4400, but it was a wierd hybrid of superpower humans and dystopian future+ time travelling of mankind, basically in the future the wealthy/aristocratic were living in prisitne cities while everything was a version madmax and judge dredd future. threshold was another one. the "rich people" found out about the scientist going back in tiem to prevent this future, so they sent thier own agents to the past to stop it.

Patriot. On Amazon prime. Dark comedy. CIA and government ineptitude.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Honestly, great show. I don't know what I expected, but it was so much better.

  • Odyssey 5 (Only lasted a season, but damn...)

  • Boardwalk Empire (for some reason the least talked about and most forgotten HBO show)

  • Into the Badlands (Deserved a longer life. Great martial arts action in a post-apocalypse)

  • First Wave (Nostrodamus, Conspiracy theories and the first wave of an secret Alien invasion)

  • Seven Days (The younger lapaglia brother jumps back in time 7 days to prevent various threats)

  • Sense8 (strangers from all over the world find themselves linked mentally for some reason)

Space above and beyond died too young. It was such an awesome scifi show with some really mind blowing good episodes

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Oh man, Ask a Ninja just unlocked a core memory that I had buried. What a perfect example of early Internet comedy.

Flash Foward was an interesting series, sadly it end on a major cliffhanger and was never continued.

The Patriot on amazon is one of my favourite tv shows of all time. Tragically cancelled but each episode is outstanding. Nobody's seen it!

  • Garth Marenghi's Dark Place
  • The Armando Iannucci Shows
  • The Adam & Joe Show

I see you, and raise you:

  • Snuffbox
  • Flowers
[–] el_bhm@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Blood. Blood. BLOOD. Blood.

Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place

Now that’s an obscure gem and suddenly I want to hear that 80s synth song from Matt Berry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO-ZGP68-3w

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Otherworld.

Danger 5. Greatest Australian comedy of all time. https://youtu.be/0Z09bNgSeMI

This was hilarious. Every episode final ending somewhat the same way 👌

The Leftovers - 2% of the worlds population just vanishes. Enough to freak people out but not cause the complete collapse of civilization.

The Endgame - High class criminal commits crimes by way of getting herself arrested. There's only 1 season. Ignore the last ~10 minutes of the last episode and the story wraps up fine.

Counterpart - Mid-level bureaucrat finds out there's a doorway to a parallel dimension with whom the world's been in a secret cold war

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Corner Gas, brilliant comedy about a tiny Saskatchewan town set around a gas station that is connected to a diner and the oddball people that live there.

You'll come for the quaint setting, stay for the Jackass screaming Oscar.

Mr Inbetween

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Because I've never met anyone else who ever watched it and I haven't been able to pirate it:

Special Unit 2

An action/comedy police procedural about a unit of the Chicago PD that manages cryptids (called "Links" in the show). A little bit like a terrestrial MIB.

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (4 children)

If you like Severence, you really need to see Dollhouse. Only 2 seasons, complete story. Slow start, but it doesn't go where you expect, it's a complete story, and Dichen Lachman (Gemma Scout) plays basically the same role.
