TV Shows that I really loved, recommend and would rewatch<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Arcane<\/li>\n
  2. Andor<\/li>\n
  3. The West Wing<\/a> \u2013 great conversations, convictions, inspiring characters. Favorite TV show of all time. I might be due for a rewatch soon.<\/li>\n
  4. Sense8 \u2013 unexpected new favorite! I remember when I first heard about the show \u2013 I thought it would be something like Heroes, which I was oddly put off by. I was put off by the premise, I thought it was going to be cheesy and bad. But then my wife watched it and said she liked it, and I thought that was interesting because I like the Matrix (also by the Wachowskis) and she hasn’t watched it yet. So I watched it with her and really loved it.<\/li>\n
  5. Bojack Horseman<\/a> (Watched all 3 seasons so far) \u2013 bleak, sad, honest. Looking forward to the next season. Hoping things get better for Bojack, but not expecting it.<\/li>\n
  6. Horace and Pete \u2013 dark, painful, depressing, bleak. Really looking forward to what Louis CK does next. It’s more like theater than TV.<\/li>\n
  7. [2018] La Casa Del Papel \u2013 really good characters, storytelling, pacing<\/li>\n
  8. Luther \u2013 intense, dark<\/li>\n
  9. Game of Thrones \u2013 I was late to GOT, but I really enjoyed it nevertheless. Particularly the little conversations between characters here and there, more so than the fight scenes, gore or sex. Cersei and Robert Beratheon. Jaime and Brienne.<\/li>\n
  10. Breaking Bad \u2013 was late to this. As everyone says, it’s one of the best shows\u00a0on TV.\u00a0It definitely takes its time \u2013 each season is better than the last. It’s a bit of a slow burn.<\/li>\n
  11. The Expanse \u2013\u00a0Unexpected new favorite! Like a cross between Mass Effect and Ender’s Game. Lots of interesting decision-making situations for people to be in, and\u00a0the characters are mostly smart, mostly trying to make good decisions, and there are no outright villains.<\/li>\n
  12. Master of None. Aziz isn’t the best actor, and he knows it, and he makes up for it very well with his choices.<\/li>\n
  13. Westworld \u2013 one thing I can say about this show is that once I got started, I felt very compelled to watch all of it and get to the end \u2013 and it’s only one season so far. It took me effort to avoid spoilers. I thought it was\u00a0very intelligent, very well done. Anthony Hopkins is an amazing actor. And there are a couple of other great actors in the show, too. There’s\u00a0a single scene that makes the entire show worth watching, for me.<\/li>\n
  14. Rick And Morty \u2013 delightfully trippy fun, and dares to be dark and harsh where it needs to be. Great continuity.<\/li>\n
  15. Dear White People \u2013 very, very satisfying to watch, as a minority. Just to see a show that\u00a0isn’t<\/em> primarily about white people. Looking forward to the next season. (Update: Season 2 is good too, overall!)<\/li>\n
  16. Narcos \u2013 interesting choice of subject matter, and there’s something immersive about the cinematography. Got me interested in South American history, and in the history of drugs. Interesting to compare and contrast with Breaking Bad.<\/li>\n
  17. Arrested Development \u2013 inside jokes and references game insanely good<\/li>\n
  18. The Office (US) \u2013 bureaucracy! Worth watching while reading the Gervais Principle<\/a>. Also compare and contrast with Office Space, the movie.<\/li>\n
  19. Silicon Valley \u2013 finally got around to watching this in Aug 2016. Wish I got to it sooner! It’s not super amazing, but it’s fun and\u00a0so familiar. Just started watching Season 4. (Jul 2017 \u2013 just finished S4).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
