If you like horror then I HIGHLY recommend Savageland on Prime. It's found footage BUT it's done in the much easier to digest documentary style rather than shaky cam. It also has one of the coolest and most unique methods of presenting it's scares I've seen in a long while and takes a normally style idea and makes it legitimately one of the most chilling and creepy films I've seen in years. Go into it totally blind because the slow discovery of what it's about is one of it's biggest delights.

Found footage horror is my biggest guilty pleasure so I’ll be checking that out ASAP.

Both are fairly short commitments compared to a lot of the HBO stuff and really deserve some love.

Carnivale is as good as anything HBO has ever put out. That and Deadwood are easily my favorite HBO shows even though I think The Wire is a more important show.

Appreciate everyone’s recommendations a ton! Think I’m going to start off with Carnivale and work my way through these from there.

I agree with the One Planet comments. It’s beautifully shot. But yeah, grim on climate change. And, as someone earlier asked, so far no animal has been savagely killed. (Ok maybe one penguin)

Generation Kill is incredible as is Show Me a Hero. Pretty much everything David Simon does is amazing. Those miniseries really should be in more of these conversations with stuff like Breaking Bad, Deadwood, and The Wire for best stuff ever produced on TV. God I wish The Deuce wasn't boomer brain trash.

There are a number of Malaysian movies on Asian Netflix. Any way I can know if they are available in other regions? I know people who have watched them on UK Netflix but that's it. I seem to remember a website that tells you what things are available in each region.

HBO has The Nun streaming. It was kind of a let down compared to the other movies in this series (Annabelle Creation, The Conjuring, etc). It was borderline awful, but probably worth watching if you like these flicks. It had some cool creepyass moments, but it felt more commercialized? I don't even know what to call it. HBO is also streaming Annabelle Creation and was a thumbs up. It has a nice slow buildup and then goes from spooky to full on FUUUUUUU till the end. Netflix has Trailer Park Boys. I don't know why I have never watched this, but it's fantastic. I've heard nothing but great things since it was released, but never had the time to watch it. So god drat funny.

Be warned, a couple of the most recent seasons of TPB were really bad. Strangely enough there was a great season after a bad one though.

I was a little mixed on Savageland. It wasn't bad. I liked what they were going for but the execution felt a clumsy at times and it sort of dragged. Still worth watching though.
