The only comedy or animated show to come close to South Park and Rick and Morty. Incredibly funny!
Definitely not for kids, even more mature than either of them.
It's great at holding me over while waiting for new South Park and Rick & Morty episodes.
I'd also suggest the following, as the top adult cartoons of the modern era, roughly ranked from "best" to "also very extremely good":
● South Park
● Rick and Morty
● Final Space
● Big Mouth
● Cartoon President
● Animals (get past first couple episodes, S02 is brilliant)
● Jeff & Some Aliens
● Disenchantment
● Bob's Burgers
● Paradise PD
● American Dad
● Family Guy
● F is for Family (get past first 2 episodes).
● Futurama
Finally, a reboot of Star Trek TV series, and 1st decent Star Trek exploration series in a while. Interesting it comes out at same time (or slightly after) the Orville parody series. lol ;)
Killjoys Season 3 completely transformed the show - and for the better - more so than I've seen with any other show!
It evolved from funny, lighthearted in Seasons 1-2 to an epic space opera centered around a Battlestar Galactica-esque intergalactic war of the races.
Instead of standalone, unconnected bounty hunter missions, now each episode furthers an overarching plot, in addition to **multiple parallel threads* for each of a now more balanced set of protagonists, and even the villains inspire some empathy, with their own stories being shown from their perspective in parallel.
Both protagonists and antagonists - of which there are now quite a few - are more three-dimensional, with flaws, backstories, failures and even deaths - adding a sense of tragedy to what has now evolved into a very compelling Sci-Fi Drama.

Now, instead of eye-rolling cheesy humor and cliches, now you experience increasingly tense, dramatic, unexpected and sometimes tear-invoking turns of events.
It goes from just 1 plot thread involving 3 protagonists always working together to a slew of main character and multiple antagonists affiliated with different groups with sometimes conflicting or intersecting interests.
The characters have become more compelling and three-dimensional, with each pursuing varying objectives in parallel plot threads . Backstories are developed and flaws and failures are finally shown.
Dutch takes a bit of a backseat as John - and especially D'Avin - evolve to become self-reliant, overcoming challenges alone, each with their own mission. I especially appreciate how D'Avin has gone from weak, beta, follower and supporting character - all brawn and little brain - to an alpha leader and star in his own right.
The missions are now self-determined - instead of just starting off each episode with one given to them as group at the start of the episode. As the other protagonists can no longer just rely on Dutch - who has finally started to show weaknesses - to save the day, you finally experience fear and empathy with the characters and buy-in to their plights, and they evolve from supporting characters to their own leading roles.
As has become more popular since Game of Thrones, the show is no longer afraid to go so far as to kill of main characters - becoming more realistic, with an sense of danger, and adding tragedy into the mix.

Better than most superhero shows.
Like Deadpool, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Antman,
it perfectly walks the line between comedy and comic superhero.
Many funny parodies of Star Wars, Harry Potter, and other sci-fi/fantasy/popular movies & TV series like How I Met Your Mother and Friends. Has some Aliens in a few episodes kinda like American Dad. The Star Wars parody is the best!
Update
President show is back, with Episode 11 just out. ! They heard are demand for more!
Thanks, @ComedyCentral and @LateNightDonald!
Nearly as good as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in content (which I rate a 10), but, because spends more time on news/comedy and less on interviews and music, may even surpass it now. The one interview that the President Show does is actually funny and sometimes worth watching, unlike Colbert's, as it shows Trump's reactions.
It seems that Comedy Central has ordered more than 10 episodes now, but will we have to wait until the next season or will they pop them out daily like Colbert or even weekly or at least a decent 20 a year?
As the star and creator, Atamanuik, said, "“I’m so grateful that Comedy Central has decided to end its tenure as a cable network by renewing The President Show." As you can see, this is Comedy Central's first majorly successful foray into web-based episode releases, with their releasing much of the episodes for free on YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/results?q=%22The+President+Show%22+%22Comedy+Central%22&sp=CAI%253D ), as well as over 400% more digital views than any other Comedy Central
premier.
Also, you can watch the most recent episodes (with the exception of the E10 - the latest for now) on Comedy Central's site ( http://www.cc.com/shows/the-president-show/full-episodes ) or all available on YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/results?q=%22The+President+Show%22+Season+Episode&sp=CAI%253D )
I wonder what's going to happen when Trump leaves office?
If Trump gets impeached, will the star, Anthony Atamanuik, still play Trump around the halls of the White House commenting and tweeting in this show, or play Mike Pence instead? I see potential for this shower to cover many presidencies, hence the more general purpose name "The President Show" instead of the "The Trump Show." However, if the president is a woman and/or a different ethnicity than what will the star/creator do?
So slow - probably due to taking a comic strip and turning into a 20 minute episode. Gave up after the 3rd episode. I wanted to like it, since I loved the comic strip, and am a (software) engineer myself, but neither my wife or I could keep watching it (she gave up after one episode).
Hyped with tons of fake, duplicate reviews by the cast and producers.
Notice how the written reviews on IMDB are nearly all around 2/10 stars (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5059782/reviews), while the IMDB score is 8.4 based on only 500 reviews. You can see how all the written reviews on letterboxd are duplicates with the same review text in French written under different names (http://letterboxd.com/film/the-northlander/).
Seems like an interesting Mad Max-like premise but its obviously an indie film, so don't watch expecting it to be even a B-list movie.
Not only does this provide the most laughs out of any other show for my wife and I, but it covers current events and politics so succinctly that its the only TV news we watch (all else is read on Apple News). It's our favorite show, and one we look forward to watching together even more than 24: Legacy, Sense8, Seinfeld, or Designated Survivor! It's even better than SNL's Trump/Political Skits.
It's easiest just to catch it on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMtFAi84ehTSYSE9XoHefig) on weekdays around 8:30pm PST (or more often, anytime the next day), which makes it easy to skip over most of the interviews and musical performances and just get the comedic news, animations, and political satire.
Colbert is the only positive thing to come out of having Trump for president and the only thing that makes it just this side of bearable.
Game of Brothels - Betrayal, Politics, Sex and Revenge in the Struggle to Become Queen of Whores:
Surprisingly addicting. Game of Throne-esque betrayal, alliances,
bribery, coercion, corruption, politics, sex, and revenge.
Harlots inspires empathy for the plights of the heroines -
the brothel madam and her youngest daughter. You really root for the
madam's struggle to keep her girls from harm and rise up through the
ranks of brothels to move up in station and compete with the Queen of
Whores.
Harlots touches on racial and class issues and even features the
occasional gigolo, during a time in which one in five women in old
London make their livings as whores. It shows how religious zealots,
the law, and the masses can be manipulated as pawns in the political,
carnal, racial, and socioeconomic power struggle that is the Game of
Brothels...
Slow, really corny (worse than the original Superman movies), and with Supergirl's personal life and abilities coincidentally being exactly the same as Superman's, who shows up to save her as needed.
Also, the whole premise is absurd that those you are closest to seeing you up-close with glasses and then without glasses as Supergirl literally 60 seconds later, with no change in voice, and not realizing who you are, despite having already facing the question of whether you are that superhero...?! It seems even more absurd than it was with Superman.
Also, Supergirl really doesn't seem all that super when you consider that in this show just about every alien from any planet/galaxy to ever come to earth has the same (or greater) strength and seeming invincibility, and that half of them are in her city, even hanging out at the same bar, just waiting to beat her up until someone without powers comes and saves her.
Also, instead of standing alone against the enemies of earth, she leans on the DEO - a poor man's, SHIELD, where she seems to be employed, but without enough of a salary to allow her to stop working as coffee-getting personal assistant?
Finally, a Marvel show about the X-Men universe! This is already better than the best seasons of the best ever Marvel shows (S02+ of Agents of SHIELD and Daredevil)... and certainly much better than the Iron Fist or The Defenders!
SEASON 1:
Be warned, the show is extremely confusing - being from the perspective of a mental patient - and has a bit of a slow start, though it picks up significantly in E03, at which point it upgrades to merely "very confusing" until the penultimate episode. Sadly, this resulted in my wife loosing interest before getting to that point, so be sure to stick with it.
I love the chilling glimpses - and brilliant soundtrack accompaniment - of the antagonist: the "monster." They are by far the best representation of this creature/character, ever!
Also, there are subtle hints as to how this show, and its protagonist, tie in to the story of the better-known X-Men.
This takes place in the past, similar to X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: First Class, so it shows some interesting prototypes of well-known technology and even appliances (Espresso, anyone? ;).
I am sad to see there are only 8 episodes, with it ending just as soon as things start to come together and make sense.
When Season 1 ended after finally explaining (a few) things, I thought Season 2 would finally be less confusing...
WRONG!
SEASON 2:
S02 jumps forward an unknown amount of time, we have to peice together what happened in between.
Not only am I not sure what is reality, at times, but even if I'm watching a TV show anymore.
At times it turns into an International Indie Film (complete with Chapter titles, and Interludes), a Nature Channel animal documentary, and even a Hip-Hop Ballet (though a good one!).
Wow!
SEASON 1 RECAP (for SEASON 2):
Here is a recap of the ending of Season 1 to help get you started, to make things (slightly) less confusing:
https://screenrant.com/legion-season-1-finale-mid-credits-sequence-explained/
It's not bad for those addicted to the new Lethal Weapon TV show. Pretty similar and watchable, though of course, not nearly as good. After the first episode, things start to deviate from or expand on the original movie its based on.
Absolutely incredible genre-defying blend of suspense, sci-fi, and comedy, one of the best shows I have seen since 24 and Game of Thrones. Something completely new, and with the comedy not in any way lessening the suspense. For the first time ever, even the episode recap at the beginning is actually worth watching - with an original funny song at the start of each episode. Very original and unpredictable - unlike most pandemic, zombie or invasion show and movies. The alien parasites bring to mind the Animorph novels from childhood, instead of zombies, thankful, which have been overdone. It includes incredible performances by leads from Monk (Tony Shalhoub) and 10 Cloverfield Lane (Mary Winstead).
There are only 20 episodes in Season 1 according to the following sources, not 21 like listed on Trakt:
http://gb.imdb.com/title/tt4016454/episodes?season=1&ref_=tt_eps_sn_1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergirl_(TV_series)
NOTE: There are only 13 episodes for Season 2, not some "unaired" 14th episode like reported on Trakt. The entire season was released at the same time on Netflix.
Sources:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daredevil_(season_2)#Episodes
That said, I look forward to watching it, seems like it will be even more exciting than Season 1, which was pretty good, now that Daredevil has come into his own.
