Lasso and Penguin for sure. I do love Reacher way more than I expected to but I'd say of the NEW shows Day of The Jackal killed it.

Solid choices.
 
I thought when I saw the list I wouldn't have seen any of these shows, however I have seen the last dance, queens gambit, and reacher.

I enjoyed all three.
 
I feel like Twisted Metal should be there. And Halo. I don't have any knowledge of the lore from the games, but taken as stand alone entities they were pretty freakin' entertaining.
I don't think Twisted Metal is top 3 but I enjoyed it immensely.

I went with Ted Lasso, Last of Us and Peacemaker.

Peacemaker caught me off guard when I watched it. It's got that Rick and Morty undercurrent of sadness but generally much more likable characters. It did a whole lot in very few episodes both on main plot and who these people are inside.
 
Last of Us
Fallout
Wednesday
 
1883 and Reacher.

Since they are the only ones on that list that I've seen.
 
The character development on Penguin was as good as I've seen in a long time and was my clear favorite. Andor because it was a true gem in the cesspool of Star Wars shit recently released. I can't wait for the new season. Finally, I picked Peacemaker because it was goofy different and the writing was spectacular.
 
I went:
The Penguin
Wednesday
Reacher

I don't watch Lasso because I can't stand Jason Sudekis. He reminds me of a guy I grew up with that got caught masterbating in his sweatpants in Gym.
 
We had a thread several months ago, and I aggregated a list of the shows most regularly mentioned (but also mentioned at all) from that thread, and then added some others that were not included. I can't remember if the specific range was for the last 5 years, but I think that's about right. Some would have fallen off from that range by now (ex. Chernobyl).

I haven't seen those two or a lot of this list. I've seen an episode of 8 of them and more than one episode of 6 of them.
 
Severance and Ted Lasso
couldn't vote for third from that list

other is too ambiguous

Severance buries all those other shows
