    LEXX.

    Low budget, Canadian sci-fi which is slapped together with duct tape, bad CGI, and every ounce of pure unadulterated horny that the 90’s could muster!

    • Red Dwarf is a about a slacker in space
    • Father Ted is a sitcom about three priests on a remote island in Ireland
    • Black Books is a sitcom revolving around the social misfits in a book store
    • Peep Show is about the life of two people where you can hear the protagonist’s thoughts

    These are all quite old, so don’t expect 16:9 🤩

      Green Wing will be right up your alley if you’re a fan of all these shows! It’s a sitcom/drama set in a hospital but it’s not a medical drama. It’s entirely character driven, very absurd in its humour, and almost like a sketch show at times with how some of its scenes play out. It’s tied with Black Books for my favourite comedy series (and Tamsin Greig stars in both, too).

        For some reason that reminded me of Look Around You. Both seasons were crazy genius spoofs too.

      Peep Show has a very successful, long-running sequel called Would I Lie To You?

    Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. It requires you to watch till the end to get the full payoff and everything clicks together and makes sense but I thought it was fun and out there.

      I recommend the books, they tell completely different stories. Though I haven’t read them since I was a teenager.

    Killjoys - Space bounty hunters show with a very similar vibe to Firefly. 5 seasons of 10 episode each, and has a proper conclusion.
    Slow Horses - MI5 rejects and screw ups are assigned to Slough House, run by Jackson Lamb played by Gary Oldman.
    Misfits - Teens doing community service are caught in a freak storm that gives them superpowers.

    I would say that my favourite tv shows are probably just as known as my least favorite ones, but I’m not a very popular person so not many people have much reason to know about either.

    Two more since we’re bringing up 90s shows: Space: Above & Beyond and Earth 2.

    The first is about space Marines fighting an alien enemy. It’s gritty and dark with a pretty well fleshed-out universe complete with an AI rebellion, cloned soldiers, and awesome and pretty realistic space combat. CGI isn’t bad for the 90s either.

    The second is about a group of colonists who are trying to find a new world since living on space stations is making their kids sick. They crash land due to sabotage, and find that the planet is home to two sentient species and a smattering of prisoners and former colonists. The cast includes Tim Curry and Clancy Brown before he was Mr. Krabs.
