Watch John from Cincinnati Unsolved Mysteries (CBS) 1998-1999 Shown: hosts Robert Stack and Virginia Madsen Unsolved Mysteries But it’s quite good, in a Twin Peaks/Carnivale kind of way. It’s set in present day surfing community in California and tries to capture a tone of “surf noir” with some supernatural mixed in. It is perhaps better known, however, for its incredibly realistic depiction of sex. Tell Me You Love Me is a one-season wonder about three different couples seeking out a therapist for intimacy problems within their relationships. When people derisively refer to HBO as the “T&A” network, Tell Me You Love Meis probably what they have in mind. It’s amazing that this show got on network television at all, let alone for three seasons. Hannibal is both unspeakably violent and pretty. Mads Mikkelsen portrays classic film and literature cannibal Hannibal Lector while Hugh Dancy plays Will Graham, a forensic psychiatrist destined to become Hannibal’s main foe. The show comes from TV wunderkind Bryan Fuller (you may know him by his show Pushing Daisiesor as the guy who is helping bring Star Trek back to TV) and it’s absolutely decadent. Perhaps one of the most visually-striking series in recent memory, Hannibal is an assault on the senses. And you’re not going to believe this, but it doesn’t quite go well. Humans is set in a near future in which average middle class families are turning more and more to human-like robots called “synths” to help with household tasks. This is a shame because Humans is quite good and even spectacular in a handful of episodes. It’s the show that introduced us to the onscreen and offscreen talents of Bob Odenkirk ( Better Call Saul) and David Cross ( Arrested Development), not to mention the talents of writers Sarah Silverman, Scott Aukerman, Jack Black, Tom Kenny, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Paul F. Show is one of the best comedy sketch shows of the ’90’s, if not ever. The show ran for eight years and close to 250 episodes (woah), with Andy Griffith playing the sheriff main character of a small fictional town and Don Knotts and Ron Howard launching themselves into television history. There may be no better example of happy place TV than the Mayberry, North Carolina setting of Andy Griffith Show. But sometimes television is just supposed to be a happy place. Good television can challenge us and intrigue us. Television fulfills many roles within our society. Wade out into the undiscovered country, brave explorer! Andy Griffith Show There is plenty to love here thanks to Amazon’s relationships with heavy-hitters like FX and HBO but even beyond that there is much virgin land to be discovered. With that in mind we’ve compiled a list of the best TV Amazon has to offer…that you didn’t know were on Amazon. That’s fantastic news for the TV fan but it also jeopardizes that some perfectly fine-to-great TV shows might get lost in the shuffle among all the new quality.
