What I'm planning to watch next.
Currently Watching
Station Eleven first watch
Literary post-apocalyptic drama
Limited series. Complete story, no drop-off.
Critically adored (~98% RT), landed on tons of year-end best-of lists. Underseen because it launched during COVID.
Moral Orel first watch
Stop-motion depression spiral
Starts as a Davey and Goliath parody. Becomes something else entirely by S3.
Tiny Adult Swim audience. Started as crude parody, S3 became one of the most devastating character studies in animation. Massive critical reappraisal years later.
Dark rewatching
Time-travel mystery thriller
German time-travel sci-fi. Trust the subtitles. Perfect ending.
~95% RT. Massive international cult following — regularly tops 'best sci-fi ever' lists. Netflix's first German original. Three planned seasons, stuck the landing.
Nathan for You rewatching
Cringe business-sabotage comedy
A socially awkward genius "helps" small businesses. Unmatched.
~98% RT. Small Comedy Central audience, massive word-of-mouth. 'Finding Frances' finale is considered one of the best episodes of TV ever made.
I Think You Should Leave rewatching
Absurdist escalation sketch comedy
15-minute episodes of pure chaos. Most efficient comedy delivery system ever built.
~94% RT. Tim Robinson became a comedy deity. Massively meme-able. You'll quote it constantly.
The Life & Times of Tim rewatching
Minimalist animated cringe comedy
12-minute episodes of quiet humiliation. Deeply underrated.
Steve Dildarian's creation. Cancelled twice by HBO, revived once. Tiny audience, devoted cult following. Quietly influential on modern cringe comedy.
Up Next
Devs
Tech thriller about free will
Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation). Self-contained miniseries. The tech premise is handled with more care than most.
Well-received (~80% RT). Flew under the radar — launched right when COVID hit. Cult following among tech-adjacent viewers.
Contenders
Jury Duty
Hidden camera comedy
Limited series. One real guy on a fake jury — everyone else is an actor.
Huge word-of-mouth hit. Won the Emmy for Best Comedy Series. Broadly loved.
30 Rock
Rapid-fire joke-dense sitcom
Seasons 1-5 are the strongest. 6-7 are fine, just a slight dip.
Won the Emmy for Best Comedy 3 years running. Tina Fey's magnum opus. 8+ jokes/minute.
Party Down
Dry ensemble workplace comedy
S1-2 are the originals and the best. S3 revival is decent but optional.
Cult classic. Tiny audience on air, massive critical love after cancellation. Cast: Adam Scott, Lizzy Caplan, Jane Lynch, Martin Starr.
Infinity Train
Puzzle-box anthology train ride
Same vibe as Over the Garden Wall but with a multiverse train. Each season is a different passenger.
Critically adored, cancelled too early. Each season follows a different passenger on an infinite train. Gets surprisingly dark for Cartoon Network. Cult following.
The Midnight Gospel
Animated existential podcast odyssey
Duncan Trussell + Pendleton Ward. The finale episode will wreck you.
Polarizing but beloved by its audience. Duncan Trussell + Pendleton Ward (Adventure Time). Real podcast conversations layered over surreal animation. The finale is devastating.
Shelved
Shōgun
Epic feudal Japan drama
Shelved — saving for after Ghost of Tsushima. Complete, self-contained story.
Massive — swept the Emmys with 18 wins, most ever for a single season. ~99% RT.
