“Superboy” was 10000 times better than “Smallville”. “Smallville” should’ve been killed off after Season 2.

Can't agree with you there. Rosenbaum's Luthor alone is enough to make Smallville indispensable to me as a Superfamfan, and there's lots more I love about the show besides.
As for Superboy, it is without exaggeration probably the single most inept allegedly professional television production I've ever seen -- but when I say I love it as well, I mean that sincerely and without irony. It's a complete blast.

So Britannia is good then? The trailers on Amazon Prime look good, but I haven't gotten a chance to check it out yet.
I can't believe I forgot Dr. Who in my earlier list. I looked back at it, and I honestly don't know which show I'd switch it for. I'll just call it an honorable mention. I'm gonna throw the whole Arrowverse in there as a second honorable mention.
If you like magical Druids vs. Romans in 45AD, you'll like the show. It's not normally my cup of tea, but I can tell you just watch the opening scenes before the credits roll for the first time, and you'll be hooked. The best part is, it's Amazon so you got the whole first season to binge. Acting is great, the scenery is wonderful, the special effects excellent. The worst part is, this first season is just now out, so you'll be waiting a year for season two.
