Foyle's War. A British drama about a detective in England during World War 2.
Excellent acting, and the period backdrop is very well-written. Gives you a bit of a sense of what it was like to live during that period.
I recommend βSeveranceβ on AppleTV. Also recommend βShining Girlsβ. AppleTV is free this weekend.

I just watched the pilot episode of "Servant" and it looks promising. M. Night Shyamalan.
Arcane
Second season wasn't the best
! Viktor literally wanted to make an utopia, and he is a villian? !<
Yeah and powder was just trying to free her people. A central theme of the series is good people doing bad things for good reasons. Calling any character a villian feels like missing the point to me.
I don't agree s2 wasn't as good but not for that reason.
I've been doing Doom Patrol lately, switching between it and What we do in the Shadows.
I can recommend them both with the caveat that I'm not very far into either.
- Shrinking
- Sopranos
- Severance
- SAS Rogue Heroes
Season 2 of Shrinking has been a very emotional ride, but has a good mix of comedy & drama, while addressing some difficult topics.
Sopranos is a classic. Depends if you like long character development.
Severance is a great dystopian show about people essentially hating to work. Season 2 should be out shortly.
SAS is an expensive BBC production following the formation of the SAS during WWII. Has a Band of Brothers type feel to it, with a British twist. They're all madmen. Cinematography is amazing, and the history, while dramatized, is still impressive. It's based on the book of the same name by Ben McIntyre (non-fiction).

Frazer Cain recommended Dr. Stone, an anime series that features the scientific method prominently in a scenario about rebuilding civilization. I haven't watched it though. I don't agree to the Netflix terms of service with stalkerware and exploitation.

If you're into something different, a weird Canadian comedy kind of thing: Shoresy It's different, and I like different.
Landman would be good if it weren't pushing so much fucking propaganda.
My kids love Gravity Falls, which as an adult I still love.
Someone else mentioned Silo, I agree.
My wife loves Great British Bakeoff. It's an easy background show.
I also enjoyed Bad Monkey. It's kind of a B- show, but easy to watch.
Shortesy is a spin off of Letterkenny. Great show, so long as youβre comfortable with some blue comedy.

The Traitors has just started in the UK. It's essentially a game of Werewolf with tasks.
The first season of this was good, they used regular people. You cared if they lived or died.
The second season is full of your typical big brother wannabe narcissists. You don't care if they die, you just care which ones die first.
It's watcheable. There's also a weird obsession by the production to play shitty emo covers of popular pop songs in tense moments. Baffling choice, but I guess originality is too hard

Marvelous Miss Maisle is solid from om beginning to end. Not a minute, scene or note is wasted. The writers know how to pack every scene with as much energy and storytelling as possible. Just perfect.
Landman.
I'm usually not crazy about BBT, but in this case, he really carries the show IMHO.

Person of Interest.
And becoming incredibly relevant.
You can almost tell when the Snowden revelation dropped because the story becomes cartoonish.
Like the writers felt the need to outdo reality. Like you say, perhaps the show will be superseded by reality once more.

I just finished Monster, an anime from 2004 that is really good
