Mr Inbetween
It follows the character nicknamed Magician, THE man who makes problems disappear. Despite being excellent at making problems disappear for criminals, he struggles with family and relationship problems. This Australian series was a surprise hit with me. A mixture of dark themes mixed with a little dark humour to lighten the load and keep me afloat and watching till the end.
Copenhagen cowboy
I know this is probably going to be a show not many people will watch let alone enjoy but I've chosen it anyway. Not much character development or plot that makes a whole lot of sense so if that's your thing then probably not the show for you. But, and a big but is that if you can enjoy a series for the visuals then this is worth checking out. The shots look like renaissance paintings but instead of nobles or religious figures they're filled with various criminal underworld figures. Mainly shot at night time and heavily saturated with red or blue lighting, the scenes appealed to the inner moth in me. If you dabble in a little weirdness, want to see a little elf-like woman kick some ass, enjoy a series with your eyes and not have to think too hard about plot twists then this might be the one for you!
Beef
This was a pretty hyped show but in my opinion definitely worth it. All the characters seem like petty assholes at first, and they kind of stayed petty assholes for most of the series but you see them as a bit more of a flawed person who has made some bad choices. By the end of the series I did grow to like the characters although I probably wouldn't be friends with any of them. The enjoyment for me was that in the big world full of many different people you have one massive asshole in conflict with the other to see who will be crowned king or queen of the petty assholes. This led to some really funny interactions and whoa shit I didn't expect those moments. Besides that it was refreshing to see a big hit show written and starring a mainly Asian American cast. Some really funny moments and a satisfying end to the season made it a fun show to watch.
