What I really want to see is more True Detective and Expanse.
TD season 1 was great, but I heard season 2 was awful so didn't watch. Bosch is another great show along the lines of TD.
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

I liked both. They are very different but imho TD S2 is better than most police/crime shows out there. For example, people think highly of Narcos and I wasn't amused. Few good episodes, rest is meh. TD S2 problem is TD S1 which is among top 3 TV dramas ever alongside Sopranos and Breaking Bad.

First season of True Detective is basically retelling of Twin Peaks, set in different setting and going on with different theme but basics are the same. Small town with ordinary people living their ordinary lives when inexplanable crime happens. Outsider comes to solve the case only to find out that citizens of the small town aren't so ordinary as it seemed at first glance. Same can be said for most of Steven Kings work as well.

Second season is a bit different because corruption is not that occult in nature, but is mostly your typical money/politics related corruption which means the second season of TD isn't so otherwordly like the first.

What differentiates Twin Peaks from TD and the likes is Lynch branded weirdness which is pretty peculiar and hard to explain but you know it once you see it. Twin Peaks is weird and thus hard to swallow for mainstream much like the other Lynch work, Eraserhead, Dune etc.

Twin Peaks is unbearably cheesy. I watched it to about halfway through s2 and honestly can't understand why people rate it that high.

This season had been like a 6 or 7 out of 10 for me before last episode. This recent ep gets a 10/10 from me and I am really looking forward to the finale now.
