    Mr. Robot was so freaking good! Once I realized that Elliot is controlling what I was seeing it blew my mind.

    Carnivale. It ended on a cliff hanger but IMHO, its an absolutely fantastic 3 seasons.

    Space ghost coast to coast: surreal talk show and interview comedy reusing old cartoon animation. A more modern equivalent would probably be Smiling Friends.

    Courage the cowardly dog: PG rated horror, lots of references and original stuff, suspense and humor

    Cowboy Bebop: anime, good sci-fi amazing music

    All the star treks: fully automated gay space communism and the alien and robot crisises they encounter. Futurama, The Orville for more comedic/modern equivalents. Cue epic fanfare intro music.

    Psych & Monk: comfort sitcom meets murder mystery early 2000s style, updated Matlock/Columbo/murder she wrote.

    Most David Attenborough nature docs

    The twilight zone original and reboot, eerie sci-fi standalone stories

    Legion: professor X’s son is the most powerful mutant alive (pre Franklin Richards) and slowly losing his mind. Reminds me a bit of The Prisoner.

    Cosmos original and reboot, I like the style of the original but the updated science in the new one is obviously more informative. For a taste try just the powers of 10 video.

    Ordered by quality (best on top)

    • Sopranos (…is the absolute GOAT)
    • The Wire
    • Band of Broters
    • Generation Kill
    • Bron (The Bridge - the original Swedish version)
    • Narcos and Narcos Mexico
    • Sense8
    • Mr. Robot

    Then there are some more good ones from recent times:

    • Down Cemetery Road was not bad
    • Slow Horses is close to making it to my all time Top X list
    • SAS Rogue Heroes is a good watch too
    • Masters of the Air is worth it for the visuals
    • Sherlock is my wife’s favourite
    • Undercover and Ferry, 2 Dutch series are very good and vibey
    • The Borgias was good, shame they had to finish it halfway

    There, this should give you a considerable backlog.
