    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.

      Oh man, Ask a Ninja just unlocked a core memory that I had buried. What a perfect example of early Internet comedy.

      Space above and beyond died too young. It was such an awesome scifi show with some really mind blowing good episodes

        Gosh I was gonna say “perfect”. Though to be fair I haven’t rewatched Being Erica and it did happen at exactly that time on my life, so was very relatable.

        Due South is a treasure. No notes.

        Disagree for them flirting under the radar or you wouldn’t recommend them or both?

          Due south was pretty big and so was being Erica but I wouldn’t put it up there with corner gas or trailer park boys. Those changed lives.

    The Leftovers - 2% of the worlds population just vanishes. Enough to freak people out but not cause the complete collapse of civilization.

    The Endgame - High class criminal commits crimes by way of getting herself arrested. There’s only 1 season. Ignore the last ~10 minutes of the last episode and the story wraps up fine.

    Counterpart - Mid-level bureaucrat finds out there’s a doorway to a parallel dimension with whom the world’s been in a secret cold war

    If you like Severence, you really need to see Dollhouse. Only 2 seasons, complete story. Slow start, but it doesn’t go where you expect, it’s a complete story, and Dichen Lachman (Gemma Scout) plays basically the same role.

      I feel like the end of season 2 got wonky because they found out they were getting cancelled. They did make it work with the little time they had left.

      As far as I can remember, Dichen Lachman has never been in anything that wasn’t science fiction. Altered Carbon, The Last Ship, Dollhouse, and Severance. I’d check her imdb but it would ruin my wierd fanboy theory.

    Corner Gas, brilliant comedy about a tiny Saskatchewan town set around a gas station that is connected to a diner and the oddball people that live there.

    You’ll come for the quaint setting, stay for the Jackass screaming Oscar.

    Raised by Wolves. It was killed by HBO around the time of the discovery merger thing, but was a fully written (creator originally wrote it as a book, and then made it into a screenplay) and unique show. Produced by and has some directing from Ridley Scott.

    The show follows two androids, Mother and Father, raising a human child alone on a desolate planet after fleeing a dying earth controlled by hi-tech zealots. This new home might be far more related to them than they realize, and maybe not always so desolate. It blends mysticism and sci-fi in a really fun way, and I will never not be angry I don’t get to see how it ends.
