Luca Di Maio

Please, next time put up The Leftovers as well!

Udo Bear

Just rewatched matrix and would looooove to get an analysis from you. It’s also a perfect match to Westworld (a.k.a the prequel to The Matrix...) please vote for Matrix

Alt Shift X

Yeah I would've included it, but haven't actually seen any of The Leftovers yet – so I couldn't be sure it'd make a good video. Next time!

Paul Vahur

If you are including old shows, then take a look at Babylon 5 - an epic space opera.

Reto Schuettel

I'd like 'The Expanse', but just think it does not have the depth to deserve a 'Alt-Shfit-X'-analysis..

Luca Di Maio

No depth in The Expanse and no characters. I don't believe you have much to talk about there :-)

Luca Di Maio

Yeah also Battlestar Galactica (2000s) and Babylon 5 would be awesome! But you would need a series of episodes for those!

The Mad Jay Woman

So many excellent choices in this list, I think it's a matter of which to do first... And thank you so very much for including DARK! I don't know why more people aren't in love with that show.

The Mad Jay Woman

Same, that would really make for a fun revisiting of that show...

2026-09-17 12:00 What about Black Mirror?
2018-08-06 13:00

Angelina Salazar-Frank

The Handmaid's Tale is my 1st choice, followed by American Gods, The Matrix and Lost. 📺

Alt Shift X

Imho Black Mirror is the best show on TV, but it's such self-contained, effective storytelling I don't think it needs Alt Shift X explanation

Alt Shift X

A lot of people haven't seen The Animatrix - the animated anthology of Matrix lore and side-stories - which is a damn shame, because it's great. Would defs include it in any Matrix video.

Sayed Iftekhar

Dark is a must... Followed by counerpart

Udo Bear

me neither - please do!!

Alt Shift X

Would be fun to do an episode-by-episode rewatch podcast or livestream show or something. 121 is a lot of episodes though..

Samantha K Enriquez

Goddamnit why are there so few people who watch The OA?! :(

Ryan Monroe

Berserk would be amazing

ChthonicPuck

Im surprised that Mr. Robot is not on here.

Rose

American Gods!! My favorite Neil Gaiman book and a good adaptation. I need more American Gods in my

Ed Kennedy

Holding out for that Expanse win. Come on Beltalowdas! For the belt!

N7Zebracakes

All of these are great. Beserk came out of left field. Sticking with the Expanse, but I'd love to see all of them at some point or another

Caelo

The Expanse is such a perfect story for your style. It has the immense depth, the storytelling mechanics, and the cinematic delivery to be on par with your best work. Yam seng!

Mel

I will have to check out Dark either way. Cool

Gray Crawford

There is so much to unpack in Dune, and your style of making it visually surveyable would truly be an asset.

Sijmen Robers

It would be great to see the whole Matrix trilogy again! Including the Animatrix and The Matrix Video Game.

Sijmen Robers

A full review of the Back to the Future timeline would have been amazing to.

A full review of the Back to the Future timeline would have been amazing to.

Paul Miailovich

You should have a runoff for the top three choices.

DscoDan

I've already read Philosophy of the Matrix so I feel pretty caught up. I feel like, as a series that is still currently running, The Expanse would be great and has a lot of potential to help people fill in.

Alexander Shershukov

The Expanse would fit really well on your channel. it's generally considered to be GoT in space with interweaving plots and characters. Character development is a huge part of this show as well. Politics, war, and an unknown threat that is ever looming over the existence of the entire humanity. It's no accident that Amazon has picked it up after the devastating cancellation by SyFy.

Zero Cool

I love Dune, I have read all the books (Herbert ones, anyway). But there hasn't really been a decent screen adaptation (yet). Sure, Lynch's Dune was good, but, that's about it. I love The Matrix. but that has been dissected by almost everyone and their grandma from head to toe by now. But, The Expanse is probably the best thing I have seen on screen in a very, very long time. Everyone is here voting for things they love from their childhoods, everyone seeing something familiar they want to cherish and see more of. But it really is a magnificent show that fans of the aforementioned series will no doubt find a place for in their hearts, if only they would give it a chance. And this is that chance. To get more exposure for the amazing show that it is. So just this once, can't we try something else?

ottawasteph

I'd vote for Handmaid, but dudes lack any reference point to understand as much as women.

Ed Akselrud

The Expanse is such a great fit for your format, especially with all the books it is based on. Lots of dense plot and character material to unpack. Would love to see it in on your channel!

Alison M Fordice

Such a tough choice, but The OA is the one that I keep going back to, re-watching parts of, and thinking about, even though it's been over a year and a half since it first came out.

RC10

The Expanse or Lost either would be fantastic! The Expanse is one of the best Sci-Fi series I've seen in ages. I'd also LOVE to see Lost as it's probably my favourite TV series ever hands down.

RC10

Wouldn't it be great!

Luca Di Maio

Alt Shift X, do you believe it still is the best show on tv? I believe it was (by far) until the xmas episodes. After that imho it was all mostly escapist rubbish disguised as a witty show.

Caleb Black

How long is the voting open and will only one have videos made?

Jasmine Jackson

Omg I got so excited to see the expanse on this list. 😁

Jasmine Jackson

I watched the OA. Liked it tons! I voted for The Expanse because it has more material to dig into and analyze, which is what this channel excelled at. In my opinion. :)

Alt Shift X

It'll close once votes stop coming in – probably a day or two. We'll do a video on the winning series, but we might also do videos on the other series in future (:

Alt Shift X

That's a good idea, might try it next time we vote..

RC10

Your getting my hopes up! To think of ASX potentially covering Lost in the future. <3

Liam Scott-Curtis

It's so close between the Expanse and Dune. I really hope you do both, at least eventually.

Henry

Definitely Expanse. The books are so good and the show is such a great adaptation - so the same kind of connecting insights you provide on ASOIAF/GOT would work really well with your format

Alt Shift X

Will probably eventually do both, yeah (:

xDanManx

Way late to this, but also think Twin Peaks would be an incredible one to do ^_^ A vast, strange, complicated world :)
