Does anyone have suggestions for new and good shows, or obscure gems I might have missed?

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

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.

Have you watched Detectorists? Maybe not enough episodes to binge but worth watching and under-rated. Melancholy.

All Creatures Great and Small (the new one) is quaint and comfy drama.

I just finished both seasons of Afterparty on Apple TV, it was really good and very bingeable

I didn’t have high expectations for Blue Lights, but it’s been really good. I don’t normally get affected by character deaths,
