Does anyone have a short (maybe 8-10 episode) TV series to watch? I just finished Away and need something to watch next, but I don't want to get too deep into something. I've already seen Broadchurch, Little Fires, Dead to Me, Unbelievable, and Fleabag. Is there anything else about as long as those? Or have I seen it all?

Bridgerton is fluff but fun for hot main character, fun costumes and score.
Succession - only 6 eps for 2 seasons each. The Undoing - i think only 6 eps. Can finish in one weekend.
Sharp Objects, Queen's Gambit, The Wilds on Amazon, the Flight Attendant on HBO Max (this was surprisingly interesting and unexpected!), The Night Of (on HBO if you haven't seen it yet), The Affair (multiple seasons but I loved it and seems like we have similar taste in shows),
Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries. Gorgeous costumes!
Sharp Objects
Have you done Ted Lasso or The Morning Show yet?
Salt Fat Acid Heat was excellent, and only four eps. Also, the Mandalorian is great, we've been watching it with DC who has already seen it and is a Star Wars geek, I'm not super into it but have been impressed, it's way better than the recent movies. Also Queen's Gambit, Bridgerton. Luther is a great show, it's older but Idris Elba is fantastic.
We just got into a British sitcom called Friday Night Dinners on Amazon. It totally cracks me up. It's a good distraction -- not heavy or overly plot driven.
Doctor Foster is another one I really enjoyed. It's a mystery drama, only 10 episodes. I really like Suranne Jones, didn't enjoy Gentleman Jack so much but Dr Foster was good.
Outcry on Showtime
Lenox Hill was great, also my friend just rec’d I May Destroy You
Schitt's Creek. It took a few episodes before I "got" the characters, but I love it now. It also has some of the most surprising and truly romantic moments for a comedy that I've seen in ages--not done for laughs or a gag, but actually tender and moving and genuine.
I also highly recommend Normal People. we are watching The Vow on HBO. Very interesting and totally crazy.
The Great
The Boys. It's a very dark comedy series, but it's really good. S1 has only 8 episodes.
I really liked Unorthodox, which is only (I think) four episodes.
Have you seen Euphoria? Only 8 eps so far, though season 2 is coming later. Also if you haven't seen Big Little Lies yet the first season is only a few eps and very self contained.

Indian matchmaking is hilarious
