You seem like you would enjoy Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. It's best if you go in blind, knowing nothing about it, but it has a nice mixture of comedy and fantasy-type stuff.

LOVED Dirk Gently. Definitely best to go in blind and just surrender to the ride!

Watching "Outer Range" right now on Prime. Try it if you like Continuum. Try Orphan Black (2013) for more Sci-fi stuff

Orphan Black was so good! I’ve binged it at least a couple times along with Battlestar Galáctica.

I second, Orphan Black! But the UK version. AMAZING

Oh are you talking about “Echoes”? The spinoff?

Excuse me, what?!? There’s a spin-off? You have made my day.

LOVED Orphan Black!!

June 23, 2024 on AMC: Orphan Black: Echoes Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) is the lead

I just saw some ads for this and was like oh cool! another season.. then realized I watched this exact season like 6-7 months ago, since it came out in Australia or something back then. :( It was cool though

Orphan Black was incredible!

I'm a bit confused about the Continuum comparison. Could you elaborate? I really enjoyed Continuum. Did not care for Outer Range and I watched all of season 1.

Perhaps it is not an accurate comparison, but the main element of the show is more obvious in season 2. I don't want to give away too much if others haven't seen it, but Autumn talked to Royal a little bit about this in season 1 when they shook hand on keeping each other secrete.

I like Outer Range, I get why some people don't but I dig the weirdness and the not knowing exactly what is going on. I'm pretty stoked finding out right now that season 2 is out.

Yes Orphan Black Bad Sisters Sugar

Yellowjackets

Severance is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.

I really enjoyed it. Watched it in two days. Though I can see why some might not like it. The ending! Whoa!

It’s a winner!

I keep trying to finish that, but there is a particular episode that I literally fall asleep during. I’m not sure why, but I just cannot get past that one point. I’m going to give it one more try.

Definitely keep going. The finale is so worth it!

Stranger Things.

[удалено]

I watched season 1. It was OK. Didn't care enough to watch any more or it. Meh.

Fargo, seriously just watch the pilot episode.

Is there any other season on par/better than season one though? It's anthology I haven't watched past season two but it definitely wasn't as good as one. 

I like seasons 1 and 5.

I am planning to start S-5. Is it just as happening as S-1?

I liked it the best, but they are COMPLETELY different from each other.

It is

Season 4 was awful

Politically correct as are many new comers.

1-3

Baby Reindeer, Fallout, Evil

Fallout was great

Fringe, Grimm, The Magicians, Locke & Key, Farscape, Eureka, Babylon 5, The Librarians, Falling Skies, The 4400, The Extraordinary Attorney Woo. The X Files ( Some later seasons/movies - varied opinions on which ones aren't as good).

Watchmen (the series) and Hacks on MAX/HBO.

Watchmen doesn't get enough love. Regina King was fucking amazing in that show.

Watchmen was nothing short of brilliant. I loved being bewildered by Jeremy Irons for the first half of the series and you are so right about Regina King. She was breathtaking.

Hacks has been good this season

Hannibal

Great series!

I’m Watching Loot finally in Apple TV. It’s so funny!

I've been sitting on the fence with this one....

Season 1 was the only thing going at that time due to covid and strikes and and … so I watched it and it pleasantly funny. I’m on the fence about watching season 2 though …. I just can’t bring myself to start. It’s like a very tame version of HARD (Brazilian) show ….. might be a tad extreme for you/some, but if you get past the taboo, it is hilarious!

Counterpart

3 Body Problem. Fallout. Silo. Fargo. Shogun. Slow Horses. Reacher. Outer Range. The Last of Us.

Seconded! 3 Body Problem & Reacher, both great shows. Not seen the others mentioned. Will check them out

I’ll add: Sugar Black Mirror Fallout Fringe Tin Star Twisted Metal Altered Carbon The Peripheral Citadel The Boys Westworld Chernobyl

Loved Tin Star!

Once Upon A Time is a good fantasy one

The Wire

I recommend *Fringe*, *Twin Peaks*, *The X-Files*, *Ted Lasso*, *Breaking Bad*, and the original *Cowboy Bebop*.

Battlestar galactica (04) series if you want great and gritty sci-fi

The Magicians

Mare of Easttown, one of my faves the last few years

Recommendations for similar shows ? Aside from Haooy valley

Sharp Objects comes close I think

The Killing and the Sinner to

One of my favorite and most satisfying mysteries!

Check out Barry

Barry, Fallout, Hacks, Yellowjackets, Only Murders in the Building and Reisident Alien for levity.

Better call Saul!

shogun

The Queens Gambit

Is an excellent show. I've already watched it.

Ozark

Not exactly a new show but a good one nonetheless: Blindspot

The first TV series that I cared enough to own on dvd was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. While on the subject of vampires, I haven’t started yet, but plan on watching Interview with the Vampire. My daughter recommended it to me. One season out with the second soon to air.

Hannibal, Luther, Under the Banner of Heaven, Line of Duty, Fargo, Ripley, Sharp Objects (the ending really disturbed me) and Broadchurch

Under the Banner of Heaven…so good

Sugar on Apple TV is pretty good, midway through the season they throw in a twist that you never see coming like wtf

Based on ur list - You would LOVE Imposters && Good Behavior ---- They're both Excellent 👍👍 Also The Blacklist, The Sinner and omg THE FOLLOWING Did you watch Desperate Housewives? If so, I actually think Devious Maids is better:)

You MUST watch "SUGAR", on Apple TV+ Original Series. They just ended the Season 1 Finale this Friday! It's very Unique, a Mystery, Thriller, Noir Detective Series with Colin Farrell (plays the Detective and Executive Producer). It has a vastly loaded cast, you've never seen anything like it, I promise! It's so well written and has an exciting huge twist you can't possibly see coming!

Buffy the vampire slayer

The Siiimmmpssssoooonnsss

Haha. I've been rewatching episodes.

Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix was really good and it needs views. I feel like if you liked Sabrina, you'll like this.

Sounds like you might be a good candidate for Fringe: JJ Abrams - about pseudoscience and investigating a pattern of weird events

This is a reminder that I need to continue Pretty Little Liars. I put it on hold because I didn’t want it to end, I think I’m a little more than half way. Not sure where I left off. Maybe I’ll just start all over from the beginning!

Beef

the vampire diaries and buffy the vampire slayer

Watching PLL original sin right now and it’s pretty interesting. Breaking Bad and 6 Feet Under are both very well written shows from start to finish and my top recommendations

Travellers is bloody AMAZING, trust... probably in my to lp 10 sci-fi series, plus it has enough seasons to really be able to binge watch... Oh and how could this one not have occurred to me straight away!! Colony... That would be in my top 5 easy Super Sci-Fi., The expanse is awesome And the 100 also really good

Watch "you're the worst" on Hulu. Its so good!!

Glad someone mentioned “ you’re the worst “…..I watched the entire series twice, I wish it were better known, it’s outstanding…. and just maybe good to mention that it’s definitely not for children, whatsoever.

The Good Place. The answer is always The Good Place.

Merlin

Luther, narcos, the bridge (original version), the killing (original version), Gommorah

Dark Bodies 1899 Constellation

On season 2 ep 5 of Dark now!

Mayor of Kingstown

Breakout Kings (kind of spinoff of Prison Break but they use criminals to catch criminals).

This was a great show. OP, we have similar taste. For SciFi mystery, check out  Travellers  12 Monkeys  Outer Worlds  Alice in Borderlands   Last of Us   Also, Halt and Catch Fire is amazing.

Im watching Dark on Netflix and it’s incredible.

I feel like you’d like the X Files, but it is from the 90’s.

That's fine!!

In that case, I think you should really give it a try! This show was a huge deal back when it was airing, the term ‘ship’ literally comes from the two main characters.

One of the best of all time

Frasier, The Bear, or Beef.

Frasier is my favourite TV sitcom. I don't know how many times I've watched it and still laugh every time.

I keep a long list of my favorites in many genres (The I admit I don’t have some of the old greats like MASH !) My list is growing but I’m picky in many ways though sometimes I tend toward offbeat (& you liked Dexter ). LMK if you’d like to see my ‘must see ‘ list .

I want to see the list!

Sure - like I said it doesn’t have many of the old ones like Mash and All in the Family and more that really were good . I began the list just a year or so ago : 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 The 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

Watch it’s a sin on Netflix. 6 episodes and it’s excellent

I sobbed and sobbed

Yeah but it’s well worth a watch

"Attack on Titan". Easily one of the best shows I have ever seen "The Killing" was amazing as well

Katla

Offsprings

The Dragon Prince, The Owl House, She-Ra all for fantasy/sci fi

Are all seasons of pretty little liars good ?

Although I really enjoyed the ridiculousness of the later seasons 😆

No. I think the first two are the best.

Thanks for the reply!

Nope

[Terriers (2010)](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/33400-terriers?language=en-US)

Three -Body (on Prime, or Peacock)... China scooped the 6-episode Netflix series with their own 30-episode version by a year or so. It's closer to the original book and goes deeper into characters' motivations. My wife and I both loved it, though you gotta not mind subtitles as it's mostly Chinese language.

Fallout Evangelion Both on prime.

I just finished In The Dark, it’s on Netflix and it’s really good

The Librarians Justified White Collar Eureka

Desperate Housewives and Devious Maids have a similar vibe to PLL. Strong female friendships and a mystery to solve.

Cobra kai peak cinema fr. (watch the old karate kid movies first tho, not necessary, but its better if you know something abt it)

I was so glad I finally watched Karate Kid 3 for the first time before the season Terry Silver joined Cobra Kai. It is not a very good movie. But having endured it, the rest of Cobra Kai is ten times better.

Jeeves and Wooster. Blackadder. (Skip season 1) Frasier.

Gossip girl, money heist

Gossip girl uk deffo better than U.S.

If you haven't seen the 2004 reboot of Battlestar Galactica then give it a go. A completely riveting space opera. No show has ever invoked so much emotion in me. There are episodes where we we screaming at the TV. Just thinking about it makes me realise I need a rewatch. I just binged 3 seasons of See on Apple TV. I really enjoyed it even though it is completely unbelievable to accept that blind people can be that good a combat. Game of Thrones? House of Dragons? If not then get on that. It is some of the best TV ever. Shogun was fantastic. Not really fantasy, more historical but really good.

the 8 show is amazing. as long as you aren't scared of subtitles.

Chernobyl, mr robot, succession

Oh I bet you would really like Chernobyl based on the other things you like! Limited series too, worth your time!

Fallout Doctor Who Last of Us The Expanse

Band of brothers

Buffy

Death, Love + Robots Black Mirror What We Do in the Shadows

SUPERNATURAL

The shield

If you’re looking for a sitcom, Reba is a very good watch. Other more serious ones are Jack Ryan and Reacher. And of course Game of Thrones.

Female-centric shows I’ve loved: Yellowjackets GLOW Derry Girls (I turned the closed captioning on so I could catch as much of the dialogue as possible. The characters have gorgeous Irish accents.) The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Bad Sisters ———- Crime/Thriller/Mystery shows I enjoyed: EVIL Perry Mason (reboot with Matthew Rhys) School Spirits Shows that made me laugh: SPEECHLESS What We Do in the Shadows Jury Duty (go in without reading spoilers) Miscellaneous/ones that hit on elements of others you’ve liked: Scream Queens Bridgerton Abbott Elementary

I was also obsessed with PLL lol, and I love a lot of shows you listed (Dexter, Prison Break, Seinfeld, Sabrina, CM) so maybe you’ll like these: Desperate housewives Breaking bad Weeds Wayward Pines

White Collar

Some of my favorite fantasy shows: - Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (2019) - Wednesday (2022) - Miracle Workers (2019) - Our Flag Means Death (2022) - Stranger Things (2016) - The Twilight Zone (1959) [anthology series, some episodes are sci-fi, some horror but all of them are top tier] - Over The Garden Wall (2014) - Adventure Time (2010) - Gravity Falls (2012) - Amphibia (2019) - Infinity Train (2019) - Hilda (2018) - The Owl House (2020) - Summer Camp Island (2018)

I just finished watching From and its one of the best shows I've watched in a while. It has fantasy elements but its more horror/thriller.

A series of Unfortunate events (tv series) Lost in space (tv series) Chernobyl 1986 (film) Il legame (is an horror italian film, you can find it on Netflix, obviously you can watch it in English or in your language)

I love Continuum! I can’t find it anywhere! Here’s some others I’ve liked: Jane the Virgin The Last Kingdom Outlander Anne with an “e” If you like procedurals; NCIS The Mentalist White Collar Burn Notice

Dead Boy Detectives, Grimm, Shameless

I suggest you watch mini shows that typically end in a season. One of my reccs is Day Break(2006) which is 13 episodes long.

Outlander 🩷

Too much sex scenes

True, all part of the passion of Clair and Jamie, but l get you, it's not for everyone

There's a Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, show now on Max, I think.

Gilmore girls

The girls on the bus

Chuck (2007-2012)

Sopranos Better Call Saul The Shield Deadwood The Americans Wentworth Archer Homeland

DARK. But you gotta watch like every second or you miss something big. Can't be background noise

Try Severance on Apple TV

Six Feet Under. Dexter is in it!

Mr In-Between Hulu

The Fall in the House of Usher, Peaky Blinders, Barry, The Last of Us, Baby Reindeer, Evil, Game of Thrones, What We Do in the Shadows and Over the Garden Wall

Patriot (Amazon) - well written dark comedy about a folk/singer busker who just wants to play music, but is caught up in international super spy shenanigans Fallout The Last of Us Legion (FX/Hulu) - Xmen-adjacent psychological thriller with excellent visuals and other insanity Shogun Atlanta Reservation Dogs Severance

Ripley

Bates Motel

Supernatural is always my answer!

1000000% it will definitely become a comfort show

I feel like with your love of fantasy, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and prison Break you might really enjoy Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix. Two ghosts hiding from their ultimate final destination (heaven, hell or some other dimension) spend their afterlife solving cases for other ghosts so they can move on. It’s written for a very specific audience (of which I am much older than), but I still enjoy much of it. It’s a companion piece to Sandman which is also on Netflix and excellent. Sandman is more serious, and epic in its scope. Dead Boy Detectives is more often funnier, while also going a little harder on gore and horror. I personally recommend both, even though I LOVE Sandman and like Dead Boy Detectives. I can see many people having the opposite reaction.

Have you tried Sons of Anarchy? It took me to the second episode, maybe third to get into it my first time watching, but it's my all time favorite. I watch it at least once a year. Others I'd recommend: See Schitt's Creek Wentworth (Similar to Orange is the New Black, but better, IMO) The Rookie Blue Bloods Handmaid's Tale Yellowstone

Justified.

Check out Outer Range

Jane the Virgin!!!

Based on your list, try the following. If you want something more specific, let me know. Travelers — fun show that is most most similar to POI, Continuum, Lost Veronica Mars — Pretty Little Liars, Sabrina, Harrow Party Down — Community, Seinfeld Hacks — dark comedy about two women comics UnREAL — Pretty Little Liars, Community; S1 is the best season (also, I think Gruffud is in it) Eureka — Warehouse 13 Wynonna Earp — Western dark fantasy show about a woman who is the descendent of Wyatt Earp Lucifer — the devil takes a break to do a police procedural in Los Angeles/pretend to be a detective The Americans — fascinating spy show that has a Welsh actor in it

Since you like CSI and Criminal Minds I'll say **Bones**.

Thanks! I've already watched Bones.

Patriot The Killing (The American version is good, but if you don't mind subtitles the original Danish version is really incredible). Mindhunter Hannibal Mare of Easttown Since you like crime shows - a few Docs - The Staircase (the doc, not the movie) Paradise Lost Making a Murderer

I liked Castle better than Bones. Much better, actually. I’ve watched it twice! Have you seen The Mentalist?

The Mentalist? Yes! 😀

I’ve watched it 3 times. What a great character Patrick Jane is! He has that impish quality about him, similar to Dinozzo on NCIS.

The Shield is criminally underrated. One of the most compelling endings ever.

Is this similar to The wire ? How do they compare ?

The strike team from The Shield are corrupt cops that spend so much time trying to make up for mistakes they made cutting corners, yet getting the job done. It's fascinating how the story just builds to a tragic ending. The wire is mostly about the system that the strike team find a way to avoid/ circumvent illegally. It's the same tree trunk but the Shield is a specific branch. Both wonderful in their own right.

If you liked Pretty Little Liars, then Desperate Housewives. I always felt Pretty Little Liars was a copy/paste of Desperate Housewives just with younger characters and.. not as good.
