What is an old show you think is great and really doesn’t get mentioned enough? Why should someone watch it?

    Station 11. I know it’s only a couple of years old but I’d missed knowing about it until recently. It is hands down the tightest, best written (plot and dialogue), best acted miniseries I’ve ever seen.

    It took me four episodes to realize what I was watching and get hooked. The thing that blows me away is that it feels, unlike so much other fiction, like you are watching real but extraordinary people going through real but extraordinary events. Everything is believable, save for some minor gripes with a couple special effects.

    I’ve been devouring quality TV series for 4 decades and this is the best show I’ve ever seen.

      Seconded. We loved every moment, and are very sad it’s over but also relieved that it won’t be dragged out into nothingness like so many post apocalyptic shows.

      Also one of my all time favourites. The way they handled the timelines was really well done. Amazing cast and performances. Love the idea of being a post-apocalyptic travelling performer.
