Severance is probably in my top 3 TV shows of all time, so I'm probably a good candidate for answering this, lol. It may even be tied with Season 1 of Westworld for being my all-time favorite piece of television.

My tastes tend toward prestige dramas that have something substantial to say about the human experience. Especially those with a speculative fiction element to them.

Some of the shows I'd list as favorites:

• Westworld. Well, really just Season 1, plus a couple of notable high points of Season 2. I'm of the opinion that it fell off a cliff in Season 3 and never really quite returned to form.

• Better Call Saul. I consider Severance to have some of the best, most interesting cinematography I've seen in a prestige drama. BCS is up there too, as far as that's concerned. Gorgeous shots that also carry meaning in their visual presentation. Slow burn, very character driven, but incredibly compelling.

• Carnivale. Cancelled before its time, Carnivale was part of the first wave of premium cable prestige dramas in the 2000s. It's excellent the whole way through, but it does end on a cliffhanger. (A sudden one, too. They could have ended it a few minutes earlier and had more of a conclusion, imo.)

• Twin Peaks. I'm also a huge David Lynch fan, so of course Twin Peaks is on my list. Even if something like Mulholland Drive isn't your cup of tea, Twin Peaks is worth watching, imo.

• Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad is one of the top shows of all time for a reason. While it definitely has a degree of widespread popular appeal, it's also got some depth to it.

• The Haunting of Hill House. I'm a huge horror fan, this one was pretty good. Flanagan's work in general tends to be very good.

• Dark. Never got all that far, but Dark is highly recommended and would probably be up your alley.
