I'm a huge fan of anything Damon Lindelof has been a head writer on

Lost

Watchmen

And my personal all time favorite show:

The Leftovers

He's latest show Mrs. Davis is ok too but not quite as good as his previous stuff.

Another show recommendation that I love to give because no one watched it is The English. It's a crazy stylish western, reminds me of Coen Brothers.

It's a short series (six episodes so far) but with two more in production: The Devil's Hour.

Go in blind, don't spoil it for yourself.

If you like a series that gives you all the clues but none of them fall together until the last episode, this one is dark, brain-bendy supernatural mystery with an excellent cast.

Am I Being Unreasonable?

Mandy

Ted Lasso

If you can only do one make it Am I Being Unreasonable? It is incredibly good.

but open to other rabbit holes

If you like satirical comedy or entertaining educational shows, there's a lot on Australian television (particularly shows from the national Australian Broadcasting Corporation). Also, for people who enjoyed The Office (at least, the UK version, I haven't seen the US variant), I recommend Utopia - it's far from a clone but has a lot of similar themes of workplace life mixed with poking fun at bureaucracy and government.

but I don't live in australia, or have a VPN to access ABC iView!

Visit the sidebar resources of !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, or even just YouTube will get you a lot of them.

Better Off Ted

From (https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/124364-from)

Season 3 should be done by end of September.

Other suggestions in this thread are pretty good.

And one of my preferred show; Utopia (the UK version) warning it is unfinished, only two seasons but this is just a great show. Take care of not watching the cropped version. Also it is so cool this TV show aired before COVID19.

Oz.

Then you may proceed with everything else.

Old and left field ones

Wonderfalls Dead like me The almighty Johnsons (nz)

British ones Teachers (Andrew lincolin one) Coupling

Lots of good recommendations already. I especially second Last Kingdom since you liked Vikings. There is the series + one movie that ends things. Also seconding Peaky Blinders because it is fucking amazing.

I will add His Dark Materials (based on YA novels, but really good) and Carnival Row (can't vouch for 2nd season yet as haven't had the chance to watch it, but 1st is great).

House of the Dragon too, since you liked GoT (again, can't vouch for 2nd season yet).
