns]

“Delores Herbig, as in her-big-fat-ass”.

Dead Like Me has been my comfort show since it aired. While I wish it would have had a third season I don’t think there’s much further they could have taken it so although I’m sad there’s only two seasons I’m thrilled that it remained top tier comedy for the entire run.

The movie gets slammed pretty much whenever it’s spoken about but I didn’t hate it.

[u/bICEmeister]

Better off Ted.

Corporate comedy without laugh tracks that was way ahead of its time and as such only lasted two seasons. Sort of similar vibe to 30 rock or modern family in its presentation and humor. I rewatch it regularly and it still holds up so well.

[u/1stepklosr → u/bICEmeister]

The episode with the motion sensors that don't work on Black people is one of the funniest episodes of television I've ever seen.

[u/Fyre2387 → u/1stepklosr]

And so, if the company keeps hiring white people...

to follow black people to follow white people to follow black people, by-

Thursday, June 27, 2013-

...every person on Earth will be working for us.

And we don't have the parking for that.

[u/A_wandering_rider → u/Fyre2387]

My favorite line. "We need a mouse that can withstand temperature of up to 400 degrees!"

"A computer mouse or a real mouse?"

"Oh, hold on ill check"

[u/Inamanlyfashion → u/1stepklosr]

"It gets dark whenever you leave the room."

"Aw. How can I stay mad at you when you say things like that?"

[u/darkjedi39 → u/bICEmeister]

Viridian Dynamics: Family. Yay.

[u/circadian_light → u/bICEmeister]

This was such an underrated series. Alongside everything else, those ads for the company they worked for, Veridian Dynamics, were gold.

[u/TokiStark → u/circadian_light]

Here at Viridian Dynamics we can make a radish so spicy that people can't eat them. But we don't. Because people can't eat them.

Viridian Dynamics

[u/Mama_cheese → u/circadian_light]

There's a current YouTube ad running now and I swear they were unintentionally inspired by veridean dynamics

[u/Appropriate_Sky_6571 → u/bICEmeister]

This is my favorite show of all time. It’s really too bad there aren’t more seasons

[u/pwtrash → u/bICEmeister]

My white guy sucks.

[u/Ok-Meal-510928 → u/bICEmeister]

Jabberwocky!

[u/toeytoes → u/bICEmeister]

"Does it taste like chicken?? We'll take chicken"

"It tastes like....despair?"

[u/korinth86 → u/bICEmeister]

Soooo good.

Basically a show about the early days of Aperture Science.

[u/AndrasKrigare → u/bICEmeister]

I still quote "deal with it Ted! Yeah, deal with it!"

[u/sroop1]

'The Great'

[u/BertraundAntitoi]

The Terror

[u/Happy-Hearing6671 → u/BertraundAntitoi]

The Terror and The Lost Franklin Expedition story were my hyperfixation as for MONTHS lol. I’ve rewatched it countless times. The accompanying podcast from the director and author is also excellent

[u/QuantumBurritoz]

Resident alien. Alan Tudyk is a national treasure 😀

[u/Tapeworm1979 → u/QuantumBurritoz]

The nice thing about this show is all the cast are just normal people. The type you see every day.

I'm sad it got cancelled. It ended in a reasonable way but I'm hoping Netflix pick it up for a few more episodes to fully finalise it.

[u/low_v2r → u/QuantumBurritoz]

THAT IS SOME BULLSHIT

[u/NeitherPollution4952]

I never really hear anybody talking about Documentary Now! Fred Armisen and Bill Hader make mockumentaries of real Documentaries (Jiro Dreams of Sushi became Juan likes Rice & Chicken) and I think they are hilarious and infinitely quotable

[u/Angreek]

TRAVELERS

[u/The_ChosenOne → u/Angreek]

That one teenage character played an old man more convincingly than an actual old man would have, absolutely brilliant stuff.

[u/dan1101]

Reservation Dogs, it's only on Hulu but it's fantastic "slice of life" show depicting small-town Native American life in a stark but warm way. Great cast, great guest cast including Bill Burr, Lily Gladstone, Ethan Hawke, and Megan Mullally.

[u/Fluffy_Connection644]

Utopia, British tv series. Mind blowing

[u/TheFirstWarbird → u/Fluffy_Connection644]

I’m surprised this is so far down. The series is so poignant, especially after the global pandemic. Might have to rewatch it again!!

[u/Dekonstruktor]

Carnivale

[u/NinjaInTheAttic → u/Dekonstruktor]

Yes! I was looking for this. Such an incredible show. The fact that it got cancelled is maddening.

[u/BrazilianMerkin → u/NinjaInTheAttic]

And ended on a cliffhanger at that. Got canceled in the off season so they never had an opportunity to even try to cobble together a disappointing ending

[u/Brothernod]

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

[u/Brothernod]

Wonderfalls

[u/TommyObviously]

High Maintenance is always a show I recommend that nobody seems to have seen

[u/eleventhing]

3%. Never heard anyone talk about it, but that could be because I live under a rock.

[u/Complete_Wing_8195 → u/eleventhing]

Are you talking about the Brazilian dystopian show? 

[u/HeavenlyZero]

Pantheon. Shit was top-tier

[u/SpecialistArtPubRed → u/HeavenlyZero]

If you like Pantheon, check out Scavengers Reign. It's another amazing Sci-Fi animated show that was cancelled too soon. The depiction of the alien world they're on is literally like nothing I've ever seen. It's so imaginative and interesting.

[u/Cynical_Agnostic]

The Magicians. It might not be a 10 for most but it hits all the right spots for me nonetheless. Five seasons with a fitting end (even though I'd be the first to weep if the story ever continues in some capacity).

The first season can be a little bit rough to get through for some but it's definitely worthwhile. Be prepared for a wide range of emotions, laughter, trauma, world building as well as some of the best character interactions and character portrayals.

🐇🚬

[u/GreenlandSharkSkin]

DEVS? I mean, somebody knows, because someone on reddit recommended it to me.

[u/igoogletosurvive → u/GreenlandSharkSkin]

I agree, I think Nick Offerman being cast in an intellectual role was great - but his fans were expecting humor so it just never took off. But it’s some of the most compelling, smartest tv in years.

[u/Topcake977]

Morel Orel - such an underrated gem.

The Town of Morelton and everyone in it needs to get fucked…

[u/ekimneems]

Slings & Arrows. Canadian show about a Shakespearean theatre troop with a brilliant but mentally unwell director. Also has Rachel McAdams in it. 3 brilliant 6-episode seasons that wraps up really nicely. I'd call it a dark comedy.

[u/Dopdee]

Now that Tim Robinson is popping up in more places maybe this isn’t a “nobody knows” show, but:

The Detroiters

[u/EvanEschmeyer]

You’re the Worst

[u/obeythed]

Sledgehammer!

[u/DaCrazyWolf → u/obeythed]

Trust me I know what I'm doing!

[u/bananafrit]

Station Eleven

[u/Ok-Ball-1106]

Misfits

[u/Luke-Bywalker]

Legion is the best marvel show no one ever heard of

[u/redthump → u/Luke-Bywalker]

That show is a trip. I enjoyed it so much.

[u/pellakins33 → u/Luke-Bywalker]

A perfect example of a show that’s so good but you have no idea how they got anyone to sign off on it because it’s banana pants

[u/kelper_t → u/Luke-Bywalker]

Legion is the Andor of the Marvel franchise. Such a good show. 

[u/A_terrible_musician → u/Luke-Bywalker]

Aubrey Plaza has range

[u/besee2000 → u/Luke-Bywalker]

This was a masterpiece in originality. If you need something that steps away from cliche, this is the series. I loved all the characters and hating them too.

[u/ImpressionFast923]

Archive 81. Netflix gave us one season with almost zero marketing and pulled the plug when it didn’t hit Stranger Things numbers.

[u/4look4rd]

I never hear “It’s the end of the fucking world” or Catastrophe mentioned on best off shows, but the writing is up there with Fleabag, if not better.

[u/Yubda]

Maybe its just my social bubble but I stumbled upon Common Side Effects and I've been spreading the gospel ever since - nobody seemed to know about it. Such an amazing show - animation is 12/10, voice acting is incredible, and the story will get you hooked immediately

[u/belarath32114]

Forever. Crime procedural with Ioan Gruffudd as an immortal medical examiner, unsure why and what caused his immortality. Living with his adoptive son, whom is now older than he is and harassed by another immortal played by Burn Gorman.

[u/sirenariel]

Happy! Only two seasons. Ex cop rough guy gets stuck with his daughter's imaginary friend who's a unicorn. I don't really want to ruin what happens but it's a unique show and I really thought it was amazing

[u/SweetAsPi]

Don’t trust the b in apt 23

[u/TheRateBeerian]

Black Books

[u/ManOTMoon]

Scavenger's Reign - Adult Swim produced. 1 season, and absolutely encapsulating and visually stunning. The most incredible world creation I've ever seen.

[u/Legomoron → u/ManOTMoon]

100% Scavengers Reign. It probably has decent exposure among a subset of Reddit, but most people don’t even know it exists.

Same creators just did Common Side Effects, which IMO everyone should watch. It’s incredible.

[u/PickleRichh]

The End of the F***ing World

[u/maome666]

One of my all-time favorite shows and, I am being completely sincere, one of the best media depictions of mental illness I've ever seen.

Spaced. English comedy from the late 90s made by Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Edgar wright. Only had 2 series but was almost perfect. If you enjoyed Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz etc you'll love Spaced, it's what kicked off their careers.

Norsemen (or Vikingane in Norwegian). It's a Norwegian viking comedy series. All the actors are Norwegian, and when they made the show, they recorded all the scenes twice. Once with the actors talking Norwegian. Then once more talking English with strong Norwegian accents and most of the jokes, puns and sayings being translated very directly. It's hilarious.

So if you want a funny little viking show with an extra pinch of linguistic weirdness, check it out.
