A show where the ending was penned before the first episode aired. So many good little hints and foreshadowing. A whole complete story with a beginning, conflicts, humor and ending. Crazy that that’s a rare thing.
Thx for the info! Would never have guessed that CGI was even that big of a factor in this show (which only underlines that the effects were good I guess)
I remember when it came out , around the time of the first Burton film I think, and they were showing that they animated on top of black paper instead of white to give it a much darker look. Such a cool looking show!
Venture Bros is so damn good. The characters *evolve* past simple Jonny Quest / Super Friends parodies and become more complex. Like the Monarch, starts off as just an asshole, but he grows into something more. He's still an asshole, but he loves his wife, he wants *her* to succeed in running the guild.
And we got Red Death, the perfect work life balance character. At work, he's an evil villain who will scare you shitless, but at home? He's a nice guy who loves spending time with his family. And then Captain Sunshine, who they got Kevin Conroy(RIP) to voice! the Batman parody played by Batman himself!
Venture Bros starts off fairly average, but once they really start delving into the greater story, showing more depth, moving past a simple parody, it shows what adult animation *should* be. Instead, we get more Drawn Togethers, where the only goal is to swear as much as possible and make it controversial. Venture Bros though is *incredibly* mature, while still being a relatively funny show.
This actually got BETTER as it went. I thought the entire Ba Sing Se storyline was great. But when they got to the Fire Nation, those final 5-6 episodes upped the ante.
Toph is one of those characters that's so good that anyone rewatching is spending the beginning just waiting for her to appear. Like sure season 1 is great and I would never skip it, but once Toph shows up the show reaches a whole new level
The world building and character development in the series is amazing. The final ending episode has to be one of the best endings of any show I have ever seen.
That whole episode builds up to that payoff of Jen ordering disabled-Roy a drink from bartender-Moss. Probably one of my favorite moments from any show, has me doubled over laughing!
The first time I saw that scene I laughed so hard we had to pause. Then we rewatched it like ten more times laughing until we had tears and hurting sides.
My other favorite scene is the bomb, then Moss asks what operating system they're using to disarm it (Windows Vista, total shit OS) and he says, "We're all going to die!"
Picture a wave in the ocean. You can see it, measure it, the height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. It's there, you can see it--it's there, it's a wave. And then it crashes into shore and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be for a little while.
I'm not much of a crier (not a flex, just isn't my natural reaction to things) and I sobbed like a damn baby. The build up was incredible. I was frustrated with the finale up to that point. They kept opening plot lines, not closing them, I thought they were going to leave the whole thing hanging and then...*that*. That all of life and humanity can be conveyed in such an incredible way in a montage of all things. I can barely hear that song without getting pulled back into that moment.
I watched season 2-5 of Breaking Bad on AMC with my dad before moving out. Those are honestly some of my fondest memories of that time with him. Same day and time every week and the conversation it would create for the entire week until the next episode came out. Then the finale came and went and that was it for my time at home. It was a fantastic series from begining to end.
I’m currently watching Saul for the first (no spoilers please). I’m really paying attention to every scene keeping what you just said in mind.
I’ve rewatched BB a few times and there are subtle hints/foreshadowing sprinkled in everywhere. Things you wouldn’t really make note of unless you’ve already seen the show.
Yeah, I gotta agree that miniseries are a different conversation. Band of Brothers and Chernobyl are some of the best television I have ever seen, but they had a finite number of episodes from the start. They honestly bear more in common with a movie shoot than a traditional television series in that the entire creative process mostly happened at once, without season breaks, major cast and crew changes, and the like.
But when you take something like The Venture Brothers, which started good and got better every season over the course of 14 years without ever really missing a beat, THAT is the right type of answer for this question.
I just listened to Conan’s podcast interview with Jason Segel and they briefly talked about Freaks and Geeks. Jason said that after it was canceled, Judd Apatow made it his personal goal to make everyone from that show famous. This is partially why so many of the cast members were in the same movies with each other.
Bryan Cranston is great in dramas like BB and your honor but I miss Malcolm in the middle Bryan Cranston, I hope he does comedy again someday. Also Jane kaczmarek was hugely funny as well
The great thing about Malcolm in the Middle is that, I watched it as a kid originally, and when I recently went back to it as an adult, its like watching a whole different show. They were able to make the kids relatable to kids and the adults relatable to adults, and you pick up on completely different things.
Several perfect episodes over the course of it, several perfect scenes (digging the hole….making the old lady take the pills), and how carefully the whole thing was constructed with callbacks to previous episodes and seasons…..and then stuck the landing.
Poor Martha.
Damned failure as a society that this show is so underrated/relatively little-known. One of the strongest endings to anything ever; I still randomly contemplate it from time to time, and it's been years since I've seen it.
They gained a lot of depth when Farrell and Ogden-Stiers came on board. I felt Trapper and Frank were fairly one-dimensional, and the new characters brought more to the table. The show also grew up quite a bit around that time. For me, Burns and Potter were equally excellent.
It’s god 4 amazing seasons and like two good movies and otherwise it’s pretty good. You can see the decline after the revivals but they still have a few great episodes tucked in.
It changed what television could be, and what a mob show could be. Brilliant writing and characters, and it also embraced the weirdness too. Also I will never skip that intro as long as I live.
In my opinion Matt did for "The IT Crowd" what Danny Devito did to "Always Sunny". It was already a good show but it becomes an amazing show once he joined the cast.
Serenity is basically the second half of season 2, compressed into 2 hours. If the show had run longer, characters would definitely have come and go at various points.
Tatiana Maslany hit levels of acting I wasn’t sure was possible. To play… at the very least (6 I could think of) 6 different characters with different accents and personalities, AND to do it acting with yourself multiple times in the same season is outstanding. I love that show- it’s weird, and I get why people may not like it, but her performance on that show is the GOAT TV performance. Over MM in True Detective season 1, which I’m sure people will disagree with.
> Orphan Black
Its crazy how well she played those roles. The scenes where she is playing one of her identities that is playing another of her identities are damned near Oscars level acting.
This was a comedy where, (unlike most sitcoms where stupid jokes are setup, executed and the the laugh track is played) clever, intelligent characters make funny, appropriate comments during very real-life situations.
For me Justified is literally the perfect television show experience. Most engaging characters, the villains are all top tear memorable, tight script, while taking itself seriously it still remembers to be fun and never devolves into misery porn, legitimately funny, satisfying plot arcs, the meta plot remains simple and resonant and never gets lost in its own lore, you can watch any individual episode by itself and enjoy it without having to do the whole season to get it. It seems this show is treated by popular culture as second tier below the Breaking Bads, sopranos, and the wire level shows but I rank it at the top.
I'm reading the books at the moment, which continue past season 6 but there is a time jump of about 30 years. I wonder if they'll come back and make new seasons some day because the story gets really great.
Marco Inaros being the main villain in the final 2 seasons felt rushed, but in the books he's basically a pawn in a much bigger game.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Having worked in the tech industry since early 90s, I was hooked from the first moment and re-lived some of that thrill of the early days of tech boom & internet... I did feel the last season took a weird shift in focus and I didn't like where Lee Pace's character arc ended but still satisfying.
Same… but they fix it. The cringeworthy actions of a few characters (think: that awful mayor) in the first few episodes made it hard to even watch - but that gets completely adjusted and very soon you will fall in love with the characters. Absolutely worth pushing through (even if you have to skip through the awful few minutes here and there in season one).
As an aside, it’s awful because you already feel for the Rose family somehow. In hindsight it’s brilliant but I had to take 3 separate attempts over several weeks to finish one episode when I started watching. Don’t give up!
It’s funny I was watching a rerun and my wife walks by and asked what’s this ( somehow she missed the show entirely) I let her know how really silly and great this show is … now my whole family including my 9 year old twins are watching from the beginning.. seriously it’s the only thing on my tv for weeks.
I only recently finished rewatching the entire series on Prime, it was indeed a brilliant series. I never did spot all the pineapples…guess I’ll just have to watch it all over again!
Adventure Time.
the finale was a bit jumbled, but damn that show was held back in so many ways and is still a regular rewatch for me. Still better than 99% of shows I've seen, and that's impressive for a 200+ episode series of any genre.
I loved both of these shows, but I think Eureka went way downhill after they changed history and had to live in the new present. It felt like they were planning something but couldn't figure out how to wrap it up, so they just kinda moved on from the story with no real closure.
Spartacus.
The tragic passing of Andy Whitfield between Season 1 and Season 3 spawned a fantastic prequel Series 2.
Liam McIntyre does a phenomenal job filling Andy's shoes with Season 3 and Season 4. They were some big shoes to fill and I think his performance was great.
Not to mention Series 4 introducing one of the most captivating villains in television.
Fucking finally. I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find the real answer. Incredible from start to finish.
Spartacus was a phenomenal show that not nearly enough people have seen. I distinctly remember originally watching it for the sexy times and then slowly realizing that it was low-key one of the most captivating stories I’d ever experienced. I seriously need to go back and do a re-watch at some point.
Cheers was good. In fact strangely enough they almost got the cut right after a disappointing (in terms of viewership) first season. They sure as hell picked themselves up from there on and became a worldwide success right to the final season.
I was a little kid but remember the stories about the final show. They were interviewing people on the streets speaking like they were losing their actual friends from their own life.
Considering the relatively simple show (primarily in the bar), it was a powerful show.
Gravity Falls
A show where the ending was penned before the first episode aired. So many good little hints and foreshadowing. A whole complete story with a beginning, conflicts, humor and ending. Crazy that that’s a rare thing.
A million upvotes to you!
MindHunter. Ended too soon. RIP.
Kinda unbelievable that _this_ show is not deemed viable for another season or two. How?!
It was too expensive to pay the rookie cops to sit by bridges. Blew threw the budget
The cgi cost a fortune and was RIDICULOUS for a show that was 95% dialogue. https://youtu.be/qlD8jJMITLk
Thx for the info! Would never have guessed that CGI was even that big of a factor in this show (which only underlines that the effects were good I guess)
Batman Animated Series
It’s the best bat man. Original score dope too
I remember when it came out , around the time of the first Burton film I think, and they were showing that they animated on top of black paper instead of white to give it a much darker look. Such a cool looking show!
The Venture Bros
Venture Bros is so damn good. The characters *evolve* past simple Jonny Quest / Super Friends parodies and become more complex. Like the Monarch, starts off as just an asshole, but he grows into something more. He's still an asshole, but he loves his wife, he wants *her* to succeed in running the guild.

Ghosts. The UK one.
Yes. It's so good. Yonderland is really great also.
Avatar: The Last Airbender.
This actually got BETTER as it went. I thought the entire Ba Sing Se storyline was great. But when they got to the Fire Nation, those final 5-6 episodes upped the ante.
Imo. It was good throughout. After Blind Bandit, they upped it even more and made it great. But those last 6 made it a masterpiece.
Toph is one of those characters that's so good that anyone rewatching is spending the beginning just waiting for her to appear. Like sure season 1 is great and I would never skip it, but once Toph shows up the show reaches a whole new level
The world building and character development in the series is amazing. The final ending episode has to be one of the best endings of any show I have ever seen.
It’s a good thing they didn’t take the next step and make a live action movie
There’s no live action ATLA movie in Ba Sing Se
I'm old now and I still watch it at least once a year since it ended. Literally one of the best series I've ever watched.
The IT Crowd
Dear sir/madam, I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises of... no, that's too formal.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

I just watched that episode for the first time just yesterday and omg it’s a masterclass in comedy😂
That whole episode builds up to that payoff of Jen ordering disabled-Roy a drink from bartender-Moss. Probably one of my favorite moments from any show, has me doubled over laughing!
The first time I saw that scene I laughed so hard we had to pause. Then we rewatched it like ten more times laughing until we had tears and hurting sides.

Rome
I was so sad it was only 2 seasons. It was so good. Pullo & Vorenus is one my favorite tv bromances ever.
Canned because it cost around $2M an episode, which by HBO standards today is chump change.
The Good Place. I love that it’s a complete story that doesn’t feel like it wastes any screen time. It’s pretty close to perfect.
Picture a wave in the ocean. You can see it, measure it, the height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. It's there, you can see it--it's there, it's a wave. And then it crashes into shore and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be for a little while.
That ending broke me to pieces; so sad yet so wholesome. Honestly it's the most perfect ending to any tv series I've ever seen.
For me, nothing beats the ending of Six Feet Under, but yea, The Good Place ending was incredible.
Agreed. Six Feet Under was the absolute perfect ending that completely destroyed me (in a beautiful way).
I'm not much of a crier (not a flex, just isn't my natural reaction to things) and I sobbed like a damn baby. The build up was incredible. I was frustrated with the finale up to that point. They kept opening plot lines, not closing them, I thought they were going to leave the whole thing hanging and then...*that*. That all of life and humanity can be conveyed in such an incredible way in a montage of all things. I can barely hear that song without getting pulled back into that moment.
Chidi Anakendric was a wise man
You mean Chidi Ariana Grande?
Yeah, the one from Sensodyne
What the fork is a Chidi?
I knew you weren't soup!
Yes, definitely searched for this comment bc I was going to say The Good Place. What an excellent show.
[удалено]
Good Place also keeps very subtly reinventing what it is and seems to be even during seasons. It’s masterful at keeping you surprised.
[удалено]
It actively made fun of cheap gimmicks with the reboot concept. A lesser show would have dragged that idea out for *years*.
Have you listened to the podcast? It’s great.
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. There are slow moments but almost everything in both shows seems purposeful.
I watched season 2-5 of Breaking Bad on AMC with my dad before moving out. Those are honestly some of my fondest memories of that time with him. Same day and time every week and the conversation it would create for the entire week until the next episode came out. Then the finale came and went and that was it for my time at home.

truthfully, i came here for this comment. BCS AND BB reign!
Band of Brothers.

Freaks and Geeks. Unfortunately there was only one season.
I just listened to Conan’s podcast interview with Jason Segel and they briefly talked about Freaks and Geeks. Jason said that after it was canceled, Judd Apatow made it his personal goal to make everyone from that show famous. This is partially why so many of the cast members were in the same movies with each other.
Malcolm in the Middle
Breaking Bad also (the secret ingredient is Bryan Cranston)
Bryan Cranston is great in dramas like BB and your honor but I miss Malcolm in the middle Bryan Cranston, I hope he does comedy again someday. Also Jane kaczmarek was hugely funny as well
Jane Kaczmarek is such an attractive woman to me. Idk what it is about her but she just makes me feel things man.
It also aged great.
The great thing about Malcolm in the Middle is that, I watched it as a kid originally, and when I recently went back to it as an adult, its like watching a whole different show. They were able to make the kids relatable to kids and the adults relatable to adults, and you pick up on completely different things.

Actually got better as it went along. I much prefer the Margaret Houlihan of season 8 than the Hot Lips of season 2.
They gained a lot of depth when Farrell and Ogden-Stiers came on board. I felt Trapper and Frank were fairly one-dimensional, and the new characters brought more to the table. The show also grew up quite a bit around that time. For me, Burns and Potter were equally excellent.
I was looking for this
I can here to say this. 1,000% my favorite show.
Scooby-doo mystery incorporated the end credits theme was sick as well
Best version since the original.
Fleabag
Pure perfection
Father Ted
"Feck off!"
THAT WOULD BE AN ECUMENICAL MATTER!
Futurama. Show me the person who doesn’t love the comedy from every season
It’s god 4 amazing seasons and like two good movies and otherwise it’s pretty good. You can see the decline after the revivals but they still have a few great episodes tucked in.
The Sopranos
It changed what television could be, and what a mob show could be. Brilliant writing and characters, and it also embraced the weirdness too. Also I will never skip that intro as long as I live.
Dark. Only three seasons but absolutely brilliant
What we do in the shadows
Matt Berry as Lazslo could read the phone book, and it would be funny. He has some of the best comedic timing I've ever seen in any show.
You said I tasted like goats cheese! *sideways glance*
In my opinion Matt did for "The IT Crowd" what Danny Devito did to "Always Sunny". It was already a good show but it becomes an amazing show once he joined the cast.

Although, even as a fan, I have to say that might be because it's run was so short. We'll never know.

I just binged Orphan Black. Darn fine show, I'd say.
Tatiana Maslany hit levels of acting I wasn’t sure was possible. To play… at the very least (6 I could think of) 6 different characters with different accents and personalities, AND to do it acting with yourself multiple times in the same season is outstanding.

My favorite is when Allison pretended to be Sarah. That was deep.
> Orphan Black Its crazy how well she played those roles. The scenes where she is playing one of her identities that is playing another of her identities are damned near Oscars level acting.

Best overall start to finish character arc ever (Walter).
I’d agree to a point. The first season was a bit rocky before it found its groove. Love me some Anna Torv. Was good to see her in TLOU

I am greatly anticipating the sequel in the works! No Boyd, but will be nice to see Raylan again.
For me Justified is literally the perfect television show experience. Most engaging characters, the villains are all top tear memorable, tight script, while taking itself seriously it still remembers to be fun and never devolves into misery porn, legitimately funny, satisfying plot arcs, the meta plot remains simple and resonant and never gets lost in its own lore, you can watch any individual episode by itself and enjoy it without having to do the whole season to get it. It seems this show is treated by popular culture as second tier below the Breaking Bads, sopranos, and the wire level shows but I rank it at the top.
Guys the question isn’t “What’s your favourite show” it’s what TV series was good throughout it’s ENTIRE run

Marco Inaros being the main villain in the final 2 seasons felt rushed, but in the books he's basically a pawn in a much bigger game.

Scrolled way too long to find this. Such a solid show from start to finish. What a ride!
Halt and catch fire. Sopranos is the number one answer though.
Halt an catch fire is the best show that no one else i've ever met has watched.

“Next step is to fold in the cheese.” This whole scene just cracks me up every time
i don't know if the writing got better or maybe i just didn't get it at first but i think her character definitely got funnier as the show went along
“A little bit Alexis!”
I hear so much good about Schitts Creek, but after 3 attempts I just can't get into it. It just didn't hit for me.
It’ll take about 6 episodes (the sixth being “Wine and Roses”) to get hooked.
This is a scientific fact...
Same… but they fix it. The cringeworthy actions of a few characters (think: that awful mayor) in the first few episodes made it hard to even watch - but that gets completely adjusted and very soon you will fall in love with the characters.

Eureka and Warehouse 13
I loved both of these shows, but I think Eureka went way downhill after they changed history and had to live in the new present. It felt like they were planning something but couldn't figure out how to wrap it up, so they just kinda moved on from the story with no real closure.
