Silo. It’s so fucking good. So are the books.
Older than you are and worth looking at. [available on Youtube]
The Prisoner. Imagine if Ian Fleming and Franz Kafka got together to do a TV show. A government official resigns and is immediately kidnapped. He wakes up in The Village; a lovely little place with nice views, great food, plenty of fun things to do, and no possible escape.
I, Claudius. A very young Patrick Stewart is the least reason to watch this reenactment of the first five Roman emperors.
Connections. Non-fiction. Wonderfully entertaining and informative. The creator’s premise is that scientific progress is almost never straight forward. Coffee houses open in London = coffee houses become popular places to do business = coffee house customers join together to invest in ships to the New World = the new ‘companies’ begin looking for ways to make their ships safer = they start to invest in making pine tar to protect the ships = add two hundred years and you have insurance companies and the chemical industry

No Good Deed is really good, although it moves pretty slow.
I just finished Only Murders in the Building. I love it. Its a whodunit with Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. The whole cast always feels to me like they’re always having a lot of fun!
Here’s a list of some of the good ones I have seen:
Severance is the best show of the 2020s IMHO.
Rewatching it now!
Columbo
I started watching Scavengers Reign recently on a suggestion from a friend. I normally don’t go for animated shows, but this one is really enjoyable for me. Calm & explorative.
Something I haven’t seen mentioned is Ghosts. Recently got caught up on it and it’s definitely a fun watch!
Which one? Both are good but UK is the best.
I’ve only seen the US version so far, but will probably watch the UK version too!
I’ve been enjoying Skeleton Crew as it releases.
Marvelous Miss Maisle is solid from om beginning to end. Not a minute, scene or note is wasted. The writers know how to pack every scene with as much energy and storytelling as possible. Just perfect.
I’m watching the dune show, it’s not great.
I’m also watching creature commandos which is pretty good if you don’t mind animation.
DanDaDan on Netflix is bonkers.
The Expanse. I forgot how good the earlier seasons were, and looking forward to seeing the newer stuff for the first time.
