I binged through the last season of Billions.
I think I've mentioned this show before.
Basic premise: Ruthless, heartless hedge fund manager (Damien Lewis) fights off financial competitors, legal challenges (Paul Giammati) and others to grow his empire.
Full of pop references to everything from books (Dostoevsky) to movies (On the Waterfront) to sports (Ali).
A ton of fun, and a cast full of deliciously evil people. David Costabile plays Lewis's right hand man.
It ended its 7th and final season a few weeks ago, and it was a perfect ending, leaving enough stuff for possible spinoffs.
Smart, sexy, funny and ruthless. Loved it.
ETA: If you like Yellowstone, you'll like Billions. The cast of Billions is marginally more likable than Yellowstone.

Morning Show - intense, deliberately so

FrasierWill start Billions. Paul Giamatti is always a good watch.

Watched a couple of "Morning Show" episodes. I always found Reese Witherspoon annoying. Not for any specific reason, just didn't care for her. SO far, I still find her annoying.
Anniston is coming off as pretty complex, for a bitchy stereotype.
Carrell is masterful. Always loved him as an actor.
We'll see.

Based on the recommendation from @Aqua-Letifer , I started to watch the Monty Python Flying Circus show. Lots of funny bits, but also lots of bits I don't understand due to British humor or British political figures/current events. But worth a watch. A lot of the stuff probably would not be allowed today. LOL About 1/2 through season 1
Below is an example of a funny sketch (funny song begins at 4:00 minutes)

Season six of the crown. After that: all the light we cannot see. Both Netflix.
And of course slow horses.

In the series, set in 1884, a young outlaw on the run from his vengeful mentor winds up in a small New Mexico town populated almost entirely by women.
Only about an episode and a half in, but it's quite good, if you like Westerns, that is.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Godless: Two episodes to go.
Just outstanding. Great story, wonderful scenery, and the acting is good.
Some trope-ey stuff, but I can get over it.
Netflix.
