"Severance"
Drama, sci-fi | 4.44 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons | 2022–...
Mark works for the Lumon Corporation and agrees to undergo severance — a medical procedure that completely separates his work memories from his personal ones. At work, he knows nothing about life outside the office, and outside of work, he has no memory of what he does inside the company. Gradually, Mark and his colleagues begin to notice oddities in Lumon's work and question the purpose of the severance, leading them to attempt to uncover the truth about the company and themselves.
"The cast, the plot, the filming — everything is just perfect. This series is definitely set to become a classic, like Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad. At the very least, a classic of its genre. It's funny to think that TV series as a format essentially originated just a couple of decades ago, and it seems that we are now in their heyday. More precisely, series like this one prompt such thoughts", — Laedde
"I finished watching the season and want to write a warning for those who have just started watching the series: if I had known that the whole season would raise so many questions, theories, and misunderstandings, but by the end of the final episode we would only find out the answers to the least significant questions, and we would not be given any clues to the main mysteries, I would not have watched it. At least not until all the seasons are out, but it's unclear when that will be and how many there will be", — pohititel_teney
"The strangest series ever. I hope that over time it will develop into a solid story, and not just strangeness for the sake of strangeness. So far, everything looks intriguing. I really liked the visuals", — Florance

"IT: Welcome to Derry"
Drama, horror | 4.19 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season | 2025–...
The action takes place in the town of Derry, Maine, several decades before the events of "IT". At first glance, it seems like a normal provincial town, but an ancient evil lurks beneath its peaceful facade. Children are disappearing, violent incidents are occurring, and an atmosphere of fear is growing. Gradually, the characters realize that Derry has long been under the influence of a sinister force — a creature that feeds on human fear and is capable of taking on different forms.
"Definitely a great series and finale overall. The way they tied in the rest of King's books and both movies at the end is simply beyond words. Personally, I felt this episode lacked a bit of Pennywise's cruelty, but otherwise, it's 10/10. I hope they don't cancel the second and third seasons after Netflix bought it and that they film the sequel as soon as possible", — natefprice
"The season finale was fantastic. Surprisingly so. To be honest, when I started watching, I didn't expect much (maybe that's why I liked it so much in the end) and even thought about quitting after the first two episodes. But in the middle, the season really picked up, and by the finale, it was off the charts. And all these references to the movie — just honey", — Naizust
"It's obvious right away: they poured a lot of money into this. The visuals are expensive, the lighting, the sets, the atmosphere — everything is done on a grand scale. Derry looks exactly as it should: sticky, disturbing, and unpleasant. But, unfortunately, that's where the pros end. The main problem with the series is the characters' extreme stupidity. And not everyday stupidity, but scripted stupidity, when people make decisions not because it's logical, but because the plot needs to go somewhere. Sometimes you get the feeling that all the characters are clinical idiots, and that kills any tension. You don't worry about them because they actively run into problems themselves, taking the most idiotic steps possible... Outwardly, everything is expensive, but inside, it's empty. The potential was huge, but it was realized as if they were afraid to do something truly harsh and intelligent. In short: the series is held together only by Pennywise and the visuals. Everything else is mediocre, sometimes annoying, and downright stupid", — chokan007

"Pluribus"
Drama, sci-fi | 4.18 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season | 2025–...
Writer Carol is one of the few people unaffected by a mysterious virus that has turned almost all of humanity into a collective mind. In a world where people lose their individuality and submit to a collective consciousness, she retains her independent thinking and sense of self. Carol tries to understand the nature of the infection and find a way to free humanity from its lost free will.
"I like the unhurried pace of this series... It's interesting to watch not a film where the whole Armageddon is resolved in 2.5 hours, but a story where completely ordinary people behave completely normally in an incredibly terrible situation, which is very realistic. Carol doesn't have any superpowers or super intelligence, she's an ordinary woman who finds herself in an incredible situation, practically alone, and does what she can and experiences tragedy as best she can. It's a completely different take on survival series, with lots of silent scenes that leave you a little pensive after watching", — Anlyness
"After the sixth episode, my interest dropped significantly. There hasn't been anything better than the first two episodes so far. I understand that Gilligan isn't about constant dynamics, but it's time to pick up the pace here. Even in the first season of Breaking Bad, everything seemed to be going more cheerfully. So far, all the features of the virus cause more confusion than interest. Gilligan usually skillfully introduces, arranges, and plays up interesting characters, creating connections between them so that they generate cool scenes both together and separately. Here, there's no one to really latch onto. Sihorn is an excellent actress, but Carol is not a character I want to root for. Yes, there are some cool extras, but only for a short time. Everyone else either causes rejection or evokes nothing. I'm still waiting for something to really hook me. It's certainly better than the overrated "The Division," but I want more concentrated action", — Hero_Jesus

"Stranger Things"
Drama, fantasy | 4.58 out of 5 on MyShows | 5 seasons | 2016–2025
At first glance, the town of Hawkins seems quiet and ordinary, but in the early 1980s, strange events begin to occur. After the disappearance of a boy named Will Byers, his friends encounter the existence of a parallel world — the sinister Upside Down. At the same time, a girl named Eleven appears in Hawkins, possessing supernatural abilities and connected to secret government experiments.
"Almost 10 years, 5 seasons, 42 episodes, liters of tears, thank you to the Duffer brothers for such a wonderful series. Yes, not everything turned out perfectly, but that doesn't diminish the merits of the series in any way. All the emotions I went through, I grew up with these characters, they all became like family to me — and I'm sure I'll return to this story many more times", — Kin0cretin
"Honestly, it's disappointing for the finale of such a grand show. There are unexpected moments, like when Hop shot the water tank. But the problem is that everyone involved in the series, and the fans themselves, set the bar very high, and in fact, it turned out to be a letdown. The main antagonists were so poorly written that even the battle with the Demogorgon in the early seasons was more epic. And making the main villains the military is so cliché and boring", — Narimanich
"Fans, forgive me, but after such a finale, the title of best horror season in this format goes to the series Welcome to Derry. We were officially fed promises of something super-mega-epic, but in reality, everything is much simpler. Although I'm glad that all the characters we were so worried about survived in the end. So many bets went nowhere", — Hidji

"Daredevil: Born Again"
Drama, fantasy | 4 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons | 2025–...
Blind lawyer Matt Murdock lives in New York and fights for justice in a mask: in this guise, he is known as Daredevil. He faces danger once again when Wilson Fisk, a former crime boss, becomes mayor of the city and tightens his grip on it. Murdoch is forced to confront corruption and threats from Fisk, protecting both the law and innocent residents.
"Eh, I tried to take a positive view of the series all along, but in the end, it was still disappointing, with some bright moments, but disappointing nonetheless. Cole North, who was an interesting character with iron principles in the comics, is just another dimwit from Fisk's gang here. It's unclear why they didn't just give him a different name. I expected Frank to give a powerful speech, like in the comics, where there should be a place for law enforcement officers and where he belongs — outside the law, but no, Frank just growled about how much it hurt him and how they couldn't understand. I expected to see Josie Luke, Danny, and Jessica behind the bar door, but there were only nobodies there. I hope that now that the creators have the opportunity to tell a coherent, compelling story in the second season, they will show their best side", — simple_man
"I liked the ending. Not everything is perfect, yes, but either I'm not a very sophisticated viewer, or most people's expectations are too high. What do you want, if the MCU is on a conveyor belt, the goal is not to satisfy the viewer or do something worthwhile, but to make money. Not every Marvel project can be like Spider-Man: No Way Home, where the whole movie is fan service, or some other project where everything is canon. So I'm just trying to enjoy the show for what it is", — upback

@terryleedp: May there be a
srachdiscussion πFor me, out of many. They came up with a great idea with a terrible heroine (not to read like an actress or as an LGBT), and it's soooo slow and boring... And I'm not even a buzzer, and I like to get stuck.
In second place, it would be followed by division, which is also very tedious and boring.
It was a shock for me to see Very strange things in this collection, because it is generally a masterpiece for many centuries. And then it was even more shocking that people in this category actively voted for him. Maybe it's not their genre. But then why watch it, I don't like thrillers and I don't watch them, let them shout about them from every pipe. In short, questions
I just haven't tried it, I don't like horror, but I can't get my head around it, not my heroes)
Well, the vote is not entirely for "Stranger Things", but exclusively for the fifth season, for the ending of the series.
The series on "It" was hard to watch at first, but the final episodes were really good.
I would also like to kick them for the ending here)))
In osd, I like the first 4 seasons, but 5...it seemed average, not too bad, but not original either...Plus, some storylines seemed to be omitted, not fully told. Although considering how the finale was shot, it's not surprising. Plus, because of the Duffer scandals, some unpleasant aftertaste remained from the series as a whole..
I really liked it, but the end is also peculiar, in terms of the fact that the children saved the whole world again, and the great evil just fell away, it was also so simple..(I understand that there is no death per se for pennywise, but it still doesn't get any better).
Out of many, I'm watching it, and this is a rather controversial series for me (because of the slow narration), but interesting in terms of ideas. Rather, I already understand that the series is good, but it's just not my thing.
Okay, if it's about the case, then the "OSD" was doubtful in places, of course, because of all sorts of jamming into an important part of the plot of the Cumingouts. But the series was memorable and interesting.
But I watched the new launch of Daredevil through the force, and it didn't stand out for almost anything and seemed delayed. So my vote will definitely go for him.
and about daredevil... What is he doing on this list anyway? all the discussion about Matt Murdock's return that I came across on the Internet came down to "well, what kind of meh" and "why did Foggy get killed". and this reaction is understandable, because the season was modeled from two separate stories and it didn't work out very well to make friends with them.
Separation. The narrative is too measured for me. But was it overrated?
Out of many. I'm sure it's also a controversial series for many. For various reasons. But I didn't notice any overhyping on it either.
OSD. Well, that's the highlight. The last season was a disappointment for many. But many people are also delighted with him. Someone in principle. And someone because of the same scene with Will. And I consider this moment to be overrated as much as possible. So my vote is for OSD.
Season 1 - gorgeous, great. It was necessary to stop there.
Season 2 is as average as possible.
Season 3 - season 4 will go well on the whole. If you cut an arch with Mike, Will, and 50% of the time, Eleven would be great.
Season 5 is a mediocre script, it's clear that the authors themselves didn't know what was going on and where it was going. A bunch of characters who have a small amount of screen time, on which you can just score or immediately cut out. In the first 4 episodes, nothing happens at all, it could fit into 1 episode. And there's no reason to drag out and show the growth of these very characters (except Oddie, Will, and, a little bit, Dustin). The safest, toothless ending that leaves nothing behind. Total: lost focus, failed pacing. The main characters that were convex and alive in season 1 have become cardboard. Mike and the black one (I even forgot his name, he's so useless) are especially bad. Will, in principle, has always been just a function.
P.S. The most interesting thing is Vecna (although the character was better in season 4) and Dustin and Steve's bromance (although it became caricatured in season 5).
The fifth season even ended the same way as the first - supergirl leaves, the rest move on. But at least Finn and Millie played it much better in the first one. It was simply impossible to watch their game in the fifth season.
Damn, sorry, I got distracted and forgot to put it under the spoiler, now I can't fix it. I'm really sorry.
That's why you need to be able to edit a comment for at least a day, ten minutes is very short (
And to delete because of the cons is a cringe, then you shouldn't have written, or let your feelings transformed into letters be ignored, don't you care?
And no, I don't like to see evidence of my mistakes in the past)) and sometimes people misunderstand what they have written, because it was expressed inaccurately, but it can no longer be changed. π€·π»βοΈ
Well, there's plenty of time, I think we'll wait for the implementation of the MyShows idea with ratings))
And I'M IN FAVOR of deletion)) if you are satisfied with everything, do not delete it)) As it is, I even clean the wall in VK every few years.
What if in 10 years they will issue a law prohibiting the writing of the phrase "categorical opinion"? What will you do? They'll put you in jail! π€£
P.S.: If I repent, will they forgive me?π
I'm going to be sitting for a bunch of comments on the queen series ...
and even if for the checkmate...
You sho! Only Russian TV series to discuss! It looks like we need to start watching, otherwise there won't be anything to say at all.
In my case, just try to discuss Koreans or Hurrem Sultan.
@RinaAri: There's something to itπ§

You vote purely on your own intuition and feelings, it's not possible to guess the winners.
I still think we're talking about specific seasons that were released in 2017. As well as in other nominations.
