I admittedly just have one (so far) but it’s one that I will never stop recommending despite its short length and the fact that it was cancelled after a single season— Dead Boy Detectives. I never saw a single person say anything bad about it, and everyone I recommended it to— even those who considered themselves much less interested in the genre, style of show, or whatever— without fail fell head over heels for this wonderful show. All the characters are super likable (yes, including the antagonists, and I don’t just mean in a “you love to hate them” way— you genuinely find yourself thinking about them affectionately the same way you would a friend, even when you hate them), the character dynamics are gold, the comedy is quirky but never misses, the VISUAL BUDGET is insane, the emotion feels real (even at times getting me, a famously pretty disaffected person among my friends, to feel my heartrate speeding up and chest constricting in those particularly sad or scary moments) and best of all, you can tell the actors are having a fantastic time playing their roles. It’s genuinely inspiring and I love this show with all my heart.

Also, the foreshadowing in the intro (which absolutely slaps) is incredible— every new episode you’re noticing new things from it that suddenly make a world more sense. Also just the foreshadowing in the show in general. Not to mention that the soundtrack absolutely SLAPS.
