Take the TV Watcher Challenge! ‌📺‌

Welcome back, dear Community Challenge participants!

The "TV Watcher" challengeMost of us love spending time watching movies or TV series. And while in the past we used to wait for our favorite piece to come up on the cable, now various platforms like Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, etc, are granting us freedom of choice. It's easier than ever to go back to some cherished old shows or discover something new every day 😉

We'd love to hear in the comments about your Must-sees and Bests of the best! List your Top Five TV series of all time, Top Three, or just one you can't recommend enough!

As usually, every participant will be granted a unique "TV Watcher" badge and get +100 bonus points. Let's build our Community TV watchlist together and have some fun, widening our horizons! 📺

Even though they are old and I watched way too many series since I think my favorite tv-shows are still Friends and the Stargate SG-1. I'm sure that I'm remembering them with rose-colored glasses though.

Looking at a bit more recent series I can recommend Sherlock, Arcane and The Mandalorian.

There are also some series where the first season was great, but that fell off afterwards, like Heroes, Westworld, Prison break and Dexter, but in regards to the above ones I liked all seasons.

So many options, my Plex library is way to big 🙂

I agree with @Mike_L on Friends and SG, though the rose-colored glasses part is probably right 🙂

For more recent and somewhat tech related I'd recommend Silicon Valley and Black Mirror, both are excellent I think. Also Scrubs I'd always recommend for good laughs.

On one hand, as a huge cinematography enthusiast myself, I feel like was born for this challenge. But on the other? It ought to be the toughest challenge of all -- how am I supposed to narrow down my list to only 1-3-5 favorite shows?

If I tried, thought, I'd have to go with:

Broadchurch (a study in humanity and horrors of real life, can't recommend enough.)
Midnight Mass (an interesting view on vampirism and Christianity, on horrory side of things 😅)
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (season 1 is a master piece in foreshadowing, but also absurdity at its best. A fun watch with a huge aha! moment.)
Fargo (season 1 has been on my rewatch list for the last three winters, and will stay there for a few more. For me it's way better than the movie.)
Severance (it's a 2022 production with only 1 season out, but it's quite promising. A work-life balance concept taken a little too far.)

Can't wait to check out all the pieces from others' lists I haven't seen yet! Cheers 😊

I agree with all of them except for She Hulk. It was painful to watch through the whole series 🙄

Nice, let me show you my star wars pics

The Witcher! Of course, how could I forget the show based on the Polish source material 😁

A lot of good stuff in your recommendations, will add to my to-watch list!

Re: Take the TV Watcher Challenge! ‌📺‌

jarinmusarrat — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 16:39:36 GMT

Same! I couldn't just get over with the ending and the only question I had left was why?

This will be too difficult to narrow things down, but the latest show to grip my attention (get through the first 3 episodes to see if you'll like it) is Andor on Disney+.

If you're looking for a fun and quirky detective show, Castle is a big favorite of mine (starring Nathan Fillion). Brooklyn 99 is also a great show in a similar vein.

The Star Trek TOS, TNG, and Voyager were big pieces of my childhood, and the new Lower Decks animated comedy is perfect if you like poking fun at the Trek universe.

There's so many others to name, but I'll leave it at that for now!

ooooo well... this is tough, in order

Westworld definitely #1, so sad it isn't getting its fifth and final season 😭
Avatar the last airbender
Breaking bad/better call Saul, so long but so worth it
The office (US)
Taskmaster, all global variations
British panel shows in general

I think thats it for favs, I'm not a huge TV fan
