I've got 1 episode left of season 8 of Homeland and i'm at the point know where i'm eye rolling episode by episode.
The season started so strong, reminiscent of season 1 quality but after about episode 4 it's descending into 'shock, hah, surprise' story telling each episode. I'll both be sad and glad to see it end.

Some great series I’ve watched recently thanks to lockdown:
Upload - great sci-fi comedy
Tales from the Loop - I loved it, reminded me a little of The Leftovers. It’s a little slow but worth it.
The Man in the High Castle - late to the party but I really enjoyed the premise, it got a little boring towards the end tho.
Avenue 5 - not as funny as I’d hoped but just about watchable.
Space Force - again I feel they missed something with it, not as funny as it could have been but still an enjoyable watch.
Final Space - I nearly stopped watching this after a couple of episodes as the main character Gary is so annoying. However I’m glad I kept with it as it has some amazing episodes with powerful scenes which surprised me with a cartoon.
Breeders - Martin Freeman and a hilarious if not quite realistic take on parenting.
For All Mankind - loved this. Interesting alt history plot with accurate facts about the space race. Good sci-fi.
The Rookie - great light hearted cop drama/comedy with Nathan Fillion. Very enjoyable tv.

Condor on Sky catch-up. Enjoying it staying just the right the right side of the plausibility line. The escalation has been high in the first 6 episodes but it hasn't gone too far, it hasn't gone into Black List territory.
I've seen Three Days of the Condor but not read Six Days of the Condor but it has a vaguely similar vibe to the film although updated for an eternal war on terror era.
Good cast, nice production values and story is building sensibly.

I've seen all of the comedy ones on your list except Breeders and would echo all of your sentiments, except Final Space - I have no clue why people find The Gary annoying, he's awesome
Will try Breeders next.
it's a brilliant silly sitcom with some really funny moments and great acting, the characters work really well together.

binged the 3 episodes so far of Perry Mason....not what you expect it to be hear that title..it's really good and no agendas.
I don't usually like cop dramas but Nathan Fillion is just such a likeable lead I binged both seasons.
I'm now half way through Castle and enjoying every minute of it.

So just finished season 1 of Condor, surprisingly good. They kept it from jumping the shark which is often difficult on spy shows. The last episode had a number of lines lifted verbatim from 3 Days of the Condor which I watched over the weekend. Characters were from the film, the plot seems a bit more inspired by novel after reading the wiki synopsis. Season 2 starts this week so looking forward to it.

That's almost spooky, in that I was thinking this morning that I might give Justified it's second watch through when I finish Bosch. (For me I think it's in my Top 5) I have 1 season and 1 ep to go on Bosch and it was this that got me thinking. It's just a solid cop show, good story, good occasional bits a action and tension, good characters and good script and it had me thinking about Justified again. There are a few shows that are just solid all round. I think Elementary would be another, all round solid show.
Watched all of season 1 of Miracle Workers on sky and just started season 2. Quite funny and ideal if you're looking for something "light" to watch and the episodes are only 20 mins long
Now started cold case files on Netflix.

Its on Paramount channel. I think it’s in my5 as well
The Secrets She Keeps 5/10
All of the reveals were so blindingly obvious from the outset that despite it being a thriller you can’t really consider it that. Rather than being on the edge of the seat wondering what was going to happen next you were waiting for the things you knew were coming to happen. Shame really as it could have been good.
Its using the same soundtrack, so bound to be a connection and it's such a unique soundtrack.

Max Richter did The Leftovers, and Philip Glass did Tales from the Loop.
Both amazing soundtracks.
