What's the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have 'found their audience' but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

I nearly didn't watch Am I Being Unreasonable because it appeared to centre around a developmentally challenged wee boy, and the trailer looked like it would just be him making sarky remarks

Couldn't have been more wrong. Fantastic twisting story, often hilarious, and the kid was nowhere near as prominent or annoying as expected.

Also Daisy May Cooper is just legendary anyway

Highly recommended, but I think a lot of people didn't watch it for the same reason I nearly didn't

I’m late, but Six Feet Under is the best show ever made. Ever. It’s perfect. The ending is the best ending to a show ever. Ever.

Even my partner, who was in school to become a mortician, hasn’t heard of it. So we sat down and watched the whole thing together. I had seen it all before. We cried together.

Go watch Six Feet Under.

(Also it’s got Gay Dexter which is great)

Series: 'dream on' , 'profit' and my favorite: 'nowhere man' .

Movies: 'blood in, blood out' and a french comedy (my goat), 'les parasites'.

Videogames: 'machiavelli the prince', 'gazillionaire', 'mashed', 'battleborn'

I'll add some when i'll remember :)

Farscape was an absolutely fantastic show with one of the best villains ever. Characters were well thought out, they had motivations you could understand and showed character growth. Highly recommend for anyone who hasn't seen it.
