    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).

      SAS

      Cinematography is good, but christ are all the characters flanderised to hell with their nationalities. The trope of “caw blimey guvna!” is disappointingly strong for a BBC production. Also, more WW2 propaganda that Britain is strong and gutsy (such lines were peddled shortly before Brexit…)
