Succession, perhaps the best script I’ve ever experienced
My wife has gotten into watching Green Acres. Omg the writing is so sharp, just one joke after another. The characters do get repetitive but that is the way with all sitcoms.
The Mary Tyler Moore show is very rewatchable. The writing and characters are so well done. Ted Knight and Betty White are brilliant.
I’m gonna download Green acres rn, thx.
Halt and Catch Fire.
Set in the 80s, it’s about a company in Texas trying to build a computer to rival IBM. Er, that’s how it starts. I liked it so much, I bought it.
A lot of my picks are already mentioned so I’ll pick an odd one:
Air crash investigator (called Mayday in NA). It’s dramatizations of the reports from air crashes, organized like a murder mystery. Surprisingly compelling.
I’ve never been nervous about flying but this show really underlined how safe flying is, it’s actually kinda crazy how thorough the reports are and how often they lead to rule changes. I wish the same institutional dedication to safety was practised in other industries (especially cars).
Episodes that take place in the 80s have you face palming at how stupid the mistakes are, more modern episodes are almost always a combination of many many different small low chance events and minor mistakes from the pilot piling up. I usually skip the terrorist episodes though.
Yes! I binge watched Mayday. Very well done documentary with only a minimum of dramatization, you do get some “Get this into the lab!” type acting and shoop shoop edits but not much. Looking into the events they are good about getting like 90% of the info. They have the actors reading straight from the CVR records. It really does point out how the vast majority of accidents require a lot of star all lining up. It also points out how important thorough maintenance is. You’ve got things failing in ways you’d never expect if they had only, say, put some grease on a single screw. The really frustrating ones are where the crew ignore their instruments thinking they (the pilot) must be right or the crew sit and watch the pilot fuck up without intervening. The cash in Portland OR where the pilot obsessed over a landing gear light and ignored that they were running out of fuel is a case in point.
The most disturbing ones are where a pilot likely suicided and took all the innocent people with him or someone attacked the crew. Insanely selfish a-holes.
After watching all of the episodes, some repeatedly, I think I could assist a crew in a crisis now.

I love Vox Machina. Give it three episodes though, it needs the Briarwood ark to really get going.

I just watched the pilot episode of “Servant” and it looks promising. M. Night Shyamalan.
What we do in the shadows. The show is based off the Taika Waititi/Jermaine Clement film of the same name. And is also written by Jermaine Clement
It’s a comedy/mocumentary about a group of vampires. The characters are really well written and it straddles the line between the banality of everyday life as a vampire, and obviously the weird supernatural aspects of vampires. It recently aired it’s final episode so you can binge it now and get through the whole thing.
If you like the office/community/parks and rec/I.T. Crowd type of stuff I think you’ll really like it
Ooh thank you for reminding me it has finished its run. Watched the first two seasons but kinda dropped off while waiting for S3.

You’re dead, and out of this world.If you like what you we in the shadows, to might also enjoy “our flag means death”.
Created by and starring Waititi. Based on the true story of the gentleman pirate.
The Expanse. I forgot how good the earlier seasons were, and looking forward to seeing the newer stuff for the first time.
