    I have a few, but each in their own categories.

    • Reality - Departures - A show where three fellows in Canada give up everything to travel the world together for a year, documenting their journey. One year becomes three. It released me of all my anxieties about leaving the comfort of my home and is now a gem of a series I keep close by. Shout out to Andres Dupuis, Justin Lukach, and Scott Wilson for being such a huge inspiration.

    • Live Action Drama/Comedy - Scrubs - The best medical drama out there. It is so well written, so impactful, and so enjoyable to go through. It helped me come to terms with my dad’s passing.

    • Live Action Sitcom - Friends - 10 seasons of ups and downs, laughter, and tears. The show definitely told us life was gonna be this way. Can’t go wrong with this classic.

    • Animated - Futurama - Another contender for one of the best written TV shows out there. It’s so perfectly complete.

    • Anime - Log Horizon - I’m a long-time fan of both .hack// and Log Horizon. Both are incredible series. But Log Horizon is maybe a bit more compact and easy to follow for outsiders and is generally a more casual watch experience while still having solid continuity across the series.

    This is hard.

    • Avatar: The Last Airbender + The Legend of Korra together. Don’t even get me started (actually please do).

    • Pantheon. Dense, proper sci fi, criminally and tragically suppressed IRL. Watch it, right now.

    • I am really loving Severance so far.

    • Arcane is up there, maybe as most artistic.

    • Star Wars: Andor. Not a huge Star Wars fan, but it’s so good, and grounded. It has everything.

    I have a lot of “secondary” favorites I am excluding here, like The Expanse, Person of Interest, Fringe, The Americans, Narcos, Mythbusters, and such for various reasons, but are still amazing.

      +1 for Avatar. Such a phenomenal cast of characters and world building. Korra got really weird but I still appreciate it.

        I love LoK, honestly more than ATLA, for many reasons. Along those lines, I was more into ATLA for Zuko than the Gaang.

    Easily Star Trek: The Next Generation. It’s mystery, sci-fi, action, drama, and period pieces (holo deck episodes). It has a bit of everything. Plus it’s a hopeful vision of the future.

    Bob’s Burgers hands down. It’s just constantly showcases the wholesomeness I want to see in the world.

    It shows a constantly imperfect world, and family, friends, and community standing together to survive it.

    I could write a thesis, but I’m crying thinking about that Christmas episode now, you know the one.

      Fringe is so underrated.

      …Have you seen Severance? It feels more condensed, and I am loving it so far.

        Ah the expanse, of course! Awesome, though the last two seasons went down in quality. Especially the lady season was a mess only surpassed bu game of thrones season 8
