Lesser-known?

The Time Tunnel.

• Odyssey 5 (Only lasted a season, but damn...)

• Boardwalk Empire (for some reason the least talked about and most forgotten HBO show)

• Into the Badlands (Deserved a longer life. Great martial arts action in a post-apocalypse)

• First Wave (Nostrodamus, Conspiracy theories and the first wave of an secret Alien invasion)

• Seven Days (The younger lapaglia brother jumps back in time 7 days to prevent various threats)

• Sense8 (strangers from all over the world find themselves linked mentally for some reason)

Corner Gas, brilliant comedy about a tiny Saskatchewan town set around a gas station that is connected to a diner and the oddball people that live there.

You'll come for the quaint setting, stay for the Jackass screaming Oscar.

Mr Inbetween is an excellent Aussie show. Haven't found anything else that captures our culture so well.

Not sure where the bar sits for obscure / under the radar. There's plenty of more popular shows I normally recommend.

Keeping it less known I guess:

Sense8 - slow start but cool concept

The goes wrong show - brilliant little piece of British theatre humour. Some great recurring gags

And second another commenter's recommendation of you're the worst as a good laugh.

Border Line - British mockumentary that follows airport security forces. Even though The Office was British originally, this feels like they took they the US' Office and put their spin on that. There's definitely a Michael, a Dwight, a Pam and Jim etc. It's pretty fucking funny, but unfortunately they only made 2 seasons before it got canceled.

M.A.S.H.

I’m going to recommend the 1970s BBC series “Survivors”. It’s kind of like Walking Dead lite, without the zombies.

Avoid the 2000s remake though. It’s ridiculous.

I also recommend the 1971 BBC series I mentioned in another thread, about a futuristic fascist government in Britain: “the Guardians”.

Murdoch Mysteries is the only show I keep up with weekly. It's Victorian, Canadian CSI.

I didn’t see these:
Halt and Catch Fire (AMC)
For all Man Kind (Apple TV)

Children Of The Stones, 1977 British childrens' horror show. A historian and his young son visit a small village whose residents hold secrets about an ancient stone monument.

Like most 70s British TV, there's no production budget, and entirely dependent on script writing and actors to create atmosphere.

The Lost Room.

Not sure where you can find it, though.

Life on Mars (2008, the US version.)

Halt and Catch Fire
