Scavengers Reign (on Max) is my pick for sleeper show. I definitely heard about it in my social media ecochamber, but I do not know that it penetrated the wider landscape. An animated show that mixes creepy, existential survivalist vibes and later mixes in some impressive body-horror moments as it explores the psychological complexities of its characters. Truly worth watching!
My sleeper show of the year is definitely I'M A VIRGO - it has shown up on some year-end lists, but it was pretty much ignored over the summer in the shadow of the strikes. Truly a one-of-a-kind series that deserves a lot more buzz!
Great choice, I'll add this to my list. You're right, the show did get on some year-end lists, but I think the premise scared some people off. And it's such a distinctive show, it's worth highlighting as much as possible.
Just wanted to add that the niche streaming service MUBI started doing a year in review this year too, but it did not hold much of interest and felt mostly like a way for them to remind of all the great movies I could watch with their service.
