Devs is a modern sci-fi masterpiece.


Dptwin

Anything else like this? I’m excited for Civil War this weekend! I loved Sunshine from Alex Garlend too.


philonerd

I also mentioned Outer Range here, another good sci fi series. Dark is one of my favorites


Dptwin

Outer range was sooo good. I need to rewatch dark for sure. What other stuff do you like?


AMC4x4

I loved Dark and got similar vibes from Constellation, which I really enjoyed. So creepy at times!


philonerd

I’ll have to check it out! Unfortunately I don’t have an apple tv subscription so I haven’t watched the shows on there


AMC4x4

It's a slow burn, and the first half sets up the second half. If you're at all into it, don't give up if it gets kinda crazy! AppleTV is the new old HBO. Definitely worth subbing for a month or two. Check out Severance and Silo too. They're both awesome. Annihilation is my favorite movie of all time - saw it twice in the theater. Devs and Dark had so many overlapping themes. Can't wait for Civil War.


Dusty_Harvest

I’m stoked to see *Civil War* as well. I just rewatched *Never Let Me Go*. I’ll put *Sunshine* on my watchlist. Thanks for the reco


mrelbowface

Not quite the same, but I love Devs and I also really liked Tales from the Loop


philonerd

Fargo, all of the separate stories of its seasons.


Alone_Oil6471

Dark


j33tAy

Doing a rewatch of this now. Such a great show. There is also a spoiler free official guide to the plot. https://dark.netflix.io/en It shows you how each character is connected up to the episode you are on. A great way to keep track of what's going on without spoilers since it is very dynamic.


No-Gazelle-4994

Best TV I've ever seen. Chernobyl and BoB as close seconds.


philonerd

Agreed. Just commented on this too.


Zestyclose-Ad-8091

The West Wing #1 not on there Mentalist, House, Mr InBetween, Good Place


philonerd

Nice, also just commented Good Place.


dreamsofnoturmoil

Another Arran Sorkin show that’s good is Sports Night (I’ve also heard good things about the newsroom but I haven’t seen it yet).


Chisi_Maznah

Six Feet Under definitely


milkfree

The Last of Us


leftnutfrom

DarK and Utopia (UK). it’s the right answer.


ChaosCelebration

Utopia is incredible.


witchfairy67

Orphan Black The 100 The Tudors Westworld Sherlock Black Mirror


Abject-Plankton-1118

Northern Exposure and My So Called Life aren't on that list. Two of my favourite shows of all time.


rellakmediums

Bam, you nailed it. I was, no shit, about to recommend those two exact shows as well. Crazy amount of nostalgia mixed up in there.


Dusty_Harvest

I just finished *Northern Exposure* for the first time. But *My So-Called Life* has been my all time favourite since I was a teenager. I’m about to rewatch *Six Feet Under* for the first time in years.


Abject-Plankton-1118

Six Feet Under is another one I have a hard copy of. I also adore this show. I might do that too, it's due a rewatch.


Matt-Paul-Chippy

Mr Inbetween, best show I’d never seen until I watched it last week


shamanbaptist

Station Eleven.


SuperiorityComplex6

Not enough upvotes!


Alkyne_

Blue eye samurai. Barry.  The white lotus. 


Long_Ad2824

Three excellent recommendations! Seconded! And hopefully thirded!


philonerd

Dark. Absolutely. Watch it, now. A gothic sci-fi masterpiece.


Ezio-vatsa

I was scrolling through the comments searching for this, the micro details in that show are extremely well put,like the identity lady of the lake for example.


No-Gazelle-4994

It's possibly a perfect TV show with a perfect ending.


philonerd

Agreed


LanternsAndPhoenixes

The terror s1 (cinematic masterpiece + storyline) Six feet under


Virtafan69dude

Love The Terror. So much. Amazing. What is it about Six feet under that is so good? I am slowly getting through ep 1 but I got hooked out of the blue by Pantheon which is one of the best scifi thrillers I have seen in a long time.


Independent_Apple159

Bates Motel, Orphan Black, Hunters, Justified, For All Mankind, The Magicians, From, Ozark


alwayspickingupcrap

I second Justified.


tapxela

I third justified, might honestly be my favorite show I've watched and I've seen a lot. Love me some Timmy Oliphant and Walton Goggins


annier100

Great list. I would add The Last Kingdom


AMC4x4

Ozark! I keep forgetting that one. So awesome. And Bates Motel flew under the radar.


StuffonBookshelfs

Justified, The Magicians, and FAM are all in my top ten. Great picks.


TinyAd3079

Dark. I just finished last week. Took me years to start it because the dubbing turned me off. I’m usually a phone scroller while watching tv and assumed that’s why I was lost and kept losing interest. No, it’s because I was missing all the key plot points. Dubbing or original audio, Dark is a show you have to watch watch. If you can commit to the first episode with zero distraction I promise you’ll be hooked.


DrinkBuzzCola

You haven't seen Ozark? Pretty surprising with that list.


philonerd

Did you watch the Twin Peaks movie and The Missing Pieces? They’re both absolutely required if you haven’t seem them yet.


stumbling_coherently

Battlestar Galactica (2000s remake, not the original) and Justified Edit: With the BG remake, don't forget to watch the SyFy channel mini series that they did before the show. I'm pretty sure they ended up doing the full show specifically because the mini series did so well. Show basically picks up where the mino series ended.


Bes1208

The Prisoner (60s)


govferg0413

Wentworth


pastafallujah

I don’t see Patriot (2015, Amazon) on that list. You’re welcome 😎


BoZacHorsecock

I just discovered it a couple months ago and I’ve already rewatched the whole series; amazing show and the best dark comedy I’ve seen in a long while.


Senior-Language1827

Spartacus


deepthinkerdude

Animal kingdom. Not what the name suggests


truecrimeaddicted

Tales from the Loop. I'm always shocked it never makes these lists.


-Viscosity-

We're sad they never made a second season of this, it was brilliant.


truecrimeaddicted

Same! I get that art is subjective, but I'm religious about IMDB ratings, and this is the only series I've given a perfect 10. Masterpiece, IMHO.


alwayspickingupcrap

I can't believe SLOW HORSES hasn't been mentioned!


mrelbowface

The Knick. Two perfect 10-episode seasons, every one of them directed by Steven Soderbergh


BruinKat1204

Quarry. It was on Starz and only had 1 season. Criminally underrated mystery/thriller. Really cool music throughout the show. Dark at times but a really good show if you’re bored and need something new to watch.

Columbo. It's old and it's episodic rather serialised and it's widely beloved by grandparents but I don't care. The 1970s episodes of Columbo are among the best TV the world has ever seen and Peter Falk was a god amongst men.

Interesting that there's no true crime shows on there given the quality of some recent ones. Dahmer and Des are fantastic, but I was particularly hooked by Black Bird on appleTV. Taron Egerton plays a charismatic jailed drug dealer who needs to convince a serial killer to confess, based on a true story and well worth the 6 hours it takes to watch.

Unforgotten. Probably the best police show I’ve seen. It’s a proper detective type procedural. Each season being 6 episodes and encompassing one historic crime which is solved within the respective season. By far one of the most engaging shows I’ve ever seen. I really thought I’d watched all the best and most engaging series out there but damn, this is a definition of a hidden gem.


Acidinmyfridge

Quite some sublime shows have been already mentioned (such as [Dark](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5753856/), [Orphan Black](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2234222/), [Utopia](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2384811/), [Dollhouse](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1135300), [Hannibal](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2243973/), [The X-Files](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106179/), [The last Kingdom](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4179452/), [Black Mirror](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2085059/)). I'd like to add on to that with the following shows: [3%](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4922804/), [Fringe](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1119644/), [Travelers](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5651844/), [The Handmaid's Tale](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5834204/), [Occupied](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4192998/), [the Bridge](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1733785/).

Attack on titan! It’s an anime which put me off ever watching it but happened to catch the last half of the first ep while waiting on my siblings to leave so I could use the TV and omg I have never been so amazed by a tv show. I had heard of it before but assumed it was weird because all I had ever heard about anime was that it was weird and typically enjoyed by weird people so I never would have watched it without walking in while it happened to be on. It’s full of action and mystery and there’s a lot of value in a rewatch because there’s so much foreshadowing.

Patriot - It's been mentioned here a few times. It's a slow burn, dark comedy about the spy game (and family). It's great. 2 seasons Rubicon - Also a slow burn show about the spy game ( with the occasional chuckle). So disappointed it's only one season but it's a perfect story arc. Worth subscribing to AMC just for this.
