Brooklyn 99:

This comedy is hilarious and heart-felt and absolute proof that humour doesn’t need to be offensive or tasteless to be great.

The characters and their friendships are amazingly well developed, they are all so relatable. And there’s great diversity without adhering to stereotypes that can crop up in some shows of its ilk.

It’s sweet and fluffy whilst also tackling serious issues brilliantly.

Most of all it’s fun!

 

Good Omens:

This show is divine!

Lol. Seriously though, it’s an absolutely delicious, delectable piece.  

 

Free Solo:

This is an amazing documentary. And I say this as someone who really, really isn’t into this sort of thing. I think it’s better to go in not knowing, so just go watch it!

 

Utopia:

So dark and so amazing.

 

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective agency

Am I meant to be explaining these?

 

Westworld

Yes.

 

Shadowhunters

Oh, okay then.

 

Firefly

How many shows can you name that knock their first season out of the park? How many shows can you name that are cancelled after one season and become a phenomenon? This show has absolutely earned its place. In just one season of episodes, it explores so much, gives us such amazing characterisations and stories that we can’t help but fall in love with these space pirates. Also, did I mention, SPACE PIRATES.

A genius on the run from the government who juju’d her brain. An adorable mechanic. A thief and a priest and a pilot. And an ambassador hooker who is the most respectable of the lot.

This has GINA TORRES in it. And NATHAN FILLION.

We loved Westworld with huge amounts of crazy love. Is it coming back for a third round??

There is, have to wait until 2020 though, and the trailer makes it look like a completely different show, similar in tone maybe but different.
