I'll update later with Hulu picks!
.. Oh, yes I also watch shows, aired by PBS "Midsomer Murders' "Doc Martin" "Downtown Abbey' and now episodes of "Victoria" ...
Yes to Dark Matter, what a shame they cancelled it.....yet Killjoys still lives what a bunch of idiots in charge at the SciFi channel
Oh! I forgot!! THE ORVILLE. (takes a bit to get used to it, but when you do it ticks all the boxes)
I agree it really hits is stride around ep 4-5 which is actually pretty fast for a new show. I recently tried to watch STNG first season again ...its pretty ropey in places and a little dated now.
I just adore Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) and just watched my favorite one in the series, "Carnival Magic." Of course, all the movies they lampoon are bad, but this one is so bad it's epic. Screenshot attached for your enjoyment. (Netflix, season 1 ep. 12)
Other shows I have enjoyed: Human, The Good Place, Cosmos, Star Trek TNG, and Sherlock (with Benedict Cumberbatch). Wish there were more Black Mirror episodes that didn't give me nightmares. (enjoyed U.S.S. Callister and San Junipero, can't watch most of the others)
I miss the original Tom Servo, his voice was the best to me.
@buzz13 I liked the original series too! am just so happy they resurrected it!
My favorite TV series of all times, The Prisoner. Currently watching on 'Jessica Jones' on Netflix.
I find TV often boring. Too many sitcoms which I can't stand. There was "Game of Thrones" .. "Vikings" the ladder became too violent and after 'Ragnar' the main character really, was laid to rest in a snake pit .. I had it. Much prior to all this, I loved Battleship Galactica and Star Trek, of course ... being a Gemini, air sign, these outlandish fictions fueled my imagination. Now I am mosty on NETFLIX .. Twice I watched "Kurt Seyit ve Şura" a Turkish film with many episodes, very captivating, emotional and just beautiful taking place during the Russian revolution St. Petersburg to the Crimea, a one time Ottoman empire but annexed by Catherine II, to Istanbul and the life of the Russian refugies .. a political love story .. beautiful, protrait by beautiful people and superb acting. I watched "The Crown' a well executed portrayal of Queen Elisabeth II. Well, LONGMIRE was inspiring me to see it 3 times from the beginning to the last episode. I still go back and see a few episodes her and there. The best Western "Cowboys and Indians' I have seen. The interaction of modern day Native Americans (Cheyenne in this case} and the descendants of white Europeans that setteld in their land, was tense, but often affectionate. Great acting by Robert Taylor, the Sheriff Walt Langmire.
Deadwood, Breaking Bad, Ray Donovan, Outlander
Deadwood had some classic moments and Ian McShane was perfect as the saloon owner
Shameless is my favorite
Hope we get another season-watched all 7.
The Americans
Homeland
Shameless
Weeds
Sopranos
"Dr. Who", "Torchwood", and "The Big Bang Theory" are definitely my top 3. Of course, I'm also stoked "Roseanne" is coming back on and that "Will and Grace" already has. I'm also an "Ancient Aliens" fanatic having watched all of them and bought/read the books by 90% of the people they interview for commentary.
I totally loved "SMASH"...but only because I'm a huge Broadway fan and can often be found singing random show tunes....
...and I've probably seen every episode of MASH at least 5 times.
All time Favorite: Fringe
Others: How I met your Mother...Legen.....wait for it....Dary, Legendary; Sienfeld; Travellers; That 70's Show (except final season); MASH, Big Bang Theory and Bones to name a few.
Office, Friends, Dexter, 13 Reasons Why, Santa Clarita Diet, Stranger Things, SVU, The Good Doctor, Breaking Bad, Ghosted.
so many responses for this, it has to be X FILES for me
Seinfeld will remain the touch stone for me. Larry David is brilliant tho I can not stand to watch him shuffle around. The show always addressed edgy topics in a most obtuse manner. Also insignificant situations that effect us all. Elaine finds out Putty is a Jesus Freak. Laughing right this moment.
Most shows that entertained me are so often cancelled. This is because I am the antithisis of mainstream interests. I do prefer knowlege to entertainment but I tend towards Canada & the BBC & of course PBS.
