Just thinking of what I've seen recently, this is what I like and why:
- Gravity Falls: Weird/Fun show
- The Owl house: Same as above
- For All Mankind: Cool Sci-fi show about "what if America didn't win the space race and it never stopped"
- Final Space: Funny space show with some real emotion
- Hazbin Hotel: Quirky show about demons (adult themed)
- Inside Job: Another funny animated show, sadly cancelled before 3rd season
- The last of us: A great re-tale on the game I love

I loved Severance too. I don't usually go to film for my sci-fi cravings though.
For shows, I really like that just casual kinda mundane tone that sort of parodies reality. Home Movies is great, Bob's Burgers (the earlier seasons were better for this, but I'm still watching through them). Family Guy has those moments every now and then, although I wouldn't call it one of my top shows by any means.
My favorite show is probably Steven Universe. Everything about it was so artistically done; especially the soundtrack. Of the realm of kids/teens shows that were designed for the whole family, Steven Universe is one of the few that I personally think had a great and satisfying ending.
What We Do In The Shadows and Letterkenny.
I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships.
Reply, 1988
It is a Korean drama where each episode focuses on a different character, all living on the same street in Seoul in 1988. I recommend it to everyone as my favourite show but especially for your preference described above. You feel each character's struggles and successes. The way the show develops the characters through their relationships with their families and friends is outstanding.
I really enjoyed both shows as well. You might enjoy Silo which is a pretty solid recent sci-fi show I can recommend. Andor is also excellent, it's hands down my favorite thing from the Star Wars universe. Farscape is also absolutely fantastic. It starts out a bit slow, but it's absolutely amazing once it gets going. Also enjoyed Love Death and Robots, they took a bunch of short sci-fi stories and make episodes out of each. Firefly is another excellent show.
I like your thinking about being part of the team.
I personally like The Office, Parks & Rec, and South Park. I’ve watched them all over and over again, they never get old to me. So I guess my favorite shows are in the comedy genre because I can rewatch them an endless amount of times.
I’ve tried a few episodes of each The Expanse and Severance but I didn’t get too far before I started losing interest. I don’t recall why I lost interest. I should probably give them another go because I do often hear good stuff about them.
Other than comedy, I like Industry, I absolutely loved Midnight Mass (watched it twice), Ozark, Insecure (partly comedy), Black Mirror, and I’m sure there’s quite a few I’m missing.
You might like Superstore as well. Similar to Office & Parks. Give it a couple of episodes to warm up to the characters, because the main guy is a little annoying at first.

Happy!. The perfect mix of black comedy, violence, and weird central alien stuff.

Right now? Enjoying Preacher, that seems like it would suit you.
Ever? That has to be Dr. Who. I watched it as a kid and watched the newer ones with my kids.
The Haunting of Bly Manor. I think it's beautifully tragic. 🥲 And I really connected with their protrayl of grief. A close runner up would be The Haunting of the Hill House.
- The Wire
- Breaking Bad
- The Blacklist, although it got ridiculous.
- Sherlock BBC Benedict Bundersnatch
- Better Call Saul
- The Ozarks
- Succession
- Severance
I've watched every one of those shows, except the Blacklist, and would agree that they are my favorite shows.
I guess I should watch The Blacklist.

I like animation, though I mostly watch anime and donghua (Chinese animation). My favourites on that front actually tend to be pretty epic adventure stories, or total tragedies with a happy ending or not (á la Fate/Zero or such).

I like political satire. On that front, I always mention the animated police comedy Pasila.
