Comrade Detective
Fictional 1980s Romanian buddy-cop propaganda tv show promoting Soviet communism - filmed in 2017. Dubbed into English with voices including:
Channing Tatum Joseph Gordon-Levitt Nick Offerman Jenny Slate Jason Mantzoukas John DiMaggio
It’s fucking amazing
Flash Foward was an interesting series, sadly it end on a major cliffhanger and was never continued.
Patriot. On Amazon prime. Dark comedy. CIA and government ineptitude.
Honestly, great show. I don't know what I expected, but it was so much better.
Hell yeah
Odyssey 5 (Only lasted a season, but damn...)
Boardwalk Empire (for some reason the least talked about and most forgotten HBO show)
Into the Badlands (Deserved a longer life. Great martial arts action in a post-apocalypse)
First Wave (Nostrodamus, Conspiracy theories and the first wave of an secret Alien invasion)
Seven Days (The younger lapaglia brother jumps back in time 7 days to prevent various threats)
Sense8 (strangers from all over the world find themselves linked mentally for some reason)
Brickleberry
Otherworld.
Haven't seen these mentioned yet:
Fringe
Killjoys
Blood. Blood. BLOOD. Blood.
Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place
Now that’s an obscure gem and suddenly I want to hear that 80s synth song from Matt Berry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO-ZGP68-3w
Being Erica
Forever Knight
La femme Nikita (Peta Wilson version)
Space above and Beyond
Sliders
Doraleus and Associates (web series)
Dr Horribles Singalong Blog (is this okay for this list?)
Due South
Celebrity Deathmatch
Ask a Ninja (early YouTube channel)
Space above and beyond died too young. It was such an awesome scifi show with some really mind blowing good episodes
Oh man, Ask a Ninja just unlocked a core memory that I had buried. What a perfect example of early Internet comedy.
I would disagree with due south and being Erica but to each own.
Gosh I was gonna say "perfect". Though to be fair I haven't rewatched Being Erica and it did happen at exactly that time on my life, so was very relatable.
Due South is a treasure. No notes.
Disagree for them flirting under the radar or you wouldn't recommend them or both?
Due south was pretty big and so was being Erica but I wouldn't put it up there with corner gas or trailer park boys. Those changed lives.
They were big, but 20+years later they are pretty under the radar now
The Patriot on amazon is one of my favourite tv shows of all time. Tragically cancelled but each episode is outstanding. Nobody's seen it!
Mr Inbetween
Because I've never met anyone else who ever watched it and I haven't been able to pirate it:
An action/comedy police procedural about a unit of the Chicago PD that manages cryptids (called "Links" in the show). A little bit like a terrestrial MIB.
Corner Gas, brilliant comedy about a tiny Saskatchewan town set around a gas station that is connected to a diner and the oddball people that live there.
You'll come for the quaint setting, stay for the Jackass screaming Oscar.
