For Black Mirror, I watched the first episode, realized it was full of the kind of dark that I didn't want in my head at the time, and punted. I've had two episodes recommended to me and I enjoyed them both. One was "San Junipero" (which I'm also recommending to you - it was up for a Hugo, I believe), and also "USS Calister" which is kind of "It's a Good Life" crossed with "Galaxy Quest" so you might enjoy that. Nobody fucks a pig in either one.

I watched S1 (plus maybe one more episode?) of Breaking Bad back when the show was still in its last or 2nd to last season and the absolute darling of many folks, and decided that, no, it really was full of people I didn't like.

It doesn't help that I am tired of the 'asshole dude antihero' lead character. I'm not *quite* burned out on "asshole dudette antihero" just because it's less worn out territory. One of the things I loved in "Jessica Jones" besides Jessica being a tire-fire is Jeri Hogarth being a glorious trainwreck. (Speaking of whom, I haven't seen any of S3 but one of my favorite minor beats in S2 was the sex workers sitting around chatting while Jeri's asleep.)

S2 was kind of annoying because I really didn't like how they handled Jessica's mom - frankly, Jeri's story was more interesting to me.

Had a similar response as you to Bojack Horseman. I am told that they eventually turn it into something better and there's good stuff later but, I'll pass for now, thanks.

On a better front, I'm partway through and enjoying "Counterpart", with JK Simmons and also JK Simmons.

Also, not a series, but if you haven't seen "Fast Color", you might want to check it out. It's a superhero movie that's a very different sort of superhero movie.
