Survivors (1975)

It concerns the plight of a group of people who have survived an apocalyptic plague pandemic, which was accidentally released by a Chinese scientist and quickly spread across the world via air travel. Referred to as "The Death", the plague kills approximately 4,999 out of every 5,000 human beings on the planet within a matter of weeks of being released.

So good! They tried to remake it later, but the remake was awful.

The 80s cocaine fever dream that was Otherworld.

People that think Johnathan Banks only recently got good with Breaking Bad need to watch as the Monkeyboy puts his whole pussy into a villian role that most folks won't even touch nowadays.

Blunt Talk starring Patrick Stewart

Avenue 5 starring Hugh Laurie

The Patriot on prime is pretty much perfect. It's an excellent drama, very engaging and has some great comedy moments. Absolutely gutted it was cancelled after 2 flawless seasons

Whites

One season, six 30-minute episodes.

British comedy set in a hotel kitchen starring Alan Davies, Darren Boyd, Katherine Parkinson. It's witty, silly, and has a ton of charm.

1670

It is brilliant

Kaiba. It’s anime, but if you like conceptual sci-fi fantasy about the nature of the self and memory then this would probably be up your alley.

It takes place in a world where it’s possible to transfer your mind to a new body and sell memories, and it explores the obvious implications of that under capitalism. It’s a mix of dark (but not grimdark) and hopeful; it doesn’t spoon-feed you and is comfortable leaving you with existential questions. I’ve watched it twice and got something new out of it the second time around, and honestly I’d watch it a third time.

Most have been mentioned here so I’ll name some others that stuck with me

Travelers - great time travel show Lie to Me - short lived pseudo science show Limitless - one of the few series reboots from movies I enjoyed. Also short lived

I personally don’t know anyone who has watched any of these.
