Going on an extended trip for a bit. I want to know what to stock up on.
Also wondering what all of you are watching.

Surprised I’m the first one to suggest Peep Show
Dept Q (netflix?) was really good. A bit of mystery detective. A bit of British humor. Interesting characters. Was excellent.
Scrubs
I scrolled right to the bottom and not one of ya mentioned ‘freaks and geeks’…
It is an absurdly good 80s time piece and if you can’t recognise at least half of the actors from their ongoing careers… Then good luck to ya!

I can’t belive nobody has recommended The Good Place yet. Only 53 episodes, just about 20 hours total, and an amazing series. You can watch the whole thing on a long enough trip and it’s an amazing ride. Do yourself a favour and don’t read up on it just go along for the ride.
Breaking Bad’, Better Call Saul, Pluribus
Also if you’re going to watch Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, while not a TV show, the El Camino film is worth watching as well. It’s a nice Breaking Bad epilogue that we didn’t need, but is well done and worth your time.
Skip breaking bad imo, but better call Saul is one of the best shows out there
Eh, breaking bad’ is an extremely well made show. You might like it or not, but qualitatively, it’s one of the best shows out there
Plus, having watched Breaking Bad makes all the references/shoutouts in BCS even better.
I’m also not sure how you watch Better Call Saul without having seen Breaking Bad. It’s like watching Wicked having never seen The Wizard of Oz. Sure, you can do it, but a number of scenes, especially in the final season, don’t really make sense of you don’t know Saul’s story from Breaking Bad.
The Wire
The different voices singing the same song for each season…👌
Sense8
It’s made by the same sisters who directed The Matrix and it’s amazing. Just kinda weird wrap-up.
Netflix cancelled the show, and after fan backlash, they ended up greenlighting a finale. While the finale was pretty abrupt, it was better than nothing.
Andor.
This. If I had to name 1 show that everyone should watch, it would be this.
Stargate SG1 - It’s like Star Trek with machineguns.
FarScape - It’s like Star Trek but the main cast are fugitives, there’s lots of muppets, and watching it makes you feel like you’re on drugs.
The Righteous Gemstones - Danny McBride made comedy farce about a horrible, vain, and stupid megachurch family.
Batman Beyond - Cyberpunk batman with an unparalleled intro sequence.
Jericho - Post apocalyptic show with a conspiracy mystery bent and heavy GWB GWOT flavor.
Kings - A sort of adaption of the story of King David in a modern setting.
I Ike Righteous Gemstones, but it’s A LOT of Danny McBride. Aside from John Goodman, every actor is channeling Danny McBride through their line delivery and movement. It’s like Danny McBride directed them by saying “Do it like THIS, exactly like this. Mimic my every inflection.”
Yes.
Drama - The Wire
Comedy - Arrested Development
Mystery - Twin PeaksThose should keep you going a while 😁
Perhaps a bit out of left field: Heated Rivalry, a Canadian romance about gay, closeted hockey players. I usually don’t care about that genre at all but started watching the show on a whim after seeing much hype online. It’s really good—acting, dialog, cinematography, sound design, … Just be aware that the sex scenes are quite explicit—not porn but up there in what can be shown on TV (well done though and always relevant for the story).
