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.

If you like the character-plqy of GoT and don't mind a smaller story (i.e. a single conflict rather than a world at war) then I think House of the Dragon is great. I know some are finding the pacing slow, but I'm really enjoying all the 2 or 3 character scenes where it's all about the dialogue.

Edit: another I've not seen in the thread is "The Great", which styles itself as "A sometimes true story". A comedy drama based on Katherine the Great's rise to power in 18th Century Russia - Huzzah! Written by the same writer that did the oscar winning "The Favourite".
