We Are Lady Parts - a more recent one. Dramady following an all-girl Muslim punk band in London.
4400, but it was a wierd hybrid of superpower humans and dystopian future+ time travelling of mankind, basically in the future the wealthy/aristocratic were living in prisitne cities while everything was a version madmax and judge dredd future. threshold was another one. the “rich people” found out about the scientist going back in tiem to prevent this future, so they sent thier own agents to the past to stop it.
Patriot. On Amazon prime. Dark comedy. CIA and government ineptitude.
Honestly, great show. I don’t know what I expected, but it was so much better.
Hell yeah

Brickleberry
Being Erica
Forever Knight
La femme Nikita (Peta Wilson version)
Space above and Beyond
Sliders
Doraleus and Associates (web series)
Dr Horribles Singalong Blog (is this okay for this list?)
Due South
Celebrity Deathmatch
Ask a Ninja (early YouTube channel)
Space above and beyond died too young. It was such an awesome scifi show with some really mind blowing good episodes
Oh man, Ask a Ninja just unlocked a core memory that I had buried. What a perfect example of early Internet comedy.
I would disagree with due south and being Erica but to each own.
Gosh I was gonna say “perfect”. Though to be fair I haven’t rewatched Being Erica and it did happen at exactly that time on my life, so was very relatable.
Due South is a treasure. No notes.
Disagree for them flirting under the radar or you wouldn’t recommend them or both?
Due south was pretty big and so was being Erica but I wouldn’t put it up there with corner gas or trailer park boys. Those changed lives.
They were big, but 20+years later they are pretty under the radar now
Otherworld.

Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place
Now that’s an obscure gem and suddenly I want to hear that 80s synth song from Matt Berry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO-ZGP68-3w
The Patriot on amazon is one of my favourite tv shows of all time. Tragically cancelled but each episode is outstanding. Nobody’s seen it!
