"Task"
Crime, drama | 3.91 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season | 2025
Tom Brandis is an experienced FBI agent from Philadelphia. He is assigned to lead a special task force investigating a series of violent armed home robberies. The prime suspect turns out to be Robbie, an unassuming family man and hard worker who secretly organizes the robberies to save his family.
"A brilliant masterpiece from HBO. The second mini-series about fatherhood this year after "The Age of Transition," it turns your soul inside out, using the classic "good guys vs. bad guys" accompaniment, but with twists. I recommend everyone watch it — the series starts slowly, but picks up speed and by the end you won't be able to tear yourself away", — Mechtaev
"The series is delightful, keeping you in suspense from beginning to end. Ruffalo, and not only him — the entire cast is perfectly chosen, and their performances are simply magnificent. I could go on listing all the pros of this project, but I'll just say this — almost at the end of the year, HBO gave us an excellent project, thank you! If you're looking for an emotional roller coaster, this is the place for you", — Hamali666

"Black Rabbit"
Drama, thriller | 3.72 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season | 2025
The life of Jake Friedken, a successful restaurateur and owner of one of New York's most popular establishments called Black Rabbit, changes when his troubled brother Vince returns. Jake finds himself caught up in a chain of dangerous events that threaten to destroy not only his business but also his personal life.
"I liked the series, it took a while to get going, but the ending was intense. The acting is great, the characters are well developed. I also liked the visuals, dark and cozy at the same time. You wouldn't wish such an older brother on your worst enemy, he's a walking disaster... Jude Law is wonderful, as always. All in all, not bad for an evening's viewing", — reetman1989
"I'm glad to see more positive reviews. I just finished watching it and cried. I liked it, a solid 4/5. I don't know who thought it was slow and drawn out, but I was interested from the first episode, got sucked in, and was very emotionally invested in the problems Vince created for Jake. Vince was so annoying, I don't like such stupid characters. I've loved Jude Law since childhood, I've admired him. He looks great. His curly hair in the finale at the bar was very distracting", — sofa9221

"Your Friends & Neighbors"
Drama | 4.14 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons | 2025–...
Successful manager Andrew Cooper is going through a crisis: after a painful divorce and dismissal, his familiar life is falling apart. To save his finances and family, he decides to secretly steal from his wealthy neighbors in an elite neighborhood. At first, it seems like an easy way to cope with his difficulties, but soon Cooper finds himself caught up in a web of secrets, intrigue, and danger.
"It's great when you know nothing about a project and have no expectations, but it turns out to be very lively. Sometimes you start watching a movie and immediately get the feeling that it's going to be a great film. That's how I felt here—a good, full-length film is beginning. It has a solid exposition and many storylines that are interesting to follow. Let's see how it turns out in the end. I hope it doesn't all fall apart, as is often the case", — yurkaaaa
"I started watching this series because of the popular video for the song Turn The Lights Off. I liked the actor so much that I immediately wanted to watch it — and I wasn't disappointed, Jon Hamm is gorgeous", — EyeOfTheRaven
"The series itself didn't grab me, so I decided to watch it for background noise. But the way the plot unfolds became interesting from the moment in the bar. So far, my conclusion is this: devoting your whole life to your career and making money for a better life is not the same as a successful and happy life. You can easily lose it all in an instant, and no one will give you back the years you spent working like a dog", — Nessi_26

"The Rehearsal"
Comedy | 4.08 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons | 2022–...
Nathan Fielder and his team reconstruct scenes from the real lives of the show's participants using detailed sets, actors, and numerous rehearsals to give people the opportunity to play out different scenarios of real upcoming events. Sometimes these rehearsals involve ordinary everyday situations, and sometimes they involve deeply emotional experiences, such as family conversations or serious life choices.
"An amazing show, totally awesome. The finale is, in fact, a real tragedy, embodying the familiar story of what we would do differently if we had the chance. Fielder's series is truly filled with this understanding humanity: he has every opportunity to remove our mistakes, replay them, and seemingly correct them, but in the end, it all boils down to the fact that even with the most rehearsed action, you can never escape the unexpected, and there is nothing wrong with that", — Bullseye0901
"It's art, literally something on the edge, both familiar and radically new. The result is a very reflective series, and most importantly, a very empathetic one. Yes, we are shown that you can't rehearse life, that it can be scary and even unethical, as was the case with the little child. But still, it can be very useful to put yourself in someone else's shoes in order to understand them, or to better understand yourself. Wonderful", — Tonybofthedead

"Pluribus"
Drama, sci-fi | 4.18 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season | 2025–...
Writer Carol is one of the few who remain immune to a mysterious virus that has turned almost all of humanity into a single collective mind. While the rest dissolve into the collective consciousness, Carol retains her individuality and critical thinking. She tries to understand the nature of the virus and find a way to restore people's free will.
"One of the best pilot episodes of the last decade. You sit in complete suspense throughout the entire episode, with absolutely no idea what will happen next. Absolutely amazing. Ray Sihorn is magnificent. Vince Gilligan is a master of his craft. I'll be eagerly awaiting the next episodes. I hope they'll be just as interesting", — Andrey1555
"Overall, I liked everything, it was enjoyable to watch. Yes, I fast-forwarded some parts because I wanted more action, but I also enjoyed the measured style in some places. I saw some similarities with Westworld, where people also fell in love with artificial intelligence, and Black Mirror, which had stories about a character experiencing feelings for an "unreal" object. And "weirdos" — for ordinary people, they are "unreal," they are like artificial intelligence — they say what people want to hear, they echo them, but deep down they pursue their own ultimate goals... I'll be eagerly awaiting the second season", — zaikinalexander

"Slow Horses"
Drama, thriller | 4.36 out of 5 on MyShows | 5 seasons | 2022–...
Slow Horses is a division of the British intelligence agency MI5, where agents who have failed their assignments and found themselves in a career rut end up. They do boring paperwork and endure ridicule from their superiors, but they have the skills and experience of real spies. Despite their disgraced status, they find themselves involved in dangerous affairs, conspiracies, and threats to national security, where their unconventional approach and quick wits help them unravel complex intrigues.
"The beginning of the season is marked by the same excellent atmosphere that was inherent in the beginning of the story. I admit, the opening credits evoked a feeling of jubilation. Gary Oldman is definitely the dominant link here, but Rivers' character is like that wayward son whom you openly scold but adore with your eyes. It's a good start, and I'm curious to see what happens next," — goosberrytart
"After each episode, the final credits leave me with one thought: 'This is wonderful!' I love this series with all my heart. I will watch it again and again. The humor, the cool Lamb, the distinctive characters — it's delightful," — snorkelle

The task came in second place, the plot seemed simpler, but in general it clung and did not allow to move to "stop watching"
If you look at the total, then out of many 200k ratings (imdb, kinopoisk, maishou), Saul has more than 1.1 million, breaking bad for 3.5 million…
Upd. I checked it out. Only the "Transitional Age" has 1,700 more viewers. Taking into account the release dates, it's not even a fact that it's more popular. That is, a nominee in the category of the most popular new TV series of the year on the service, and at the same time underestimated
And so... What kind of underrated hit is he??? very much appreciated.
Of all that I remember, of course, the Pluribus has a very pleasant aftertaste.
The task is very good, but I looked and forgot
The second season's rehearsal is great, but it's too specific.
Rabbit and the Neighbors are like Task, but weaker, it's not clear at all what they're doing here)
My logic is this)
"My Son's Girlfriend" was interesting to talk about after watching.
"Out of many" / Pluribus - not impressed, although I haven't watched it yet. Let there be a voice for him then. I abandoned the horses in the first season. I haven't reached the others yet.
That's how things are in my lady's opinion!
It's the same story with the series of many. The series is about nothing, but it was advertised that way... By the way, people are attracted to advertising, so we have increased the rating for this day.
But how did "out of many" get into this collection and by what criteria
Rather, it is "overrated"
John Hamm❤️❤️❤
but the series is very fairly rated and simply brilliant in its impeccable mix of sarcastic humor, spy thriller and character chemistry!
Gary Oldman has already earned at least one Emmy. Except that it is underestimated in this regard.
And they were cool not only last year, but they also claim to be the title of the hit TV series of the 2020s in general.
I'm not interested in the rest of the selection, although I come across underrated series quite often in my lists. Well, what can you do, everyone has different tastes)
"Rehearsal"- well, you have to have a great desire to watch to the end and be charmed. Ms viewers won't vote for him.
"Horses.".they can be called truly Hidden gems, but not for the last season- a complete disappointment, since the new season is coming soon.
"Out of many,"thank you for pushing this inferiority back somewhere.
I've already taken note of them.
Of the many, the task is both series have entered.
The rest has been added and will be reviewed sometime)
Of the many, I watched 7 episodes, the series is not very good, I have no desire to watch it.
Almost no one even mentions him in the comments, they are so disgusted with him. And the second season, by the way, expands the scope of Fielder's ideas: he has his own airport, his own vocal show and a speech at a congress with a serious industry problem!
For this reason, I consider it necessary to share, in case someone will also be interested. 🤗
