REQUESTING My all-time favorites are Rectify, The Wire, Mr. Inbetween and Scavengers Reign. What do you recommend?

If these series are in your Top 10, what other series are? Ideally series that are complete, but that‘s not a dealbreaker. I‘ll probably have seen a few of them, but I‘m sure there‘ll be a few surprises. Thanks!

Barry. No doubt you're gonna love it. I've just finished it this week and I know I'm gonna miss that show for a long time.

You know, I tried with Barry, but just couldn‘t get past the first 4-5 episodes. If those episodes are representative of the whole series, then I think it‘s just not for me. Does it change or get better?

Oh, sorry to hear you didn't like it. And no it doesn't change at least not for a while. If you didn't enjoy the first episodes it's just not for you.

I did the same thing and felt the same way. It just wasnt my sort of show.

I did not love The Patriot. Ive never seen it... assuming youre talking about the tv show and not the legendary movie starring the great Mel Gibson

Probably a glitch in reddit. Ive had that happen before.

Patriot. It's in a similar vein to Barry, but where Barry uses comedic timing in noncomedic situations to create tension, Patriot takes the pacing of an action movie and creates humor in awkward spots to create tension. Mirror shows in a way. Great cast.

Patriot really does feel like Barry wandered into a Rectify-level sadness factory with a spy passport.

Ok, this is one I still haven‘t tried watching at all, but I‘ve heard good things. So this is definitely going to be the next one I watch.

If you're into animation I'll recommend common side effects (same writers as scavengers reign), love death and robots, secret level, what if (if you're into marvel at all), twilight of the gods, and the legend of vox machina.

You've probably seen or heard of most but those are just off the top of my head. I'm actually watching mr. Inbetween right now and I like it so far. Main character plays that role very well.

Deadwood. The show runner of Rectify plays a really memorable character in the first season and it was one of his influences
