Be it a book, movie, TV show, game, or whatever!
Here are mine in no particular order:
-
Pokemon and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
-
Ori and the Blind Forest
-
Warrior Cats
-
Over the Garden Wall
-
The Netflix Voltron series (the earlier seasons)
-
Disenchantment
-
Fox and the Hound (both the book and the Disney movie)
-
Final Space (Netflix series)
-
Persona
Many of these gave me goosebumps (or tears) the first time I saw them, which IMO is a pretty good benchmark for a good story.

It took me a long time to get into Lord of the Rings, because the first book was kind of slow. I stopped in the middle of it and didn’t come back to the series for years. But when I did, I found the next two books much more enjoyable.
I read more fantasy books as a kid/teenager. My favorites were Harry Potter, Narnia, Percy Jackson, and the Eragon books.
I’ve also played Dungeons and Dragons a few times. It’s super fun, but feels like a big time commitment if you take it seriously.Right now I’m really getting back into Stargate SG1 since I got Sugarbaby hooked on it. Probably gonna watch Atlantis with them after that.
I enjoy Stargate SG-1 but looking back on it as an adult it does get somewhat American-exceptionalist especially in the Earth episodes where they deal with other nations.
SG-1 season 6
There’s literally an episode where foreign ambassadors are recommending full public disclosure, and then Thor just shows up and tells everyone to let the Americans handle everything
Adding ontop of what has been said already, the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series is really great. I love the complex political world in the fantasy setting. The show (which only had 6 seasons) was great but the books are much better (still reading them).

Sci-Fi:
Solaris by Stanislaw Lem or The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K. Dick

SG Atlantis is one of my fav so started with SG universe but not getting the same satisfaction.

- The Expanse
I’m a horror fan, lately I came across “Evil” which is a lot fun to watch
Movies
- Fifth Element
- Predestination
I’d like to write my motivations but I’d just obsess over it for hours, so I’m only listing the items.
Show:
- Black Sails
- The Expanse
- All 4 (or was it 5?) seasons of Game of Thrones
Books:
- The Expanse
- Blindsight
- Remembrance of Earth’s Past (aka Three Body Problem)

There are others I enjoy despite (or regardless of) their quality, for reasons such as nostalgia, certain characters or unique atmosphere. They’re too subjective to be of much interest to anyone else though, probably.
