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!!

Like you said, there's probably a lot of overlap but here are a couple of my suggestions

Adolescence
American Primeval
The Bear
Behind her eyes
Blue Lights
Broad City
Carnivale
Detectorists (I know it was already mentioned, but its really good!)
Ghosts (at leasts the British version, haven't seen the American one)
Happy Valley
The Leftovers
The Pitt
Pluribus
Ponies
Rooster
Search Party
Severance
Shrinking
Silicon Valley
Silo
Slow Horses
Ted Lasso
This is going to hurt
Tip Toe (this one really left an impression)

Right now I'm watching Widow's Bay, which is good. And I'm watching Yes, minister. Its a British political comedy set in the eighties, but its strangely relevant. And funny if you like British humor.

And if you're into horror/thriller:

FROM
The haunting of hill house
Midnight Mass

Pluribus was SO good. And The Bear was a 5-season-long work of art. Although it took me 5 tries to get through the Christmas episode with how overstimulating it was.

I would pair "Yes, Minister" with "The thick of it". I've seen your recommend stuff that I like with some stuff that I haven't seen (Detectorists, Rooster, This is going to hurt, Tip Toe).. Can't wait to watch it.

”The thick of it” seems good! I'll add that to my watchlist. I also looked through your list and I def forgot a lot like Fleabag, Blackadder, Fallout, arrested development. But also a couple that I haven't seen! Going to check it all out
