I’ve been rewatching my favorites (Mr. Robot, Andor, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) and I’m curious: What is your favorite show of all time? What makes that your favorite?

    Gonna go with something differrent here

    Adventure Times

    Quite long running series that starts super silly but actually does explain all the weirdness that you see from the beginning over its runtime. You think its just a cute strange setting with candy people, some magic and a planet half destroyed that looks a bit like Earth. But there’s a whole story behind it and it slowly unfolds more and more over the seasons.

    It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

    It’s gross, it’s wrong, it’s mean, it’s hilarious.

        1000%

        The cracks form quickly in 13, but Time’s Up for the Gang, The gang solves the bathroom problem, and the gang gets new wheels are great.

        14 has Paddy’s has a jumper, the gang solves global warming, a woman’s right to chop are good episodes. The others range from meh to always skip.

        15 was a total wash.

        And from there, I don’t care.

    all 3 stargate series. oldtrek mostly, nutrek is just not even close, other than prodigy and lower decks, snw i find its still not good considering what other people are saying. use a different showrunner.

    maybe spn although its through comprehensive videos of the seasons which fans graciously posted on youtube, mostly s1-5. inuyasha, not yashime or whatever it is, because fans made it weird, by making it a grooming situation rin+ sesshomaru. blue gender, Fullmetal alchemist, the og series. the new one is somewhat all over place. pre-disney takeover of marvel shows. gifted, runaways, AOS.

    grimm might be up someones alley, it has a spn spin to it, and it ended as it should, and not dragged on forever like with supernatural.

    a short series, DAMAGES, with glenn close, if you ignore the network changes that included sex scences for some reason.

    medical drama: House, ER just not the last few seasons, which one of the actors became the showrunner of pitt. not any of those new ones with nobody actors i keep seeing on youtube.

    bio shows, like monsters inside me.

    netflix original: CASTLEVANIa, the first series one. the 2nd one is currently in limbo, as netflix sees which shows to cancel.

    sandman and blood of zeus if they hadnt rushed to cancelled these series.

    Twin Peaks. It’s one of the most original shows I’ve seen, and I think it manages to strike a perfect balance between mystery, drama, comedy, and general quirkiness. The third season in particular is a goddamn masterpiece imo. Also Dale Cooper has to be one of my all time favorite characters. It’s definitely not everyone’s cup of coffee though

    I was gonna say Firefly. “Objects in Space” is amazing.

    But it’s Ted Lasso, since at least once in every episode it gives me some happy or sad feels and I think we all need to feel the feels.

    Quantum Leap is the gold standard for me.

    Runners up: Night Court, Better Call Saul, Bojack Horseman, and The Twilight Zone. Those are all shows I have rewatched multiple times.

    There will probably be a lot of recommendations for Breaking Bad, The Wire, The Sopranos, etc., and they’re all great.

    One that tends to fly under the radar is The Americans, about a family of Soviet spies under deep cover in suburban DC. A top FBI counter-espionage agent moves in across the street, and they become close friends.

    Great writing, acting, everything. One of the very best finales I’ve ever seen.

    Like others my favorites change a lot, but having just rewatched Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood… Dude what an awesome show. Always cry at least 5 times watching it. For sure deserving of a fixed spot on any top 10s.

    And one I haven’t seen anyone mention: Andor. The best Star Wars anything ever.
