Sense8
This has to be one of the best TV shows ever created. It is a SCI-FI Drama where 8 strangers from 8 different cities suddenly posses the power to communicate with each other as well as share their skills and knowledge via mental connection. It is brilliantly shot, every episode seamlessly binds 8 individuals into a single story despite being miles away. I highly recommend watching this show.

Con Man
This is a web series created by Alan tudyk, based on his own experience after the cancellation of Firefly. It pretty funny and gives an insight into actors life. What's impressive is that It crowdfunded $1 million under 24 hours. It was surprising that I hadn't heard of this show till last week.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
This is a detective show which features a detective that does not have any real detection skills with a side-kick (Elijah Wood) who is even more clueless. based on the novel with same name It combines Sci-Fi and Detective mystery. It is quite funny and weird at the same time which is right up my alley.

The Shannara Chronicles
This show is based off a fantasy book with the same name. In a post-apocalyptic world, humans and elf live in harmony under protection of a mystical tree whose every leaf is an imprisoned demon. The story is an adventurous exploration of finding a cure for the dying tree as well as a way to stop the demons with the help of a druid, an elf and a half human. The show is a little cheesy but I personally like the show. The visuals are really good but the people who have read the books might not find the story line and acting as compelling.

Lucifer
This show is a simple story. The Devil decides to leave hell to live his life in LA, brings along his pet demon and the wrath of his angelic brother Amanadel. I like this show because it took that negativeness out of the word "Devil" and justifies some of the action taken by the character. Now this is not a glorification of the devil it is just a crime drama exploring the human side of a demented and fallen angel. If you want to watch something new and entertaining then give it a shot.
Trailer: https://youtu.be/X4bF_quwNtw
The Man in the High Castle
This tv show is based off the book with the same name. The story depicts an alternative history the Nazi won the war. The premise follows a protagonist who rebels against the government and sets out on a mission to deliver some reels to the man in the high castle. The story is incredibly slow paced till about mid season, the main characters are kinda annoying but the content of the show is great. I am not a history buff but the show provides a great insight to what could have been.

Sense8 = self indulgent tripe. Shanara cast linebackers as elves (downhill from there), & Lucifer = formulaic crap. The rest deserve a look.
Huor
The Dirk Gently books were wonderful. The show is garbage.
crazyCADS
First off, this gallery was "shows that I enjoy", not "best shows ever" and where is stranger things??????
BetterLuckyThanGood
Sense8 was average, Lucifer was mediocre at best, and Shannara Chronicles was flatly awful. 'm suspicious of this whole list now.
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
Go watch The Man in the High castle.. that one is way better than the others. (Or read the book first, doesn't matter)
seansuaves
Sorry for your taste
informationaccount
Sense8....AKA netflix finally controlled wachowski's enough w/ a lower budget so could actually be pressured to make something good.
cleverbeans
They did? I thought it was a pretty terrible show and I'm sure I'm not alone.
Drafi
It's pretty much the definition of a cult classic. To those it appeals to, it'll be fantastic, but to others it'll be unwatchable garbage
SageSparrow
All of these suck. You lost me at Sense 8, pure garbage, wachowskis need to stop making entertainment.
khensu83
I love lucifer it's funny and witty and dam he's funny
berlinson
Sense8 is cringeworthy.
ShibeDogeBork
I was an extra on Con Man, they filmed at Collector's Paradise.
TheRetiredColourman
cool! what exactly did you do? did you already check out if you actually can be seen or did they cut the scene out?
ShibeDogeBork
I was in the autograph line, the episode with Seth Green. It was a volunteer kinda thing, so I just stood there, we got paid with autographs
TheRetiredColourman
that's pretty cool! good for you :)
Arsetickler
Westworld!!!
BlinkSpunk
Dirk Gently's novel author is Douglas Adams (HHGTTG) [sic]. I wish they would mention that more.
calyxium
It's right before the name of the show on the opening credits of every episode.
mookiedoi360
Loved Dirk gently! I tried to get into senses had big hopes for it. Didn't like it. Other shows awesome imo "the expanse" & "travelers"
raudssus
Says Sense 8 is best show ever created, stopped reading further.....

BloodiDodi
I really couldn't get into Sense8. I enjoyed Cloud Atlas a lot and the whole jumping between different characters but this was soooo boring.
BloodiDodi
PS. Thanks for mentioning Con Man. I love Alan Tudyk, gonna look it up right away.
ThistleBlue
Just started The Man in the High Castle yesterday's after finishing The Expanse. Enjoyed the beginning.
IalwaysUpvoteBlackCats
Same, I'm a few episodes deep and abandoned it because the drama feels too cheesy to me now. Hope you'll like it, I'm going to try the book
zhukoz
I almost had to hold myself at gunpoint to finish the book, it was excruciating...like trying to drag yourself through quicksand lol
GingrNinja
Took me a little longer than I'm proud of to realise I'd read the book for The Expanse. Didn't pay attention to the intro.
saintbrun
I love Lucifer. True fact, it's based off Lucifer & characters from Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic.
IalwaysUpvoteBlackCats
Neil Gaimans Lucifer is the only one I'd watch. Please tell me they have Lilith and maybe some Hellblazer character cameos?
saintbrun
They sadly don't. They have Mazhikeen though and do a beautiful job with hiding her true appearance.
saintbrun
It's also highly extrapolated from the DC comic. It's obvious where it's from but they treat it as its own universe.
IalwaysUpvoteBlackCats
Ah, and I just picked up the new Hellblazer DC run over the summer. Bummer, but I'll still have to check out the show. I love Sandman
saintbrun
Do check it out! It's very entertaining!
PabbaStrak
Sense8, best TV show ever created? Are you mad?? The first few episodes were decent, but after that it's just pure shit.
Drafi
I had the opposite experience -- hated the first few episodes, but it got /much/ more enjoyable after that. Didn't like the ending, though
cleverbeans
If the first few episodes are the best then I can't imagine how bad the later episodes are. It was terrible in every possible way.
SurrealBill
It's a damn shame Dirk Gently has been Americanised
IalwaysUpvoteBlackCats
I saw Max Landis on the credits and sighed audibly from disappointment.
downofathistle
Yeah the original was awesome, I love that guy from Green Wing!
etang600
It was still pretty good
MasterWuu
What's Americanized about it? As a fan of the books been debating wether to give this one a shot
DrFolk
There are soooo many better shows on than these.
burtnip
such as??
DrFolk
Shooter, the exorcist, lethal weapon, Westworld. Designated survivor
MRSPRINKLZZZ
Game of Thrones, Mr Robot, The Leftovers, It's Always Sunny, Stranger Things, Arrested Development, Band of Brothers, Rick and Morty
MRSPRINKLZZZ
I did really like Sense8 however
ErrareHumanumEww
Justified, Bosch, The Wire just to mention police-related series..
Allybpp
Breaking Bad, The Shield..
mormacil
ANything good without crime?
Allybpp
Crime's all I know
burtnip
I might be the only person who thought breaking bad was mediocre. Went on far too long. Been meaning to check out the shield though.
Allybpp
I actually like Shield more than Breaking Bad....and I was obsessed with BB
moon2A
There where 5 seasons...how's that too long? 62 episodes
burtnip
i only made it to s4. episode with the fly is where i fell out of love.
Feench
The Shannara Chronicles is LOTR meets MTV teenage dating drama bullshit. I tried to like it, I really did.
OzmaAsimov
Thank you. This is the perfect description. I tried, too. I wanted to like it. But it was unbearably awful.
vikk3
Couldn't finish even the first episode. Too much teen drama and cliche fantasy.
ThisIsBrandNewInformation
Me to... Watched them all anyway. So full of the cringe
malewithpaleale
Agreed. Its not a good tv show, Its just dumb entertainment. I watch it after a hard day when I don't want to use my brain
OrgasmicBloodFart
I loved the books years ago but the show was so, so bad... :( I felt embarrassed watching it
MostIndeedlySo
Never read the books, don't like teen drama shows but I kinda did like Shannara. Or at least the main elf woman protagonist.
MostIndeedlySo
Fine! I liked her because she was so sweet and cute and I really liked those elf ears.
Neb00
But she only has 3 different face-expressions throughout the whole series!
BlastFX
With how few fantasy shows are being made, we can't be picky.
Rimanna
I watched Lucifer and it's alright, but I feel like it would've been better if they hadn't put the focus on the detective.
tatischief
Oh yes. Just another cop procedural drama. Was hoping for more from Gaiman inspired Lucifer.
MasterWuu
If it's sorta lore based like Constatine or Supernatural it's right up my alley. But I'm guessing it's not?
Rimanna
It's based on a comic where Lucifer as it says, is banished from hell and lives in LA, I haven't seen those shows but I think you'd like it.
Bonghaar
Although in the case of this show, he technically wasn't banished. He simply got bored of it all, and left to have fun.
xrufus7x
It is a procedural cop show. The first season has some angel and Lucifer lore in it but not much. The second season has a lot more.
AustinAlex
You think Sense8 is one of the best shows ever created? I mean, I liked it but it's not that great.
watercolours
The worst about it is the typical American "everybody happen to speak English all over the world"-bullshit... Ruins the immersion for me..
arteestic1
As a liberal, even I think it slams you with to much liberal propoganda 1 episode in. Barely made it through 2. Glad some people enjoy it.
cleverbeans
I watch pretty much any sci-fi pulp but Sense8 didn't even keep me through two episodes. I consider it among the worst shows ever made.
THEHIPP0
I found it okay. However it does take very long to get started. Maybe watch 2 more.
shhep
It would be better if it wasn't a fucking dating sim stretched over long hours.
Sneckz
I noticed that Netflix likes to make it a thing to show nudity in their originals because they don't have to censor. It can get annoying.
xVancha
Interesting how many replies to this admit to having watched all of two episodes.
Galdrack
It's hard to claim it's one of the best shows ever made when people struggle to get through the first 2 episodes.
Zeroshark
My thoughts exactly. Best TV show ever? Better than Game of Thrones, West Wing, Band of Brothers, etc?
Galdrack
After the last 2 seasons I'd cut Game of Thrones off that list too.
010010010
At _least_ two of those are actually some of the best TV shows ever made.
bestboobs
I was interested till you said Shanara Chronicles. That show was shit. I can no longer trust you.
arcsander
WORST. SERIES. EVER
NinjasStoleMyMama
Fucking awful.
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
didnt care for the book series either. glanced through previews. ick.
totallyrealname
It's like fantasy for someone who has never read a decent fantasy novel in their life. I couldn't even sit through an episode.
BecauseCanadian
Haha, I had the same thought
SkeuomorphicallyInclined
Yeah but Dirk Gently is awesome. Very hit and miss list.
Duraxis
Eh, it was watchable for a fantasy show fix. Wasn't horrible if you could look past the drama
oneof5
Tried binge watching the entire thing with my brothers. Only finished it due to the creative slagging it was given. Terrible series.
DreamWeavr
Way to ruin what could have been some decent high fantasy.
TINACHOOOO
Right!? I really want Shanara Chronicles to be good but it was just a bunch of whiney teens.
reux
And now his village must be burned to the ground.
YoloSwagginsAndTheKnightsOfTheRoundTable
Same. Though I do know man in the high castle is good. Shannara chronicles is complete shit.
BalianMoony
Agreed, thay series is really bad. It's not even a "so bad it's good" type series either
AxisBond
It was, but Ivana Baquero made it just about watchable. I'm sure I'll end up watching the second season as well (yep, it's been confirmed)
80percentlegs
I was a huge fan of the series as a kid. MTV butchered it.
Fialovich
What do you expect from Mtv?
inpuredeceit
I was so stoked when I saw it on Netflix then saw MTV and haven't even tried to watch it.
TerraformTrent
Music television. OH WAIT
nuto
Agreed. This was so terrible.
TinySatanicHamster
I've heard that Man In The High Castle is very good though.
shadowsdustwind
Its great, amazing if ur a history buff.
RincewindTVD
He likes a Dirk Gently that isn't Stephen Mangan, I'm suspicious too.
Gaitingirl
Read the books instead of watching that garbage. I understand that the book and show would be different... But they ruined it.
WhiskeyTangoFedora
OMG, it was such garbage. I could not agree with you more.
Silentbunny
Big fan of the books here, not seen the show yet, i hope you are all wrong.
bthighlander
Don't do it. It sucks. The only good character was the druid.
bestboobs
Fucking loved the druid. Only decent actor in the entire show too.
Grmn
I rarely comment and have to parrot this sentiment. That show was hot garbage, it made 90's Hercules and Xena look good by todays standards
takemetoyourleader
Books were rubbish but the show managed to be worse.
shadowsdustwind
100 percent true minus the hawt rogue chick.
SanityAsylum
Yeah, was 100% CW network style teenage angst drama.
xrufus7x
This was a level of teenage angst the CW could only aspire to.
skolyr
Here's the kicker. It's MTV. I didn't believe it when I saw the trailers. Worse than CW.
BalianMoony
I didn't have trouble believing, seeing as they make Teen Wolf and that's crap too
ilovebutterscotch
I feel op may be a teen themselves
fivecharacters
That's a shame, because the books are really quite good.
Knilore
Was hopeful for when I got around to it but seeing "every leaf is a demon" screams of "The Seeker" level 'artistic license' that's senseless
dpidcoe
Oh man, I'd been trying really hard to suppress my memories of seeker :(
LauraSans
Ep 1 of Seeker, they f'd up the story so bad not only could they not end book 1 properly, but the whole storyline of the book series was f'd
DavidMcclannahan
I didn't watch all of it, what did you not like besides twilight meets Lotr? That to me was the worst part, pointless romantic plot.
bestboobs
It gets a lot worse after the first few episodes. The writing is just abysmal, both in terms of dialogue and plot flow, and the acting...
Juxtheunwise
Yeah I was keen for a fantasy kinda show but two episodes in and I just wasn't enjoying it.
malewithpaleale
That is not a good tv show, its just entertaining. Plus I am only 3 episodes in so maybe it wasn't the best choice to add.
Beastialitykilledthecat
Def not
bestboobs
First few episodes are actually pretty decent and then it gets worse and worse with each episode.
Drafi
I was really excited for more when it was three episodes in, too, but I'm sorry to say it does not deliver on that excitement
malewithpaleale
Yeh its all down hill from 3 episodes. I can see that now
IKnowWhereSydBarrettLived
I think the BBC made a version of Dirk Gently with Stephen Mangan a few years back.
UltramaticOrange
You don't expect it to be good, but suddenly it is. Always happy to see Dirk get some love.
bigtuna515
DAN!
shaftinferno
I actually quite liked it. Had a budding Sherlock tone that took an interesting turn.
MynamemightbeDavebutprobablynot
It's sort of a cross between Sherlock and doctor who.
lambaroo
i liked it too. it wasn't perfect but i was still disappointed they decided not to make more
EdemahRuh
I liked it better than I'm liking this new one. The new one seems related to the book in name only.
profp
It was OK.
lambaroo
the actors fitted the characters much better than the american version
paininallthediodesdownmyleftside

Sense 8 Christmas special and season 2 coming very soon
Firesofiso
I'm so stoked, I hope it holds up

Yes finally!
sizlon
too much bias from the LGBT agenda. good idea for the show but it got tiring.
Copenhagenman
Felt the same way. I'm all for LGBT, but as you said: It got tiring.
sizlon
nice to know Im not alone. I thought imgur would down vote the hell out of my comment.
cthulhaa
Woooo!!!! I had no idea :D
NerdyMcNerderson
Rewatching Season 1 as we speak! Can't wait for more.

I finished rewatching it a couple days ago lol

EXCELLENT.
Muniaxe
I'm really sorry to bust everyones balls but alot of the characters have been recast due to different reasons. I have my doubts about 1/2

Season 2, since I loved the original cast and can't really see someone else pick up any of the roles 2/2

Actually, it was a very poignant point - it showed aspects of the cluster that dealt with privacy and inclusion. But w/e.
MeanMisterClean
I stopped watching when people with this amazing power used it to hook up with one another.
BrownJellyTrail
It's been so long since the first season came out, I've forgotten all about it. Now I have to go binge watch it again to remember.

You Sir/Ma'am are a wonderful soul
TrijezniMujo
Season 2 is in early May.... Christmas special is in 23 december
MasterWuu
The trailers were cheesy but I might give this one a shot.
FartLongerNotHarder
You'll love it or you'll hate it. It's one of those
Pirkale
Watched part of the pilot, but it seemed incredibly slow and not very interesting. I presume it gets better at some point (like B5...)?
revcleo
It felt like it took ages for them to all get fully introduced, I liked it though! And now I am super excited to see what they all do :D
YouHaveFailedMeForTheLastTimeAdmiral
I think it's a good thing they didn't shove in so much info to introduce them all! It was paced a little slow but I think it worked out :)
malewithpaleale
I am really excited
YouHaveFailedMeForTheLastTimeAdmiral
As am I! I am surprised it took so long for another season
ultraronbun
I have been waiting for this since the moment Will and Riley held each other for the first time.
trippyvisuals
Whaaaaaaat!?
YouHaveFailedMeForTheLastTimeAdmiral
Yes I promise!
NoodleKeeper
Yes!
YouHaveFailedMeForTheLastTimeAdmiral
It's about time right!

My choir and I recorded a song for the sense8 Christmas special soundtrack. Lana (the producer) is pretty cool. You'll love it ????

Such a good show!!!!
YouHaveFailedMeForTheLastTimeAdmiral
It's an amazing show, I keep recommending it to friends and they never listen :(
reptilianstarlord
I can't wait ! :D
whatevsies
I loved it too but I hope they add a bit more pace to the story.
YouHaveFailedMeForTheLastTimeAdmiral
Same here! :)
blurokin
Sad they recast Capheus but hopefully the new actor will do good! I think that's why it took so long for the second season.
wouldntyouliketobeapeppertoo
Whaaaa????
blurokin
Sources are too long for imgur limit but from what I've read in different places it has to do with the original actor not getting (1/2)
blurokin
with the director and possibly cast. I haven't read recent sources so far confirming it as the reason. (2/2)
FartLongerNotHarder
Bout fkn time too, took forever!
blurokin
I think it's because they recast Capheus
YouHaveFailedMeForTheLastTimeAdmiral
It really did! Hopefully they took so long to make it great!
FartLongerNotHarder
Here's hopin lol. I'm probably going to binge watch all of it.
YouHaveFailedMeForTheLastTimeAdmiral
I am as well haha
xXOccamsChainsawXx
Lucifer is a new favorite of mine.
Rimanna
After seeing Lucifer in The Sandman, I think it would have been amazing if Simon Baker played Lucifer.
whiskeyRN
Just reminded me of The Mentalist, missed that show.
Rimanna
Yeah, I want to watch it again, but I really disliked the way they ended it.
whiskeyRN
Actually was thinking the same. Just finished Westworld and nothing else seems good.
Rimanna
Tbh I'm really just waiting for Better Call Saul to return

Such a fun show to watch!
BurakAgdas
Does satan solve it every episode?
xrufus7x
He is more there to keep the cases moving forward. He is essentially ex machina personified.
Aunismith
He actually rarely solves it as he's not looking to solve, unless it benefits him. Or he wants to know their motivation.
youredoinggreat
Fun fact: My Grandma hand painted the Russian dolls in the storage locker in season 1
candystud
So cool, but i would like to meet the person that did the wings
youredoinggreat
Same here. Too bad they were only used for a couple episodes
SqueakShow
That is indeed a fun fact.
AntivanMilkSandwich2
Oh that's the coolest! Does your grandma do a lot of art? Could you share that with us in a post or something? (Also hug grandma from us)
youredoinggreat
I could definetly make a post about her art! She paints so much her walls are filled with paintings.
Plooper947
Would love to see that!
IceVamp
I'm not sure I can forgive making the amazing g.novels into a buddy cop show!
TigerofDoom
As far as I underdtood it, it is Not the book made into a show, but Based on it. Meaning they took the Main idea (Lucifer decides to take(1)
TigerofDoom
(2) a vacation) and made their whole own thing with It. Like Yes Man: The book tells a totally different Story, just the Main idea is same.
dex2775
It's a good series in it's own right.
Stabbadabbadoo
I have tried to watch it many times, but all I see is red rage after a few minutes when remembering what it's based off of.
0rpheus
Don't call the comics graphic novels. Especially when the writers hate that term.
IceVamp
They do? Why?
0rpheus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_novel#Criticism_of_the_term
MrMarston
Thus it's like saying that comics aren't really a respectable art form (which that is bullshit)
MrMarston
People typically apply the term "graphic novel" to disassociate the work from comics.
MrMarston
I think it has something to do with the validity of comics themselves as an art form.
Daveh0411
I like the Man in High Castle but it is disturbing to see America as its portrayed in the show
berlinson
Because it's so close to becoming reality.
Stabbadabbadoo
The most scary part is the normality of life when you see it - Normal families saying "Heil Hitler!" instead of good morning when meeting.
dadof2as
Or the "snow" out west, just running the ovens today.
ButterfaceTaintClown
It imagines what life would be like if Trump had won the election. Oh JEEZ.
pseudonymforthepurposeofremaininganonymous
That's the point, isn't it? To point out just how people rationalize these horrible things... as well as show how easy it would be 1/2
pseudonymforthepurposeofremaininganonymous
for these ideas to become a part of mainstream thinking. With the 2016 election, I would argue it is more relevant than ever. 2/2
manstein92
Cos Trump is literally Hitler, right? :D
pseudonymforthepurposeofremaininganonymous
So far? It's following the exact same pattern.
manstein92
Hitler wasn't exactly playing by the rules when it came to elections. Now let's see who and which party committed fraud at present time(2/1)
TheFoxCouncil
Because wee should always be concerned with demagoguery and nationalism
malewithpaleale
That's the reason I like the show, it feels so real that you actually feel sad about the situation of America. With just change in one 1/2
malewithpaleale
Outcome of a war could make a country from the most powerful country to a ruin 2/2
spicepoet
the puppet government is mentioned briefly when they talk about how things turned against the jews in boston.
Tiis
Different outcome wouldn't have done that.
AbstractBettaFish
1/ What bothered me the most is how it showed the US is annexed by those respective powers rather than having friendly puppet governments
YouJustSayBingo
Um in the lore of the MITHC it is a puppet government. They just don't mention the pol. system in the shiw
AbstractBettaFish
/2 installed like they did in most other conquered countries. That part just feels silly to me. But maybe because I AM a historian?
malewithpaleale
I think they just wrote it this way to make it interesting, if they went too much with history a lot of people may not have been hooked.
manstein92
It's a fictious story not a documentary :D
OzmaAsimov
Fair, but what is a more potent image? A puppet gov't, or a U.S. flag with an embedded swastika? It's all about making the audience feel it.
