I’ve been rewatching my favorites (Mr. Robot, Andor, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) and I’m curious: What is your favorite show of all time? What makes that your favorite?

    Community, followed by Fringe and then Justified.

    Community is my ideal sitcom: weird, experimental, hilarious, and emotional. It was my comfort show for a very long time. My ringtone comes from that show, Professor Professorson’s conspiracy theory ringtone. (Dun dun dunnnnnn)

    Fringe is my ideal sci-fi show: weird, far reaching, and is allowed to reach its end.

    Justified is my ideal cop show: funny and dark, with a great supporting cast.

      Top 5 for me too, but I’d argue it (and Person of Interest) had unfortunately rushed final seasons. Still, gloriously weird, top notch acting, class act writing with some standout moments of utter glory (white tulip, that dandelion poking out to “Only You”, my very favourite thing…). Hmm, shall bump it in my rewatch queue.

        Did you binge the whole thing?

        I love seasons one and two. It never really goes downhill but those two initial seasons are nearly perfect to me.

        If you have also watched Deadwood, you will appreciate them bringing in co-stars from that show here and there.
