Seriously, it's a matter of taste, which things/themes are interesting to you, and how they have been put into the product which 'occupies' your screen ;->
While Okkupert's technical production values were excellent, the pilot and first few parts were interesting because of the novelty of the EU sending the Russians to occupy arrogant Norway to ensure continuing streams of oil and gas, the rest wasn't IMO. Some some police procedural, some secret agent, polit crime thrill thing with some personal/family trouble under said occupation at length. Yawn.
What's blowing my mind? Not much TBH. I'm rather bored and jaded by most of it.
This all began about 2006 with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica_(2004_TV_... after having abstained from possessing a TV, or watching that by other means (with some exceptions for news and documentaries) since 1996, and mostly no cinema either.
That stuff rehooked me in a binge-watching session. Shit happens :-)
Actually I've watched much more, be it movies, or TV-Series. It's just that the ones I've listed above left a more lasting impression on me, than some blockbusters I didn't mention, or that I'd consider them 'rewatchable' (Which I rarely (want to) do anyways).
Let's take Breaking Bad for instance, I did binge-watch that (while being stoned) and remember it as cringe-worthy. Nope, won't watch again. Then there was Continuum, which I know I've watched in full(sober, this time) and I can't even remember anything. Had to be too generic for me, I think?
What else, the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Mostly boring, except the scene where some hispanic Chica outstared her, and she learned that from her. That was funny for me :-)
