Fargo, all seasons! Especially season 2 as it has a sci fi theme with a UFO. It's the single best TV series I've ever watched.

Damn, forgot about Fargo (probably edges my pick to be fair) :)

The first two seasons were as close to TV perfection as you can get. Season 3 was a masterclass in acting from David thewlis.

Absolutely. I genuinely could not believe it was him! ....about a million miles away from Frank Gallagher :)

I think you mean David Threlfall as Frank? David Thewliss is one of those actors I recognise but reading his list of films doesn't really ring any bells; where have I seen him from?

I stand corrected!

It took several viewings of Hot Fuzz before I realised Frank Gallagher was in it!

...now I've got to go and watch that again! ....Thewlis/Threlfall ....reckon I've finally got it :)

Read my comment again, Sir.
Look up David Thewliss (V M Varga) and David Threlfall (Frank). 😁

The detectorists is a brilliant show. Mckenzie Crook is a genius!

Seconding the detectorist suggestion, awesome show.

People just do nothing. Fricken hilarious. There is a weed drought episode which is pretty accurate 🥸 6:48 17/06/24

If you like animation i can also recommend Star Trek: Lower decks.

17/6/24

People Just Do Nothing

Find it hilarious after a good smoke lol
17/06/24 @ 21:29

A 2nd hand recommendation, but I'm about to start watching The Expanse after a mate described it as 'like Game of Thrones in space'.

Apparently when the original makers dropped it some of the fans were so hard-core about it that they flew a plane past Amazon buildings with a sign saying 'Save the Expanse'. If a show inspires that level of commitment it has to be worth a watch imo.

Alternatively if you want some comedy then Good Omens gets my vote!

17/6/24 @ 21:28.

The expanse was great. It does tail off in latter series so I'm not completely surprised it got cancelled but the early series were compelling. I liked how it worked with many of the realities of living and moving in space which most series ignore. The early plot line is fascinating too. I liked it anyway.

Misfits from c4 from a while
Back was pretty funny & had a sci-fi vibe to it.
17/6/24 @ 21:20

Either What we do in the Shadows. So funny or for a sci-fi hit try Westworld
17/6/24 @ 20:42

What We Do In The Shadows easily the best comedy of the last 5 years....rivalled only recently by Ted the series

Agreed on both counts pal!

Comedy; I recommend “Nighty Night”. Sci fi I recommend “Fargo series 2”.

18/6/24

Nice to see some love for the deliciously dark, but absolutely hilarious Nighty Night...tailor made for anyone who claims to have a dark sense of humour...Julia Davis is amazing

Can we have the intercourse now Jill? Is probably the darkest quote in British comedy.

Or when she brings in a child's set of Pyjamas for Terry in hospital....

"They're a bit small, Jill."
"Dr. Wivell said that you will be quite small by the end Terry."

🤣🤣🤣

I think you should chip in, or it just gets nasty.

'Joy, could you not breathe too close to the clients, just while your dentures are setting in...we're not all fish lovers' 🤣

The boys is must see tv

Firefly, best space western going. Absolutely tip top

That's a good shout. I rewatched it recently and it still stood out as a series.

ahaha if you want comedy, “this country” on BBC

very relatable, not a dull moment throughout the whole series.

will have you wetting yourself and quoting many 1 liners.

hope you find what you’re looking for :)

The Orville, Star Trek: Lower Decks and Solar Opposites are all pretty solid depending on your tastes! 11:02am 18/06

Adding an edit to throw in a bonus movie suggestion, They Cloned Tyrone, it's on my watch next list so can't say if it's great or not.

18/06/24- I love watching trailer park boys while having a joint, that show just goes hand in hand 😂

The Changeling 18.06.24

I recently watched the Scifi series The Expanse which I liked loads more than I expected I would. It's got a pretty good initial plot line but it's the fact that it adheres to many of the harsh realities of living and moving in space rather than skirt around them the way most Scifi series do that I felt gave it some level of integrity and fascination. If you've not seen it, give a few episodes a bash as it takes a while to get going properly. I'm currently watching another Scifi series, The Killjoys. It's kinda fun but hard to recommend in case you judge me by it.

Oh - time and date:17/6/2024 - 21:38

Good luck everyone. Thanks for running the comp.

Evil.
La Brea.
Monarch legacy of monsters.
Midnight Mass.

All are class programs.

People of Earth

sci-fi comedy

A Journalist who doesn't believe goes to investigate a support group for people who have been abducted.

s1 was great.

17/06/24 20:48

Free weed goes to trippycat. I can't wait to watch this ;)

Congratulations to trippycat. I might give the series a bash myself.

If u have never seen legion the TV series it's on Disney plus now I think it's sci-fi comedy and a whole lot of trippiness best TV series I've ever seen (17/06/24) 20.18pm

farscape! early noughties show but solid scifi. 17/6, 20:03

3 Body Problem. Top sci-fi must see with a few laughs. The books are a total mind fuck if you like an epic trilogy that you can barely understand. Written by a theoretical physicist so based on his knowledge and research 🤯 17/6/24 @ 9:55

Anime: Baccano - A crazy fantasy caper involving alchemists, immortals, gangsters, outlaws and an elixir of immortality, spread over several decades. (If this is your first Samurai Champoo, black lagoon or bungo stray dogs next, all available dubbed)

Non-Anime: Love, Death & Robots - A collection of animated short stories that span various genres including science fiction, fantasy, horror and comedy. (Hard to tell some from reality)

20/06/24

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - funny and random af
19.06.24

I'd highly reccomend the Orville on Disney+ - hilarious Sci-fi show, not too much to think about.. perfect for stoners like us!

Have a good night mate, all the best

FROM or STRANGER THINGS both Netflix
19/6/24 19:43

Ray Donovan hits hard and true

The expanse is a really good program to watch.
19-06-34 @ 12:21

Hi CCannibals

If you haven't seen Twisted Metal it is both SciFi AND Comedy.

Season 1 has been out for a while and was on Amazon lately.

I could mention another shwo but I guess that would be cheating!

How's about Red Dwarf?
18/06/24 @ 1524h

Black books https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0262150/
18.06 cheers 💚

psych on netflix

Check out Snowpiercer, great sci-fi tv series set in a dystopian setting that I enjoyed, and as a bonus Sean Bean stars in it!

- 18.06.2024 12:48

Going out on a limb here, not sci-fi or comedy (fav's of mine tbh) AND I haven't watched these in years but I remember enjoying them (and only one season for each):

The Night Of - twisty, turny, tense, wrongful(?) imprisonment drama.

The Last Panthers - Dark, violent Crime drama, moody ambient dark music (ended up with the soundtrack)
18/06/24 12:33pm

Just finished watching ‘The Outlaws’ which is very entertaining 18/06 @ 11.11

My all time favourite Sci-Fi TV series has to be The X Files and for a comedy for me it's got to be Only Fools & Horses, never fails to make me laugh no matter how many times I watch it :-)

18/06/2024 10:45AM

Good Luck.

Oooh fun competition and first one I've ever entered lol, few recommends from yesteryears....
Mork & Mindy, Futurama & 3rd Rock From The Sun. 18.06.24, 10.29am✌️ 💚

Animated series called

"The Boondocks"

don't understand how it doesn't get recommended more. Check it out

Please put date stamps biggas so we know who was first in case 2-3 of sugges the same

I'm the TV guy! These are the best shows out there:

Mare of Easttown is maybe the best crime mini series ever made!
Severance is some adult sci-fi and a real mind twister
For comedy - Dave is the funniest show I've seen in the past few years.

Even if you don't pick me, definitely watch these shows - they're all tens!

The acolyte
Cleaning lady
Presumed innocent
Dark matter
All banging at the minute 👍🏻👍🏻

Peep show.......23.06.24 00:47

Happy weird but funny as fook or ash vs evil dead over the top but a good show to watch when high 22/6/24 22:50

If you like Sci-fi Comedies, a great TV Series to watch is Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (if you haven’t already seen it). High-ly recommended 🔥🥬💨

Just watched Brian & Charles on Netflix. Love the weird robot guy. Proper funny.

Something that always made me howl was Operation Good Guys from the 1980's? Very funny, particularly the cocaine bust episode. Hard to find but well worth a watch. 22.06.24

I always enjoy rewatching Red Dwarf, the jokes still land for me after all these years!

Not comedy or sci-f I know, but the ‘American Crime Story’ series were class. Really bingable and plenty to go at. There’s a series on the OJ Simpson case, the Versace murder (REALLY good this one!) and the Bill Clinton affair. 21/6. 2350

Thank you for all entries this far. Please make sure to include date stamp I can still see few posted without.
