What TV shows are absolutely worth watching?

Altered Carbon season 1. The worldbuilding and story is very good. Premise: People have managed to create chips on which you can put someone's consciousness. In this world, everyone has one. Once a body dies, your life is not necessarily over, but the standards differ vastly for the poor and the rich. One such rich man has had an attempt on his life: someone shot him in his chip, and then tried to hack his backup to truly kill him, but failed. He awakens an old rebel to solve who murdered him (this is all episode 1 exposition, so not really a spoiler).

It's one of those sci-fi series where, if you accept that one specific thing is possible, everything fits perfectly. Good story, great worldbuilding, good cast, and good music. Highly recommended!

I'm not sure if there's any more of it being made now, but I remember season 2 being just a run of the mill boring-ass action series. Turned it off halfway episode 3. But season 1 is very good, and absolutelt worthy of the praise that it got!

I completely agree with you. Kurtzman especially. I can't stomach any of the overwrought tripe any of those 3 churn out.

Just finished rewatching Firefly again about thirty minutes ago

It's still top-notch

In this list, I’ve only heard of Devs and Our Flag Means Death, but those two alone are so goddamn good that you have my complete trust on the rest! Definitely going to check them out.

Stargate, the last chance to use the original showrunners just burned, Oh well.

Anime, I'm a boring Cowboy Bebop person. Have I really been listening to the OST for 20 years?

Gaiman: Pretty obviously a POS , hard to reconcile, he made some art.

Pratchett: I actually miss him, of all the worlds, in many of the places, I remember your loss the keenest.

Turtles all the way down.

Westwing poisoned a generation of liberals brains, many of whom ended up Obama staffers thinking that politics actually works that way.

I still shutter having someone explain that Obama giving Republicans half the discretionionary budget instead of doing what the people who voted for him wanted was some kind of political masterstroke; either republicans would get on board and they'd work together to do what's best for the american people, or voters would see how nice and civil the dems were and vote for them.
