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?

    I always struggle to name one best thing at anything. Best movie? IDK, plenty of them are great, can’t say which is the best. Favourite colour? Depends on context. Best car? Different each week, as my mood swings. But if I had to pick one tv show and crown it the best, it would be:

    Red Dwarf

    Hands down the most viewed thing for me. That absurd British humor just clicks with me, just as Monty Python or Black Adder or Black Books did. I used to watch it to fall asleep for years, especially at the college. It was many years ago but I still remember a lot of replicas word by word.

      Red Dwarf is such good comfort TV. I don’t even generally like British humour but that show just fills me with warmth. It’s probably mostly the Cat for me if we’re being honest, but it is just a good show.

      If you haven’t seen it, look up the German sci-fi comedy show Ijon Tichy: Raumpilot. There’s a fan translation of the first season and official English subtitles for the second season. It’s got a really good off-the-wall energy, and I don’t think it’s well enough known outside Germany.

      I’m the same. Red Dwarf is the only favorite thing I really have. I still manage a watch nearly everyday and have seen it through so many times I’ve lost count.
