Only seen Mr. Robot, Watchmen and Parks and Rec, but they're all freaking great.

Parks and Rec is one of the greatest shows ever.
Absolutely criminal that Poehler never got an Emmy for it.

Out of all those, I would definitely watch Parks and Recs first.

Watchmen is a flawless work, but it does necessitate you having either read the graphic novel or, at least, seen the Snyder film with the knowledge that he changed the ending of the novel.
The Knick is the best thing Soderbergh has ever done and ever will do. Perfection from start to finish.

Anne with an EMr. Robot Watchmen PsychParks and Recreation The Knick
Halt and Catch Fire And what should I watch first? Haven't seen the crossed-out items. I did watch a few episodes of The Knick but that was forever ago and the only thing I remember about it is that the surgery scenes were soo hard to watch. I want to get back into it though. Mr. Robot is brilliant and thrilling and now that it's over I can say it's easily one of the best and most consistent shows of the 2010s. Performances are terrific and the seasons all feel self-contained and exciting in their own right but still building to something greater. Absolutely a must-see. Watchmen was pretty good. Really enjoyed the worldbuilding but some of the character were more interesting than others. You have to be on its wavelength for it to work and I never quite got there (I never read the novel or cared much for the movie), but most everyone else seems to love it. Parks and Rec is one of my favorite comedy shows ever. Very easy to binge, delightful cast. It gets a bit weaker toward the end (although I feel like that's most shows) but I'll always love and I'll always be able to come back to it again and again. If you liked The Office than this is similar especially in the first couple seasons. As for which you wanna watch first... Watchmen is obviously shorter with just one season, Mr. Robot is going to be a fairly large time commitment and the most emotionally taxing (but also the most fun!), Parks and Rec is obviously the most relaxing/bingeable. |

Parks and Rec is an all timers for sitcoms. Watchmen is one of the best single seasons around.

Mr. Robot
Watchmen
Parks and Recreation
The Knick
Are all massively recommended. Watchmen has the advantage of being shorter, but if you haven't read the graphic novel (which you should), then you won't understand what's going on.

I recently finished Defending Jacob and Stranger which were soo good with Dockery and Doona Bae absolutely stealing the show. I'm very excited to watch Dark but I don't want to finish it at once and say goodbye to one of my favorite shows ever. So I'll wait.
Anyway what do you think of these?
The Wire
Sense8
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
The OA
Band of Brothers
The Last Dance
Deaklog
Deadwood
The Knick
The Expanse
Afterlife
K-Dramas (or suggest something else)
Signal
White Christmas

Dekalog is really good (and if I were a bigger fan of Kieslowski, I imagine I'd be bowled over by it).
Deadwood I've only seen the beginning of but so far am liking a lot
Brooklyn 99 is crap

Dekalog is in my all-time top 10 films - I consider it a film.......genius level and because it's ~ an hour a piece it can be revisited and pondered endlessly. If you're a person of faith it's staggering..............if not maybe you will be after seeing it. |

I haven't seen Anne with an E, but I did watch Isao Takahata's 50 episode adaptation on Youtube. It was utterly amazing, right up there with Takahata's best works.
The only other one I've seen is Dekalog, which is uneven by virtue of its anthology nature. Some episodes are spectacular, others drag. Unlike most anthologies with one person behind the vision, there didn't seem to be that much unity in Dekalog between episodes. Unpopular opinion, but that's why it needs to be heard. I still like the show, but don't go in expecting a masterpiece, and maybe you'll be more impressed.

White Christmas The Wire is the greatest TV series of all time, IMO, and Deadwood isn't very far behind. Dekalog is the greatest minisseries of all-time (though some consider it a movie instead). The Knick is very good as well. B99 is very fun and often hilarious, though very different from the rest. Depends on your mood. |

Anne with an E - started this a few days ago and am liking it so far.
Mr. Robot - I don't think it's the be-all, end-all like most, but there's a lot of good here.
Watchmen - Incredible stuff. Should get on this after The Knick.
Psych - I've seen most of it and it's good fun.
Parks and Recreation - Mixed to positive bag but the characters are great throughout.
The Knick - Watch ASAP.
Halt and Catch Fire - I gave up after a few episodes, wasn't hooking me.

Highlighting the ones I've seen:
It's been soooo long since I watched The Wire and I want to do a rewatch, but it's really good. B99 is a lot of fun but the quality is kind of all over the place -- ensemble always makes it worth it. Band of Brothers is incredible -- I recommend that highest of this group and it's one of the finest mini series out there. Deadwood is soooo good, and The Knick is next level.
