Oh I forgot Malcom in the Middle. +1 to that.

For a recent anime, Delicious in Dungeon is excellent!

Ghost In The Shell, Haibane Renmei, and Gurren Lagann share the #1 spot for animated

Psych takes 1st place for live action

Bob's Burgers hands down. It's just constantly showcases the wholesomeness I want to see in the world.

It shows a constantly imperfect world, and family, friends, and community standing together to survive it.

I could write a thesis, but I'm crying thinking about that Christmas episode now, you know the one.

This is hard.

  • Avatar: The Last Airbender + The Legend of Korra together. Don’t even get me started (actually please do).

  • Pantheon. Dense, proper sci fi, criminally and tragically suppressed IRL. Watch it, right now.

  • I am really loving Severance so far.

  • Arcane is up there, maybe as most artistic.

  • Star Wars: Andor. Not a huge Star Wars fan, but it’s so good, and grounded. It has everything.

I have a lot of "secondary" favorites I am excluding here, like The Expanse, Person of Interest, Fringe, The Americans, Narcos, Mythbusters, and such for various reasons, but are still amazing.

[–] Toes@ani.social 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

+1 for Avatar. Such a phenomenal cast of characters and world building. Korra got really weird but I still appreciate it.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

I love LoK, honestly more than ATLA, for many reasons. Along those lines, I was more into ATLA for Zuko than the Gaang.

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 hours ago

The Good Place. Perfect show, 10/10

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

How I met your mother. It never fails to entertain me.

[–] showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I always want to rewatch HIMYM because I do remember enjoying it but I get one or two episodes in and I loose the taste for it because of how bad it ended. Really only one of a few shows truely ruined by the ending.

[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Along with Game of Thrones, of course

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Fringe. Love that shit, watched the whole thing 10x.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Fringe is so underrated.

…Have you seen Severance? It feels more condensed, and I am loving it so far.

[–] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago

Easily Star Trek: The Next Generation. It's mystery, sci-fi, action, drama, and period pieces (holo deck episodes). It has a bit of everything. Plus it's a hopeful vision of the future.

[–] xenomor@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Mr Robot Mad Men

and if anime counts:

Steins;Gate

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 hours ago

The Good Place is unbelievable. I never get bored rewatching it.

[–] kabi@lemm.ee 9 points 12 hours ago

Well, I did just start rewatching Community for the n-th time...

Arrested Development seasons 1-3 will always be special to me.

I've seen Archer far too many times. Funniest animated I've ever seen and I kinda want to watch it again. Gotta stop when the writers change at s10 tho.

Patriot is an amazing TV show that I've seen three times. It's a thriller, I guess. Quite funny but they play it straught. Reminds me of Fargo.

Edit because how on earth did I not mention True Detective season 1.

These three shows I will definitely watch again when I get time. Amazing attention to detail in each of them.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Stargate (sg1 and Atlantis)

[–] illi@lemm.ee 1 points 7 hours ago

There are many great shows that could take the nr 1 spot but SG-1 just has a special place in my heart. At least up to 8th season.
