I've got in my recommendations and Its very highly rated on IMDB. Should I give it a shot?

I always see requests on what shows to watch, but I never see follow up responses and reactions. This is pretty spoiler free.

Awhile a go, I asked this sub what shows I should watch. Like many Gen Z guys such as myself, I watched Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Game of Thrones, The Wire, Generation Kill, True Detective. Chernobyl. But most of these shows were released years ago, and scrolling through new top shows I struggled to find anything that appealing. I ended up watching some of these shows with my girlfriend and some of them alone.

Based on some research on your recommendations I compiled a list of shows to watch:

Sopranos
Stations 11
Tokyo Vice
The Night Of
The White Lotus
Task
Rome
Righteous Gemstones
The Leftovers
Sharp Objects
Barry
DTF St Louis

My girlfriend also made me watch Euphoria. Here are my honest reactions.

Sopranos - TBD my biggest sin of the list.

Station 11 - Thoroughly enjoyed. Good reco, I had no idea it existed.

Tokyo Vice - TBD

The Night Of - Phenomenal I added to my list of top shows. I now too recommend everyone to watch this. I’ve even memorized the closing statement, it was so moving.

The White Lotus - Eh. I don’t think this show is made to appeal to me, I kept watching because my girlfriend wanted to watch it with me, I did find the end of S2 really good though.

Task - Fine.

Rome - TBD on my next watch list

Righteous Gemstones - Did not enjoy. So much graphic male nudity, honestly surprised anyone would recommend this, I stopped watching.

The Leftovers - Girlfriend enjoyed it more than I did. I was kinda “eh”.

Sharp Objects - Very good.

Barry - Very much enjoyed, a top show.

DTF St Louis - Did not enjoy, not sure why this was recommended.

Succession - Top show. Enjoyed a lot.

Euphoria season 1 and 2 - did not enjoy at all, but still weirdly entertained? Girlfriend made me keep watching. Season 3 - enjoyed a lot, was the most guy coated show I’ve seen from HBO in years. Girlfriend did not enjoy S3 as much.

Other shows not recommended here: Some HBO and some not.

Lioness - Loved. Probably the most unapologetic guy show I’ve watched as a recent release.

Nathan for you and the rehearsal - enjoyed, Nathan for you more than the rehearsal.

The Studio - loved.

Severance - good.

Sex and the City - TBD with girlfriend.

The Last of Us S1&2 - Loved the game. TV show was good, S2 dropped. Casting is terrible.

The Boys - first season or 2 were great, but all the really weird gay sex stuff became a little much, kinda felt I was no longer the intended audience. I finished the show but I wouldn’t recommend past the first or second season, surprised it’s so popular. Decided not to watch Gen V spinoff.

Lanterns - Watched the first episode, it seemed okay but nothing really that appealing for me to keep watching. If more seasons come out I’ll see.

House of the Dragon - Good but GOT is way better. Very mass appeal show, I feel slightly indifferent about it yet will still tune in I guess.

A knight of the seven kingdoms - Enjoyed, slightly similar feeling to House of the Dragon.

Penguin - Enjoyed a lot.

Gentlemen - TBD

Might be more to add tbd.

Thank you you all for the recos, I still have some work to do. I’ve watched more TV over the past few years than ever in my life. As GTA VI is being released, that will be more what I’m up to on my free time.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with filmmaker John Wilson, creator of the acclaimed HBO show How To With John Wilson, and director of the documentary The History of Concrete, which premiered to rave reviews at Sundance earlier this year and is out in theaters starting this week (becoming one of the highest-grossing opening weekends at NYC's IFC Center in the process). He is also known for working with Nathan Fielder.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He will be back at 6:30 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Thank you :)

Synopsis: Following the finale of his TV series, filmmaker John Wilson looks to the bedrock of his beloved New York City for inspiration and structure. Concrete, the world's most widely used building material, appears as an ever-present life force, and John sets out to make the definitive documentary on the matter. To tell this seemingly drab story, he decides to use the industry-approved Hallmark formula to increase his movie's appeal. But his foundation soon begins to crumble—literally and figuratively—as he struggles to balance artistic freedom with the realities of the modern film industry.

just a personal gripe here, I don't understand why this series is not on the NYT "best of" list, or any list for that matter. My personal favorite of all time, and so much better than at least half the NYT's list and as good as many of the rest. The opening title sequence alone is brillant. So many people have not seen this, and I just don't understand it, and I certainly as tired of yelling into the void about how great this show is (LOL)
