TV shows you most recently finished watching

Finished Hawkeye last night and very enjoyable it was too. I really wasn't expecting much from this, but it's actually really good. And what makes it good is the comedy. Sometimes these Marvel shows take themselves way too seriously, but this takes lighter tone and it's a lot better for it. The actor playing Kate is very good too and has loads of charisma which, let's face it, Jeremy Renner hasn't. But the way they bounce of each other brings a fresh dimension to a tired formula. The Russian goons in "tracksuits" are hilarious.
A couple of surprise character appearances near the end made it extra special too. Loved it - 9/10

The Great on Hulu. An anti-historical comedy-drama show loosely based on the rise to power of Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia.

Station Eleven - Really strange this one. It tells the story of a deadly flu pandemic and the aftermath. It's shown in different times, and so it's all over the place. So 1 minute it's now, then a year ago, a year later, 10 years later, 20 years later etc. Not horror or sci-fi though, rather a drama. But it's weird as it follows a future Shakespearean troupe as it travels around. Some of it was superb, other parts dismal and dull. I've read the synopsis of the book (I may one day read it) and the TV show seems to deviate too much, which is why it's so dull. None of the practicalities are tackled (food, medicine etc.) which leaves it all a bit one dimensional. The music is good though. 4/10 for the 2 or 3 really good episodes. 

On the subject and also based on the book Nine Perfect Strangers (2021, Hulu). I finished the book but I hated it. TV series is much more entertaining. Nine strangers stranded in the wellness resort. Good cast, with Nicole Kidman as the owner of the resort, interesting plot, nice cinematographic visual effects related to drugs use and great music. [8/10]

^For comedy I recommend Resident Alien on syfy and for weird crime drama The Blacklist on NBC.

Dr wu23, Archisorcerus - thank you for your recommendations. I forgot to mention that I watch these TV series with my wife and she is not a huge fan of sci-fi in general or weird crime drama.
Any fans of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel?
First season was really good IMO. Second - I was partial to it. I especially enjoyed the episodes that took place in Catskills resort. Third season - let down, mostly because of too much of bad 50s music. Waiting for a start of 4th season. As you can see, I am a strong believer in a saying "Happy wife, happy life". But..,
I really enjoyed all 3 seasons of True Detective and Chernobyl (HBO shows), but I watched them with my son before he moved out from the house.
Another really good Tv series, but older one was "Mad Men". I really like the shows/books about relationships.
