And Common Side Effects!

[–] coriza@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

It is so good, I wish people would freak out more about. Weirdly enough I wish they do not make sequels, as not to tarnish this beautiful, perfect series.

Pantheon! While I think they had to rush it, it has a solid ending

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I just finished Counterpart, very good. The premise lets several actors play two different, but related roles. J. K. Simmons knocks it out of the park, showing his range.

Shrinking, not something I'd usually watch, but Harrison Ford is in it, so I gave it a shot. Pleasantly surprised.

I'm currently watching Party Down, which I found after watching Severance, Adam Scott is in it. It's a 20-year-old comedy about catering.

I'm two episodes into Black Doves. It's good enough to keep me watching, I think, but nothing special--full of slightly tired spy tropes--unless you like Keira Knightley, which I do.

Quantum Leap.

I liked both the original and the remake a few years ago. Would have liked to see more of the remake. :(

Modern choice, only one season so far with another coming of unknown quality, but I liked Murderbot, personally. Sci Fi, dark comedy, with a dash of wholesome. I liked it!

Final Space. Tragic it was cut short.

[–] rustyricotta@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 hours ago

Awake (2012)

I never see anyone mention this ever. A neat little detective mini-series where you can't tell dream from reality.

I'm also gonna add another vote Fringe.

[–] Takeshidude@lemmy.world 17 points 12 hours ago

Firefly

Found-family space western with excellent music and characters

Yes, it has Joss Whedon's name on it, but either because it was made much earlier in his career or because Tim Minear was showrunner, it doesn't have the modern bathos issue commonly associated with him these days

[–] Aatube@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Andor (though first episode can be skipped IMO)
Severance (do not trust the ending of S2E3)
Black Mirror
Better Call Saul
Chernobyl
Inside No. 9
