    1. FROM (got hooked during the second season. third season is being filmed now. feels reminiscent of LOST but with darker undertones. so far, a frustratingly few answers have been provided, but i’m really rooting for this mystery series. rich characters, great performances and a plot that leaves you trying to figure it all out for days after.)

    2. The Killing (surprisingly intelligent cop drama with excellent character dev and great tension)

    3. The Terror (first season - based off the 1845 arctic voyage in search of a viable northern passage shipping route and the ship’s subsequent abandonment after getting by stuck in the ice. the end jumps the shark a bit but the acting is excellent. the concept, environment and mood throughout is captivating.)

    4. Nathan For You (loved The Rehearsal and The Curse too, but i don’t think he will ever top NFY. plus, he graduated with really good grades)

    5. Mrs. Davis (a lucid acid trip down modernized mythology)

    6. On Becoming a God in Central Florida (brilliant satire)

    7. 12 Monkeys (2015 series. vibrant, gritty sci-fi)

    8. The Bridge (original Danish version)

    9. River (cerebral detective drama starring Stellan Skarsgard)

    10. Waco / The Aftermath (absolutely love Michael Shannon in this respectful retelling of a highly controversial series of events that had a profound impact on american society)

    11. The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart (hard to watch but such an important story. feels like a love letter from past to future generations)

    forgot to include:

    • The Chosen One (2023. subpar reviews but unique, cinematic and worth the watch imo)
    • Midnight Mass
    • Midnight Gospel
    • The Jinx (an unexpected season 2 is now in production)
