I have a really bad habit of returning to shows rather than seeking new ones. Like with music or anything else - I don't fall in love with things easily but when I do - I get obsessed with it and hold it very close to my heart.
Some of my favourite shows over the recent years have been comedies. Community, Arrested Development, 30 Rock, the Office, Parks and Rec, Brooklyn Nine Nine. I also rekindled my love for Doctor Who (I recently met the cast at a convention and they are inspirational, warm and were very kind). Despite the internet memes, Rick and Morty is a clever and very human show despite the zaniness, and Bojack Horseman really knows how to pack an emotional punch with each episode after the first few introductory ones. Archer is crude, animated throwback fun.
As for newer ones; I really love the silliness of Angie Tribeca and the philosophical fun of The Good Place. I also love Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and I'm sad that this season is the final one. Lady Dynamite (cancelled, but had two brilliant seasons) is absolutely whimsical but heartfelt; and touches on a bit about dealing with mental illness.
More serious things, I really loved Broadchurch. Came onto it by accident and was hooked by the first episode. Black Mirror is really great for some strong discussion points about technology, sci-fi and humanity.
Not sure if this is also the place for Japanese animation - but I really love anime from way back like Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and Evangelion. The most recent one I watched (by accident on Netflix) that I really fell in love with was one called Kids on the Slope about two students that bring jazz to life at their town.
