Television

12 Monkeys the TV show. I've never met anyone that has even heard of it, and I really enjoyed it! Same main characters as the movie, more or less, but a more involved story. Very satisfying, tidy ending.

I forgot to add on my first post:

Dare to Believe - Weird UK sketch show

We Are Lady Parts - a more recent one. Dramady following an all-girl Muslim punk band in London.

4400, but it was a wierd hybrid of superpower humans and dystopian future+ time travelling of mankind, basically in the future the wealthy/aristocratic were living in prisitne cities while everything was a version madmax and judge dredd future. threshold was another one. the "rich people" found out about the scientist going back in tiem to prevent this future, so they sent thier own agents to the past to stop it.

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.

Brickleberry

Otherworld.

Pushing Daisies

Lexx, a show about a giant dragonfly spaceship that destroys planets and the creepy cowardly idiot who somehow lucked into becoming the single person in the two universes that it obeys. And an undead assassin-warrior-poet. And a woman who survived a botched "love slave" transformation. And a weird robot head.

It's outrageously strange and strangely horny and hornily gross. Highly recommend if you like weird TV.

I always mention this one, but The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.

It's got Bruce Campbell in it (Army of darkness) And he plays a cowboy as the lead character where he goes on wacky steampunk-filled hijinks and adventures through the Old West.

it came out in the early 90s and you can watch it for free on tubiTV.

Fun fact, a lot of the old timey western movies used a particular set and the Adventures of Brisco County Jr. was the last show to use that set.

When they finished it was torn down.

Another fun fact, you've heard the theme song.

It's now used in the Olympics when America plays.

It's a fucking amazing show.

If you like Severence, you really need to see Dollhouse. Only 2 seasons, complete story. Slow start, but it doesn't go where you expect, it's a complete story, and Dichen Lachman (Gemma Scout) plays basically the same role.

Scavenger's Reign and Pantheon

News Radio.

Miss that.

Miss Phil.

Dead Like Me

It was pretty much all over the place but I liked the tone and premise. IMO, I really doubt anyone would've been able to make that kind of story work any more than the original folks did but yeah. I don't think the writing was that good but I liked the cast. That alone would've sold me. Also maybe throw in the fact that I found the show while I was kind of starting out on my own during college and so in ways, I related to the main person. Yada yada yada.

ETA: if you want a more recent one, Deli Boys is pretty great

Spaced

Early Simon Pegg / Nick Frost / Edgar Wright collaboration, sitcom style.

Utopia - The UK version though, fuck the American remake.

Monkey Dust - Obscure UK animation.

Dark

Better Off Ted

Station Eleven

It's absolutely criminal how little attention HBO gave this show. It wasn't even brought to Europe, so you can't watch it legally over here. But IMHO it's one of the best TV shows of the past few years, and it's a complete story so no cliffhangers. It's also one of the rare cases of a show being better than the book it was based on, and the book was already a bestseller.

Raised by Wolves. It was killed by HBO around the time of the discovery merger thing, but was a fully written (creator originally wrote it as a book, and then made it into a screenplay) and unique show. Produced by and has some directing from Ridley Scott.

The show follows two androids, Mother and Father, raising a human child alone on a desolate planet after fleeing a dying earth controlled by hi-tech zealots. This new home might be far more related to them than they realize, and maybe not always so desolate. It blends mysticism and sci-fi in a really fun way, and I will never not be angry I don't get to see how it ends.

I guess in this case obscure differs a lot geographically, but I definitely know places where they are almost completely unknown.

Danger 5. Greatest Australian comedy of all time. https://youtu.be/0Z09bNgSeMI

You're The Worst

-- A dark comedy / romantic comedy that centers on two toxic, self-destructive people who fall in love and attempt a relationship. --

Absolutely amazing TV show by Stephen Falk. Criminally underrated. It is my favorite show of all time. It should be available to stream on Hulu, otherwise pirating it may be the only way to watch it.

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts

-- A bright, wonderful and adorable show (animated by Dreamworks) that follows 13-year-old Kipo navigating a post-apocalyptic world full of evolved animals with human-level intelligence, and making friends along the way. --

This is a family-friendly show that took me about 7 episodes to get hooked. I am so glad I stuck with it! Made by Radford Sechrist and Bill Wolkoff. It's on Netflix. It also had a small DVD release that may be difficult to find.
