I recently watched Taboo and really enjoyed it.

Taboo is criminally underrated. That said, it's annoying to watch on FX-- having modern ads interrupt a period piece is rather jarring. I was relieved when it showed up on Hulu sans commercials.

I have been watching it since January now, I start a season slow, then I binge watch the ending of every season and then it takes like a month for me to start up the next season and so on.. I'm on S5E12 now and it's great, been staying up all night watching lately lol

Star Trek The Next Generation and Utopia are my absolute favourites. :)

Star Trek TNG because I grew up with it and it always left me with such feelings of optimism and interest in the future and space discovery, like nothing else could. It truly opened my mind up as a child, and has probably had a bigger impact on who I am than any other piece of media. Plus it had Picard! And Data! And I mean, just listen to the opening... I really miss this type of optimistic, bold Sci Fi-- feels like everything is doom and gloom now and it sucks because that's just not as inspiring. At least for me. And inspiring Sci-Fi is the best Sci-Fi.

Utopia (pls click for good trailer for a super underwatched show, from the channel that first brought about Black Mirror) because I've never watched another show like it, it's the best show I've ever seen, and it achieved everything it tried for (which was a whole lot--this show was ambitious). The general aesthetic of the show is extremely unique and the tone it sets horrifyingly powerful; it's amazingly well-directed and acted, and it's also one of the only shows I've ever seen that actually managed to get under my skin. How they do the violence is... I don't know how to explain it. I remember seeing my dad watching a particularly disturbing scene back when I was younger, before knowing the show, and actually getting worried it'd have some nefarious effect on him it was so visceral. It's a crime the show got cancelled, but not at all surprising with how experimental and risky it was, being inherently unappealing to the general audience. It's a surprise the show even got as far as it did with some of the things it touched on and showed... It's haunting. Here's a great analysis video I like for those who've watched it and also love it by the way.

Though if I can be the weeb I am and include anime; Space Dandy, Hunter x Hunter, Mob Psycho, FLCL and Wolf's Rain are all up there in my all time favourites as well. Attack On Titan too with this latest amazing season.

Deadwood has always been the measuring stick I use to judge all other shows. It's an absolute masterpiece. The new film somehow made a perfect series even better.

What did you think of the twist last season of Survivor?

It ruined it for me. The "event" during the merge was fine but they shouldn't have done that during top 5. lol

I haven't watched Survivor since season 33.In my opinion,some twists weren't fair,just to make drama.

The single all-time favourite is definitely Twin Peaks (especially the recent season). Aside from that:

  • Breaking Bad
  • Carnivale
  • Deadwood
  • Mad Men
  • Peaky Blinders
  • True Detective (only season 1)
  • The X-Files (the first 5 seasons)
  • Legion
  • Downton Abbey
  • Life on Mars (UK, of course)
  • Sherlock ( the first 2 seasons)
  • Dexter (I don't even remember when everything went to shit, but I loved the first half or something like that)
  • Game of Thrones (yep)
  • Hannibal
  • Taboo

Did you watch season 3 of True Detective? I thought the second season was extremely weak, but season 3 was arguably even better than the first.

Comment has been collapsed.

I did, and I have to disagree about it being better than the first - although yes, it was pretty enjoyable again. Unlike the second one; I think I didn't abandon watching it only because of Colin Farrell. At least I have to admit that while quality of this show is all over the place, they do consistently cast brilliant actors for a main role each time.

He's got a pretty small role there (a head of a Jewish gang), but a totally awesome one.

Carnivale being canceled was one of the worst thing that happened to tv! I think it was ahead of its time. It was just so weird and so intricate, it turned off a lot of the first wave of viewers who thought it was going to be a soap about circus performers, and the people who would have loved the show only heard about it halfway through season 1 couldn't catch up. It would have been a hit on Netflix now.
And then there was a whole year gap in between seasons, that was the nail in the coffin.

The X-Files (the first 5 seasons)

Yep. Season 6 had some good episodes, as did season 7 but they just didn't hold together anymore. And I'm not even going to get into season 8 or 9... and the abomination that's been running on Fox in the past years...

Hannibal 😍 I wish Amazon or someone else would pick it up and finish it (as it was rumoured at one point). Such a shame what happened.

Many of my favorites already mentioned above. I really like good detective/crime/noir, such as True Detective, The Wire, Mindhunter, Bosch etc, but the one that really impressed me lately was The Sinner - totally unexpected from a meh network like USA.

Thank you :)

I haven't read the books myself but I tried to googled it awhile ago and it seemed very different. Some characters didn't have those things happen to them as they weren't even alive at the same time in the books, I'm talking hundreds of years apart. Some characters were also made up and important characters that should of been in the events in the show weren't in the show.

Breaking Bad, Bojack Horseman, and Black Mirror are my 3 favorite shows, nothing else really comes close other than Game of Thrones, but season 8 took that show down quite a few rankings.
Edit: I forgot Always Sunny, whoops.
