    HACF is a goodie but there's a lot of great shows no one's heard of.

    In an effort to sing the song of underappreciated works of greatness...

    Counterpart - not a multiverse, just a biverse imdb.com/title/tt4643084/

    Scavengers Reign - Robinson Crusoe by way of a nature documentary of a very bizarre alien planet. imdb.com/title/tt21056886/

    Wow, this is impressive. It's also the exact storyline from the animated series 'Common Side Effects', a really good series that feels more like watching a feature film.
