Comedy

Max Headroom (1987-1988)

Based on the movie of the same name. Worse than the movie in every way.

You probably only know about this because of that one time a bunch of kids took over a news station with max headrooms head. Dont watch it just because of that. In fact, dont watch it for any reason. Why is this listed?

The I.T. Crowd (2006-2013)

British sitcom about two tech support nerds and their increasingly ridiculous adventures. By the same writer as Father Ted and Black Books.

Silicon Valley (2014-present)

In the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley, the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success. A comedy partially inspired by Mike Judge's own experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late 1980s.

Crime/Drama/Thriller

The Prisoner (1967-1968)

A former unnamed spy is kidnapped and taken to a bizarre, surreal island staffed by an international conspiracy who wish to know why he resigned. He is only known as Number 6. The Island is run by a man known only as Number 1, whom is never seen even by the co-head of the island, Number 2. The person whom is Number 2 is a pseudo-democratically elected person out of the denizens of the island.

Black Mirror (2011-present)

Each episode of Black Mirror is it's own independent mini-movie. Most episodes are based around a near-future reality where technology dominates the character's lives.

Mr. Robot (2015-present)

A young hacker who suffers from social anxiety disorder and forms connections through hacking. He's recruited by a mysterious anarchist, who calls himself Mr. Robot. Season 1 was the best, then it loses its tact and becomes odd and stupid.
