Orphan Black. Tatiana Maslany should have won ALL the awards.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. One of the funniest comedies ever. Season 18 (EIGHTEEN!) being shot right now. But awards? They mean absolutely nothing to them.
Avatar: the Last Airbender.
Scavengers Reign.
Firefly
Found-family space western with excellent music and characters
Yes, it has Joss Whedon’s name on it, but either because it was made much earlier in his career or because Tim Minear was showrunner, it doesn’t have the modern bathos issue commonly associated with him these days
Expanse
Fringe
The Good Place. Funny, compelling, I cried through the final episode. It also doesn’t waste your time, things will happen mid-season that any other show would have dragged out for the season finale.
Mr Robot. So many twists and turns, and had me absolutely fascinated from start to finish
Stargate SG-1.
The IT Crowd
Firefly.
Fringe.
Not for everyone, but if it is for you, you’ll adore it.
The first three seasons of Arrested Development are still amongst the smartest, dumbest and painfully funniest hours of (comedy) television I have ever seen.
Babylon 5 and Farscape
Andor is the best piece of Star Wars media and the best TV show I’ve ever seen. You don’t need to like Star Wars. I don’t know if seeing Star Wars would even increase your enjoyment. I think seeing Rogue One would probably be good but otherwise just jump in. No space wizards or laser swords or destiny or whatever. It’s so adult and grounded. I can’t believe Disney let them make this.
