Black Mirror? Rick and Morty's pretty off the wall. Intense nihilism, interesting sci-fi concepts, "what if" ideas carried far enough that they become horrifying more often than not, et c. I haven't gotten around to True Detective yet (how are people in this thread watching so much TV that they're running out of good content?!?) but I understand it didn't/doesn't exactly follow one of the usual formulas.
MST3K-influenced shows are all web-only AFAIK, so it's not "TV" but there's more content of that sort than ever.
- Retric 11y agoThe Black Mirror is an interesting case. It's got 7 episodes over 3 years and is exactly the kind of show Netflix wants so there going to produce another 12. Honestly, I think really demonstrates a failing of TV and not a success. Like how firefly got 1/2 a season @ 14 episodes.
