What's a good tv show you'd recommend that not many people seem to have seen?

Mine is The Patriot on prime. Got cancelled after 2 seasons but holy shit it's amazing!

Better off Ted was an amazing sitcom on working in a mega-corp. The characters were all great, the jokes hit, I couldn't say enough about that show but it only lasted 2 seasons.
- I can second better off ted. Very quippy and quirky in the best of ways.
  
  Jabberwocky!
- The CEO lady was the best
  
  She was, played by Portia de rossi. So mean, yet still likeable.

Clone High was amazing.
- Never heard of it what's it about
  
  High school with clones of historical figures
  
  The theme song sums it up nicely:
  Way way back in the 1980's
  secret government employees
  dug up famous guys and ladies
  and made amusing genetic copies
  Well those clones are sexy teens now
  They're gonna make it if they try
  Living, learning, sharing, judging
  Time to laugh and shiver and cry
  Clone High!
  Highlights not covered by the theme song:
  Robot butler / vice principle
  Narrator is called "pun dog"
  The voice talents of Will Forte and Christa Miller
  at some point they knew they weren't getting a second season and went balls out
- The original was fantastic and I re-watched it last year, before I even knew they rebooted it. The new reboot missed the mark for me. Couldn’t get into it.

Depends on your definition of good but Lexx is certainly a show that exists.
- Brunnen-G anthem - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYoq6sovr8Y
- Lexx
  It's without a doubt the very best Canadian–German co-production science fiction television series ever created!

- Dark has been a big hit in Serbia for some reason , i never finished it but i love s1 and 2
  Also another german one is "How to sell drugs online (fast)" and its rly cool one

Got cancelled after 2 seasons
Firefly and Freaks and Geeks were each cancelled after one season. Both great shows which ended too soon.
- Firefly was technically cancelled mid season
  
  Huh, interesting. I don't remember it ending on a cliffhanger.

The Patriot was great.
The Brothers Sun on Netflix was really good, and had some surprisingly well choreographed fight scenes.
John Claude Van Johnson was better than it had a right to be.
Bodkin was good, although that was a bit more popular I think.
A Man in Full
Eric
- The Patriot by Michael Bay?
  
  It's this show it's a fucking masterpiece but barely anyone has seen it

Gotta know your piping!
The Americans is pretty good and also from the espionage genre like The Patriot. Up there with all the top tier shows for me. 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. Yet none of my friends or family have seen or heard about it.

Detectorists
For All Mankind
- I love for all mankind! Worth getting apple just to watch that

The Middleman! - It was a one season amazing comedy/action show based on the graphic novels by Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Les McClaine. Staring Natalie Morales and Matt Keesler. It was campy and fun, and it was lost on a backwater cable channel so about 200 people ever watched it.

- Usher was really good. Pantheon was excellent!

Miss Scarlet and the Duke

The Decameron on Netflix. Hilarious, well acted, interesting characters with development, gorgeous sets and costumes. One season contained so you aren't worried about it getting cancelled.
But the real hero of the show is the DOP. Each shot looks like a renaissance painting. Every single one. Play the first episode and role some dice. Pause it that many minutes in and enjoy the art.
