For example, Top Gear is utter shite and currently has the worst presenters ever, but I find myself watching it - I guess the locations and guests can be vaguely interesting, but it's mostly just simple.

Although I do have one thought on the psychological thriller front: have you seen Mr Robot?

It's interesting because (unlike most movies) they had actual security consultants and use real-world tools and techniques, but without it being tedious (thought a couple of times I did feel it a bit name-checking/buzzword bingo).
