I've been rewatching my favorites (Mr. Robot, Andor, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) and I'm curious: What is your favorite show of all time? What makes that your favorite?

  • The Simpsons 2-9
  • It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
  • Curb Your Enthusiasm

All because of their fantastic comedy writing: nuanced, layered jokes, with satisfying stories, characters and plots which leads to endless rewatchability.

  • Community
  • Atlanta

For being weird experimental extremely well written comedies. Rick and Morty's early seasons might make it on this list but I haven't gone back in a while.

  • Breaking Bad
  • The Expanse

For being long serious satisfying dramas with great characters and writing.

  • Dark

Get a special shout-out for being one of the only mystery box shows I've ever seen that sticks the landing.

  • Arrested Development 1-3
  • Parks and Rec
  • 30 Rock
  • The Office

All get shout outs for being great comedies, if not quite at the tier of the above.

    Since all of these are also my favourites, you may want to try Fleabag for a comedy, and the Wire, Fargo, True Detective and Severance for drama. Fargo might be my favourite series in general, Fargo and the Simpsons, if I could pick two.

    I agree with almost all those choices but I never finished any of those series so didn't put them on.

    Severance is the only one on there I disagree with. They may stick the landing, but imho I highly suspect they've fully jumped the shark and are in the "oh fuck, we didn't actually plan for it to go on this long" part of a mystery box. I suspect it will just waste time for like another 2-3 seasons then suddenly end while not answering half the questions from the early seasons ... like virtually all of mystery boxes that aren't Dark do.

    Do you even read comments from people who post?

    This guy is talking about MC dicks... Various fast foods. If you don't realize this guy is either in marketing or is just a bot that markets... That's on you.

    Atlanta is so good. There's a Canadian show called Late Bloomer that for some reason gives me similar vibes. It's not really similar other than it being a darkish comedy about a troubled artist, but just something about the writing hits the same way.

    Look at this side show mel... the first season of The Simpsons was absolutely the best season of The Simpsons.

    (Bob was replaced my mel. Bob is cool. Mel is just a tool.)
