Not sure why you think so, nowadays network switches handle several terabits already, and on the consumer side there's always premium routers

Evangelion has three endings, and I didn't like any of them. They're all abstract, symbolic, and open to interpretation rather than proper conclusions.
Game of Thrones is excellent through Season 4, and Season 5 is still good, even if it's already slower.
From Season 6 onward, it falls off hard. The Season 6 finale isn't bad, but I don't think it's a masterpiece. It wipes out years of complex storylines in one move just to simplify the plot, and that approach defines Seasons 7 and 8. By then, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss had already decided to end the show earlier than HBO wanted, despite the network being willing to keep it going.
I have high standards for TV, and Game of Thrones never came close to fulfilling the potential of its early seasons.

I generally don't care whether a show is “woke” or not, but some people do, which is why I mentioned it.
Shōgun is an exception. It is based on an Englishman who achieved extraordinary things in feudal Japan. The writers seem to have viewed his story as a white savior narrative and rewritten Blackthorne into the exact opposite of the real figure.
The real Adams was intelligent, educated, skilled, a fighter, a sailor, a shipbuilder, adaptable, learned Japanese, became involved in politics, and rose to the highest position a foreigner could realistically achieve there. The show’s Blackthorne is given protagonist-level focus but is portrayed as slow-witted, oblivious, unable to adapt, and a complete underachiever. He accomplishes nothing significant and never grows into the role. His portrayal often makes him come across as if he has some kind of cognitive impairment.
Shōgun is still a great show, but Blackthorne holds it back. With Toranaga, Mariko, or another character as the lead, it could have been a masterpiece.

I have no PC. You wouldn't dare to write and format that on a phone, it'd take an hour or more.
If you can't see the fake intellectuality and garbage dialogue from that show as bad, okay, one can really like any show if their weakest points aren't a bothering factor for me.
I dont like those though, i like state of the art writing and production, and in the anime world Sosou no Frieren is an example: I simply saw no flaw in the show and where it does drop in quality it is negligible, absolutely staying way above garbage-level shows.
That's what makes a masterpiece, not that it's dlawless, but that it is crafted with much care everywhere, and it's consistent. Shows nowadays have quality fluctuate a lot. Doesn't ruin shows but the wider and frequent the variance the harder it is for the producers to keep it all together

I see you're unhindered by overall bad production, which is fine, you dont have to hate anything you watch really.
Im otherwise very bothered by sloppy production and writing.
Evangelion endings are a waste of time and energy imo, i consider the show fo have no ending and still enjoy it that way

Para os usuários de Graphene e outras OS customizada: Como vocês mexem com coisa de banco?
No Android até o 10 ou 11 da pra burlar o safety net, mascarar o telefone como se fosse um modelo/rom oficial e esconder o root pelo magisk, resolvia todos os problemas com absolutamente todos apps EXCETO se o app checasse sei bootloader.
Infelizmente nada disso funciona mais e a solução hoje é usar telefone stock OU ficar limitado só nos apps que nao encanam. Não tem muito o que fazer

Ignore the death note comment. I fed my main points into Gemini Pro and it hallucinated that.
I fixed it now, take a look

I see we're getting into a subjective argument again. EoE is widely known on the internet for not being a conclusive ending. It's highly philosophical and completely lacks closure. Ever since the 2000s, people have complained about how ambiguous it is. Plus, no one knows what actually happens to Asuka, Shinji, or humanity as a whole once EoE ends. There's a huge amount of religious symbolism and metaphors that never glue together, much less get explained. The pacing is faster in the first half, and then it just turns into delirious psychological metaphors. Instrumentality is central to the plot, but not once does the show make clear what it is or what purpose it serves. If that's your standard for an "amazing show, well-written, well-animated, well-paced, and with plots resolved in a satisfying way," you're completely completely out of touch with what most reviews say. You've probably just been watching a lot of garbage.
But again, there are some garbage movies I watched and I liked it, but I don't go out of my to defend them cause i know they're garbage

You like death note, simple as that, and there's no problem with it. I went in with no prejudices, actually quite excited cause a friend pumped up my expectations, and by episode 3 or 4 I already dropped it cause the dialogue and the script are, to my taste, completely childish garbage.
I can't see a game of cat and mouse, but two extremely self-important, overstuffed characters portrayed (especially L) as extremely intelligent guys, but they're in fact just dumb.
Actually, not even as a kid I'd watch something like that.
And I like thrillers, Death Note is just not a good one imo.
But again, idk why you've been arguing to the contrary, that's a matter of taste and its subjective. Some people hate evangelion and noragami, for example, whereas they're two of my favorite animes. And I dont try convincing them otherwise
It's okay to dissent

EDIT:
Forgot to mentione The Last of Us. Pretty good show with story close to the original. I rated it an 8/10 on IMDb.
Issues it has if you liked the game though:
In the end i think it's not a terrible show, but it could easily have been a much better one
