Day 02 - more people should be watching Mob Psycho 100

 

At the pinnacle of storytelling right now, a psychic boy and his con-artist 'psychic' mentor tackling all sorts of malevolent spirits and teaching each other how to be better people, beautifully written and only improving with each new episode. Going to be a classic of this decade for sure.

 

Warning: not the live-action version that's made its way onto Netflix somehow, from all accounts that's terrible and a key player in the Netflix adaptation meme.

Day 1: Atlantis! Gone way too soon and nothing really filled it's and Merlin's place

 

Day 2: The Dragon Prince on Netflix. Just started it and it's really good! It's from the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender, so well worth a watch.

Day 01. A show that should have never been cancelled: Happy Endings

Day 02. A show that you wish more people were watching

 

 

Big Brother UK. Now this may sound weird but the thing is most of the shows I watch I have plenty of people to talk to about so this isn't really an issue I run into often but here is a show that was essentially cancelled and fell off the deep end because the viewer numbers were falling drastically (so they became desperate as a result which all kind of ruined the show). I wish we'd get a new series with big viewing numbers so things could feel organic again and whatever. I just had no idea what to say for this question lmao.

It will be quite hard for people to watch it now :P

Day 2: A show you wish more people were watching

 

For me, it was a tossup between Cleverman and the Strike miniseries, but I eventually went with the former.

 

 

Cleverman

 

A young boy called Koen is given the powers of a Cleverman to protect a subhuman race that is a currently a huge target for discrimination. It takes a great look into racism and corrupt politics, and also does an interesting alternative to subverting the 'chosen one' cliche. Rather than just relying on Koen being the 'chosen one', it shows us that Koen was the wrong brother to have been given the powers to and shows his struggles with these powers. The Season 2 finale was a great way to close off the series, and the cliffhanger leaves me wanting more. Here's to hoping the show doesn't get canned before the cliffhanger is resolved.

Day 01. A show that should have never been cancelled

Animals. (HBO)

An incredibly niche show that I just happened to discover, basically just talking cartoon animals (with sex, violence, drugs, alcohol, bad language, etc. etc. etc.). Choc-a-bloc with guest voice actors, too many notable guests to list

 

The Last Man On Earth

Probably more to Buzzjacks taste :lol: A cute little show about a guy who thinks hes the last survivor after a disease decimates the Earth. Obviously other people show up over time and they start a community. An incredibly hilarious show but because of how little reception there really was to it and the creators were expecting to be cancelled at any time, every season ended in a way that it sort of could be the end of the show completely. Will Forte, Kristen Schaal, January Jones, Mary Steenburgen, make up some of the main cast plus the likes of Jason Sudeikis, Kristen Wiig, Fred Armisen, Will Ferrel, Jon Hamm, Laura Dern, Jack Black, and Martin Short show up :wub: Highly recommend for some light-hearted-but-still-quite-dark-comedy

 

 

Day 02. A show that you wish more people were watching

iZombie

SUCH a great show here. One of my favourite 'new' shows (in it's 5th and final season this year but still new compared to most of what I watch). Basically about zombies in Seattle but tame zombies and just like regular humans aside from weird cravings and hair that changes white overnight :lol: It starts off very slow tbh but really picks up especially in the second half of season 2. It turns from teen 'rom-com-zom-drom' to more of a drama show later on and gets so much better :wub: 10/10. It's based on a comic series too!

Day 01. A show that should have never been cancelled: Flashforward

Day 02: A show you wish more people were watching: Episodes

 

I feel like I used to be the king of watching flop shows, so I would have been able to answer this a lot better a few years ago - now some of my fave shows that would have been seen as underrated have exploded in popularity (Black Mirror), are SLOWLY getting cult status (Inside No. 9) or I joined when it already had ultimate cult status (Arrested Development). And now, there's so much TV that I'm ultimately watching show that there's that hype for already and there's less opportunity to find those talked about shows.

 

Sooo, I've gone for a show that has actually ended (with a natural ending) but it never really got the attention that it should have done. It was a great satirical look at US networks and, in particular, the differences between UK and US television and how most US adapations of UK hits don't really end up working. You also had Matt LeBlanc playing a brilliantly over the top Hollywood version of himself where he continually has selfish motivations. Plus, Daisy Haggard's amazing facial expressions. The whole series is on Netflix to enjoyyy

Day 02. A show that you wish more people were watching

 

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

 

It's critically acclaimed and all plus has it fans, but this should be huge, I think it's near the bottom of ratings :/ It's hilarious, so clever, touching and tackles things like mental health so so well which is really important. It toes the line of being funny but real, devastating but warm, the songs are sometimes so literal that it's hilarious. All the characters are likeable and add something to the show, I can't really think of any fillers as even the random background characters who pop up now and again but don't have plots usually have something funny to say. The songs are bops too, and Rachel Bloom is such a star and deserves more awards for this. Plus Josh/Nathaniel/White Josh/both Gregs are hot af x

Day 02. A show that you wish more people were watching: Dynasty

 

 

I’m just gonna go for a show that more people on this forum should be watching :P I’m not necessarily an expert on ratings.

 

I only started watching this show (after seeing a clip on Instagram) and I probably only came here because of Liz Gillies, but I was pretty surprised by how drama packed it is. It’s very soap opera-ish on paper, I mean the plot revolves around a rich family who owns a corporation wth shady intentions, but there really is much more to the story. The plots don’t overpower each other as much and don’t feel too shoehorned in, and a lot of the characters are likeable despite the plot leading us otherwise lol. Definitely worth it to see both children try to stick it to their dad, whether it be by forming a rival company or having a relationship with his newest wife’s so-called cousin.

1. A show that should have never been cancelled. American Vandal

 

2. A show that you wish more people were watching. Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.

 

Obviously a popular show and started off with very high ratings but it seems that they have been really dropping off while the quality has been improving each season. One of the most consistently great shows on TV and I know absolutely no-one who actually watches it.

I'm on season 4 of Lost and I'd say it's still pretty great! :o definitely stick with it, I won't say anything else as I could use it for another day here :magic:

 

Also:

 

Day 02. A show that you wish more people were watching: Inside No. 9

 

I mean Klaus alluded to it, but it still needs to be mentioned as nowhere near enough people are watching it that should be. One of the cleverest, boundary pushing and original shows there is, every episode just shocks you with how it veers completely away from what you were expecting by the end, and the anthology layout means it never really feels samey and there's so many different genres and styles available. Particularly for those that have a taste for macabre perhaps, but highly recommended for all.

I definitely enjoy Seasons 1-3 of the Lost more than the latter three as, for me, it started becoming a bit self-indulgent and introducing concepts it didn’t need to. I preferred Season 6 the most out of the latter three though.

 

Inside No. 9 definitely is a ahow that needs loads more praise, so much variety there and so many emotional journies you go on in half an hour!

Rick and Morty.

 

 

I love that show too

exactly! it's gotten way too complicated and it was already way over the top with their concepts (in a good way).

 

gosh now I want Lost to get on Netflix so that I could rewatch it ughhh

Day 01. A show that should have never been cancelled: Hard Sun

Day 02. A show that you wish more people were watching: The Man In The High Castle

 

 

I absolutely loved Hard Sun but I'm not surprised it get axed when it was pulling in dismal ratings. It just really bugs me that it ended without any development into the big catastrophic event and the bad ratings mean we will never see the chaotic world that was to come :/

 

And then The Man In The High Castle, I feel like barely anyone watches it. The visuals are stunning of Nazi occupied America - a seriously amazing job of pulling together what that type of world might have been like. And Season 3 is easily the best so far with so many twists and turns and much better writing for the lead characters.

I felt like Hard Sun was meant to end the way it did tbh. Season 2 would've ruined it for me now personally. I loved it all the same too

Neil Cross planned out the story for 5 seasons but the ratings were really bad lmao

Day 1: A show that should have never been cancelled: Faking It

 

http://images.mtvnn.com/5b93b162e28807f7270598cd15b87505/630x354_.jpg

 

This was SO good. :( I really feel it just a) didn't have the right platform to be a proper hit (seeing as MTV seem to love cancelling the brand new teen dramas they create), and b) was before its time. This would probably be a major hit on Netflix right now if it were to be resurrected and more seasons made, although maybe not without some controversy. Plus they knew how to keep the gays entertained with Gregg Sulkin and Michael Willett constantly shirtless. :kink: For the 3 seasons that aired though, I'd become so attached to the characters and it's a shame we didn't get to see a proper end to all the stories.

 

Honourable mention: The Job Lot; this is probably one of the funniest British comedies I've watched in a while - even if I was roughly 5 years late to the party. I'm constantly going back and rewatching on Netflix whenever I can't be bothered starting anything new. Sarah Hadland is hilarious. :lol:

 

Day 2: A show that you wish more people were watching: I really can't think of anything for this one, oops. I'll edit in if I manage to come up with one.

Omg The Man In The High Castle is a great shout!! I love it, currently on season 2 but yes the visuals are so amazing. Wish more people watched it too!
