You watching succession? HBO consistently has great acting.

I’ve been thinking the exact opposite. I recently finished Last of Us and Perry Mason (season 2) and am now in the middle of Beef and I think all three are great.

I think ~10 years ago was a local maximum of American TV quality, and we've been going downhill into a land of lots of shovelware.

Depends on the show. These Korean shows I definitely agree, they over act and it makes it hard for me to watch them.

There are some Korean shows that don't do that and have more realistic/older characters, e.g. "My Mister" and "Liberation Notes". It's a bit of a niche but there's good work in that area too.

Since virtually all Korean dramas are in mini-series format, the right way to do it is to basically wait until the year's awards season, see which dramas of the 200+ the industry produces annually made the cut, then pick the 2-3 you find interesting and watch those.
