better than Breaking Bad

Loved breaking bad but I've always said the same.

Breaking Bad!

The Leftovers

Amazing.

I hate how its now a thing that shows can get criticized as "to slow" just because people fucked up their attention span. I was not bored for a single second of that show. Meanwhile Marvel movies might have shit happening every second but god have I been bored during those stake less, CGI fight scenes..

Hast to scroll way too much to find this. Breaking Bad might be peak TV.

The first several seasons of American Horror Story are so much fun. Murder House (S1), Asylum (S2), Freak Show (S4 and my personal favorite) and Roanoke (S6) are particularly entertaining. Cathy Bates and Jessica Lang are so great in all their roles. All the actors are a lot of fun to watch even when intentionally cheesy.

I guess one that I expected to see her is Sons of Anarchy. I thought it was great. I'm a little disappointed, but not surprised, that I don't see either Letterkenny or Shoresy on here right now.

Didn't see anyone mentioned it but Gravity Falls and the original Avatar The Last Airbender is really, really good.

Also Fallout TV series is nice too, not worth the subscription but worth your time, if you catch my drift.

Utopia.. Not to be confused with Utopia 😅

4400 is that scifi show, although its an old show form the late 2000s. dystopian future that have time travel sublpot, mixed with "superpowers" given to normal humans plucked out of random points in time. i think the show has too much going on for it to continue, 3 large concepts : time travel, superpowers, preventing future events.

Here's a short selection of series that really stood out for me over the past few years.

All are there for different reasons, but they were all quite amazing IMHO. (also, I've included spoiler-free summaries 😉)

Devs)
A software engineer investigates the secretive quantum computing division of her cutting-edge tech company after her boyfriend goes missing.
This felt like some of the best early Black Mirror episodes, stretched out over the length of a well-paced short TV series. In a way, it's also similar to Severance, in the best of ways.

Our Flag Means Death
An 18th-century aristocrat abandons his life of luxury to become a pirate.
Funny, touching, extremely intelligent... if you like the work of Taika Waititi and his friends (What we do in the Shadows), this is a must-watch.

Scavengers Reign
When a deep-space freighter crashes on a beautiful but profoundly perilous alien planet, the scattered surviving crew must navigate a surreal, violently interconnected ecosystem in a desperate bid for rescue.
The best Sci-Fi series I've ever seen. This may be the first tv series I've seen that actually translates the vibe of some of the best Sci-Fi/space-opera writing I've read.

Killing Eve
A bored MI5 security officer and a glamorous, unpredictable assassin become locked in a deadly, globe-trotting game of cat-and-mouse.
Amazing actresses playing terrible people. It is so we'll made I think everyone needs to watch this one.

Utopia (UK))
A group of online forum members unearths a bizarre graphic novel rumored to predict global disasters, suddenly finding themselves hunted by a ruthless, shadowy organization.
This show is SO unique. The way it looks, the vibe, the story... everything hits SO hard! Just the intro sequence had me HOOKED! (Note: it was never finished; but it does have a pretty good ending regardless).

sg1, sga, maybe not SGU(sadly amazon cancelled the new series before it was fully conceptualized). more obscure shows like 4400, resident Alien(cancelled after season 4). castlevania the 1st series(2nd one is sucky).

for animes, evangelion(the old and rebuild versions), inuyasha the og series and final act(Yashime is fanfiction and very strange because it has a very groom-ing feature to it sesshomaru ends up marrying rin(whome he raised since childhood). blue gender, full metal alchemist, not BROTHEROOD.

sandman, good omens(sadly these are very short series) because of neil gaiman and netflix being super stingy. same goes with blood of zeus, so much more content than what is shown in 3 seasons, they had to rush the final season.

A lot of solid suggestions. I'll add a few nobody mentioned yet:

Clarkson's Farm

Silo

Red Dwarf

they were bad for star trek, turned into opposite of old trek, and had alot of bad writing/acting comes with it. the animated trek however was enjoyable.
