Here’s how this will work:

(1) Series that people in this thread have seen / discussed will be listed from Post 2 on. Separate lists will be maintained for English and non-English series. For the non-English series, the foreign language title will also be included as available (could help with locating the series). This thread is an expansion upon the work done at the following link, which is where the initial list came from. Additional titles won’t be shown until they’ve received a rating from someone. LINK

(2) TD aggregator score (0.0 to 5.0) will be shown beside the series. Only reviews or comments that contain a score will be added to the aggregation. Ratings reflect the series as a whole (all seasons).

(3) It is okay for the genres in the title to be interpreted loosely, but generally the intent is to talk about TV series that are dominated by suspenseful or mysterious components. For instance, the kind of fantasy that is Dark would be intended to be fair game, but GoT would not. Group opinion will dictate whether certain titles should be removed from the list or at least asterisked.

This is what Chicken has driven us to by not giving us a rating system for the M/TV board like he had set up for the now defunct dining guide. I applaud the OP’s ambition.

It’s called planning for the future. Gotta have vision, bro, given this imperfect system we all use.

Thanks for “getting it.” I was expecting a few initial WTF-type posts.
