  • A&E’s Nero Wolfe
  • Agatha Christie’s Poirot (with David Suchet)
  • The Expanse
  • Star Trek: TNG
  • Fleabag (season 2 is a masterpiece, and I don’t throw that word around)
  • For All Mankind
  • Archane (season 1 is another masterpiece)
  • Penny Dreadful (it dips in quality in the later seasons, but worth it for the Frankenstein’s monster story alone)

EDIT:

  • Coupling (UK) - Thr first two seasons
  • Keeping Up Appearances
  • IT Crowd

Poirot, Coupling and IT Crowd are some of the best telly ever created in my opinion.

I started Arcane, and pretty soon I felt like they were just ripping off a lot from the 80’s Shuiten and Peeter’s graphic novels, that I just quit.

OK. It’s a French animation studio that wanted to give their show a distinctively European feel. It makes sense that they would pull aesthetic inspiration from European graphic novels.

Disco Elysium is one of the greatest video games ever made, and its aesthetics pull heavily from European graphic novels. It’d be a shame to miss out one either because you feel their art style is inspired by previous works.

If you do decide to watch Arcane, do not binge it. It is meant to be consumed three episodes at a time. My recommendation to anyone reading this is to watch three episodes per day.

Season 2 is rushed jut Season 1 is perfect.

80’s Shuiten and Peeter’s graphic novels

Those seem to borrow Mœbius’ earlier style, which was defining for French and Belgian comics since the seventies. So it’s rather ironic of you to say that it’s S&P who were ‘ripped off’.

I don’t concur. I believe you are talking more of graphic style, while I’m talking more about the worldbuilding, the ambiance, the conceptual, pre-steampunk visual language. While Shuiten is a sort of Ligne Claire extremist, I find Moebius very difficult, if not impossible, to classify. He is often called Ligne Claire, but his style is often very gritty, and his protrayal of movement is clearly inspired by Franquin, the master of movement. Moebius has such an ability to move between styles, while keeping his personality, that makes him very difficult to classify.

I agree with all of this expect FAM. I wanted to love this show. the sci-fi was fun and could get creative and cool but every time they gripped you with a cool idea they gave you 10min of it, left you wanting more then moved on to drama for drama sake for 45min.

I tried for 2 seasons and I think the first episode of 3 and gave up. :(
