Have you ever watched Justified? That might be worth a few days.

Is this Rake the 2010 era show?

I just watched Dopesick on Hulu. Really good show about the Sacklers and opioid crisis. Lots of different characters, interlocking stories, good actors. Sad in parts but good.

Also enjoyed Mrs. America on Hulu a while back when I was stuck at home sick. Interesting look at the women's movement during the 70s and Phyllis Schlafly's career. Almost like an historical drama.

Both were many episodes so you can get lost in the story fir a while.

You've got great taste.

As others have suggested, The Americans.

Oh man. I think you would be in a really weird and dark place if you binge watched five seasons of Game of Thrones in a few days.
It’s a great show, and I’ve read all of the books and loved them, but it’s dark.

Another vote for Ozark.

The Outlaws. So good and never gets any love.
Probably because it has a bad name like a western. It's modern british comedy but with Christopher Walken.

PEN15

Sounds like if you liked "Never Have I Ever", you will love PEN15.

Maya & Anna wrote & starred in this comedy loosely based on their own awkward middle school years. The amazing thing that actually works is while they were really 31 at filming, they very believably play middle school girls, while the cast around them is actual 12 year old real kids, all relatively new to acting.

Maya's real life mom plays her Japanese mother and Maya struggles with bridging her culture while trying to fit in at school. Both girls realistically depict all the real things kids go through as they awkwardly navigate puberty and friendship and rejection and everything else we all remember with a wince.

You don't really notice the disparity in their ages because M&A are such good actors and just look the part and fit right in.

The other kids gave such authentic performances, I really should look them up to see where they are 5 years later.

The show takes place in 2000, so if you are 35-40, their middle school lives should look very familiar. I'm a generation older and absolutely loved it. DH and I binged it over a few days.

"PEN15" is middle school code for the male anatomy.
