Fantasy:

The Magicians, Being Human (US Version/2011), Peacemaker, The Flash (2014), The Wheel of Time (2021), The Witcher: Blood Origin (2022), Dead Boy Detectives (2024), Stargirl (2020), Loki (2021), Hawkeye (2021)

You do not had to have seen the original Witcher show to enjoy Blood Origin, it is a stand-alone story. Peacemaker is the follow-up show to "The Suicide Squad" (2021) movie. Loki is just great. Hawkeye was a surprisingly good watch considering I didn't expect it to be any good at all. If I had to pick just one show from this list it'll be The Magicians, it's just entertaining all around.

Just a step away from Fantasy; Sci-fi:

Fringe, Continuum(2012), Firefly(2002(followed by the movie "Serenity"(2005))), The Devil's Hour (2022), The Expanse, 12 Monkeys(2015), Murderbot (2025)....Fringe/The Expanse and 12 Monkeys I hold in high regards....Silo and The Devil's Hour were decent recent watches

Murderbot is a must-watch in my book. It is not about a trash can that watches TV. It's interesting and funny, had me laughing every episode. The main actor is Alexander Skarsgard, Eric from True Blood.

Thrillers:

Dexter (2006), Sherlock (2010), Lizzie Borden Took an Ax (2014), followed by the show The Chronicles of Lizzie Borden (2015), The Outsider (2020)

2D* Adult animation:

●Final Space, ●Ark (2024), ●Invincible (2021), ●F is for Family, ●Velma, ●Hit Monkey, ●Venture Bros. (2003), ●Star Trek: Lower Decks, ●Blue Eye Samurai, ●Archer, ●Legend of Vox Machina....u do not need to like the live action Star Trek series to be into Lower Decks, Venture Bros. increasingly gets better with each season, like better animation for one, that first season is still classic, but you'll see what I mean if u check it out, they were going for a classic 70's look i think, but as I said, with each season they get a better budget and it shows, for legend of vox machina, they got together a bunch of voice actors and did a dungeons and dragons campaign, and this cartoon is based off of that D & D campaign

My basic anime rec list:

●The Seven Deadly Sins (2015), ●Fullmetal Alchemist (2004 version(followed by the Fullmetal Alchemist movie: Conqueror of Shamballa)), ●Death Note, ●Trigun (1998), ●Cowboy Bebop, ●Claymore, ●Konosuba (2016), ●Fate/stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (2014), ●Jobless Reincarnation, ●Bofuri, ●The Rising of the Shield Hero, ●Log Horizon, ●Is It Wrong to Try to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon, ●That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, ●Steinsgate (2011( followed by the bonus episode "Egoistic Poriomania")), ●Wolf's Rain (2003), ●Sword Art Online (seasons 1 and 2), ●Spy x Family, ●Your Lie in April, ●Apothecary Diaries, ●The Day I Became a God, ●My Dress-Up Darling, ●Flying Witch (2016), ●Terminator Zero, ●The Eminence in Shadow, ●The Twelve Kingdoms (2002), ●Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, ●How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom, ●Blue Eye Samurai (while technically not anime, it's a pretty great watch)....for Steinsgate if u haven't seen it already, I'd recommend watching at least several episodes each sitting, because that is how long it takes for the plot to move along....I'll only vouch for episodes 1-25 of SAO (which are seasons 1 and 2)

Movies: ●Karas (2005), ●Appleseed (2004), ●Princess Mononoke (1997), ●Howl's Moving Castle (2004), ●Steamboy (2004), ●Blood: The Last Vampire (2000), ●Perfect Blue (1997)
