I think you might prefer "prestige TV" from the streaming services. They're not trying to fill air time, so they tend to be shorter. They're not ad driven; they just want to have enough content that you keep subscribing.

To be sure, no one streaming service is likely to give you as much good content as you'd like. They're hoping that one good show at a time will keep you subscribed. (They have much, much, much more content, and somebody is watching each of them, but each one appeals to only a smallish set of subscribers.)

The other upside is that they generally keep things around. So if you're willing to watch not-still-being-made shows, you can just binge the content and maybe even drop the service after that.

Anyway... I'm watching Severance, and I think it's pretty great. Probably not enough to convince you to subscribe to AppleTV, but it's one example of a show that gets only 9 episodes per season, so it has to get to its point fairly fast.
