I watched S1 when it came out and I thought it was pretty good.

Haven't  watched any of S2 yet.

I haven't seen s2 either.  I've come across some reviews that say the first few episodes were a bit disappointing, and then it gets amazing.

If it hasn't been mentioned here already...

I think a lot of you would enjoy the mini-series Dopesick.  I haven't watched it recently, but it crossed my mind earlier and I really liked it, so I thought I would suggest it.  It's on Hulu.

We just stumbled on The Four Seasons on Netflix. It's a remake of an 1981 Alan Alda / Carol Burnett movie into a TV series, starring Steve Carell, Tina Fey, and Will Forte. The premise is 3 middle-aged couples, long-standing friends, that go on vacation together every season. The first one (spring), Steve Carell reveals he wants to leave his wife (and does). From that point forward, he's now bringing his new 32-year-old girlfriend to the later trips in summer, fall, and winter. So it's basically a show exploring the relationships / group dynamic as it changes. 

The new series is an 8-episode TV show, episodes ~30 minutes each. Each "season" is two episodes. We ended up finding it on Monday night, watched 4 episodes, and then binged the other four last night. 

Very funny, well written, well-developed characters, and very well acted. Won't get into the end (which has some differences from the movie, if you're familiar with it), to avoid spoilers. 

Trigger warning: one of the couples is gay and there's moderate PDA. Clearly that's a change from the 1981 version lol. If that'll offend you, skip this one.

Holy cow, it has an 8.1 IMDB rating.  That's very high for a movie.
