Throwing in my recommendations and limiting it to sleeper shows that don't get recommended much. (The expanse, silo, foundation, arcane, severance etc already get lots of love). They aren't all must watch but worth checking out, particularly the first 3

Mr Inbetween - Aussie show about a hit man that plays out like an incredible slice of life.

Sense8 - sci fi based show based around 8 people who find themselves linked. It's weird, LGBTQ friendly & forward and has some explicit scenes.

The goes wrong show - BBC theatre piece. Amateur theatre company attempt plays. Each actor has their own quirks, faults and confidence issues. Chaos ensues, the show must go on.

------ other decent stuff in case 3 top tier isn't enough

Almost human - cancelled early formula show of he's a cop but his partner's an X (in this case android). Had humans vibes and good chemistry

3 body problem - sci fi adaptation from prominent Chinese author

Community - some people seem to have missed it

You're the worst - a show about terrible people

    I don't know if it's still valid but when I did bronze med yes, there was an approach position with one raised leg to kick or splash if needed that was taught.

    Drowning people will often try to climb on you and shove you under to breath. If splashing and keeping distance with a foot fails you hold your breath and dive. They will let go and try to get back to air.

    The general chain of preferences was: reach>throw>wade>row>swim>tow

    Reach with a stick or something if you can avoid getting in.

    Throw a flotation aid or rope

    Wade out and throw a flotation aid or rope

    Use a boat or board etc if available

    Swim out with a flotation aid

    Swim out and tow them in while swimming.

    Given cars are becoming more and more like modern computers and most people have some preference of what side of the wheel the indicator is on: It's surprising that manufacturers don't allow changing the stalk side via software setting

    Think for me it's probably the expanse for how well suited the opening and theme is to expressing the vibe of the show.

    Other shows I'd rate the theme music/opening vibe favourably include:

    The 4400 (2004 version)

    Battlestar Galactica

    Community

    Foundation

    Flight of the Conchords

    Halt and catch fire

    Mandalorian

    Silo

    Westworld
