[There Can Be Only One] What's your single favourite TV show? (lemmy.world)

It's tough picking one.

But that's why I'm asking. It's easy to do a top 3, even easier to a top 5.

But when you have to choose a singular show? When you're forced to pare it down? What sticks above the others for you?

Babylon 5 for me.

It's got plenty of issues but it's still my darling and despite all the behind-the-scenes BS it's still the best long-form sci-fi story I've seen onscreen.

Edit: Screwed up the title. Bad Dalacos.

I fell in absolute love with Scavenger's Reign.

My husband, every time we are looking for something to watch on TV, says "why can't we find something like that one show? It was so good!". Scavenger's Reign? "YES, that one."

For me, I think I agree with Star Trek TNG as the one if there must be one, , but damn, Scavengers Reign and also Preacher were perfect shows.

I watched the first few minutes of it and realized it was something I'd probably love but not in that moment. It looked like something I needed to be in the right headspace to really appreciate. I do that plenty, knowing sometimes I want popcorny action and other times I want, well, a mood.

It was on my watchlist so long it damn well got cancelled, but it's still sitting there waiting for me to enjoy. One of these days. That and a rewatch of Mars Express should make for a good weekend binge.
