Parks and Rec - 1st season is mediocre but I don’t think it should be skippped.

Just be aware that it gets better.

The Leftovers - It starts somewhat confusing as it plays like a mystery box show, but it becomes one of my all time favorite series probably by halfway through the first season.

Mad Men - It gives the appearance of boring but it is not. Don Draper is an all time great character

Underground Railroad - It is discussed in terms of brutality but it’s actually a very hopeful show so the tough scenes are routinely offset by happier one.
