I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships. I also like sci fi and weirdness. For these reasons, two of my favorite shows are The Expanse and Severance. In both, by the end, I felt like I was “part of the team” in some way.

What are a couple of your favorites? What kind of itch do they scratch?

    Arrested Development & Frasier for wit.

    Friends and also the Chicago version of Friends (Happy Endings) for familiarity, knowing and growing w/ characters.

    My favorite shows are the shows I can binge over and over and over and they’re still tons of fun, with enough complexity and depth to still reveal something new after dozens of viewings.

    In no particular order:
    The Orville
    Psych
    Community
    Bob’s Burgers
    Archer
    Eureka
    Rick & Morty
    Home Movies
    Warehouse 13
    Joe Pera Talks With You
    Also, my wife and I watch Friends together a lot. It’s from our time. It really doesn’t age, honestly, because all the humor is about people and relationships; there’s nothing political or edgy, there’s nothing other than telephones to really date it and that doesn’t matter whatsoever, it’s just happenstance.

    Honorable mention:
    Continuum
    Gravity Falls
    Roswell (yeah it was from my time)

    You better get on that Scavengers Reign train. There’s only one season right now, but it rules, especially from a “weirdness” perspective, and there’s not going to be more unless it gets some more attention.

    May I recommend Star Trek: Lower Decks? If you’re a fan of animated shows, that is.

    OP WATCH SCAVENGERS REIGN. Unless you’re sensitive to body horror.

    Especially if you’re sensitive to body horror?

    Didn’t see it mentioned yet so i’ll shout out:

    Devs.

    Super super good sci-fi mystery series relating to quantum theory that introduced some … moral quandaries that stick with you. I dont see it talked about much but I really enjoyed it. Nick Offerman plays the main “bad guy” and it was a jarring but refreshing role change, kinda like John Goodman in the second cloverfield movie. God Damn he killed it.

    admittedly this is kinda basic but Devilman Crybaby. Its gut-wrenching. It makes me cry. Its got hopelessly romantic themes but mostly in a disturbing sort of way, rather than a wholesome rom-com (which i usually hate lol). chefs kiss!!

    It’s not Sci-fi, but I’m shocked nobody has mentioned Six Feet Under, my vote for the best show ever made. With the best ending episode ever made. I never cry watching stuff but I ABSOLUTELY cried when I saw the ending. I tear up just thinking about it or listening to a certain song. I watched it a million years ago, then met someone who I’ve been with for over a decade who became a mortician. I then watched it all over again with them and they felt the same way I did about it. Best show ever.

    I loved Severance too. I don’t usually go to film for my sci-fi cravings though.

    For shows, I really like that just casual kinda mundane tone that sort of parodies reality. Home Movies is great, Bob’s Burgers (the earlier seasons were better for this, but I’m still watching through them). Family Guy has those moments every now and then, although I wouldn’t call it one of my top shows by any means.

    My favorite show is probably Steven Universe. Everything about it was so artistically done; especially the soundtrack. Of the realm of kids/teens shows that were designed for the whole family, Steven Universe is one of the few that I personally think had a great and satisfying ending.

    Interesting to hear! For me, it’s usually exploring an idea, that I find interesting, in detail. Usually something that could perhaps happen in the future (i.e. science fiction).

    So I would say that Westworld is one of my favorite shows. Severance is also very interesting!

    PS: I think you’d like Brooklyn 99.
