I'm sure nobody else has been watching it, but I'm gonna nominate The Bonus Family (Netflix) anyway.

your conversation about it had me add it to my queue. what's the draw?

lol, i watched five minutes of Perpetual Grace with my partner and she muttered "i don't know what the fuck is going on here" and wandered off so it looks like i'm gonna have to try this one on my own.

Lots of things. The baroque interlocking relationships of the various characters (at one point, one person introduces herself to another at a party by saying something like "I'm your boyfriend's ex's husband's first wife") is hilarious, but I also find the portrait of Swedish society in general very interesting and funny, plus I enjoy listening to the language as a study aid.

Little nudge here and am nominating:
Mum (BBC2)Infinity Train (Cartoon Network)

Just watched Undone, maybe my least favorite universally beloved series of the year
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Monday, 30 December 2019 05:58 (four years ago) link
does that mean you didn't like it or just in comparison to the universal beloveding

I think of 63 Up as a movie, but would concede to UK viewers if it is seen there as more of a short TV series.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 30 December 2019 14:16 (four years ago) link
somewhere in between? idk I liked some moments here and there but by the end it just sort of fell flat for me

The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
― Chris L, Monday, 30 December 2019 14:30 (four years ago) link
i found undone occasionally predictable, as it hews close to tropes, but extremely satisfying nonetheless

think of 63 Up as a movie, but would concede to UK viewers if it is seen there as more of a short TV series.This and 56 Up were three episodes; most of the other adult ones have been two episodes.

I wouldn't have even bothered nominating it but I remembered that there's at least like two other ILXors who recognize its (late) greatness so
The OA (Netflix)

i can't defend this as it is objectively horrible (the description of "aggretsuko for manbabies"isn't necessarily wrong) but it's kinda worth throwing into the mix imoAfrica no Salaryman (Tokyo FX)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmXjkKnXo8M

Well, since Esmail had to go and actually wrap things up in a satisfactory enough fashion that I've gone from side-eyeing the whole endeavor to thinking that I might conceivably recommend it to the uninitiated with minimal reservationsMr. Robot (USA)

I was well into this but that second season was lame (could see the BIG TWIST a mile off and I'm generally terrible at spotting these things). Ive been reliably informed by friends that its gotten much better
