What obscure tv shows do you remember watching, but no one else really watched or remembers it so you feel alone?

I have a few. I used to love watching certain shows but no one I knew watched it. So it felt like I was the only one at times.

Hex
Dollhouse
Dark Angel
Roswell (the original not the newer one)
Firefly

Blake's Seven

( I have not watched any on your list OP but I like the look of it!)

Johnny Staccato starring John Cassavetes.

I got into it as a student when it was shown late at night, maybe on Channel 4? Cracking jazz theme tune and incidental music.

I can remember a series called Cover Up.

Anyone else remember that?

Watched hex, really liked it, it's on amazon prime free BTW but I think was cancelled. Until I met one friend I was always puzzled about something I watched, but turned out to be let the blood run free. Apparently quite obscure haha.

CharlottenBurger · 04/06/2023 16:03

Mapp and Lucia in the 1980s. I actually didn't like it much, except for Geraldine McEwan's delicious impression of a Morningside accent. It has been called 'wonderfully camp' which is what tried my patience. I watched the episodes with a kind of grim fascination, I thought at the time. And now I miss it. I don't know anyone who ever watched it or who has heard of EF Benson. I do see today that lots of the episodes are on Youtube, so...

Yes. Jon-Erik Hexum was so beautiful and then he accidentally killed himself with a gun on set Sad

TheOnlyMooncat · 04/06/2023 16:07

I loved Dark Angel. Also have Garth Mareghi's Darkplace on DVD.
I've never met anyone who watched The Fades. It was on BBC3 and was kind of horror and had the bloke who plays Fitz in Agents of Shield in it. And Daniel Kaluuya.
I was devastated they never made a second series.

@CharlottenBurger Mapp & Lucia: It was awful. (imho). The books were not strong but were nuanced.
