Severance - 1 season. Sci fi (ish), interesting, stylized. Sort of like LOST (because there's some mystery around what the company does or its purpose) meets a Kubric film (for styling). Idea is there's a company where a certain floor of workers have been "severed" meaning while at work they have zero memory/knowledge of their outside life. Outside, they have zero memory/ knowledge of their time at work. Funny in places, but mostly dark. starts off mysterious but we were hooked by the third episode and immediately binged the rest.
Succession: Power drama. Amazing characters. Dark humor. Three seasons. Almost every person is despicable. Billionaire media mogul Family "eats itself" and many others in the process of determining who will run the business when the patriarch retires or dies.
Barry: Dark humor. a few seasons. (3 or 4 or 5?) Hitman Barry moves to LA to work but starts taking classes to become an actor.
The White Lotus: One season is its own storyline. Season 1 takes place in Hawaii at a 5 star hotel resort. Various character sets / storylines, basically a peek into the dysfunction of the lives of rich people. It's funny, kooky, dramatic. Really good.
Watch the trailers and pick one. Obviously White Lotus and Severance are fewer episodes, so easier to complete than Succession or Barry.
TLOU you can just start watching.
