NOW TV - what to watch?

I've just bought Now TV for a month on a deal and am wondering what to watch. I don't have Sky so what have I missed out on?
I've already binged Grey's Anatomy over lockdown. I bought Now TV to watch the latest ones.
I've already watched the Friends Reunion.(Is Matthew Perry OK??)
Tried Game of Thrones but can't be bothered to watch 78 episodes when I know the ending is terrible!
What should I watch next?

Definitely mare of easttown
City on a hill
The rookie is quite entertaining if you don’t want to think too much
SWAT ditto
Blue bloods (but there are eleven seasons only 10 and 11 online)
The night of
I would swerve Perry Mason (depressing) and
911 Lone Star -so bad it’s not even good

@couchparsnip
If you find you’re enjoying the NOW package, when you go thru the cancellation routine online say your reason for cancelling is ‘can’t afford it’ keep going until they offer you a three month half price deal
This works rather than a rolling contract at the full price

Another recommendation for Mare of Eastown. It's truly excellent.

You could watch both series of Succession quite easily in a month.

I'm currently watching The Nevers, only a couple of episodes in but enjoying it so far.

Watch Promising Young Woman if you watch nothing else! The Affair, Big Little Lies, definitely Mare of Easttown. We are currently quite enjoying Domina, even though I am still not sure who everyone is!

I actually Didn’t like that - it started off slightly comedy and then took a really horrible and disturbing turn, absolutely tragic and brutal and I can’t stop thinking about it, it’s really upset me, it’s like it didn’t know what it wanted to be if you see what I mean ? The earlier scenarios had a comedy feel (the absolute losers she was dealing with) then….so upsetting I felt.

Resident alien is great, though they throw some quite adult situations in it don’t they 😂
Hoping it’s renewed for a second series

@SappysCurry they definitely do! I really liked it, Alan Tudyk is one of my favourite actors and great for that role. It’s already been renewed for a second season 🎉

It is very unique I think….very watchable, I just watched one and I was hooked, can’t find anything comes close to compare to it, thanks for that so looking forward to next series

What was the closing line “holy shit’ or something 😂

Thanks for these.
I have watched most of Mare of Eastown and Resident Alien. Absolutely loving both of them.
Alan Tudyk is just brilliant.
Succession is next on the list. I may have to keep buying Now and ditch one of the others.

Breeders. It starts a bit weirdly shouty and sweary but it's now on series 3 and either I'm used to it or it has slightly changed.
