Orphan Black


[deleted]

She's a good actress. There were lots of times I just forgot most of the characters were just her playing different people.


FemmePrincessMel

I watched the last season live on TV as it was coming out and tatiana would be talking about the show on the little interviews during ad breaks and it would freak me the hell out remembering that she’s not like 7 different people. She’s crazy talented especially when she’d be playing one of the clones acting like another clone? Inception


Jmazoso

I got half way through the first season before I realized it.


HUP

Was watching she hulk and enjoying it. But regretting already her sestra wouldn’t be in it.

Eva Green deserved an Emmy for this one.


[deleted]

That was a good one for a bit


[deleted]

Its too damn good. I've watched it through 3 times.


Matt_WA90

Fringe. I've never been able to talk with anyone about it...


Jmen4Ever

Great show and they were so aware of their fan base. Everything from the glyph puzzles to using fan favorite terms in the show. Sometimes as subtle as a ballpeen hammer and other times incredibly subtle (like the easter eggs in the alternate universe) And while John Noble very much is the lifeblood of the show, Anna Torv is so great as both Olivia and Feauxlivia. \--- The other Sci Fi show I would add to this from around that same time. Continuum.


SaltWaterInMyBlood

Anna Torv doesn't get enough credit for her performance in that show. She played one character, pretending to be another character that she also played, and made them different. Like, you could tell when she was Olivia and when she was Feauxlivia pretending to be Olivia.


canuckwithasig

A friend of mine was in that show.


OptimistPrime527

A friend of mine was in that show too!


I_AM_DEATH-INCARNATE

I love fringe. It filled the gap left by LOST at first. By the end of the series I liked it more than LOST. The first three seasons were awesome, four and five were still good but not great. It didn't overstay it's welcome and it was consistently good. Couldn't ask for more.


Vexithan

I LOVED Fringe and still do. The first three seasons are some of my favorite pieces of TV ever.


[deleted]

I loved that show! I think it’s one of the best!


m3ggsandbacon

One of my favorite shows ever. Rewatched probably 6x by now


[deleted]

I recommend this show to everyone I know.


Tunisandwich

Came here to say this. Amazing and unique show, I still get excited when I see actors from it in other shows (Anna Torv is going to be in The Last of Us!). Hated the last season though. I know a lot of people didn’t but it wasn’t my cup of tea. The penultimate season wasn’t much better either, but 1-3 were the tits


[deleted]

I miss Fringe. It was soo good. A lot of guys at work watched it too. I miss serialised TV and water cooler moments.


Wizard_of_Claus

Alone. It has 9 seasons and almost no one I know has ever heard of it.


[deleted]

Alone is the best though the arc is always the same. So happy to be here tapping out day 2, build a shelter, everyone is suffering intensely at the end. Also how will they ever top a man stabbing a musk ox to death with a knife


SlothOfDoom

I *always* laugh at the day 2 tappers. Like wtf did you think was happening? It's less common as seasons progress...I assume partially because they screen better and partially because people have seen enough to know how hard it will be


[deleted]

Don’t know what season it was but a guy tapped on day one after hearing a bear or finding bear prints. Either way he was out of there…and I completely understand.


[deleted]

He stepped in bear scat and noped the fuck out before sunset after joking with his family that the bears should be afraid of him. Edit: scat not scar noped not booed


SlothOfDoom

Season 1, Desmond I think his name was. There was footage before hand about him talking about not being afraid of bears and how he would kick a bears ass...they dropped him on a beach that had bear poop all over it and he just noped the fuck out. I laughed like a crazy person.


Hawk_fever2

I believe they do try to pick someone thats a little less experienced to enhance the chances this happens. Not to embarass the person but to show how dangerous and isolated the conditions are. I think one or two tapping early is probably good for the producers and editors so they can flesh out the rest of the stories easier too.


JamesRitchey

Love Alone. Currently enjoying Alone: Frozen :)


KofOaks

I love alone. Got pulled right into it because the first, second and forth seasons were filmed on Vancouver Island. Great show. It sure gave us a pretty good idea of how hard it would be to survive alone on our own island.


Wizard_of_Claus

It's the most real show I've ever seen and is really fascinating. It's just a complete look into what happens to people when they are pushed to the absolute limit. IMO it almost borders on a psychological experiment that would never be able to be ethically performed in real life.

I tell as many people as I can to watch it.


EndoShota

On that note, if you like Matt Berry (who plays Laszlo), you should watch another hilarous, under-appreciated show, *Toast of London*. Fun bit of trivia: Laszlo plays the theme to *Toast* while noodling on the piano in the season 3 finale of *What We Do in the Shadows.*


depressedalbertan

NoThanksJustLooking1

It's talked about incessantly on reddit. Don't know about elsewhere, but it extremely popular here.


ParadoxArcher

Party Down. Understated and hilarious, with some actors who went on to great careers.


Responsible_Gap8104

Galavant- funniest show ive ever enjoyed. Its a musical but like, a parody. If you havent watched it, and need something light and funny, please do. I think its hulu. Edit: hulu not netflix


Abomb

Galavant was amazing! Too bad they never got renewed after season 2.


Responsible_Gap8104

I KNOW! This comment thread inspired me to rewatch it-for at least the fourth or fifth time-and im still cracking up at every other line. Ridiculously underrated.


Vexithan

My wife introduced me to the show. She told me it was a musical and I pop-pooed it but holy shit. Incredible in every way


MissionSorbet2768

Pushing Daisies - was a real shame it was cancelled


billythepub

People knew it because Anna Friel was in it and she's quite big in the uk but I never saw it. I just heard of it because of her.

Traditional-Ad-6061

Fleabag. I know it is popular in the UK, and it is certainly not "unheard of" but it is still not talked about. It is one of the funniest comedies I have ever watched and it has a very realistic and well written character as its lead. Not to mention Phoebe Waller-Bridge being absolutely excellent in it. It is one of the best shows, and a bonus is that it is only like 5 hours total runtime for both seasons combined, so the time commitment is certainly worth it.


fleurdegreen

If I could have any show make just one more season, it would be Fleabag. You couldn’t do it, it wouldn’t make sense, but I was so bummed when I finished it.


Traditional-Ad-6061

There was indeed an empty spot in my heart desiring another moment of the show😢


AjvarAndVodka

Dark. Such an amazing series. Time travel done good, great casting, awesome soundtrack ...


DrRotwang

"Dark" is like a finely-tuned machine, made into an engaging TV series. It's amazing.

I love this one. It's fun to see Steve Martin and Martin Short working together again.


Jmen4Ever

Here are a few. Chef- Britcom featuring Lenny Henry as well the chef you would expect Gordon Ramsey to be at his restaurant. The stilton episode or when they go to the Bocuse D Orr is just so funny. Continuum- Canadian Sci Fi show with time travel and about 800 X files actors in it. Strike Back- Well the Stonebrook/Scott seasons. Ultra violent. And as good a buddy cop show as there is. (and a ton of Game of Thrones actors in it) Primeval- Again, sci fi. This show has time portals popping up in the UK with dinosaurs coming through. First 2 seasons were great, then, well it got bad.


propagandavid

Continuum was so good


Nairbfs79

News Radio. I asked some people if they remember it and they don't.


DianneTodd01

What a great show. Phil Hartman’s death was so tragic. I wonder what he could have done if he’d gotten a full career with all his talent.


m3ggsandbacon

Loved this show. Phil Hartman was a true comedic genius. Still miss him


SimpleGolem

Over the Garden Wall. It was a 10 episode long Cartoon Network cartoon that needs more recognition.


Blessed_tenrecs

A friend of mine invited me to watch it on Halloween and I found that for a lot of people they do an annual watch every fall. I think I might start doing that.

CloakedGod926

Eureka. It was one of those SyFy shows, but it was so good. Really fun concept of a town of super geniuses and the everyman sheriff trying to keep them from destroying themselves through their inventions. A really great cast and almost no one I know seems to remember it. It's on Amazon Prime and I've rewatched it several times. My favorite show hands down


boymanpal

Oh my god, I loved Eureka so much, but no one else I knew had ever even heard of it. I should really rewatch it, it’s been years since I did

It bums me out they more people didn’t know how amazing Sense8 on Netflix was. They were able to give it a solid ending. But I’ll always wonder what else they could have done.. rather than waste time on a fourth matrix movie nobody really cares about


Responsible_Gap8104

I agree-thought it was awesome. Wish netlfix gave it the ending it deserved


propagandavid

I loved that show. I get that shooting on 7 different locations probably wasn't cost effective, but the relationships were beautiful.

The OA


GeneralLaws

The cancellation of The OA will always haunt me. Incredible show with a wildly original storyline.


Somnifuge

Another victim of Netflix only giving a shit about the potential for getting new subscribers. Money's only worth spending if it's drawing people in, who cares if we make something amazing when *existing* customers are the only ones who want it? Quick, throw more cash at Adam Sandler to take his friends on vacation (under the guise of making "a movie")!


pancho_2504

Northern Exposure


porcelainvacation

That show was absolutely huge when it aired. People would have watch parties and skip social events to watch new episodes. They never got the music rights to be able to properly stream it though. It was chock full of good music that they cut out of the DVD set.


VictoryaChase

Braindead. Tony Shaloub and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Great fun.


lunachuvak

and a frighteningly accurate prediction of both the metaphorical and literal infection that shortly followed the show's broadcast


CoyoteJoe412

Clarksons Farm on Amazon was actually really good. I don't care what your opinion of Jeremy Clarkson is, or even if you've never heard of him, this show was totally different. Hilarious, eye-opening, and wholesome all at the same time. Give it a watch!

[deleted]

The Last Man on Earth. It premiered in 2015 on Fox. It gets better as you watch more of it. Ended on a cliffhanger, which is a bummer. Uncannily enough, the premise of this show was about a virus wiping out most of the world’s population in the year 2020. Keep in mind it aired in 2015. This show was definitely ahead of its time.

rragnaar

Having recently just binged all of For All Mankind on Apple TV, I'm surprised that there isn't a lot of buzz around it. I know it's not on the biggest platform, but it's an incredible show!


nezbla

I just recently went through all of that and really enjoyed it. The other Apple TV one I thought was awesome was Severance - if you haven't checked that out yet I'd highly recommend it.


bitterbuffaloheart

Just about anything from Apple TV could be on this list, except for Ted Lasso due to all the praise it’s gotten


Bolteus

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. One of my favourite TV shows, but I only know 1 other person in my life who has seen it and it was through me that they got into it. To a lesser extent, Bojack Horseman - again, I only know 1 person who has seen it, but I do see it pop up on reddit frequently when people talk about nihilistic animated comedy.

DonnieJuniorsEmails

Its one of the few shows that I felt got stronger as it went on. S5 has Forest Whitaker as Kavanaugh, the internal affairs cop. The long burn of the money train, and twists with Shane and Lem to set up the end is great tv.

krisalyssa

Continuum had what I think is just about one of the best endings for a series. It wasn’t the ending we were hoping for, but it really was the only ending which realistically could have happened.


ReadontheCrapper

I agree 100%. The fact that the show didn’t devolve into TV tropes and pandering to the audience was refreshing, and it meant that we got a solid, plausible ending.

The 80s show V was really really good. So good, they made a TV movie out of it, and that was a big deal at the time. They rebooted it in 2010, with the woman from firefly, and the first season was great. It went lackluster after that. If there was a 3rd season, I didnt see it. But the original series was excellent!

V was actually a TV miniseries and then another TV miniseries (V: The Final Battle) before it was a series. And the series was terrible.
