- Garth Marenghi's Dark Place
- The Armando Iannucci Shows
- The Adam & Joe Show
Blood. Blood. BLOOD. Blood.
Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place
Now that’s an obscure gem and suddenly I want to hear that 80s synth song from Matt Berry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO-ZGP68-3w
Mr Inbetween is an excellent Aussie show. Haven't found anything else that captures our culture so well.
Not sure where the bar sits for obscure / under the radar. There's plenty of more popular shows I normally recommend.
Keeping it less known I guess:
Sense8 - slow start but cool concept
The goes wrong show - brilliant little piece of British theatre humour. Some great recurring gags
And second another commenter's recommendation of you're the worst as a good laugh.
I did not see Herman's Head mentioned. I've only met one other person that remembers it. Not great in a change-your-doors-of-perception for life, but a fun sitcom from the early '90s.
I remember it, the intro more than the show itself lol.
... And now I'm thinking of the show Night Court lol
4400, but it was a wierd hybrid of superpower humans and dystopian future+ time travelling of mankind, basically in the future the wealthy/aristocratic were living in prisitne cities while everything was a version madmax and judge dredd future. threshold was another one. the "rich people" found out about the scientist going back in tiem to prevent this future, so they sent thier own agents to the past to stop it.
I don't see Dame Judy Dench's masterpiece "As Time Goes By" mentioned often.
It's about a love affair between the acclaimed author of "My Time in Kenya", and his publisher.
(This summary is intentionally reductive to the point of absurdity. But trust me, it's quite good.)
How about two with Rosa Salazar?
Undone on Amazon Prime, a trippy psychological show about a girl (Salazar) exploring the link to her present and her dead father (Bob Odenkirk). It's rotoscoped to add to the trippiness
Brand New Cherry Flavor on Netflix, where an aspiring writer gets her career ruined by a director when she turns down his sexual advances. She makes a deal with a witch to get revenge
The Lost Room.
Not sure where you can find it, though.
Torrents for it are around
It depends so much on one's tastes... But
- Forever
- Street Hawk
- Firefly (not so obscure)
- Travelers
- Hogan's Heroes
- The Greatest American Hero (just for laughs)
I became a big fan of the series "V", specifically the 2000's remake. I think they discontinued the series due to mixed ratings.
