Dang alter carbon season 1 and see. You have great taste. I honestly went into see thinking it was going to be wildly unbelievable but they do such a phenomenal job making things mostly feel real. From the fights to just the normal daily life stuff another great pick cypher! Thanks for watching and the comments 😁🤜🤛😁

[@cypherglitch]

@TheBingeList99 I like shows that do their research and dont go into it half hearted. Either all in or not at all. it was the new weaponed martial arts style for the blind that I loved. I re watched the series to see if they dropped the ball (goofs) when it came to how blind people would act, but I could not fault it. Usally you find an extra slipping up but I could not find any mess ups. It would have been so hard to always act blind with their eyes open. They did an unbelievable job and can see alot of research went into how blind people navigate the world.

Season 1 is one of my favorite shows ever, season 2 is still good. But regardless it’s disappointing it was cancelled

[@gwenivercall]

I've watched All of us are dead multiple times, with subtitles and dubbed, and the dubbing holds up so well - I've even found that watching the dubbed version helped me catch things I'd missed because I was too busy reading the subtitles. It's an amazing series. However the production has been pushed back again, to 2025, so I wouldn't keep my hopes up for the sequel. Still, unlike a lot of really good shows on and off this list (Y:the last man, anyone?) it holds up as a one season show. Sure, it ends in a way that could lead to a season 2, but it''s satisfying enough in itself.

[@TheBingeList99]

Many species live successfully without sight. So do blind people - but even within that term, it doesn't simply mean absence of light.

Yeah but blind people have a world built by non blind people to live in.

But I don’t really remember them explaining how quickly site left so maybe sited people helped as site was loss slowly 🤷🏼‍♂️

Okay... a little late to the party but two recommendations.... For Horror, British series "Dead Set".. the competitors of reality show Big Brother wonder why things have gone quiet, oblivious that the world has ended outside the walls... For Drama... British series "In the Flesh"... a true post apocolyptic show... where the cure to the undead is found, and they are re-integrated back to society... A brilliant tear jerking drama that uses the undead as a metaphor to being queer... Should they integrate into society for the ease of others.... A Brilliant tear jerking show

It is a shame, I thought it had promise

What’s worse is that it was initially renewed. Real kick in the crotch. 😢

[@esmewvimes2901]

I will check some of these out. I enjoyed the first 2 seasons of Enter the Badlands, and had to push to get through the 3rd. I get very tired of having devoted hours of time to a show just to have them cancelled by the 3rd season and stuck with a dozen dropped plot lines and a sloppy final that does nothing but piss me off. I also enjoyed season 1 of Altered Carbon, and agree that it was a victim of it's own success. Book one was also superior to book 2 of the series, but I can watch Kinneman over and over with no complaints. Have you checked out FROM? I'm waiting to binge season 3, so anyone responding with a hint of a spoiler will feel the wrath of a dedicated horror-phile. I've watched the first 2 seasons twice, and there is so much going on that the are multiple communities following and discussing each episode to try and find answers to questions posed by the show. I'm obsessed, and highly recommend it. After Evil ended after only 4 seasons, I'm worried FROM is going to suffer a similar fate.

[@TheBingeList99]

I just mentioned this to someone yesterday in another comment but I feel like shows being cancelled is the curse of being more into shows than movies. And it sucks. But From is outstanding, I just recommended it in my horror video I released last week. I always worry about it but I hope if they continue it for a long time that they don’t let it get to “Lost” like if that makes sense

[@stuartbagley2586]

I would have liked more Evil, but I think 4 seasons was good. I would have like a more “tidy” ending, but what can you do? FROM is outstanding. I think it’s best enjoyed by experiencing the ride and the characters rather than getting too caught up in the answers.

[@bwanamatata]

Great List. Of the ones you mentioned, the one I couldn't get into was Colony. I really wanted to, with its cast but for some long forgotten reason I stopped watching . I truly loved both Daybreak and The Society. Unfortunately, I believe both only lasted one season and aren't likely to continue. I seem to remember cliffy like hangers at the ends of each. I hope the same doesn't happen to Severance since it's newer, but wow talk about an unexpected joy that mind-melter was.

[@TheBingeList99]

It’s the one pit fall of being a series person over a movie guy, sometimes they just end which sucks, but on a positive Severance season 2 is coming in January 2025

[@lewistheobald6702]

I'd say Murphy was a likeable character! But the series wasn't particularly aiming for likeable characters. It was aiming for complex and conflicted characters whose actions might horrify you and might thrill you and would often leave you thinking hard about whether they were justified. (Think the Council on the Ark, Clarke at Mount Weather, Octavia in the bunker...) In my opinion there were even moments of epic grandeur: 'You may be the Commander, but I am the Commander of Death.' You could imagine a character in Homer saying that. The 100 is one of my all time favourite TV series.

[@SirReptitious]

It's tragic that 99% of Americans flat-out refuse to watch anything with subtitles. I've been watching European movies and TV series for ages, and about 10 years ago discovered the world of South Korean and Japanese TV series/movies. They are a refreshing change from the mostly woke garbage Hollywood makes. And the great thing about Korean TV series is that they are all one season(although the number of eps can vary greatly), and even if the ratings aren't great, they don't wuss out and give up. They finish the season, so you never get blue-balled by a mid-season sudden cancellation(unless cancellations never get posted or talked about for some reason).

The last of Us - too early to judge it. By the end of the first season it felt like the had stretched it too much and that it could have been covered in a few episodes and they could have continued the story further. Into the Badlands - first few seasons are good than it falls off. Fallout - was fun to watch. Hope it gets better. The 100 - it's okish until season 3 after which it falls off. This show has got nothing to do with scifi even though they had a very good baseline for it. It's all about human conflict. The seasons just go round and round in circles with different humans fighting different humans.
