Just finished a "binge watch" of "I, Jack Wright", a Sky Production of 6 Episodes set in the UK. Initially it was put out as a Limited Series, but the way it has been left gives plenty of scope for further episodes/another series.
The storyline revolves around the Last Will of the recently departed Jack Wright which was recently changed to largely exclude several family members (and benefit others) - his death becomes a murder investigation and family feuds, greed et al erupt. Very enjoyable with IMDB rating it as a 7.2 - personally I'd give it slightly more
"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things" - Yma o Hyd.
Severance went in the bin again before the first season ended.
Just started MobLand, which is a typically gritty Guy Ritchie London gangsta series with lots of colourful language you cuuuu ... and Tom Hardy as the protagonist.
Andor season 2 is running for Star Wars fans, The Walking Dead Dead City season 2 is running for zombie fans, as is the Last of Us, which appears to have gone a bit woke.

Just downloaded but not watched yet the first 4 eopisodes of Clarksons Farm Series 4, usually good for some light entertainment.
Without doubt, a “marmite” character/programme - I’d be the first to admit that in the later stages of his Top Gear programme and definitely in his Grand Tour, I really went off watching him and whilst I find small parts of Clarksons Farm a little irritating, overall it’s very watchable - apart from his regular “dickhead” moments, the programme tells the story of how tough it is for farmers in the UK.
Talking of enjoyable programmes, I’ll be watching the last episode of six tonight called Code of Silence being shown on the UK’s ITV channel and have enjoyed it, so hoping tonight’s episode doesn’t let me down.

Completely agree with that assessment DB - I actually couldn't be arsed watching the first two seasons but whilst staying at my dear old Mam's for a few days, she managed to get me pretty much hooked on it!

For those of you who don't like looking at Clarksons face here's a baby version.........
Will grab Clarksons Farm, its always good entertainment whether you like the guy or not.
Mobland is very good if you like Guy Ritchie stuff.
Not for everyone, but I'm enjoying Your Friends and Neighbors as Jon Hamm plays a good lead as an executive who loses his job and turns to robbing his affluent neighbours.
Also downloaded but not started Murderbot, which looks like it could be a decent sci-fi.
