What is an old show you think is great and really doesn’t get mentioned enough? Why should someone watch it?

    Sorry for doing two but this one is REALLY obscure and Wild

    Riget (The Kingdom) (1994)

    Wikipedias first sentence is a banger:

    Riget (English title: The Kingdom) is a Danish absurdist supernatural horror miniseries trilogy created by Lars von Trier and Tómas Gislason. Set in the neurosurgical ward of Copenhagen’s Rigshospitalet (lit. ‘The National Hospital’, nicknamed “Riget”, lit. ‘the realm’ or ‘the kingdom’), each episode of the show takes place over a single day, and follows the hospital’s eccentric staff and patients as they encounter bizarre and sometimes supernatural phenomena. The series is notable for its wry humor, its muted sepia colour scheme, and the appearance of a chorus of dishwashers with Down syndrome, who discuss in intimate detail the strange occurrences in the hospital.

    A film school friend of mine turned me on to this show many years ago and for a while I was obsessed with it. It’s one of the strangest yet and captivating things I have ever watch. I need to watch again as I haven’t seen it in maybe 10 years or so. Thinking about it, I may make a run through and make a post about watching it again soon.

      Don’t apologize, feel free to post as many ideas as you think of!!! I think most of us have heard many of what “THE good shows are” from the internet by now. It’s fun to see some different answers of shows people loved and I bet many people will be swayed to try some.
