Really shows what modern filmmaking is capable of when done right.
Pixar's environmental masterpiece.
The distopian future we'll probably end up in. Some episodes suck though...
Actually a pretty fun and entertaining sitcom, even if it has its ups and downs.
Heartbreaking look at poverty and resilience. Margaret Qualley's performance is raw and real.

Money laundering meets family drama.

The first two seasons are exceptional. Like actually the best seasons of any TV show I've ever watched.
Pretty good actors, but does get repetitive/formulaic (as sort of expected on a show like this) at the end (last 3-4 seasons). Great views of Manhattan though!

Chess as character study. Anya Taylor-Joy is phenomenal (here and in other TV Shows and Movies).
True cybercrime stories told like Netflix documentaries by Jack Rhysider (a master storyteller).
Jupiter Broadcasting at their best.

Luke's takes on modern society, religion and tech culture. Don't go into it thinking you're going to agree with everything (even though you might). Good reflection material.
Favorite Episodes:
- The Economy is Fake, the Jobs Are Fake, the Money Is Fake
- When You're Too Rational to Be Rational!
1-2 hour deep dives into programming topics. Great for learning new concepts. Seriously, it's awesome!
It's been discontinued. I also really loved Linux Action News when it was around. Also from Jupiter Broadcasting.
Wes Bos and Scott Tolinski keep me updated on the latest web dev trends. This is more of a picky podcast - I don't listen to everything they put out, but when I do it's usually worth it and I want to learn about it.
Alex is like the best guru that ACTUALLY has a clue what he's talking about. Plus he can explain stuff in a way that makes sense.

27 conflicting answers to an impossible question. Short, sweet, and thought-provoking (and mostly stuff you've already thought about but just never put into words).
Wealth and happiness principles. Timeless wisdom combined with his (Naval's) podcast and tweets.
Ancient Toltec wisdom for personal freedom. Simple but profound: be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions, and always do your best.
I just like Luke Smith man, can you blame me?
Y Combinator founder's essays on startups and life. Each one is a masterclass.

Really cool articles, mostly to do with data analysis (as in the result of it, not the actual process of gathering the data and analysing it), also it's built on SvelteKit and the articles are interactive and really animated!

Harvard's intro to computer science. David Malan makes complex concepts accessible.
3 minute video from a random dude I just got recommended. Really genuine, which is not usual these days!
Public speaking fundamentals that actually work.
