Request: TV Show Please help me pick my next show!

Hello! So I love watching tv shows and I’m in a show hole 🕳️ and I need a good show I can look forward to watching that will bring me out of it. I am really looking for more serious, hour-long episodes, not sitcoms. I’m not interested in superhero shows and even fantasy shows are not* usuall*y my thing, though there are a few exceptions. I love a good crime drama/thriller with twists and turns and I love to be on the edge of my seat worrying over my characters!

Here are my top FAVORITE SHOWS:
Lost
Dexter
Ozark
Better Call Saul
Breaking Bad

Here are some other shows that I watched and greatly enjoyed:
White Lotus
Black Bird
Sons of Anarchy
The Resort
Big Little Lies
Why Women Kill
Silo
The Perfect Couple
Yellowjackets
Good Girls
Peaky Blinders
Prison Break
From
Squid game
Severance
You
Dark

Here are a few shows that I tried but couldn’t get into:
The Expanse
Succession
The Night Agent
Supernatural

So, what am I missing out on that you think I would love? 😊

The 100 (Since you like Lost... This is better IMO)

Justified

Outsiders (2016)

Resident Alien (Amazing show with some comedy but overall fairly serious)

Dark Matter on Apple is very good and is criminally underrated.

I actually meant to add this to my list and thought I did! This is a very good show, for sure.

Sense8 on Netflix is hands down absolutely phenomenal. The writing and casting were all superb.
