What currently ongoing series, if they maintain their current quality level - have a chance to be all time greats? (piefed.social)

Only show with any heart left is Bobs Burgers.

They actually have LGBTQ+ representation and the one guy linked to Jan 6 was fired and locked up.

Everything else has been gentrified and whitewashed into corporate mediocrity.

    Only current ongoing series. Everything else has been cancelled or finished.

    Idk if that's a fair reflection of Andor (just finished), or Severance, or Fallout, or Shogun.

    Haven’t had any interest in Severance or Shogun so I haven’t seen them. I’ll watch them if they get proper endings

    Everything else is just milking existing IPs.

    Andor's obviously a part of Star Wars, but it's very different to most Star Shows and was pretty cutting (so to speak).

    If you mean in terms of stuff made purely for TV: Dark Matter (2024), For All Mankind, The Pitt, Severance, Shogun (as mentioned). You could add Slow Horses, that's apparently based on a book - but a lot of TV shows have always been based on some novel or comic.

    Just to state the obvious: Andor does have an ending. A "proper" one in that it was intentionally written. It's also ultimately split thanks to it being about a Rogue One character that dies in that movie, but... I think they did a better job than Better Call Saul at actually ending the show. As much as I'd love to watch more clear up until Rogue One starts, they still served their narrative well.

    Andor and Fallout are IP milking and I don’t give a shit about watching them.

    I agree fully about Fallout, but Andor, ironically given all the other SW milk jobs, isn't a milk job. It does an OK job standing on its own. If you changed the SW elements to not-SW, it'd still work great, yet it still fits nicely in the universe.

    While I fully understand the sentiment, it might be worth pushing past the ick of the Disney production logo. At least if you have any real care for SW.

    If its flavor of science-FICTION is not your jam then, well, I'm sure it can sit nicely on your pile of great things to never check out. lol Heck, I have a massive pile of supposedly great games and other media that I do want to engage with sitting in the same proverbial pile of stuff I'll never get to. lol
