The Bachelor, The Bachelorrette, Bachelor in Paradise, Bachelor Winter Games.... and oh yeah, the late Bachelor Pad. 
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Priority is frequently put on shows that have already ended due to the necessity of rebinging on shows when a new season drops.
It’s a long road to travel, even with these restrictions I’ve put on myself, but it’s been a long time and I’ve been through a lot of them (even a couple shows that are no longer on the list.) At the moment, I’ve got Ash vs. Evil Dead Season 1 from the library and Handmaids Tale on Hulu and I’ll probably be looking at Episode 2, Series 2 of Westworld when it premieres tonight.
I was thinking about watching Dark. It seems interesting.

Yeah, it does, especially if you're A) into convoluted psychological thrillers, or B) a Germanophile. That said, it looks really freaking convoluted (due to the three timelines, which apparently will branch out into another one in Season 2). Good thing there's an English dub it apparently defaults to (which I will watch with the English subtitles as I normally do, especially for something dubbed into English.)
When I'm fully caught up with The Handmaid's Tale (I'll be watching Episode 5 soon; shame that once we see June's feet, it's because they've been all bloodied from bastinado), I'll be getting to this series.

I am still debating with myself in regard to watching The Handmaid's Tale.

Well-done, but really fucking harrowing. Preachy, but given who's in the White House, it's not like the points it's preaching about are unwarranted.
