[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'll go with "The Good Place".

To me the show has everything. Comedy, Surprise, deep emotions, and it even is educational. If also is full of positivity, which in today's times seems harder to do right.

Where lesser shows might have drawn out the ideas over multiple seasons, they constantly moved on from one setting to the next.

And they nailed the finale.

The good place is such a feel good show. It's never great laughs, but after each episode you just feel a little warmer inside

Feel good show is an apt description. And it is one that accomplishes it while having plants of educational philosophy at its core rather than being purely entertainment.
