I have to mention the first season of Murder One, a serial legal drama that aired on ABC in 1995-96 that was shockingly ahead of it's time. The entire 23 episode season focuses on one murder trial, and it is masterfully written and acted. If it wasn't for the dated CGI intro and overly long recaps, you could easily mistake this as a series made today for Netflix that is set in the mid 90s. It covers issues like homosexuality, racism, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and corruption in an incredibly progressive and nuanced way for the era. The second season wrote out the main characters and was generally terrible, you should pretend it doesn't exist, and the show was cancelled and mostly forgotten after that. Still, the first season is one of the best seasons of television from the 20th century, and Netflix/Hulu are fools for not streaming it.
