I finally found an apple product I liked in Ted lasso.
The boys on prime, mrs.maisel on prime, Alice in borderland on netflix
Along the vintage route, I enjoyed rewatching Taxi.
We are currently watching Travellers and The Last Kingdom. Last Kingdom is one I started on a recommendation in someone elses what to watch thread. Going along pretty well somewhere in Season 3 now.

Sorry, I have been watching car videos on You Tube. Dead Dodge Garage, Morsky's Repair and the like.
I don't know what channels these are on.. but you can always surf over to a different OTT service for a month or so

Have you watched the Sherlock series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman?
If you're not one of those people frightened of subtitles Occupied is amazing.
Maybe a touch less fiction now than when it aired but just great television.
NRK's Norsemen is also great. The less you know going in the better off you are.
pretty sure both are on Netflix.
The Terror is great, and I'm not the only one here that likes it
Also, we are enjoying The Old Man after a few episodes

I just started this and I'm enjoying it so far. It's got Jared Harris (Anderson Dawes from the expanse) and it's based on a book by one of my favourite authors.

Too bad you don't have Max, because they've got Banshee. It's the very definition of 'guilty pleasure'. Violent to the point of being cartoonish, lots of sex, and a surprisingly deep amount of character development/introspection. It's absurd, but you won't care that it is.
I'm re watching Hawaii 5-0 on paramount+. The original one. Book-em Dan o.

Any interest in Anne Rice? Netflix just picked up a bunch of her material, and related, from AMC.
I recently finished the Interview with a Vampire series (season 1 anyway), almost done with Mayfair Witches. Have to see what else they have.
Weirdly, I've been thinking about going back and watching Babylon 5.
It helped pioneer the multi-year story arc and use of serious CGI in a TV show. Additionally, the writing and concept was very much the brain child of one man.

Umbrella Academy, although the last season was disappointing.
Dark - a great German sci fi series
The Rain - decent Nordic sci fi, but we got tired of the sister constantly yelling "Rasmus!"
Black Mirror
3 Body Problem
Bodies
1899
Silent Sea - great Korean series
The Tourist - great Australian series
Wanted - another great Aussie series

I'm not above doing a free month, but I'm not sure I'll get to it all before I get charged.
Have you watched Brand New Cherry Flavor? Super dark. A girl with a vagina in her torso and she vomits kittens, zombie sex, witches, ghosts, and people spontaneously combusting. It's so random.

If you liked New Amsterdam, watch the Resident. 3 Body Problem is decent, the books are better. A Discovery of Witches is also based on some good books, and they did a pretty good job with the show. Rings of Power on Prime is a prequel to the later Tolkien movies. Season 1 was so-so, season 2 is great so far.
