Mr Show with Bob and David
nobody has probably heard of it but capitol critters was awesome :(
Damn this thread about to make my “Watch Later” list twice as long
The Goncharov TV mini-series was 5 episodes of pure perfection. Best thing NBC ever did.
The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret
11/10 show…Farscape is a classic
Technically a remake of the 2013 UK show of the same name, but I had never seen or heard of it - so I went into the US version blind and I absolutely loved it.
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (2016)
Similar to the above, a UK TV show preceded this one; both based on a Douglas Adam’s (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) novel series.
I liked the premise for The Lone Gunmen as a spinoff from the X-Files but I don’t think they got the supporting cast quite right.
I don’t know how forgotten it is since I only learned of it a few years back, but Sliders. People say around the quality starts dropping in the 3rd season before the 4th season being pretty bad, but I enjoyed all 5 seasons with few exceptions.
Edit:
Probably plenty of episodes missing ( original English dub ) but I just remembered Class of 3000 and think that takes more precedent than Sliders because you can find all the episodes of Sliders through piracy. Same cannot be said about Class of 3000.
Class of 3000 has things Sliders would never have: amazing songs made specifically for the show. Songs like the jazz song My Mentor or the rap ( rock? ) song We Want Your Soul or the blues song Rich Shade Of Blues.
I absolutely adored sliders when it was on tv. Glad that you enjoyed it after learning about it somewhat recently.
The nineties reboot of outer limits was also something I very much enjoyed. I bet some episodes hold up. Not a show like sliders but had some decent 90s scifi in it if I remember right.
Obscure because it comes from my country but
Kim’s convenience is an amazing show. Like fucking incredible! Netflix had a the diffusion right for a time but I don’t know if they have it anymore, exactly like the next suggestion (this one is in French)
Série Noire where two writers tried to write a crime story and get embroiled with the … gay mafia. Personally I prefer Les invincibles
Not obsucure (still consider one of the pioneers in New Waves documentaries) but I cannot help myself, Pierre Perrault’s Shimmering Beast and Pour la Suite du Monde (for the next world, the link have English subtitles) where he investigates what it is to be Québécois, to be human in the modernity
Space: Above & Beyond and Earth 2.
The former is a gritty wartime drama against an unknown alien species, and follows a Marine squadron.
Come for the cool spaceships, stay for the great storytelling.
The latter is about the colonization of another planet that we thought was uninhabited and also never visited by humans.
Come for the wagon train, stay for Tim Curry saying “poppet”
Both only lasted a season.
Mr Robot. It did well but I don’t know anyone that’s seen it.
I always think of google as Evil Corp because of that show.
I’ve seen the first and the first half of the second, the second kill it for me however
Seasons 3 and 4 are amazing, and the last episode has an amazing twist.
I’d just skip past season 2 if you don’t like it.
I’ll do my best to watch them all. Just convince a friend to watch it with me. Ha!
Lexx is one of the best science fiction shows. Season 2 is peak.
I’ll have to try it… but after 3 episodes I don’t know anymore 😅
The Count of Monte Cristo (2004).
The angry beavers / die Biber Brüder
If we’re talking the Nickelodeon cartoon, then all I gotta say is I absolutely LOVE that show. Partial staple of my childhood, watching reruns whenever they were on. Definitely a high recommendation from me.
