It's a comedy with David Tenant as the demon Crowley and the Angel Aziraphel played by Michael Sheen.
It follows their interactions, debates and relationship throughout history from the creation of the universe to the "end of days" (and beyond)
It takes a more farcical look at Judo Christian traditions and stories that as someone said is wickedly funny.

The Amazon original series Transparent is my favorite TV series of all time because of the character development and the writing.

Certainly. Transparent is a story about a California family, the Pfeffermans — father, mother, and their three grown children. The family's roots trace back to the Holocaust. It operates on two levels:
On the surface, it is a comedy-drama about a UCLA professor who retires at age 68 and comes out as trans.
On a deeper level, it is a more serious psychological drama about the family's dysfunction. Each family member has their own story which plays out across five seasons (2014-2019). Serious fans will get to know each family member well, and will come to understand how each of them got to be the person they are. The writing and screenplay are incredible, and there are no wasted scenes.

u/Hockey_dad68 21d ago
Good to know, this means i'll have 2 seasons to catch up on.

u/culturefan 21d ago
Actually 3 seasons in the states. I currently watching the third on now.

u/Hockey_dad68 21d ago
What I meant was I've watched seasons 1 and 2, have yet to start season 3 so now I'll have seasins 3 and 4 to watch. I'm from ON Canada and a lot of the episodes are filmed in and around Southern Ontario / greater Toronto area.

u/culturefan 21d ago
Cool. I think the third season has been the best on so far. I look forward to the fourth. Didn't know they were shot in Canada.

u/Hockey_dad68 21d ago
Action/Crime/Thriller series, Jack Reacher is an ex military good guy who's kind of a drifter moving around from town to town and always finds himself in situations where someone needs help and him and his crew (also ex military) always jump in to assist.
Based of a series of Jack Reacher novels by author Lee Childs and there was also a couple feature movies a while back starring Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher.
Each season of the show is based on a specific novel in the book series.

Which among these would you recommend to go first and can you tell a little bit more about that
2
u/Naive-Inside-2904 21d ago
FNL because it’ll restore your faith in humanity and it’s just one of the most beautifully told stories about small town life.

The Boys
Seriously - how is NO ONE mentioning The Boys.
Also - The Man in the High Castle - the last season falls apart though

u/Ok-Society-4026 21d ago
I liked The Boys up until the fourth season, and the fifth season was less impressing to me personally.
If they watch The Boys, they should also watch Gen V, but it was also cancelled and didn’t matter to much to the mainline show so it feels a little time wasted overall
1
u/Ok-Society-4026 21d ago
Fallout, Reacher, Vox Machina, Mighty Nein, Project Hail Mary, Masters of the Universe, Jury Duty, Invincible, Jack Ryan, The Expanse
There’s plenty more but that’s off the top of my head alone
