What's the most perfect TV show you ever saw?

[lartianmartian1]

The Leftovers. I didn't even like it at the start. But dat series finale man. I cannot get it out of my head, even a year later.

EDIT: Oh! And for comedy shows, I am absolutely loving The Good Place. I can't recommend it enough. And I think BoJack Horseman is damn near perfect, even counting those less than stellar first couple episodes.

final space has to be one of the most well put together shows i've watched. it really captures the sense of dread you get when you hear that countdown at the beginning of every episode get closer to 0 and you know how it's probably going to end. it gives the whole series a really melancholy vibe even when the characters are being goofy on screen or there's a good action scene going on. and it plays you until the very last second of the final episode.

the characters are really well developed and it handles the dramatic scenes with them super well. i also appreciated that they showed how the villain's powers are slowly killing him the more he uses them by showing him more decayed every episode. i just really love the attention to detail in general it has. the soundtrack is awesome too.

another i never get sick of watching is brooklyn 99, it's not the most perfect but it has a lot of rewatchability, i've binged it about 3 times.

Yo, props for mentioning Mindhunter! It is excellent. Also, I need to finish Penny Dreadful. I didn't even realize it was finished already after 3 seasons?! Time flies.

[Penni]

It was really short but if I recall correctly, about everyone involved in the project felt the story was done despite only three seasons. Mindhunters sucked me in and kept me from beginning to end.

I just started Brooklyn 99 not too long ago...I had no idea what I was missing

why didn't they just use the laser on the door in the first place

Probably for the same reason They use mirrors to reflect lasers

I think the only downside to it is the weeeeeeeird BillDip fanart, but that's just Tumblr being Tumblr.

My reaction to said fanart:

one of the most confusing childhood memories i have

Hannibal was physically painful to watch at times, the sheer sadistic depravity of it. Then there was the tension. But I never for a second wasn't 100% behind putting myself through it. The acting, the writing, the cinematography, the casting. I don't think masterpiece is too overblown a word when it comes to that show.

[amortelito]

The twilight zone. It was so revolutionary that you can still watch it and get surprised. Even current TV shows are still stealing ideas from it. I have never seen a show that understands humanity so well no matter the timeframe or culture. It shows how the human psyche reacts to isolation, uncertainty, madness, love, etc. This is not only my personal favorite, it was also a very important chapter in fictional storytelling history.

I know exactly what you mean. I honestly don't think I could have watched it if not for the fact my best friend was just as committed to the show. She got me through the episodes I couldn't have watched. I did physically start gagging one episode though. Not fun. XD

Eat the Rude~

I don't watch much TV, but gonna have to go with Over The Garden Wall for me

[Shanny8]

I cant say "a show is the most perfect show', but there are some shows that I really liked. I'm hardcore on Breaking Bad(so yeah, I watch Saul as well)- I got my whole family into watching that show...I also got fam members watching shows like Sons of Anarchy(which was one of my other fave shows) & The Strain; that same fam member got me into watching Spartacus & Game of Thrones.

@scythe just finished watching the 2 seasons of Westworld- brilliant show.

[Nes]

Lost remains my all time favorite show, even though it's far from perfect. There's a lot of characters to get invested in. I'm always down to rewatching it. Game of Thrones is now up there too.

[TheFalseVyper]

The first 5 seasons of Supernatural for me!

[Raven_C]

I dont watch TV, but the one I have seen and loved is Over the Garden Wall. Dark fantasy kids’ show/movie is sort of up my alley.

[ratscout]

Man, I've always wanted to watch more anime, but I have so much trouble sitting down and watching things. XD Trigun was one of my favorites, though, and I'd like to add that to my list 0o0! Evangelion had its flaws, certainly, but the psychologist in me adores it and it had such pretty art and designs and it's also a favorite! Shinji and Asuka are such interesting characters, too <3.

Ooooo and Escaflowne and Hunter X Hunter were pretty good, too!

[ratscout]

Never forget XD.

[ratscout]

I really liked Gravity Falls, but, I don't know what it is about American cartoons, but they have the worst fanbases XD. The Steven Universe fandom gives me nightmares...

[mariusthered]

as i have them all on disc i would have to say stargate sg1

[punkarsenic]

perfect? thats tough

i think season one of in the flesh came very close to perfect for me (season 2 is a little iffy)

the get down was really brilliant too, and recently killing eve had me on tenterhooks

season 1 of the handmaids tale was pretty great too (season 2... eh)

community is an all time favourite, although i wouldnt call it perfect by a long shot
