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!!
