Default Underrated Series

1. Siren


sign the petition everyone, to save this, us hopefully getting a season 4 some year

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series, the acting is very good, the visuals are amazing, the storytelling is also very neat (up there with quality shows back in the day like Xena or even BTVS/Angel) proper mermaid series

standout actors for me Eline Powell (Pauwels) as Ryn, Rena Owen as Helen Hawkins, David Cubitt as Ted Pownall, Ian Verdun as Xander McClure


2. FlashForward

shame this one got cancelled after just one season, had so much potential either

3. Terra Nova

understandable for cancelling if too expensive, but such a wholesome ''jurassic park'' vibe of a series

4. The Event

another show with potential like flashforward tbh very different, alternative storyline

1. Hannibal

2. The Chicago Code

3. The Fades

4. BBC's Atlantis

The BBC for once weren't kidding around when they made this. But seriously it's a fun Show, with admittedly some rough elements in there, but overall it's better than a lot of the dross that gets made on UK TV.

5. Sinbad

6. Spy

7. Farscape

Such a fun, bizarre programme.

It's basically the Show that birthed ideas like Hi-Fi Rush, Sunset Overdrive, the later Saints Row Games, and even Anime like Gintama have all taken from Farscape's downright bizarre nature in it's writing style.

It's a severely underrated Show imo.

8. Star Trek: Enterprise

It was a fun Show.

Flashforward was a great concept that was really poorly executed - I can see why it didn't last to be honest.

I'd give a shout to "Heroes" - it's not well remembered because it went totally off the rails in later seasons and was cancelled, but the first few seasons were great and season 1 was actually really brilliant. A shame the ball was fumbled. It was largely because of the 2006 writer's strikes. In hindsight also an absolutely top-tier cast, a lot of the people who weren't particularly well known at the time have gone on to be much bigger stars e.g. Milo Ventimiglia, Zachary Quinto, Hayden Panettiere.

Id agree with both points made
