We would love to find something similar, ideally with a few seasons already in the can so we can watch it for a while. But we'd consider a new series also.

Your input is appreciated as usual.
"Yellowstone" is good. It is a modern cowboy drama. It has sex and violence in it (if that is bothersome). it shows Native Americans as a spectrum from the very wealthy to the very poor. Same for whites. And some minor parts for Black Americans. It is on Peacock.
........"Alpha house" is a high quality but light comedy about US Senators. It parodies and exaggerates some actual events and has a few real-life politicians come in for small cameos. It is on Prime.
.........."the Expanse" is a good choice for sci/fi fans (very realistic with good graphics) It is also on Prime.
.........."One Night in Miami" is also on Prime. It is from the era when Cassius Clay converted to Mohammed Ali. it imagines the dialogue of a meeting between Ali, Sam Cook, Jim Brown, and Malcolm X. It would be a good watch for history buffs and nostalgia buffs. Some good music by Sam Cook. Also, the acting is very good!
