If you’re into DC characters Titans is pretty good.

Doom Patrol and Harley Quinn (*cartoon) for DC fans are excellent too... Suicide Squad style R rated humor caution if you have children.

(Of course Suicide Squad the movie is a must watch and the Snyder Cut.)

Definitely Game of Thrones. Had forgotten about True Detective. Have they made any more seasons of that? I think we've seen two.
Yes. Three seasons total. Third one is about two missing kids in Arkansas I believe. Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff are the two main characters. Interesting in that it takes place in three different time periods of their lives and they overlap a bit.

I loved this show. One of my favorites ever. Crazy, weird, intense. It really stuck with me.
The best line in the series was at the end of Season 2. I can't remember it verbatim but it was something like
"What is happening here?"
"I have no idea"

Truer words were never spoken on TV.
Every episode ended up with me thinking "WTF did I just watch?"

I've heard this from several people but I just couldn't get into it. Not sure why.

That's Breaking Bad for me. I can never make it past 20 minutes of the first episode. Zero interest. Like throw the remote at the TV level of interest.

Same thing with Ozark. Nope nope nope

I've never seen Breaking Bad but from what I understand is it started real slow and then started picking up momentum as it progressed.

Kidding. I agree with basically all of this list. I was surprised how much I like the flight attendant.

We originally purchased HBO Max to re-watch game of thrones during last year. However, we needed up keeping it as we have watched other things on there as well. I think Big Bang Theory is also on HBO Max, which we watch.

Just start watching stuff. HBO has probably a 90% hit rate for me.

White Lotus sucks though.

Can't wait for Succession to come back. Also, I don't think anyone has mentioned Insecure, but I really like that one too. We also enjoy Last Week Tonight, and watched the first few seasons of Ballers. The functionality of the app sucks though. Someone tweeted that HBO Max is like if someone who actively hates users designed a platform, and it's pretty much true.

Also, some have mentioned some disappointment with True Detective seasons 2 and 3.

I think the biggest problem is people expect it to be as good or better than season 1, which is impossible.

If you temper your expectations and just enjoy the seasons as they are, it's much better.
