Not true! We've all heard of the communist part...

Oh they don't anymore do they?

We can fix that.

With no regard to how big stuff is/was, because OP hadn't seen Chernobyl.

'Chernobyl' is up there. Brutal indictment of a hypercorrupt dying empire that only cares about power and is built almost entirely on lies contrasted with the people it happens to, who largely embody the ideals their government lies about; the heroism of a dead culture striving to save everyone from some of the fuckers who killed it.

'Andor' star wars, but about antifascism instead of wuxia bullshit or daddy issues. Some of the best TV ever made. Weaves in links to history and obscure star wars apocrypha. It's everything it should be and more with amazing layered deliberate fast-slow-fast pacing. There's a long-payoff joke that is also the serious culmination of the first season's meta-arc (the first season of that show would be about five seasons of anything else) and half the fans didn't even notice.

'Severance' or the ~decade earlier whedon-directed much more sex focused show it was linked to, 'dollhouse' if you need fast pace or a slightly more dramatic version of what the internet is now. Low-scifi corpo-surrealism about the ways we treat identity. The two versions come to very different conclusions.

'Scavengers' reign' beautiful uncanny man-vs-nature space narrative, haunting sound track, amazing in every way that matters.

'Westworld' only season 1. Its About Things. No not just the robots. They left some plot threads unresolved for season 2, but they're not really what's important and each season is exponentially worse, riding the first season's nonstop hitting. Season 2 is still okay I guess.

'daredevil' Netflix version, season 1 only. There's more but its not the same quality.

'Cowboy bebop' everybody's favorite film noir space (neo?)western. Dripping with cool. Remade a few years later in a historically accurate Japan right after the consolidation of the Tokugawa dynasty with arguably 10% less style and 30% tighter production.

'Kaos' though it was left extremely unfinished. High budget modern Greek mythology soup. As gay and misothiest as you would ex0ect if you had actually read any.

'Peacemaker' murder-himbo realizes he might be one of the bad guys while trying to save the world with/from the CIA immediately post-'the suicide squad'.

'Harley Quinn' batman villain fucks around, continues fucking around, occasionally finds out. But lesbianly, and very well written.

'Futurama' fox seasons/original run only. Occasionally heart wrenching SciFi comedy that's not trying to be as edgy as 'rick and Morty' later would. Definitely aged, but smart enough it's aged gracefully.

'True detective' season 1 only. The rest are fine, I guess. Southern Gothic neo-noir ambiguously fantasy.

'Star trek: deep space nine' a space station on the edge of falgsc utopia orbiting space-palestine as the toned down space zios do space-zio things. 90s in all the best ways and very few of the worst.

Or the more woo-scifi version which aired I think simultaneously, 'Babylon 5'.

'Community' very few comedy shows age this well.

'Lovecraft country' endritch horror and american racism standing in frame next to each other, while the arc and the anthology flirt over a meal of 'how to love SciFi as a marginalized person?'. The most beautiful wholesome bed covered in gore you've ever watched 'is this gay?' sex on.

I'll add more later, and there are more certain people need to see but others don't necessarily.

You can be bitchy at a third party together. Make it a bonding experience.

Important reminder: you are not 'supporting artists' when you pay for media.

I live in Los Angeles. I know a lot of art gays. The ones who teach art class and pull down that 'public school teacher' money rent rooms to the ones who work on films with ten figure budgets.

You do not support artists. You fund their exploitation.

I support artists, because I tip cash when I buy coffee.

So while you Jack yourself off about 'supporting artists' by voting with your wallet, I'm gonna use one of those flosser things to get their pubic hair out of my teeth while we look at my favorite Linux ISO's together.
