I’m going to list some shows that weren’t miniseries by choice that I really liked.
Invasion (2005, not the Apple show) really grew on me. Yes it was an alien invasion show, but I appreciated that it was more of a “we just need a place to live” take than a “world domination” Doctor Who’esc show. Also Florida for the sake of wildlife and fauna (not Florida stupid) made it feel like such a refreshing setting.
Caprica, the doomed Battlestar Galactica spinoff, I adored. It was a cyberpunk show about the creation of the Cylons, with elements of a gangster family drama. Gosh it only needed 2-3 seasons, but it was tragic to see it end after 1. /me shakes fist at SciFi
Speaking of cyberpunk, The Peripheral TV series based on the William Gibson “Jackpot” series. The heavy southern accents of some of the characters were jarring at first, but they worked as you grew to know the characters as a family of discarded soldiers. My understanding is that the show was cancelled primarily due failings of production under early COVID, not due to it being bad or unloved. Fingers crossed Apple is able to see their Neuromancer series thrive.
