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.

          i read in an article a while back they looked tired and wanted to give up by end of s14. obviously, if you know the actors, kaitlyn, charlie, rob, glenn they dont have much going on for them as far as hollywood goes. they are kinda stuck with the show they cant create. also thier bizarre behaviour, as in plastic surgery and robs name change and his questionable colloborations.

          even the isaip sub, the people were kinda shocked at robs trying to stay in hollywood elite circle.

      I was thinking that I didn’t have one, but Avatar is one of the one’s I rewatched the most, so it has to be up there. It’s probably between that and The Office.

        Does a version that doesn’t look like crap exist? Seems like it’s very low res everywhere I can find it, even through the seven seas.

          Honestly the one I’m streaming now looks like crap too. I had torrented a really high quality one a couple years ago, so probably on TPB?

    • Succession
    • Damages (legal drama)
    • True Detective (wish I could go back and experience watching this for the first time again so bad)
    • Mad Men
    • Widow’s Bay (apple TV and absolutely hysterical horror)

    Comedies:

    • Arrested Development

    • Veep

    • Silicon Valley

    • Schitt’s Creek

      Regularly on in the background:

    Cowboy Bebop (the animated ver) - Just absolute cinema the whole time. Never watched the live action, probably never will. Soundtrack goes so hard and the voice acting in both English and Japanese are unparalleled imo. Such an imaginative and realistic depiction of the future, especially for the time. Thanks a million to Adult Swim for introducing me to my fav show of all time.

      I really liked the live action Cowboy Bebop. But then, I never watch the anime. Then again, I don’t mind remakes and format changes, so long as it is still well made.

    The Expanse, Fringe, Malcolm in the Middle, Archer, GITS SAC, off the top of my head.

    Babylon 5 — just the perfect scifi show for me with a five-season story arc that was planned from the beginning.

    Others: Farscape, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark, The West Wing, Community, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

    Mr. Robot. I’m super into the sometimes cheesy “fuck society” mentality. And everything that happens in that show either could or has already happened in reality.

    • The Simpsons 2-9
    • It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
    • Curb Your Enthusiasm

    All because of their fantastic comedy writing: nuanced, layered jokes, with satisfying stories, characters and plots which leads to endless rewatchability.

    • Community
    • Atlanta

    For being weird experimental extremely well written comedies. Rick and Morty’s early seasons might make it on this list but I haven’t gone back in a while.

    • Breaking Bad
    • The Expanse

    For being long serious satisfying dramas with great characters and writing.

    • Dark

    Get a special shout-out for being one of the only mystery box shows I’ve ever seen that sticks the landing.

    • Arrested Development 1-3
    • Parks and Rec
    • 30 Rock
    • The Office

    All get shout outs for being great comedies, if not quite at the tier of the above.

      Since all of these are also my favourites, you may want to try Fleabag for a comedy, and the Wire, Fargo, True Detective and Severance for drama. Fargo might be my favourite series in general, Fargo and the Simpsons, if I could pick two.

        I agree with almost all those choices but I never finished any of those series so didn’t put them on.

        Severance is the only one on there I disagree with. They may stick the landing, but imho I highly suspect they’ve fully jumped the shark and are in the “oh fuck, we didn’t actually plan for it to go on this long” part of a mystery box. I suspect it will just waste time for like another 2-3 seasons then suddenly end while not answering half the questions from the early seasons … like virtually all of mystery boxes that aren’t Dark do.

        Do you even read comments from people who post?

        This guy is talking about MC dicks… Various fast foods. If you don’t realize this guy is either in marketing or is just a bot that markets… That’s on you.

      Atlanta is so good. There’s a Canadian show called Late Bloomer that for some reason gives me similar vibes. It’s not really similar other than it being a darkish comedy about a troubled artist, but just something about the writing hits the same way.

      Look at this side show mel… the first season of The Simpsons was absolutely the best season of The Simpsons.

      (Bob was replaced my mel. Bob is cool. Mel is just a tool.)
