TV nerds: What should I Watch? (slrpnk.net)

I haven't watched TV in years; kids and my previous job really killed that.

There's SO much out there since I last picked up a remote, and I have a fucking huge backlog.

I'm open to anything, as long as it's well done.

Series I liked: Vikings, Norsemen (hysterical), The Americans, GoT, Man in the High Castle, Expanse, Spartacus (Batiartus is amazing)

I'm scratching the surface of Boardwalk Empire, but open to other rabbit holes.

              Feel Good is excellent, heartfelt, exciting, and an incredible window into the experiences of a range of queer identities
Mr Robot is an excellent hacker/heist show that is secretly actually about something else entirely
Final Space is one of the best animated series to come out in recent history, though it was sadly cancelled before it could be finished. Despite that, I still recommend watching the existing seasons
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is another incredible animated series which is just oozing charm and wonderful, thoughtful writing
Ragnarok is an excellent Norwegian show featuring norse mythology in the modern day. Strongly recommend watching subbed not dubbed
Da Vinci's Demons was really good and seems in line with your interests but was also cancelled before completion, sadly. Still worth watching
The Good Place is one of the funniest, most genuinely entertaining and heartfelt series I've watched in recent memory

Double-plus upvote for The Good Place! It is a long story arc. There IS an ending (it doesn't just trail off). It has an episode on the Trolley Problem! What more could you ask for!?

Upvote for Ragnarok. Dark is pretty good if you can keep up with it. I had to watch Norseman on my own - although my wife loved Vikings she nearly threw up halfway into the first episode of Norsemen. Slow Horses is magnificent.
