I love Vox Machina. Give it three episodes though, it needs the Briarwood ark to really get going.

Mr. D (think Michael Scott but a teacher)
Shrinking (low stakes like Ted Lasso)
Taskmaster UK (if you like comedy panel type shows. Although it's not really a panel in the traditional sense)
Frazer Cain recommended Dr. Stone, an anime series that features the scientific method prominently in a scenario about rebuilding civilization. I haven't watched it though. I don't agree to the Netflix terms of service with stalkerware and exploitation.
Dr Stone
The scientific method for the various inventions are shown quite well. But that's it. The character art is strange, the main characters are all unlikeable/arrogant tyrants, the storyline is barely coherent. It really seems like the hastily put together premise is just there to enable one character to demonstrate his skill.
Plenty of anime's out there where the world revolves around a single person, but they usually make an effort with their other characters. I dont feel that's the case here.
Secret Level.
The Outsider
How It's Made. Funny You Should Ask. Whose Line Is It Anyway?.
The Traitors has just started in the UK. It's essentially a game of Werewolf with tasks.
The first season of this was good, they used regular people. You cared if they lived or died.
The second season is full of your typical big brother wannabe narcissists. You don't care if they die, you just care which ones die first.
It's watcheable. There's also a weird obsession by the production to play shitty emo covers of popular pop songs in tense moments. Baffling choice, but I guess originality is too hard

If you're into something different, a weird Canadian comedy kind of thing: Shoresy It's different, and I like different.
Landman would be good if it weren't pushing so much fucking propaganda.
My kids love Gravity Falls, which as an adult I still love.
Someone else mentioned Silo, I agree.
My wife loves Great British Bakeoff. It's an easy background show.
I also enjoyed Bad Monkey. It's kind of a B- show, but easy to watch.
Shortesy is a spin off of Letterkenny. Great show, so long as youβre comfortable with some blue comedy.

New season starts on the 24th!
Person of Interest.
And becoming incredibly relevant.
You can almost tell when the Snowden revelation dropped because the story becomes cartoonish.
Like the writers felt the need to outdo reality. Like you say, perhaps the show will be superseded by reality once more.

Marvelous Miss Maisle is solid from om beginning to end. Not a minute, scene or note is wasted. The writers know how to pack every scene with as much energy and storytelling as possible. Just perfect.
Landman.
I'm usually not crazy about BBT, but in this case, he really carries the show IMHO.

I just watched the pilot episode of "Servant" and it looks promising. M. Night Shyamalan.
No Good Deed is really good, although it moves pretty slow.
