I think the characters in the Mentalist are fun. Simon Baker is a good lead as well. The long overarching story is quite fun too. Had a lot of fun doing a watch of that whole thing last year.
Young Sheldon is actually good once you get past the Jim Parsons narration. If you're predisposed to liking sitcoms, I think you'll dig. I watched like eight episodes in one night the other day.
I lowkey love procedurals/copaganda TV so honorable mentions are: Elementary, original CSI (you'll recognize everyone), Lucifer and Without a Trace.

psych is abt this guy who has v amazing observation skills and pretends to be psychic to work w the police to get out of trouble w them lol. v good and it’s just like, what happens when the bit goes too far
castle is abt a writer who works w a hot lady detective and its v will they won’t they energy. super fun in nyc
white collar is my FAVORITE i rewatched it with my partner a few years ago and its just mwah! matt bomer and willie garson (rip <3) are con men working w the fbi, also in nyc, to solve v slay artworld adjacent crimes. matt bomer plays an art forger who is insanely skilled at his craft. it’s not violent rly it’s just fun and quirky and i’d highly recommend

GOOD OMENS
ik that there’s a lot of controversy around this show rn, but i genuinely love michael sheens and david tennants chemistry.
THE YOUNG POPE
maybe i just love jude law but his performance was so good.
DECAMERON
this is the most interesting premise a show had since ages. i love medieval stories and i haven’t seen many shows that are set in this period that are comedies
SHERLOCK
ik everyone has already seen this show, but i could watch this show a 100 times and i wouldn’t get bored.
