From on MGM+ is absolutely fantastic. I love the mystery, the horror, and everything else about it. I am excited to see where it goes. I also absolutely love Foundation on Apple TV+, amazing CGI and fantastic world (or universe) building.

    I don’t recall how I heard about For All Mankind, and I never see it mentioned very much, but I have had such a great time watching that.

    It’s an alternate history of the space race from the 60s onward, and it’s so exciting to watch what could have been. Each season jumps forward a decade, so the advances in missions and tech keep leaping forward.

    If you grew up thinking we should be pioneering space by now, you will probably enjoy it.

      I absolutely love For All Mankind. Such a great show, although it has been lacking in terms of intensity in recent seasons

        Intensity is a good word to describe that element. I feel the show is willing to bump off characters, but 2 of the leads have survived too many close calls and it lowers the stakes a good bit.

        The individual that showed up with the surprise faction really threw a wrench into things that I enjoyed though!

    If you like para-military actions I highly recommend Spec Ops: Lioness.

    Lioness is a CIA program who recruits military women to infiltrate terrorist organizations and destroy it from within.

    It’s currently on its second season. Zoey Saldana is fantastic in the show.

    Most likely I’m too specific about it, but I see quite some shows mentioned that I’d not really consider underrated or unrecognised. Firefly is one of my all time favourites but not really underrated or unrecognised. Or Fringe, possibly not even From (of which I’ll just say I very much hope they have an ending planned because I don’t want it to end lost like Lost).

    Perfect examples of underrated or unrecognised shows are Galavant and Utopia, mentioned by others, they are brilliant.

    In a similar direction I’d say Dead Set, a UK show that really surprised me ages ago but never see mentioned. https://imdb.com/title/tt1285482/

    Maybe I should include also Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, but that may be a lot less underrated and it’s a minishow only.

      I never actually watched dead set, but I remember it was airing at the same time I had a Media Studies project at school about zombies so the tutors kept bringing it up

    It’s not exactly “unrecognized” because it’s fairly popular, but From – yes, that’s the name, and yes, it makes it very difficult to search for.

    It’s pretty highly rated, horror/mystery show. It’s a lot like Lost except more horror less mystery. It even stars Harold Perrineau who played Michael in Lost.

    The concepts and monsters are very scary and/or creepy. It gives me a Dead by Daylight “The Entity” and “The Entity’s Realm” vibe if you’re familiar with the game.

    Preacher, it’s on Netflix now. So good.

    Warrior, also I think on Netflix now.

    Andor was crazy good too, and Scavenger’s Reign.

    Not sure about unrecognized, but those are great.

      Exactly same. Gf & I got into it a few weeks ago and just caught up to current. We’re champing at the bit to see what happens next.

    ‘Midnight Mass’ somehow completely went under my radar first, but DAMN, that was a great mini series!

    Rubicon

    If you like espionage but from the analytical side.

    Counterpart

    If you like espionage, JK Simmons, and parallel dimensions

    Berlin Station S1

    If you like espionage and postwar Germany

      Rubicon was excellent. Most of the other shows mentioned here are actually well known, but this one truly is a deep cut.

        It really was. I’ve watched it several times.

        I’m not really sure what’s well known unless it’s enormously popular.

        I’ve looked up the director, writer and actors from Rubicon to find similarly great work but this seemed to be a special convergence.
