Dunno if you're looking for streaming-only, but Black Books has always stood out as one of the more offbeat shows I've had the pleasure of watching.

Dylan Moran's stand-up is even better and a bunch is available on YouTube.
I'm flexible!
- Our Flag Means Death (HBO)
- Avenue 5 (HBO)
- Russian Doll (Netflix)
Russian Doll was SO good. I thought I'd hate the second season because the first was so perfect, and I could not see how the concept could continue, but it was even better.
Good Omens on prime, amazing show, two seasons in and there better be a third. Followed an angel and demon trying to save the world basically. Based on book by Pratchett and Gaiman.
Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix, a Korean show, English dub. Attorney with autism. Turned out a lot better than I thought it would, hit some hard topics too.
The Good Place on Netflix. If you haven't seen it yet it is well worth a watch. A take on the afterlife. Completed show with an amazing ending.
Derry Girls on Netflix
Vice Principals on (HBO) Max
The Righteous Gemstones on (HBO) Max
I think I might be the only person who watched 'Slip', a Roku Original (no, really).
It's one of those shows where one person just casually writes, stars and directs 7 episodes of telly like it's no big deal. Anyway, it's worth a watch, next time you're perusing Roku's extensive Originals slate.
Twisted Metal on Peacock is stupid fun. Reservation Dogs on Hulu (I know) is great and worth a trip to the high seas.
Reservation dogs is on Disney+ in Canada, and yes it's great. Worth a watch.
Well someone told me how to get there finally haha
VPN + Seedbox is a great combo
Do you have Roku? I was just looking around for something the other day. And watched a few Roku originals. Here are a few I really enjoyed!
βDie Hartβ 1 Kevin Hart is hilarious
βDie Harterβ 2 heβs STILL hilarious
βNowβ comedy Dave Franco, others
βDummyβ comedy Anna Kendrick (definitely TVMA)
βFlipped β Will Forte, Kaitlin Olson etc.. surprisingly hilarious!
These are all short seasons and short episodes so they are fun and quick to watch
I think I'll get it. I hear good things.
Damn for my non-US tastes all those look like distilled excrement π
Roku Channel "The Shape of Pasta" with chef Evan Funk. Bro just goes around Italy befriending grannies in eight-minute episides.
Yahoo original "Other Space". Karan Soni stars alongside a bunch of other people you'll recognize from other Paul Feig projects and Lily the cellphone girl.
Netflix's "MANIAC" was wild. Don't watch it with your parents.
Not the answer to your question, but just piracy stream man
Believe it or not I have no idea how.
There are lots of ways to learn, but honestly I think the safest way if you aren't technically inclined is to ask a friend to show you how. It's really easy to get started if you are motivated to learn, but if some random person on the internet tells you how they do it, you'll probably have trouble doing it yourself since everyone's setup is a bit different.
Basically if you have a friend or family member who is good with technology, ask them if they know anything about torrenting TV or movies, and get them to show you how they do it. That way you'll have a similar setup to your friend and you can ask them for advice if you ever have issues.
The piracy Lemmy is also a good resource: [email protected]
That sounds doable.
Sue Perkins Perfectly Legal
Amidst the flood of Korean tv shows on netflix, there are some pretty good ones. And no, Iβm not talking about Squid Game. If you like drama thrillers, I can recommend:
Beyond Evil
Extra Curricular
D.P.
Korean shows are generally longer and have more episodes, so it takes a little getting used to if you arenβt. And as much as possible, watch with subs, not dub.
Those sound amazing. I like Midnight Diner a lot.
From what I've seen most of the K dramas on Netflix have 8 to 16 episodes and tell a complete story which makes them the perfect length if you don't want to commit to a show spanning hundreds of episodes. Some of my favorites in addition to Beyond Evil and Extracurricular which were both top notch:
My Name
Itaewon Class
Kingdom
The Glory
Stranger
Sweet Home
Law School
Hotel del Luna
Bloodhounds (currently watching)
These are all over the map thematically so hope you find one or more you enjoy!
Yep, Iβve seen half of those as well. Bloodhounds is good but it falls off a cliff on the last 2 episodes, sadly. You should still finish it though, just to conclude the story.
Dark Matter and Killjoys
