From on MGM+ is absolutely fantastic. I love the mystery, the horror, and everything else about it. I am excited to see where it goes. I also absolutely love Foundation on Apple TV+, amazing CGI and fantastic world (or universe) building.

Fabulous show. Always frustrated me how much bigger The IT Crowd was than BB.

Hands down it has to be Fringe, amazing cast, great premise and manages to transition from monster of the week - a la X Files - to a fully immersive story that is action packed and tugs at your heartstrings. I’m not sure what platform it’s available on these days, but I’m sure you can sail the high seas if need be.

Oh, and it’s 5 seasons that actually has an ending, unlike many shows on streaming these days!

I really enjoyed “Travellers” a 3 season showcase/Netflix time travel show where time travellers possess the bodies of people right before they are going to die and try to stop the apocalypse.

It has a real ending, Season 3 ends in away that would make if difficult (but not impossible) to continue the show.

but netflix does and that’s what i’m referring to; i’ve been avoiding starting any netflix shows because of it.

thanks for sharing; now that i know it has an ending i’ll finish watch it.

Lexx - The Dark Zone.

Pure Canadian-German Madness with a really great cast and the wildest stories ever. And what other show has a certified anti hero as starship captain?

I didn’t know this had a show, I found a random VHS of The Lexx movie at a thrift store and watched that though, odd movie, but I keep watching it. I guess I need to download the show now!

First thing that popped into my mind: Galavant. It’s a prime time network fantasy comedy from a writer of Cars and Tangled, teamed up with the composer from Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.

It’s like if The Princess Bride was two seasons of musical television with songs from the golden 90’s era of Disney. In a just world, it’d have six seasons and a movie.

Oh Galavant, Galavant

It’s the only show where I’ve sat down with multiple people and forced them to watch.

So far it was all success, and everyone loved it. I’ve seen the whole show more times than anything else, and the soundtrack is coming back to my music rotation from time to time.

It’s just a superb production, with great sets, amazing actors, and absolutely bonkers soundtrack.
