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!!

I liked more the 1st season, with a better rounded mystery (albeit a bit obvious after a couple of episodes) and great cast. The second one, I mostly liked the heightened thematic format, but for me, the underlying story was a bit flat sadly. (My favorite episodes were the Pride and Prejudice parody and the Wes Anderson one: How I wish the entire show was like that!).

I think there was one episode that had some strong Wong Kar-Wai-esque Hong Kong late 90s movie influences, but it was in a shy, not going all the "Wai" in, which it was detrimental to the final result (IMO).

Season 2 definitely felt a little more contrived for sure. It was still a fun watch though!
