Would recommend Cardinal if you’d like a cop/drama.

Patriot on Amazon Prime.
It's funny I have some loose connection to each of those shows. They shot a season 3 episode of the Americans at my apartment in Brooklyn. Imade $4K for that. I used to promote Yellowstone when I was an art director at Paramount Network and my buddy color corrects Succession. I've only watched Succession which I recommend for what it's worth.
Check out the Diplomat on Netflix if you haven't watched it.
Succession is very good. Good plot and acting.
Succession and The Americans are both great. Patriot is probably the right answer.
Succession for sure
Americans
Vikings
The Last Kingdom
Peaky Blinders
Billions
Sopranos
The Wire
Mr Robot

Sopranos and The Wire? I'm not familiar. I should check those out.
The only one of those that I’ve watched is Yellowstone. It was good for a couple seasons and then it just became completely ridiculous.
Bad Monkey on Apple TV
Penguin on HBO is just getting started, only a couple episodes so far but really good
English Teacher on FX is pretty funny for a 30 min sitcom type show

Resident Alien - enjoyable, underrated and unique.
Obviously it depends on what you like. Me, I'm kind of a character and dialogue geek. The plot doesn't seem to matter as much if you don't have really good characters and dialogue.
To that end, I give you my A list -
Billions
Sherlock
Goliath
The Newsroom
The West Wing - oldie but still relevant. First few seasons are incredibly good.
The Blacklist - first few seasons
Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
For those that enjoy the odd and the stupid -
Comedy - Brooklyn 99 is the funniest show I've ever seen. Classic stupid humor.
Weird/strange/bizarre - The Umbrella Academy
Others that I liked, but not the A list -
Queen of the South
Chernobyl
Star Trek Picard - for Trek junkies
Ted Lasso
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
I recommend any one of those shows!

I really enjoyed Manhunt on Apple TV. It's about the search for John Wilkes Booth after the Lincoln assassination.
If you haven't seen The Americans, and you like serious, well-acted shows, drop everything and start watching. It's terrific from beginning to end.
The Americans and Succession as already mentioned. The Bear is top notch.
Halt and Catch Fire is also in my top 5 of all-time. Superb acting.
Snowfall
Dark Winds
The White Lotus
Snowpiercer
Evil
Joe Pickett
Troppo
Mayans Mc

I don't mind this show and Stallone in general but Taylor Sheridan's schtick is wearing thin.
All his shows are Sons Of Anarchy in different settings - owes his career to Kurt Sutter
Can't go wrong with Americans. Hot Keri Russell in good spy thriller
Going to list Station Eleven again in case this becomes a go-to searched streaming thread for anyone. 10 episode miniseries. A flu wipes out 99.9% of humanity and series follows a group of survivors traveling as a Shakespeare troupe performing for survivor settlements around Lake Michigan.
I like this show a lot. Good go-to for something light hearted and a little offbeat.
I’ll second Bad Monkey, it’s kept me engaged and it’s Vince at his Vaughniest.
Another idea for a comedy if you haven't seen it: Party Down. There are three seasons, two from 2009-2010 and a reboot season in 2023. Follows catering company staffed by Hollywood wannabes in LA.
Ones that I haven't seen mentioned yet (apologies if you did and I missed it)
Apple:
Slow Horses
For All Mankind
Pachinko
Bad Sisters
Hulu
Justified ( the first season is a little slow until they figured out the show had two main stars, not one). "Fun" Justified fact that I just learned: the actor who plays Art (Raylan's boss) was at the Capitol on J6.
Terriers (after Freaks and Geeks probably the best show canceled after one season)
Reservation Dogs
What We Do in the Shadows
Atlanta
Netflix
Borgen ( in Danish)
Kimmy Schmidt (if you liked 30 Rock)
Derry Girls
Prime
Fleabag

If you have Apple TV, you will find lots of great series on there. If you don’t have it, get it. It’s worth the $.
If you haven't seen The Americans, and you like serious, well-acted shows, drop everything and start watching. It's terrific from beginning to end.
Probably the best ending to a series I've ever seen.
Exactly my first thought! Season 1 was very good. Season 2 was great. Hilarious side characters.
I have to go with Breaking Bad as the best ending of a series. It was masterfully crafted.
Bloodline was a pretty good show on Netflix that doesn’t get mentioned often. I actually saw Norbert Leo Butz (actor in the show) at our local pizza place yesterday at lunch.
I doubt it for Station Eleven but the show runner for Station Eleven agreed to adapt a different novel from the same author for HBO/Max. Not sure when that's coming.
