* TheFourChordsOfPop: ''Series/TopGearUK'' for music fans, hosted by four music geeks (hence the title) covering every known music genre in existence, and then some. Known for having the Rock 'n Pop Board, where they place covers for albums the hosts think are the coolest, and Star with an Mini Strat, where celebrities see how well they can perform each EpicRiff from a set of famous rock songs with a standard Squier Mini Strat. Suprisingly, {{boy band}}s, {{girl group}}s, NuMetal and HairMetal are not among the AcceptableTargets (TheBigGuy[=/=]Jeremy Clarkson equivalent lists ''[[Music/MotleyCrue Dr. Feelgood]]'' as among his favorite albums ever, and TheHeart is a fan of the Music/BackstreetBoys), and TheBigGuy[=/=]Jeremy Clarkson equivalent shows a dislike of Music/{{Nirvana}} and frequently interrupts the other presenters' praise for the band with objections, such as calling them a "glorified Music/NeilYoung cover band."

* ScrewTheRulesItsTheApocalypse: A zoomer-centric HorrorComedy series where mismanagement cascades into the collapse of the society and while the old people wind up killing each other out of paranoia and general human idiocy, the younger generations realize that their futures are no longer doomed from the start and start their own rad society full of punk-fashion, music, art and TotallyRadical slang. Much of the conflict comes from military and law enforcement trying to regain their former ranks and glory in a world that no longer acknowledges them and does all the wrong things (like unprovoked aggression) to regain it, only for it to fail from a mix of bad luck and a lack of empathy.

* DeadlyGraduation: A Horror-Drama series where, due to a clerical error, the US Government believes that a High School in Wisconsin is secretly a terrorist training camp and has the entire campus walled off and turned into an internment camp with below-standards living conditions. The series runs on HanlonsRazor; there are laws that slow down the due process of the situation out of America's paranoia towards terrorism, there are parents who genuinely believe that their kids are terrorists with no proof because of their warped sense of patriotism, the man overseeing the whole operation -- GeneralRipper -- wants to send his men in to massacre all of them before it goes to trial but can't because of "Woke Washington", and the whole thing is one big metaphor for America's foreign policy, the Uvalde Mass-Shooting Incident and Law-Enforcement. Think ''Literature/BattleRoyale'' in a post-Trump America.
