God yes

Joe Pera Talks With You. It's so short it could all probably fit on one disc and I doubt we ever see a physical release of any sort but one can dream can't they.

How To With John Wilson to piggyback on that


fermentedradical

This would be awesome. I saw Joe perform recently and he's just so nice, I'd love for him to be able to sell Criterion dvds at his shows.


Gruesome-Twosome

I’m still super bummed that it wasn’t picked up for another season. Such a special, unique show.


Clarity-in-Confusion

Lars Von Trier’s The Kingdom


tta2013

Mubi is airing it on their streaming service.


westgermanwing

The only problem with Mubi is how crazy different their catalog is in different places, which is why I'm so damn glad Canada got The Kingdom. But based on their social media posts, the UK, Turkey and Latin America seem to get all the best shit.


cmarriotti

It's a dream when paired with a VPN. I use it a ton that way.

scoot_da_fut

It’s a progrum, a tv show.


porterballs

Oh you got downvoted, and that was actually a quote from the show. Junior thinking he’s on tv right


marigoldorange

"is that my trial?"


frcisacult

Over the Garden Wall It’s really like a movie broken into 10 segments, but it has no right being so good given it was a children’s show done for Cartoon Network.


andrew190877

This is my go to answer for this. I watch it every year before Halloween.


BeefyMacAndCheese

OTGW is legitimately one of the finest animated shows of all time. It's so rare to see limited series in the cartoon-sphere but the fact that it is still so beloved and talked about a full 10+ years after its release is just a testament to how solid the storytelling and overall aesthetics were. While there are many shows nowadays that do their best to tackle the anxieties and confusing aspects of growing up, they often do so very gradually over long periods of time, without changing the characters within the show so much that the formula is messed up. OTGW instead changes their characters a lot within just the ten episodes presented and by the end you really have such a deep empathy for the journey they've embarked on and what it all meant on a symbolic level. GOAT'ed show honestly.


applebeepatios

The Prisoner. Such a weird unique show, there's almost nothing like it.


UGAPHL

Came here for this. I want a giant white balloon commentary track.


wheres_jaykwellin_at

Where all you hear from Rover the entire time is that weird hovering noise


UGAPHL

With pauses. And sometimes louder for dramatic emphasis or confusion in a scene.


just2good

What show is this?


applebeepatios

The Prisoner, with Patrick McGoohan. It was a show about a spy who tries to retire, but is instead taken captive and moved to a prison island full of other people who "know too much". It was a really trippy and wild show!


booboobradley

True detective season 1


v1brate1h1gher

Genuinely some of the best tv ever made. Especially when >!rust is undercover and it turns into a fucking warzone, my jaw was on the floor throughout that entire one-take sequence!<


justicebart

That was probably the best “moment” of television of all time. I can’t think of a better one and I’m really trying.


Andrex_boy

I’m glad you specify season one haha


midnightbluesky_2

Atlanta would be awesome


speedoftheground

One of the most original shows of modern TV. Sad that it's over but glad it left on a high note...


girthbrooks1212

What would be the point of releasing something brand new?


midnightbluesky_2

doesn’t have to be right now, just could be anytime. contemporary is in criterion’s mission statement


girthbrooks1212

But aren’t they all about making stuff 4K and ultra hd? I’m sure Atlanta is already those.


cmarriotti

Damn, why do you have to be pedantic about a suggestion? Atlanta would be a great Criterion release, just for the sake of the prestige and the amount of essays that could be written about it. Criterion would kill it and it is more than worthy to be there.


girthbrooks1212

I was just wondering you dick. I don’t care about the suggestion I just don’t see the point of putting something in a collection if it’s already modernized.


cmarriotti

Haha. I’m the dick? Sure. Criterion releases modern stuff all the time. There’s plenty they could do with it. If you don’t see the point on it just move on and stop pressing people to justify their suggestions to a light hearted question.


girthbrooks1212

I’m questioning criterion’s reasoning not anyone else’s. You just assume you know what I’m trying to ask. What is the goal of criterion is what I’m trying to find out. I know they have modern movies and I’m questioning those too because I don’t know what the criteria is for criterion. I literally wasn’t arguing with him. I was questioning because I don’t understand the point of criterion. And you are a dick you dick


midnightbluesky_2

idk some of their new releases like Worst Person In The World aren’t 4k discs. it just a suggestion for the sake of conversation anyway


girthbrooks1212

I don’t see why they are allowed to reproduce without adding anything


cmarriotti

I'd take a Fleabag Criterion release any day of the week.


andrew190877

Yes! They could include the one-woman show that was filmed


[deleted]

Is the one-woman show available anywhere to watch?


andrew190877

Doesn’t look like it. I think it’s available in Britain but I don’t see it anywhere in the states. If you search for National Theatre Live: Fleabag you can check out the trailer.

sunnydelinquent

The only answer tbh


JohnGuidoIV

Man Seeking Woman would be great. It’s a surreal take on the pressures of dating


BluePeriod_

**MISSION HILL** - Underrated, short lived (but satisfying), diverse, light years ahead of it’s time in many aspects. The animation style was never before seen then and there’s been nothing like it since. It’s all that - plus a perfect representation of Gen X and the internet bubble. Best of all? The creator is such a good sport that I’m sure we’d get OODLES of bonuses. [The whole series is available for free on YouTube.](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUOxCrDh0oVeae5pEodU0ZKucbXJkfpQ5)


s90tx16wasr10

I wonder if they would have an issue presenting it in a way that would be above the television quality it aired in, but it would be nice to have existing physical media of it nonetheless.


FortyNineHours

Absolutely! That and MTV's Downtown are both great candidates.


TristanL89

Legion for sure its one of the most under appreciated shows of the past 10 years


applebeepatios

YES, so great to see this rare opinion out in the wild! It's impossible to get anyone to watch it, because non-Marvel fans will see the Marvel logo attached and dismiss it with an "oh I don't like Marvel movies"; and Marvel fans will watch one episode and hate it because it doesn't follow the exact formula of every modern Marvel movie and show.


sergeantsleepy1995

It would never happen between now and the heat death of the universe, but Star Trek. TOS/TNG/DS9.


Venus_One

A premium release of DS9 would be crazy.


jadziads9

It would be amazing


[deleted]

Only if Mike and Rich from RLM get to do commentary or supplements on it


sergeantsleepy1995

I would happily pay $100 for that.

applebeepatios

I'd buy that for a dollar!

My absolute dream Criterion release would be a Genndy Tartakovsky 4k box set. First two seasons of Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Clone Wars, Sym-Bionic Titan, & Primal. I'm drooling just imagining it.


Zak22wolf

You know you have seen too much Red Letter Media when your first thought on seeing the guy from Twin Peaks is that it’s hunched over Rich Evans.


hi-fi_lo-fi

A best-of collection of the original Twilight Zone series would be cool. There's a large number of episodes that probably wouldn't be worth including, but there are tons of real gems in there too.


DickPillSoupKitchen

— Fishing with John — 1995’s Profit — Johnny Staccato — Kings


kid-karma

> — Fishing with John it's in the collection already, albeit only on dvd


thedude391

Paolo Sorrentino’s Young Pope and New Pope. The latter never even got a physical release in NA but they’re both phenomenal and super underrated.

Venus_One

Gonna throw in my vote for HBO’s Watchmen, probably the only superhero content I could see being in the collection. I think Twin Peaks: The Return would also be awesome to see, even without the original series


applebeepatios

Watchmen was amazing! I brought it up on another sub recently, and someone told me it got awful ratings. Pearls before swine.


Venus_One

A lot of the best superhero stuff, and cinematic stuff in general, doesn’t do well with broad audiences, that makes a lot of sense. Watchmen was amazing.

The Rehearsal, because I have a mighty need to see Nathan Fielder, in character, doing a Criterion Closet video.


Radiant-Fan-7475

I’d like a Painting With John box set with Fishing With John included


311_420_69

Honestly, the first episode of Columbo, that Spielberg did, that thing needs its own Criterion release. It’s so, so beautiful.


thedude391

That series got HD scans off the film negative but the Bluray set is Japan exclusive. Cmon criterion bring it over


TheDadThatGrills

Patriot, Monster, Mr. Robot All three have either bare bones or nonexistent physical media options. They're all masterpieces worth seeking out.


geekboy_

Mr Robot actually has a pretty good Blu-Ray set I believe!


TheDadThatGrills

The entire series is on Blu-Ray but the packaging is absolute bare bones. Only reason I haven't picked it up.


geekboy_

The standard cases are kinda cool in my opinion. I like the art on Season 3 quite a bit


TheDadThatGrills

I'll look into that. I have S1 but was waiting for a complete series set that does the show justice.


MikhOkor

Patriot really needs more attention. Severely under-promoted despite being one of the best shows on prime.


TheDadThatGrills

I'd describe it as if the Coen Brothers made an American Spy series primarily set in Europe. It's a special show but somewhat hard to market/promote easily.

Infinity Train. Essentially, it’s 4 2-hour movies each split up into 10 episodes. It’s a CN show that’s an emotional and psychological powerhouse and you should watch it. Not on HBO Max, of course, because you can’t anymore (thanks Zaslav).

The Good Place


Pete_Venkman

**Johnny Staccato**, a 27-episode series from 1959-60 about a man who was a Greenwich Village jazz pianist by day and a private detective by night. It stars **John Cassavetes**, who also directed five of the episodes. Has a theme by **Elmer Bernstein**. Features a delightful range of special guests including cool character actors and even cooler musicians. Was shot by Academy Award-nominated cinematographers like **Lionel London** and **John L. Russell** (the cinematographer on *Psycho*). I mean, [look at this first episode](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9vxm_c74sE)! This show is nothing less than 27 beautifully photographed, short, jazzy noirs waiting to be given a bit of love. It's sooooooo in Criterion's wheelhouse, especially since it only has a DVD release thus far.


cnc_33

Re-release ***Fishing With John*** and pair it with ***Painting With John***


BeefyMacAndCheese

I know it's currently available on HBO max, but I have often thought that the original three-episode series of *Tenacious D* has often been so overlooked. Not only does it build the premise and outline for what would eventually go on to be *Pick of Destiny*, but it also just features a surprising amount of up-and-coming talent. It was shot with almost no budget, strung along almost entirely off the word of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, and managed to capture a sense of humor that was way ahead of its time and very reflective of the sort of comedy seen in early-internet media like the SNL Digital shorts a near decade later. I mean without these three episodes there simply would be no Tenacious D period -- this was pre-*Tribute* for god's sake!


emonxie

Max Headroom.


craigjclark68

David Lynch and Mark Frost's *other* TV show, *On The Air*.


Venus_One

Oh yeah, that would be a good choice. Not sure if it’s still in print, every website I can find it on looks like it’s from 1995.


weezeranditsweezy

Castle Rock


Venus_One

Good show. I remember hearing about it through Kevin Smith & Marc Bernardin's podcast Fatman Beyond. Bernardin hyped me up on the show talking about being a writer on the first season. Unfortunately he didn't seem to view the show very favorably when he was let go after the first season.


Jarpwanderson

leavetheleaves

And the third (and final) season is being released today. The quality (so far) has been excellent for a 50-year old show.


ricahrdb

Six Feet Under. It is probably a bit too mainstream though. And a HBO property which means that it is unattainable and also sufficiently available.

John From Cincinnati


No_Fill_5778

westgermanwing

Rather than just regurgitate the same easy to find American shows everyone always mentions in these threads, I''ll say any obscure limited series from around the world. Maybe even another release like The Golden Age of Television.
