This is a recreation of a fictional computer program from the excellent Apple TV show - Severance.

The work is mysterious, and important.

Season 2 is going now. It’s one of my top 3 shows of the last decade, highly recommend it.

What are your other 2?

Severance could well get into my top 3, but currently I think mine would be: Mr. Robot, Breaking Bad and Wednesday.

Definitely The Americans as mentioned above, also The Expanse, The Man in the High Castle, Slow Horses (especially the panoramic London drone shots), Preacher (in which both Tom Cruise and a sewage treatment methane reactor violently explode for their own independent reasons), Babylon 5 (relaxing the last decade constraint), LEXX (a soft porn space opera), Farscape (with real MUPPETS!!!), A&E Network's "A Nero Wolfe Mystery" (with Maury Chaykin as Nero Wolfe, who was also just as grumpy in War Games), and Wilfred (both the original rough edgy low budget original Australian version, and the well produced clean cut American version with Elijah Woods).

Also anything with Esteemed Character Actress Margo Martindale, who was Claudia the KGB handler who liked playing PacMan in The Americans, Mags Bennett the ruthless head of the marijuana and moonshine smuggling clan in Justified, a fictionalized (or was it???) version of herself "Esteemed Character Actress Margo Martindale" in Bojack Horseman, records supervisor Camilla Figg in Dexter, and Ranger Liz in Cocaine Bear ("I'm sorry. Where'd the bear go?"), and a Canadian maple syrup smuggler in The Sticky. Such a wide range and prodigious rap sheet!

If someone would be kind enough to make a Trakt list (or similar) of HN favourites for Sonarr and Radarr, it would save a lot of community time.

For research only, obviously.

If you like Margo Martindale, you'd be remiss in not starting to watch The Riches immediately. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0496343/

Eddie Izzard putting in a serious character acting role as an Irish Traveler ner-do-well who essentially steals a Florida suburban identity. With Minnie Driver as his just out of prison addict wife.

It was really good, even moreso for its time.
