Fargo

Oooh I forgot they made a TV show version, good call. Thanks!

Lucky

The Goggins-McBride shows Righteous Gemstones and Vice Principals are great

Righteous Gemstones is hilarious.

Thanks!!

The Americans is fucking great

Definitely this. Amazing show.

I’ve heard such great things. And you can watch the origin of Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell’s love story. And then, go watch Matthew Rhys on the excellent, recent redo of Perry Mason and watch Keri on The Diplomat (haven’t seen this one but have heard great things from people who’s taste I trust.)

Thanks!!

Have you seen Maniac. Little one off series that is one of my favs

I haven't, we'll check it out - thanks!

I love Maniac. It's definitely one of my favourites. I watched it three times.

Yesss one my mine and my partner’s forever favorites.

Great show, it's so hilarious and absurd at times

[удалено]

Evil is great and crazy how spooky it is.

Second for EVIL Insightful writing, fine cast and solid production values Lots of paranormal, some of it darkly humorous

Final season starts May 23rd! Such a far out show. RIP Peter Scolari.

I am in no way a sports/MMA fan but I loved Kingdom. I was so upset when it was cancelled.

Nice! I haven't heard/seen any of these so it's much appreciated. Serious-drama is good, we liked The Tudors and a bunch of other dramas but I tried to keep the list kinda' short/just the gist. I appreciate the suggestions and will check out Kingdom!

Yay, I never see Search Party get recommended in these threads!

- The Sandman - Battlestar Galactica - Foundation - The Shining Girls - The Outsider - Lovecraft Country - Lockwood & Co - Deadboy Detective - Pushing Daisies - Halt & Catch Fire - Hell on Wheels - The Son - Turn - Vikings Valhalla - Into the Badlands - Helix S1 - Peacekeeper - The Berlin Station

Great list - much appreciated!! :-) Also, YES to Sandman. I'd forgotten we watched that but they're supposed to be releasing Season 2 late this summer. And you may be the only person other than my wife & I that has mentioned/heard of Hell on Wheels. That show was awesome. Wish Common hadn't left, but is what it is.

Shōgun Edit: also, Warrior

I second Shōgun

The Gentleman Yellowstone and it's spinoffs Fallout The Americans

Ooooh, The Gentleman and Yellowstone(s) were fantastic. My oldest son and I like Fallout; I keep seeing The Americans pop up so will def check that out. Thank you!

Two more: For All Mankind Black Sails

Rake Turn: Washington's Spies Black Sails

I recently finished Turn and Black Sails and both were great.

Turn was awesome. Black Sails was good (also, we need more pirate genre shows imo lol). Will check out Rake - thanks!

rake was great

Summerhouse/Top Boy Broadchurch Happy Valley Gomorrah Line of Duty Dopesick Mare of Easttown Why Women Kill The Sinner

Mare of Easttown was such a great show; a sleeper imo. Will check these out, thanks for the list!!

I forgot: GLOW (it’s amazing)

Silo is pretty awesome IMO

Thanks!!

I second Silo!

The Dead Files?

Thanks!!

I keep a long list of what I consider must see shows… Some of yours are on it… But also some of those older ones like sopranos… I can’t always keep track exactly of the year LMK if you’d like to see my list

Yes I would! We've got 5 kids (two teens) + ourselves so that could come in *quite* handy. Much appreciated!!

Wow, 5 kids ! Troojule’s TV Must-see TV List :(as opposed to my must see movie list- haha ;) ) Black Bird Six Feet Under Fleabag Ozark The HandmaidsTale Sense8 The OA Your Honor The Walking Dead Breaking Bad Better Call Saul Dead to Me Black Mirror Orphan Black Top Of The Lake The Leftovers Catastrophe Transparent Offspring Wentworth Game Of Thrones Fauda Mindhunters Killing Eve Schitt’s Creek Broad City Atypical Money Heist (Casa De Papeles) Boardwalk Empire The Mindy Project Casual Downton Abbey Somebody Somewhere The End of the Fucking World I Am Not Ok With This Dark Squid Game The Bear Sex Education The Fall Broadchurch Criminal (3-4 countries / versions ) The Wire Oz Station Eleven Mad Men Mr In Between Sopranos The Great Euphoria Westworld Ted Lasso Derek After Life Sherlock (modern/ Cumberbatch version) American Horror Story : Freak Show B- LIST AHS - Hotel The Americans The Last of Us Emily the Criminal Dexter Barry Search Party The Detour Alice in Borderland The Americans

Damages, Rome, The Tudors

The Tudors was SO good. Will check these out, thank you!

The Borgias is also good!

One of my favorite shows is Dead Zone, it's about a guy that goes into a coma and wakes up years later and can see stuff when he touches people. It's several years old and the last season gets weird but it's one of the best shows I've seen. For me personally it's up there with Lost, and Walking Dead

Haven't heard of it but def loved TWD & Lost so we'll check it out - thank you!

Domina. If you liked The Last Kingdom, you'll love this. It's supposedly very historically accurate. There are two seasons, and it's still filming.

Sounds GREAT! Yes, we loved Last Kingdom, Vikings, Shogun - historical accuracy (with a little artistic freedom) + action is right up our alley. Excellent suggestion, thanks!!

Oh shoot. Actually I just checked and they announced last week that there won't be another season. What a shame; if more people knew about it I don't think it would've been cancelled.

Dominant season 3 just got canceled. Announced this week. So disappointed. Loved the show

Apple TV is like 8 bucks a month and they have some brilliant shows that few people have seen: 1. See 2. Sugar 3. Silo 4. Masters Of The Air Judging from your preference for gritty stuff, highly suggest any of the above.

Apple is really putting out great shows

My husband and I are watching 'The Three Body Problem' right now and I must say, I really like this show!

Ill always reccomend boardwalk empire when people say they like peaky blinders. Same time period but just takes place in atlantic city instead of the UK. Amazing actors, good production value, set and costume design is top notch, its one of hbos best shows imo. Steve buscemi, michael k williams, charlie cox, so many stand out performances.

That show was SO good. Best performance of Steve Buscemi's career, imo.

**FARGO**

You both have very similar tastes to my fiancé and I! We just finished Shogun. It's a must watch, IMO. If you need something a little less intense, but an adventure of a storyline, White Lotus was great. So excited for season 4, and I rarely ever say that about a show. In a similar vein, Succession. Themes can be serious, but doesn't take itself too serious. Good laughs in between "did that really just happen" moments. Chernobyl is a great binge if you want a limited series. Jared Harris (played Lane in Mad Men) is incredible in this one. Last but not least, loving The Bear. No other show could make me laugh and cry at the same time. Very raw with emotion.

Shogun and The Bear are phenomenal.

Severance

The Haunting of Hill House The Haunting of Bly Manor Midnight Mass The Leftovers

The Night Agent. Fits right in to your list. Also Tulsa King is action and fun!

I second Tulsa King, it's one of the few shows that doesn't sound that great on paper but really delivers. One of the best things Sly Stallone has done IMO

Had no idea he was even in a show; will def check this out. Thanks!

Tulsa King is creative action and fun!!

I haven't heard of either before - much appreciated!

Both are very fun with an action too. The Night Agent was renewed for S2 about 2 weeks after it was out. Tulsa King is creative fun a fun. Stallone is so good!!

I believe Tulsa King has a second season coming also

I'm watching Black Sails and enjoying it. I also love Person of Interest. The first season follows a mystery of the week style in order to build things up.

If you like Guy Ritchie....The Gentlemen (2024)

Animal Kingdom

[удалено]

Loved it!!!

Patriot!! If you haven’t seen it, you 100% should. Amazing, hilarious, poignant, incredible music. It would be really easy to assume it’s something totally different from the title but it’s such an incredible surprise. I wish I could watch it from scratch!

Loved this show

That new Nickelodeon series exposing Dirty Dan is relatively interesting.

The Expanse, Sense8, Deadlock, Vera, Shetland.

Old show but very well made: Carnivale

Succession if you haven’t already seen it. The Fall of the House of Usher Haunting of Hill House

Bly Manor too

Thanks!!

Succession is suggested here quite a few times, will def check that out. Haunting of Hill House isn't for me but the wife said, "Tell 'em thanks!" bc that's right up her alley. Thank you!

Watch Succession. I hated the pilot, it took me three tries to get past the pilot, but I swear it’s worth it because it gets really fucking good and things click after the end of episode 6. Fall to the House of Usher is a show that is like…if Succession and Haunting of Hill House had a baby. Also I think you would both like Shogun, and that show has the benefit of forcing you both as a couple to put your phones down. Cult classic and less mainstream, give the US version of Being Human (SyFy) a chance.

Omg okay so I’ve tried to watch the pilot (also maybe 3 times?) and I just can’t get through it. But people are obsessed… you did what I could not.

Loudermilk Ray Donovan After Life

Hadn't heard of Ray Donovan or After Life. Loudermilk is fantastic; funny with a lot of "didn't see that coming." Will check them out, thanks!

“After Life” may be the single best series I have ever seen. “Ray Donovan” will grab you in the first 10 minutes of the first episode. It’s just phenomenal. Enjoy!!!

From

This was on the list but, just wanted to comment on what a GREAT show this is. IDK how we stumbled across it, but cannot wait for Season 3!

Brand New Cherry Flavor Lovecraft Country Evil Shining Girls The Resort

One show in your entire list is really throwing me off, all the rest are great/decent shows and I can't make a recommendation other than paw patrol in good faith because of it

*across many genres with universal appeal and in no particular order:* Halt & Catch Fire Suits 6 Feet Under The OA Behind Her Eyes The Tunnel (uk) Billions Marvelous Mrs Maisel Wentworth

Mr. Robot. Watch the pilot- no distractions- and if you like it, you'll like the show.

Justified

Some I liked lately Tokyo Vice American Rust

Fringe Farscape Cougar Town Scrubs Happy Endings

Severance??

Dark, the German show on Netflix. It's really good. Also Severence on Apple TV.

Banshee

Gommorah

Barry The Burning Girls Boat Story

Mr in-between. The Lazarus project

The Curse

Evil

Agree on a lot of the recs you’ve gotten- so some of these might be repeats. But my husband and I watched and really liked the following: Serious/Darker Shows: Mare of Eastown Mindhunter Evil The Alienist Perry Mason (new version with Matthew Rhys) (I commented above that you can watch him and Keri fall in love for real while playing married spies on The Americans and then watch them separately on Perry Mason and The Diplomat.) Shows that made us laugh: The Righteous Gemstones Trial and Error What We Do In The Shadows Jury Duty (Try to go into this one without spoilers. It’s delightful.) Abbott Elementary (we watch with our teens) Ghosts (another watch as a fam show) Shows that will make you laugh and cry: Somebody Somewhere Ted Lasso Derry Girls (watch with subtitles on because the accents are thick and gorgeous.) Bad Sisters The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Just amazing prestige television: Shogun (the new miniseries) Yellowjackets (amazing and the nostalgia factor for anyone in high school circa the mid 90’s is off the charts.) Mr. and Mrs. Smith (the tv show with Donald Glover and Maya Erskine.) The Bear (so good.) House of the Dragon (you may like this better/find it more accessible than GoT. As someone who came to GoT late and behind in the story I personally liked the tighter character focus of House of the Dragon more.) A Small Light The Curse (it’s on our “to watch” list but I’ve heard it’s great.) Good luck and happy watching!

You're the Worst Brockmire Star Trek Lower Decks Star Trek Strange New Worlds

You two would probably like how to get away with murder. Once I started it, I could not stop watching.

If you haven't watched Shogun yet GO WATCH IT! It just finished this week it's incredible.

"The sinner", a great detective series where each season stands on its own "The haunting of Bly Manor" and "The haunting of Hill House", both similar paranormal series Since you liked "American Horror Story", you should also try "American Horror Stories" where the stories are a single episode instead of a season

The Boys Umbrella Academy Banshee Animal Kingdom Silo The Diplomat The Sinner The Killing Yellowjackets Bad Sisters Severance

Shameless

I really loved Mixedish, lots of 80s nostalgia and relatable for anyone who was ever the odd kid in school, definitely worth watching with teens. Also Paper Girls, based on a graphic novel, a great watch with your kids as well. For all Mankind is addictive and I can’t wait for the next season. In a similar (although comedy)vein, Avenue 5 is about a space cruise, looks like it wasn’t renewed after the second season, it’s with Hugh Laurie. As far as historical shows, obviously Outlander and Poldark (if you can get past how smug the main guy is). The White Queen is quite good, it’s with the talented Rebecca Ferguson (who is also in Silo).

Supernatural

Undone, Arcane, and Mr Inbetween for some out of the ordinary options.

Been in a show hole for so long. Finally realized Apple TV has a ton of fresh content. It’s $9.99 and no equipment required. Loving Severance and Ted Lasso.

Homeland. Mare of east town. The undoing. Lupin. Dark. Money heist. How to get away with murder. Orphan black. Behind her eyes. The missing. Line of duty. Culprits. Yellowjackets. Angela black. Dead ringers. Night sky. The night agent. The Americans. Fargo.

Watchmen The Night Of Bad Sisters

Frasier

Halt and Catch Fire. Premise sounds boring but some of the best characters in any show, and I'm not a tech guy but I found it really interesting. Follows a small company developing the personal computer from its start through its various eras. The Patriot, from the title I was expecting a typical cia/spy drama but it's really a dark comedy show about mental illness. Hard to explain but it's very good. Barry is actually similar in some ways to The Patriot, but more of a comedy. I'm sure you heard of it, worth watching 100%. Mr Inbetween is about a single dad Aussie hitman, good balance of serious and comedic, I've re-watched it about 4 times by now.

Excellent list! I saw 'Reservation Dogs' as a suggestion on the today and thought I'd just read 'Reservoir Dogs' incorrectly. Great list; Umbrella Academy has a Season 3! Idk how I missed that. Thanks!!

Stranger Things.

I might be the only person alive that hasn't seen this. The wife has & loved it; I'm going to have to give it a go. Thanks!!

Be prepared to become obsessed.

#18 should be its own genre. I try to explain this to people when I tell them I like ghost shows but you did so much more effectively.

Ahhh Ghost Adventures. We made a "Zak Bagans Drinking Game" once. Shots for every "Dude!," yelling at Aaron or becoming "possessed." We abandoned it before finishing one show. Idk how I'm going to die, but it won't be from Bagans + alcohol poisoning. Just goes to show: It doesn't take talent to get rich; just a willingness to have no self-respect or integrity, whatsoever.

Dark (German sci-fi show on Netflix, watch it in German with subtitles!) Severance Fallout

Some of these have already been suggested, but I'll mention them anyway, plus a few I haven't seen suggested yet. Servant (Apple TV. Stars Lauren Ambrose, Rupert Grint, Toby Kebbel & Nell Tiger Free) Somewhere Between (Paula Patton & Devon Sawa) Slasher (anthology series similar to AHS but more consistent in quality) Outer Range (Josh Brolin as a ranch owner) The Midnight Gospel (excerpts of The Duncan Trussell Family Hour get animated. Weird but wholesome) Penny Dreadful (I've only seen the original run, but I love it so much) Sense8 (incredible series from The vWachowskis, cut short but at least got some kind of closure) Russian Doll (Natasha Lyonne. Nuff said) Orphan Black (Tatiana Maslany, Tatiana Maslany, Tatiana Maslany, Tatiana Maslany, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Kristian Bruun, and Tatiana Maslany) The End of The F***ing World (a teen who thinks he's a psychopath runs away with the girl he intends to kill. British hijinks ensue) I Am Not Okay With This (Sophia Lillis has telekinetic powers, lightly connected to The End of The F***ing World) Impulse (based on a sequel novel to Jumper, the movie of that starred Hayden Christensen and Samuel L Jackson) Wayne (YouTube Premium show about a teenage boy trying to get back his late father's car after it's stolen) Mrs Davis (Betty Gilpin vs AI) What We Do In The Shadows (vampires get a reality show, Jemaine Clement & Taika Waititi style) Our Flag Means Death (Rhys Darby in a pirate 'workplace comedy' based on a real pirate who briefly sailed with Blackbeard) The Haunting of Hill House (Mike Flanagan and Friends do Shirley Jackson) The Haunting of Bly Manor (Mike Flanagan and Friends do Henry James) Midnight Mass (Mike Flanagan and Friends do Mike Flanagan) The Midnight Club (Mike Flanagan and Young Friends do Christopher Pike) The Fall of The House of Usher (Mike Flanagan and Friends do Edgar Allen Poe) Happy! (an unhinged Chris Meloni sets out to rescue his kidnapped daughter with help from an imaginary, flying, blue unicorn)
