New Show for Picky Husband

Anonymous
My husband and I need a new show. He has particular, but not well-defined tastes. We have all the major platforms except showtime.

Loves: Silicon Valley, Veep, The Americans, Parks and Rec, Insecure, Game of Thrones, The Fall, Great British Baking Show, the first season of Bloodline, the first season of True Detective.
Likes: Blackish.
Can't Suffer: Really "British" crime shows, like Sherlock, anything with a laugh track.
Tried and didn't like: Peaky Blinders, Orphan Black, Luther.

There are other things we tried and he didn't like, but it's easier to list the things he loved (because we watched them all the way through).

Suggestions? Thanks!

My husband is the same way. Some of the ones he enjoys are:

The Last Kingdom and Stranger Things on Netflix
Mr. Robot on USA
Westworld - it's a slow burn, takes a few episodes before it really gets interesting. HBO
The Expanse on syfy. Not sure how much your husband likes science fiction but this is a great one
Fargo on Fx

Thank you! My husband LOVED Stranger things (I couldn't watch it, too scary) and he liked Westworld in the beginning but stopped watching around episode 4 after determining that he no longer liked it. Sounds like we should restart it.

Yes it's good. Only ten episodes though, so it won't last very long. I hope you've watched Breaking Bad.

Not the person who mentioned Ozark, but OP -- yes, we've watched Breaking Bad. It goes in the "Loves" column

Ozark is so good. We started it last week and ended up watching them all in one week! I did not watch Breaking Bad, so some of the violence was shocking. But overall, it's a well-paced show with excellent acting. Highly recommend.

The Good Place is from the creator (and some writers/directors) behind Parks & Rec. DH and I both loved it.
