Does anyone have suggestions for new and good shows, or obscure gems I might have missed? (sh.itjust.works)

Any network or streaming service is fine. I’m having trouble finding anything good to watch, much less binge. I’m currently enjoying Sugar on AppleTV, and House of the Dragon on HBO, but they are both weekly releases. I tried The Brothers Sun and Little House on the Prairie on Netflix, and they are a bunch of garbage. (I’m sure I’ll get lots of suggestions I’ve seen, but I don’t see a way around that.)

Thank you!!

A couple less common suggestions:

Party Down - Comedy about catering group
Atlanta - Dramedy written and starring Donald Glover
Black Adder - Comedy where each season is a different era of British history
Corner Gas or Letterkenney - Canadian comedies about life in rural Canada. Corner Gas is a more standard sitcom, but Letterkenney is pretty unique and has some good writing (just give it at least a season, second episode is hit or miss)
Eureka - SciFi dramedy that has some good arcs.
Freaks and Geeks - Coming of age dramedy staring some heavy hitter before they got big (James Franco, Jason Segel, Linda Cardelini)
Leverage - Crime procedural where the criminals are the good guys
Miracle Workers - Comedy that completely changes settings every season
Cougartown - Comedy by creator of scrubs

Sorry if it's a little comedy heavy, but that's where I have a bit broader/uniquely suggestions.

If you are okay with animated shows (anime and western) I have more suggestions.

Erueka can very well be paired with Fringe (I know it is uneven, but it is lovable still.)
