6. Rome
HBO
Suggested by: taraclaire

7. Six Feet Under
HBO
Suggested by: Darthscary
Number of seasons: Five
About the show: We follow the Fisher family, who run a funeral home in Los Angeles. This dark comedy takes us through their lives, as they navigate the complexities of life and death, while dealing with their own personal struggles, desires, and goals. Very few who've seen it don't love Six Feet Under, and it's commonly awarded the title of 'best ending' of a series ever.

8. Shrinking
Apple TV+
Suggested by: onlyfansandpuppies
Number of seasons: Two
About the show: We follow Jimmy, a grieving therapist whose recent loss has impacted how he deals with his patients. His new approach is to tell them exactly what he thinks, in a more brutally honest way. We see how this approach changes his attitude towards grief and relationships. While a new season is on the way, so we can't claim that the whole thing is flawless, the first two seasons have been universally praised.
Where to watch: Apple TV+
9. The Expanse
Prime Video
Suggested by: millerep
Number of seasons: Six
About the show: In a futuristic setting where humans have expanded beyond earth, there exist three areas which humans inhabit, Earth, Mars, and the Asteroid Belt. We follow a ragtag crew made of from members of each 'nation' per-say, after a peculiar substance is found that threatens life everywhere. Political tension is ripe, and we watch as the internal divisions between people of Earth, Mars, and the Belt grow alongside a threat that looms over all.
