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.

    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!

    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.

      i was a afraid of watching this show because it felt like it netflix would cancel it before it got an ending; was i right?

        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 watch it.

    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.

      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

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

      I really enjoyed Halt and Catch Fire, and I see so few people talk about it. The only issue I had with it was that each season felt like it was almost a reset point rather than a straight continuation of the plot. I wish they would have left a few more open plot points at the end of each season that flowed into the next. I felt the same way with Silicon Valley, even though I enjoyed that one as well.

        I actually liked that as it didn’t leave huge cliffhangers at the end of each season. Also i think they were going with the whole ‘leap’ technology took between each season. Like it happens really fast and can miss a lot if you’re not paying attention.

      I enjoyed the beginning of Raised by wolves, but once it started to get “creative” (the levitating offspring…) I lost interest. Which is a shame because this was a high quality series.

    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

        Intensity is a good word to describe that element. I feel the show is willing to bump off characters, but 2 of the leads have survived too many close calls and it lowers the stakes a good bit.

        The individual that showed up with the surprise faction really threw a wrench into things that I enjoyed though!

    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.
