I'm stuck and unsure where to devote my streaming time next.

Shows I'm currently watching or coming soon are just weekly releases and not bingeable - BCS now and Westworld starting next week. And waiting until Picard has a whole season to binge on a free trial.

I have Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV and AT&T Watch currently.

I caught up on many I was streaming but I have a few that I watched previous seasons before but were not necessarily my favorites. Can't decide which to watch now.

So among these shows what would you suggest - if I don't list a show assume I have seen it because I've seen most of the big and popular streaming shows. So really just want suggestions from this list.
PS I do not watch any network shows any more so don't suggest them.

Peaky Blinders S5 - liked the previous seasons pretty well
Sneaky Pete S3 - S1 was great, S2 was ok
The Good Place S3 and S4 - liked S1 and S2 but it was waning a bit
Goliath S3 - liked S1 a lot and S2 was ok
Black Mirror S5 - loved the early stuff but only a few in S4
Shooter (USA) S3 - S1 was basically the movie again but good, S2 was ok
Mr. Mercedes S2 - I liked S1 ok but the book was better
Marvelous Miss Maisel - only got like 4 episodes in mostly because my wife bailed on it

some intriguing ones I have not seen at all:
The Devil Next Door - miniseries
The Two Popes - movie
Bosch
Narcos Mexico - i loved Narcos but heard this one was not as good
The Outsider
Succession
The Righteous Gemstones
Barry
Divorce
For All Mankind
Get Shorty

Succession is pretty great.

Righteous gemstones and the good place. Both have some down episodes but overall are great.
The good place finale is one of my favorite final episodes of the past decade or so, it is currently at a 9.6 on IMDb.

We seem to have similar tastes in shows, so...
The Outsider starts great but kinda fizzles at the end.
We loved Succession (not really a comedy, but still really funny), Gemstones (funny), and Barry a lot (dark comedy).

Have you seen Netflix's Dark? If not, I suggest that as priority #1.

I think Narcos Mexico is better and more relatable for us Texans.

ZeroZeroZero is like a knock off Narcos with Italy and Shipping involved. Not terrible or great.

The last seasons of both Peaky Blinders and Goliath were great imo.

I just finished Narcos Mexico and I loved it, even better than Narcos. You have to pay attention though, no playing with your phone or you'll get lost.

Righteous Gemstones was hilarious, will rewatch.

I thought the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was an excellent period piece and fantastically casted and scripted. I can see why some wouldn't be into it, but I enjoyed it.

Gemstones and Barry are 100% worth it

Barry & Gemstones far and away the top 2 on that list.

Get Shorty was fine. A lot of meh on that list (for my tastes).

If you don't mind subscribing to Showtime Now via Amazon for $10.99/month, I recommend Ray Donovan. There's 7 season (82 episodes) to watch. I don't like flipping between shows in season so I like to find one with multiple seasons queued up for me to watch. I've been on this series since December.

One I never thought I'd like bc I've never liked all the British royalty crap....The Crown. Very well done all the way around.

But from your list:

Succession was binged in basically 3 days it was that good.

Narcos-Mexico is great, season 2 is even better than season 1.

Hmmm...

Kind of odd to just completely write off all network TV btw.

well.....

a. i like to stream them - although i am aware many of them go to streaming later
b. i hate commercials
c. i haven't seen anything good on there for a long time
d. they don't tend to win many awards any more telling me they are not the best out there

PS by network I mean the traditional broadcast networks. I am still watching BCS for example on AMC. But honestly I just also never get recommendations of broadcast network shows from people which is also telling. And hate any medical/doctor, rescue, police/investigation or court/legal related episodic stereotypical dramas which seems to be 90% of them. I prefer the longform story arcs. And I like my comedies a little edgier than broadcast TV.

I'm even more confident in my Barry recommendation now!

Barry is strange to me because I actually don't find it to be that funny, it's more quirky with an interesting story.

The Devil Next Door was good.

But seriously just watch "The Office" again.
