Severance

The Good Place.

Be warned, that you should watch this one without much research. If you like the first episode, you'll love the show.

One of the very few shows where each and every season is consistently great. Super funny and had a satisfying ending, instead of the usual clifferhanger-because-of-cancellation ending

Some shows I really enjoyed in recent years:

• Arcane (amazing animation, world, and story - you don't need to know anything about the game to enjoy it)
• Peaky Blinders (it's finished and so good throughout)
• Travelers (also finished, extremely underrated)
• The Expanse (6 seasons of some of the best sci-fi ever)
• Stranger Things (ongoing but highly recommend)
• Beef (limited series so finished, so good)
• The Bear (very good, raw characters and emotions)
• Ted Lasso (no need to care for football, just extremely lovable characters and heartwarming story)
• Breaking Bad (if you haven't watched this, it's a must - best TV imo)
• The Last of Us (no need to know the game)
• Andor (best star wars since the original trilogy, mature, dark, and suspenseful)

They're in no particular order, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot, but I definitely think all of the above are must watch.

Breaking Bad + Better Call Saul

Severance has a really cool premise and season 2 is being made.

I can't believe no one recommended Fleabag. It's not the type of show that would attract me usually, but goddamn was that a masterpiece. Two seasons, short and sweet.

Another short series that is incredible is Chernobyl.

Scavengers Reign. If you like The Expanse, you might be into sci-fi animated with a seriously weird style. And it's one season with the story tied up in a bow at the end.

Don't think I've seen Foundation or Silo mentioned yet.

Maybe sense8? Much like the expanse it takes a while to get going

3 body problem

The Wire

The Last Kingdom. Better than Vikings.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Here's an ordered list of shows that came to mind, starting with what I think best fits with what you mentioned and getting further away from there, though I think they're all worth it.

Mr robot

Fringe

The boys

Yellow jackets

Stranger things

The good place

Letterkenny! Canadian humour at its absolute finest.

Also What We Do In The Shadows, and Reservation Dogs.

Turn from AMC is really excellent if you're into revolutionary war spy rings! Excellent writing and acting.

I would also second Andor, fantastic show. Peaky Blinders is another good one, though try not to binge it, I think it'd be much better if watched less avidly.

Based on your previous shows: fallout, shogun and the boys are current.

Fallout - incredible S1 for the video game ip. Hilarious, visually stunning, flavorful

Shogun - game of thrones in japan

The boys - civilians take their city back from super powered heros

Ted lasso [ended] - amazing show about people, likely one of the best of this decade. A meme American football coach from the Midwest moved to the UK to teach a top tier UK futbol league.

Silicon valley [ended] - a tech startup in silicon valley on HBO constantly overcoming challenges with their revolutionary IP.

Avatar the last Airbender [ended] - best of the 2000s, unique flavorful. There is no live action in ba sing se, cartoon only

Disenchantment [ended] - Futurama but medieval magic

One piece live action - another great first showing for anime cross over, skips a lot of the filler and is executed well

+1 for the good place, arcane and last of us

Also Ozark

Andor

"From" And "Evil"

If you like Vikings, try Black Sails. A very, very underrated pirate story, unofficial prequel to the story of Treasure Island that you might have read as a kid.

I watch it once a year. It's that good. It recently appeared on Netflix in the USA and it's finally starting to get the attention it deserves.

I think I understand your taste and you will love Black Sails. This is also imo the single most underrated TV show ever.

I swear all the shows you mention lead me to black sails. I had a phase where I binged like 6 of the shows you mentioned plus black sails since they fit in so well together. I can't say much more than, seriously, trust me on this one.

Person of Interest.

• Fawlty Towers
• Yes Minister / Yes Prime Minister
• Good Omens
• Black Books
• The Expanse
• For All Mankind (feels like a precursor to the expanse)
• The Boys
• Firefly
• Stargate / SG Atlantis
• Castle
• The Orville

but open to other rabbit holes

If you like satirical comedy or entertaining educational shows, there's a lot on Australian television (particularly shows from the national Australian Broadcasting Corporation). Also, for people who enjoyed The Office (at least, the UK version, I haven't seen the US variant), I recommend Utopia - it's far from a clone but has a lot of similar themes of workplace life mixed with poking fun at bureaucracy and government.

but I don't live in australia, or have a VPN to access ABC iView!

Visit the sidebar resources of [email protected], or even just YouTube will get you a lot of them.

Band of Brothers

Mr Inbetween

An Australian hitman navigates his underworld life and parenthood. Better than it sounds. (Includes some heavy violence)

Westworld Season 1. Sooo good, just do it.

Babylon Berlin

• Stranger Things
• The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
• Upload

Another vote for Scavenger's Reign, it was amazing.

I have enjoyed the Wheel of Time episodes on amazon.

Blue Eyed Samurai was beautiful.

The IT Crowd is hilarious.

The Wire

The Sopranos

Deadwood

Justified

Bosch

If you’re open to comedic stuff:

What We Do In The Shadows

Resident Alien

Miracle Workers

You're asking on Lemmy? Star Trek.

Which one? Yes.

Hannibal is a great show. Mads Mikkelsen is the best Hannibal, hands down.

Breaking Bad
