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?
I really enjoyed both shows as well. You might enjoy Silo which is a pretty solid recent sci-fi show I can recommend. Andor is also excellent, it’s hands down my favorite thing from the Star Wars universe. Farscape is also absolutely fantastic. It starts out a bit slow, but it’s absolutely amazing once it gets going. Also enjoyed Love Death and Robots, they took a bunch of short sci-fi stories and make episodes out of each. Firefly is another excellent show.

You want The Good Place
Yup, a lot of great shows are being thrown around, but a good place captures everything you want - growing friendships and relationships, unravelling weirdness, and being a part of the team.

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.
Elsewhere in this thread, I suggested Joe Pera.
Joe Pera works with a lot of other “Joes.” Like Jo Firestone and Jo Scott in his show, but also animator Joe Bennett, creator of Scavenger’s Reign.
Joe Pera’s bathroom book is illustrated by Joe Bennett, and Joe Pera voices at least one of Joe Bennett’s short films.

Honestly, I fucking love that there is crossover between these two, because they’re both brilliant, thoughtful, and touching in their own way.
Also, I just love that its a weird network of people somehow all named Joe.
Regular show
Its just so fun to watch and I am glad someone archived all of the episodes in the best quality
Where’s the archive? Tryna rewatch that shi
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks
Halt and Catch Fire: It’s a really cool drama about a group of very different people, who come together because of one shared goal, and then everyone following their own desires - more or less burning bridges and rebuilding them over 4 seasons of the show.
Itchy and Scratchy scratch my itch.
OP WATCH SCAVENGERS REIGN. Unless you’re sensitive to body horror.
Especially if you’re sensitive to body horror?
You know, I’ve never been invested in such a beautifully colored body horror. Design and color are off the charts good.
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.
I also loved Devs. Great soundtrack too.

May I recommend Star Trek: Lower Decks? If you’re a fan of animated shows, that is.
I can vouch for Lower Decks!
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.Honorable mention:
Continuum
Gravity Falls
Roswell (yeah it was from my time)So nice to see another Eureka/Warehouse 13 fan. Those shows are like perfect comfort food to me.
Nice!
The Haunting of Bly Manor. I think it’s beautifully tragic. 🥲 And I really connected with their protrayl of grief. A close runner up would be The Haunting of the Hill House.
Right now? Enjoying Preacher, that seems like it would suit you.
Ever? That has to be Dr. Who. I watched it as a kid and watched the newer ones with my kids.
Westworld (Season 1). The other seasons are good and have great moments but season 1 is special.
Yeah season 1 was so good, it got worse after which is a shame
Dark
- This is the most intricate show ever. The Sistine Chapel of TV
The Wire
- The most real and relevant show. Much more than just a cop show. I would say this is the best bit of TV ever.
Colin From Accounts
- Hilarious. Kind of insane. First 5 minutes and I can’t believe what just happened. Makes me want to visit Australia.
Dude, the casting in Dark absolutely blew my fuckin mind, choom. I don’t want to spoil the plot in the seasons after the first by telling people who haven’t seen it what I mean, but if you’ve seen it you know exactly what I mean.
It’s sooooo good. Young/old Noah. Young/old Boris. So many amazing examples.
I absolutely loved Dark and followed it for most of the run. However, I haven’t watched the last season yet. Is it good?
Yes.
Cool. I’ll watch it.
Yes
Cool. I’ll watch it.
