I'm currently working my way through Brockmire - Hank Azaria is brilliant and if you don't laugh your way through the 1st episode, there is something wrong with you (although some would argue that there is something wrong with you if you do laugh :))

We’ve just finished Versailles on Netflix which we’ve really enjoyed. Having visited the place on a Maserati European road trip a couple of years ago, watching the series really bought the “museum” to life.

Try Her Name Was Christa if you dare - as I said before never seen anything as both thought-proving and gross for ages....

Just caught up with the last 3 series of Love/Hate, after watching first 2 series on terrestrial a few years back. Really quite good indeed.

BBC:

Killing Eve
Fleabag
Peaky blinders
Giri / Haji (quirky Anglo - Japanese contemporary gangster thing. Very good)

Netflix:
Breaking Bad (if not seen you'll have heard about it. Worth the hype) if you like that, the prequel is:
Better Call Saul
After Life
Fargo (series based loosely on the Coen Brothers film. Quirky, violent, epic. Some British actors)
Narcos
Narcos Mexico
Bloodline
Tell me who I am
Don't **** with cats
Confession killer

Sky/ Hbo:

Gomorrah (this is the #1 of the lot IMHO. Italian Neapolitan crime family drama series. "epic" dies not do it justice. Brutal, shocking, hyper - real. All the romance of the Godfather et Al completely absent. TV drama on another level). And if you like that there's:
Suburrah, Blood On Rome (same director as Gomorrah. Very similar. But that's on Netflix)
The Bridge (scandi - noir at its best)
Chernobyl
Westworld
The Wire (try subtitles for a bit if the street slang gets too much)
Boardwalk Empire (Steve Buscemi brilliant as 20s gangster and Steven Graham as a young Al Capone. Scorcese was involved)

.. And I'll second that Deutschland 83 someone mentioned. Can't remember where it's on. C4 maybe?

Should keep u goin a while that lot.
Given your taste, I think you'd love Succession.

I think it's one of the best shows I've seen in ages
