Underrated TV shows

Becker.

Was watching it again the other day and forgot how good it was. Such a grumpy campaigner (and the perfect definition of one!) and he plays it perfectly. Rest of the cast are great too.

What are yours?

Two broke girls. They have really good chemistry together. only watched a few eps, but it's not bad.

I guess this is where the definition of "underrated" comes into play - as opposed to "overlooked".

A series that has an overall rating of 88 on Metacritic can't be "underrated". https://www.metacritic.com/tv/rectify

While Freaks and Geeks is "rated"- by those who have watched it- it was criminal that didnt get at least one more season.

Yeah I actually watched maybe 10 or so minutes of it the other day- wasnt half bad.

A show called Lano and Woodley that was out around early 2000's.
Most underrated show I know.

The Middle

Most definitely unpopular around these parts, but King of Queens.

It was a ripper I reckon.

I have always thought Person of Interest was pretty underrated compared to The Blacklist. Pretty similar concepts, but the former was IMO a much smarter and more engaging show despite pulling much lower numbers.

I loved the first season of POI then for some reason just never got back around to watching it again.
I will have to put it on my catch up to watch list.

Definitely do it. I liked the show in the first season, but it got much better in the second and third seasons. Moved away from the case-of-the-week format and into more involved ongoing arcs.

Also one of those shows that finished at pretty much exactly the right time. Went out on top, but got a half season after cancellation to wrap up all the loose ends.

Good call; created by Jonathon Nolan and you can see it as a forerunner to Westworld.

Agents of Shield. Got off to a ropey start and a lot of fans bailed but it really built up to an excellent show, particularly between seasons 2 and 5. If you like Marvel films, there's no reason you wouldn't like it.

MCU movies have charm despite rarely straying from 3-star territory because its 2.5-3 hours of your life then you move on. Suspect watching 136 45-minute episodes of the same thing with a worse budget would get old fast.

The Adventures of Lano and Woodley? That was originally aired on the ABC in the late 90s, definitely an underrated show that deserved more credit.

Yep that's the one. Awesome show that should still be talked about today.

It kind of reminded me of lots of shows from the past. Neither it or Blacklist grabbed me enough to watch more than a few episodes.

PoI started off as a fairly uninteresting case-of-the-week action procedural for the first season or so. It became more interesting later on, and by the end of its run I would say it is one of the better sci fi shows I’ve seen.

It’s outrageous. It’s contagious.

One of my favourite comedy shows, don't think it's underrated though, it's pretty highly rated at least in the UK, it's not quite so well known here.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Just finished watching Black Monday, its good and it has some funny movements. Worth a watch

 

[brutus76]

The Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno incredible Hulk... more about the struggle internally and search for a cure rather than being a hero or monster.

Due South was another. A mountie in Chicago who never/rarely used a gun (like MacGyver)

Super Hans is one of my favorite TV show characters of all time, and I was madly in love with Dobby.
