From on MGM+ is absolutely fantastic. I love the mystery, the horror, and everything else about it. I am excited to see where it goes. I also absolutely love Foundation on Apple TV+, amazing CGI and fantastic world (or universe) building.

    Hands down it has to be Fringe, amazing cast, great premise and manages to transition from monster of the week - a la X Files - to a fully immersive story that is action packed and tugs at your heartstrings. I’m not sure what platform it’s available on these days, but I’m sure you can sail the high seas if need be.

    Oh, and it’s 5 seasons that actually has an ending, unlike many shows on streaming these days!

    First thing that popped into my mind: Galavant. It’s a prime time network fantasy comedy from a writer of Cars and Tangled, teamed up with the composer from Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.

    It’s like if The Princess Bride was two seasons of musical television with songs from the golden 90’s era of Disney. In a just world, it’d have six seasons and a movie.

      Oh Galavant, Galavant

      It’s the only show where I’ve sat down with multiple people and forced them to watch.

      So far it was all success, and everyone loved it. I’ve seen the whole show more times than anything else, and the soundtrack is coming back to my music rotation from time to time.

      It’s just a superb production, with great sets, amazing actors, and absolutely bonkers soundtrack.

    The Middleman! It was 1 hour comedy that played on ABC Family that sadly got canceled after its first season. It was a farcical take on the super spy genre based off the comic books of the same name with Matt Kessler and Natalie freaking Morales. Vampire Ventriloquist Dummies, Zombie Flying Fish, and all Alien Boy Bands. It’s a hilarious send up spy and comic book tropes.

      Exactly same. Gf & I got into it a few weeks ago and just caught up to current. We’re champing at the bit to see what happens next.

    I really enjoyed “Travellers” a 3 season showcase/Netflix time travel show where time travellers possess the bodies of people right before they are going to die and try to stop the apocalypse.

        It has a real ending, Season 3 ends in away that would make if difficult (but not impossible) to continue the show.

          but netflix does and that’s what i’m referring to; i’ve been avoiding starting any netflix shows because of it.

          thanks for sharing; now that i know it has an ending i’ll finish watch it.

        Where Mr robot is an unreliable narrator that questions himself, devs has a paranoia that someone else is controlling the narrative to purposefully make you question,

          That makes it sound more enticing.

          I was asking about the technology. The wiki article said it was a story of a software engineer’s experiences and I was asking if the technology portrayed in the show was realistic like it was in Mr robot; it’s my field and I’ll get turned off to the show if it’s laughably unrealistic.

            There’s no safe way to answer this without giving away plot points, I don’t think. Most important thing is that it’s sci-fi, not a drama about developers in the way you might expect.

            As egrets mentioned, it is more sci-fi tech rather than realistic tech. I don’t think it is extremely unrealistic as a proposed idea, but it is something that could never work at the scale shown in the show. In a weird way, the end of the show felt to me like it got both more realistic and more unrealistic. I’m trying not to spoil anything, but I hope that can give a bit more info to decide if you would like it.

    ‘Midnight Mass’ somehow completely went under my radar first, but DAMN, that was a great mini series!

      Utopia (Channel 4) has an impeccable vibe. I’m really sad that we didn’t get more of it because of the drama with rights after Amazon bought them
