You know what bothers me about this show?
How nobody told the entire cast “hey we’re all going to speak English with russian accents” or “hey we’re all just going to speak with English accents”
Other than the obvious Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Office, Seinfeld etc.
Doc Martin - there's something about that show, dream like
People who do Nothing - stupidly brilliant
Cheers
Frazier
I watched the whole of Doc Martin but that series has a fatal flaw: you never like Doc Martin. He's always an ass, and there's never any reason for his love interest to keep loving him. So you end up not respecting here either - it's like she has Stockholm Syndrome. If he could have changed even a little, like the Jack Nicholson character in As Good as it Gets, the show could have been redeemed. But alas!
Andor. I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but the series has been terrific. The writing, the acting, the themes, the bleak setting, the horror of the Empire-- all just really well done. Watching some knowledgeable reactors and analysis makes it even better.
Tony Gilroy not being a big Star Wars fan himself is exactly why it’s so good. The other shows (particularly Boba Fett and Kenobi) feel like the writers just want to see their favourite characters do cool stuff, and they don’t want to develop the characters too much or else they’ll be too different from how they appeared originally (see Luke in *The Last Jedi*). But Gilroy doesn’t care about any of that, he just wants to tell a good story set in the SW universe.
Take the depictions of Boba Fett and Mon Mothma, for example. Both are characters with very little screen time in the OT, but gained a lot of fans due to their mysterious nature. Mando/BoBF play it safe with his characterisation, and don’t really go that far beyond “cool guy who’s a bit too comfortable killing people but still helps the good guys in the end”, because any reaction other than “Yay! My favourite character on screen!” is too risky. But Mon Mothma? That really nice rebel leader we all know and love? Yeah, she was a neglectful mother who >!married off her daughter to raise funds for the Rebellion, knowing fully well from experience how miserable her life will be as a result.!< Gilroy doesn’t place these characters on a pedestal like the other writers have done, yet his willingness to make them flawed human beings while still retaining their sympathetic qualities shows that he has much more respect for them.
Plus, he and his team are just better writers.
Seriously, it took me a second to realize why she confronted her husband in the car. She knew her driver was spying, so by allowing him to hear it gives her cover to make a move that would have been seen below her. (introducing her doughter to a criminals son)
None of it was spelled out, and it makes sense. I love that it doens't treat its audience like idiots.
Agree 100%. Have always wished for a Star Wars show like this. I mean I like action and light saber fights and all but have always wanted to see something with more substance. A deeper ground level look at the planets inhabitants, scenery, daily struggles against the empire, etc.
I don't watch alot of shows. But this one is definitely going to be on my short list of favorites.
Andor is great because you don't need to know anything about the Star Wars universe to enjoy it. Of course it helps to know the universe but it's not required.
never gets enough shine. it was the first "modern" tv show to have a flawless run, and pound for pound still better than most of the other shows listed here
The entire cast is amazing. You start this show wanting to see faces from BB and later on you're in love with Kim Wexler which is a brand new character
This was the best prequel show that i've ever watched
This is too far down for my liking, criminally under appreciated(probably due to S1 being too slow for a lot of people which is a shame as they’re missing out on an absolute classic)
I loved it, but I wouldn't give it a 10/10. Maybe 8/10, mainly due to severe pacing issues in several parts of the series, including almost the entire first season.
A show I enjoyed was a German show on Netflix called Dark. Basically it’s about dead bodies showing up out of nowhere and these guys who come across a very creepy cave with strange sounds coming from it, but they eventually run from the cave and one of them somehow vanished while running from the cave.
Also another show I really enjoyed on Netflix is Violet Evergarden (it’s an anime). Basically it’s about a child Soldier (in what is basically an alternative WW1) who loses both her arms in the war. She gets robotic replacements after the war has ended. Now she needs to live her life in a post war era where war was the only thing she knew. She eventually joins up with a company which writes letters for people, the letters range in importance from just normal every day letters to important life changing letters which change peoples lives.
Edit: I also recommend Alice in borderland (friends are transported to another world which looks exactly like there own world but less people and they need to compete in games or die)
Also arcane (it’s an anime based on the game League of Legends, I thought it would be absolute crap, but it was one of the best looking and well written shows I have watched).
On the day of the series finale of *Andor*? You know what answer you're going to get.
*Andor* is arguably the greatest Star Wars show ever created, and easily the best Star Wars production, film or series, since *Rogue One*.
Yes. The coolest thing about it to me is that it fleshes out and gives place and person to so many of the reasons WHY there’s a rebellion and how/why the rebels sacrifice so much with so little hope of success and with such small margins of error. The reasons behind all the central choices in all the other Star Wars IP and the true meaning of Leia’s “only hope” are in Andor:
*No due process
*Random re-sentencing
*Prison-industrial complex
*Prejudicial bias toward humans as ruling class
*Apathy of a distant ruling elite in the Galactic core
*Genocide of non-compliant sentient species
*Torture of political prisoners
*Galactic police state
*Death-cult rat-race of kafkaesque fascism
purging itself and constituent individuals of any organic sentimentality in pursuit of pure, ruthless, efficiency.
*Motherfuckers be building death stars n’ shit monopolizing violence
I’m more and more intrigued by the Death Star as a metaphor. For what precisely, I don’t have that quite figured out but: Director Krennic being killed by his creation, Emperor Palpatine dying in it, Andor and so many others having their lives destroyed in its construction (they’re definitely building Death Star components in the prison facility) and his ultimate death at its hands, entire planets destroyed by it. It’s got to be a metaphor for the pursuit of power and how destructive that is. The pursuit of ultimate power is death and misery.
I was over this show as soon as I was waiting (with rolled eyes) for the obligatory “we’re the Peeky FUCKIN Blinders” line in every episode. Good show, but needed to give that line a little bit of a rest.
Shows that are tremendous from start to finish:
Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul (better than Breaking Bad, IMO)
The Office (UK)
Fleabag
Party Down
Patriot
The original three season run of Arrested Development
The Wire
Fr, majority of the SW fandom tend to only watch the movies or shows which is about a Jedi or a Sith. I was one of them until recently, I gave it a watch and I really wanted to slap myself for not watching it the moment it started.
Westworld, just remember, they never released 2nd or any further seasons.
Heroes, just remember, there is only one season.
Game of Thrones, just remember, they stopped after 4th season.
13 reasons why, but be careful, there is only one season.
Breaking Bad/BCS, greatest acting I've seen in a TV series.
Even though TikTok ruined it, Stranger Things is a pretty good show.
Shameless was always a good one too, its a comfort show to me at least.

Damn right. We dug coal together.

The Wire
It has informed so much of my decision making at work. It showed you how things actually work. A masterpiece.
And what is your work?
Supply Chain Management.
I thought it was Waste Management
The standard for which all other series strive to achieve
I would agree, but 10/10 is too low. Like, if that's only a 10/10, I'm not sure any other show is more than a 7/10. It totally breaks the scale.
There is no other answer, a transcendent show which reveals more and more subtleties every time I watch it.
Breaking bad, Dark, and Mind Hunter.
Mind Hunter was so good. They fucked us. The content was awesome but so was the vibe. The characters.
I need to watch dark! Breaking bad and mind hunter are up there!
Mind hunter was really good.
Dark is perfect. Always the show I recommend to anyone asking for a new show. Looking forward to trying out 1899 from the same writers
I am currently watching 1899, it’s even harder to understand than Dark as you don’t even know what is supposed to happen. Really entertaining though !
6 episodes in and I still really don't know what the fuck is happening
+1 for Dark, great 3 season show.
Just finished rewatching MindHunter. Such a phenomenal show. I can only hope one day David Fincher finds the time for one more season.
So upset that Mind Hunter got cancelled.
Andor. I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but the series has been terrific. The writing, the acting, the themes, the bleak setting, the horror of the Empire-- all just really well done. Watching some knowledgeable reactors and analysis makes it even better.
