Severance is excellent. As is For All Mankind.
- pizzalife 3y agoI found Severance to be pretty meandering and I didn't like the acting. I'll give it another try.
- darknavi 3y agoThe lore building in it is really enjoyable to me. It almost reminds of me Tales from the Loop, which is extremely slow but all about world building.
- Hyzer 3y agoI almost stopped watching because the middle episodes (of the first season) were just wheel spinning. But the last 3 episodes surprised me, they really redeemed the season in a big way.
- sbierwagen 3y agoA victim of the medium. Prestige TV almost always has too little writing to cover too many episodes. At least with episodic TV you could skip the filler episodes, but when long-form linear TV drips out plot revelations every ten minutes you have to sit through the whole thing.
- entropicdrifter 3y agoIt's a slow burn but a solid mystery/drama. The end of the season has some edge-of-your-seat moments that wouldn't hit nearly as hard without all of the smaller moments from the middle of the season
- kemayo 3y agoAs someone who's into more light-hearted fare... The After Party is fun. It's a murder-mystery, with each episode retelling the same night of the murder in the style of a different film genre. Rashomon-y, but more about playing with genre than with strictly what was seen. Mythic Quest is pretty well targeted for the HN crowd, insofar as it's a comedy set in a video game studio, and does a lot about software-dev culture.
- a2tech 3y agoThe Big Door Prize is also excellent and light hearted but asks big questions
- salad-tycoon 3y agoSeverance, extremely slow burning but turns into a great show.
- chrisdhal 3y agoAs were Ted Lasso, See, and Servant (all done now).
- SirensOfTitan 3y agoDon’t forget Drops of God
- jerrycruncher 3y agoSeverance had stronger Philip K Dick vibes than other shows that were actually based on his work.
