Nundrum
One of the real gems I had missed until recently: Orphan Black. And I’ll second the recommendation for Severance.
This one hit home for me:
We’re just not much good any more at refusing things because they don’t seem proper. As a society, we can’t even manage to turn our backs on abysmal threats like heroin and the hydrogen bomb. As a culture, we love to play with fire, just for the sake of its allure; and if there happens to be money in it, there are no holds barred. Jumpstarting Mary Shelley’s corpses is the least of our problems; something much along that line happens in intensive-care wards every day.
Hey Nu fans: is there some way to get compact ls output? Like a table of just names. No type, date, size, etc.

I did not know what to expect going in to this one. 10 minutes in I was thinking it would be unbearable. 20 minutes in and I was laughing. It somehow gets weirder and funnier all the way through. And when I say weird, it’s like Eraserhead level weird.
If you’re enjoying Sherlock, why not try Metasploit?
In another direction, perhaps the most CLI fun I’ve had at work was using the phosphor
hack of XScreenSaver and piping a lot of useful info to it.

I was surprised. Very fun.
I have the same weird obsession with GITD stuff. One of my pendants has tritium-powered glow tube in it.
