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?
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
It’s gross, it’s wrong, it’s mean, it’s hilarious.
Twin Peaks | The Simpsons (s1 - 10) | Star Trek (all)
- Star Trek TNG and DS9
- Battlestar Galactica
- Breaking bad
- The expanse

Mecha Shiva! Mecha Shiva!
Like others my favorites change a lot, but having just rewatched Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood… Dude what an awesome show. Always cry at least 5 times watching it. For sure deserving of a fixed spot on any top 10s.
And one I haven’t seen anyone mention: Andor. The best Star Wars anything ever.
I was gonna say Firefly. “Objects in Space” is amazing.
But it’s Ted Lasso, since at least once in every episode it gives me some happy or sad feels and I think we all need to feel the feels.
Better call Saul. It was the show breaking bad tried to be.
all 3 stargate series. oldtrek mostly, nutrek is just not even close, other than prodigy and lower decks, snw i find its still not good considering what other people are saying. use a different showrunner.
maybe spn although its through comprehensive videos of the seasons which fans graciously posted on youtube, mostly s1-5. inuyasha, not yashime or whatever it is, because fans made it weird, by making it a grooming situation rin+ sesshomaru. blue gender, Fullmetal alchemist, the og series. the new one is somewhat all over place. pre-disney takeover of marvel shows. gifted, runaways, AOS.
grimm might be up someones alley, it has a spn spin to it, and it ended as it should, and not dragged on forever like with supernatural.
a short series, DAMAGES, with glenn close, if you ignore the network changes that included sex scences for some reason.
medical drama: House, ER just not the last few seasons, which one of the actors became the showrunner of pitt. not any of those new ones with nobody actors i keep seeing on youtube.
bio shows, like monsters inside me.
netflix original: CASTLEVANIa, the first series one. the 2nd one is currently in limbo, as netflix sees which shows to cancel.
sandman and blood of zeus if they hadnt rushed to cancelled these series.
Ones that I deeply love to the core but wouldn’t consider comfort TV:
- Sense8
- Bojack Horseman
- Fleabag (and I will probably never watch it again tbh)
- Atlanta
- Heated Rivalry
Comfort shows:
- Heated Rivalry (ya twice)
- Law & Order: SVU (yes I know it’s copaganda but I will die for Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler and you can pry this show from my cold dead fictional-cop-loving hands)
- Red Dwarf
- Doctor Who (the RTD era)
- Dinosaurs (the criminally underrated puppet one from the 1990s that every adult needs to rewatch immediately)
Honourable mentions for me have mostly been mentioned by other commenters but Schitt’s Creek, Arrested Development, The Good Place. And one I haven’t seen in this thread yet, Resident Alien!
Quantum Leap is the gold standard for me.
Runners up: Night Court, Better Call Saul, Bojack Horseman, and The Twilight Zone. Those are all shows I have rewatched multiple times.
I love Bojack so much but I know myself well enough to know that when I start a rewatch it’s time to schedule an appointment with my counsellor.
I earned these neurosis and I’m keepin’ them.
Scrubs and Hogans Heros
I think Trailer Park Boys up to the end of the Swayze Express arc
Twin Peaks. It’s one of the most original shows I’ve seen, and I think it manages to strike a perfect balance between mystery, drama, comedy, and general quirkiness. The third season in particular is a goddamn masterpiece imo. Also Dale Cooper has to be one of my all time favorite characters. It’s definitely not everyone’s cup of coffee though
The Return is thoroughly good. 💯
Doctor Who.
There will probably be a lot of recommendations for Breaking Bad, The Wire, The Sopranos, etc., and they’re all great.
One that tends to fly under the radar is The Americans, about a family of Soviet spies under deep cover in suburban DC. A top FBI counter-espionage agent moves in across the street, and they become close friends.
Great writing, acting, everything. One of the very best finales I’ve ever seen.
