There have been a veritable ton of amazing shows from Adult Swim that flew under the radar. My three favorite are:
- Dream Corp LLC
- Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell
- The Heart, She Holler
What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend?

Dream Corp was my favourite, sad it didn’t continue. Early Mark Proksch is fucken gold.

Yeah, likewise. Everything about that show was stellar. At this point, I think it’s only available to buy via Amazon Video.

Swarm. It’s a great show but unpopular for a reason since it’s pretty niche and I imagine would make most people too uncomfortable. That’s my endorsement.

Sprung - about a group of small time cons trying to do the right thing and con only bad guys in the community while surviving covid and falling into a found family. Very funny and sincere.

No Heroics, only lasted a few seasons in the UK which means only maybe 12 episodes. (You may also see some actors from Ted Lasso if you look carefully.)

You, me and the apocalypse. Biggest cliffhanger ever, especially with no series 2. I’m still sour about that.

12 Monkeys the TV show. I’ve never met anyone that has even heard of it, and I really enjoyed it! Same main characters as the movie, more or less, but a more involved story. Very satisfying, tidy ending.

4400, but it was a wierd hybrid superpower humans and dystopian future of mankind, basically in the future the wealthy/aristocratic were living in prisitne cities while everything was a version madmax and judge dredd future.

Others have already recommended Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls, and Galavant. All are worth another mention.
I’m surprised only one other person mentioned Final Space. At first glance you might think, “Oh, it’s just a Rick and Morty knock off.” You’d be wrong. It’s much more Futurama in tone than it is Rick and Morty. I’m not afraid to admit Final Space is the only cartoon I’ve watched as a grown man that made me cry. On multiple occasions. It hits you right in the feels, hard.
