Honestly, Cowboy Bebop. The universe it builds feels lived-in, and the animation style is incredibl, but the music is really the star.
Be aware, however, that while there are happy moments, it is an anime about bounty hunters, and there are very few happy endings. Beautiful endings, poetic endings, satisfying endings - but never happy.
Lately Slow Horses on apple+
Very good UK agent/crime show.
Oh man so many. Most of which others are already mentioning. And I'm sure I'm forgetting many that have been constants througj the years. But these stand out.
Anime: Your Lie in April, Mushi-Shi, Scavenger's Reign, Violet Evergarden, One Punch Man
Anime but it's more of my selfish mention than a masterpiece: Tomo-chan is a Girl, The Wrong Way to use Healing Magic (English dub is really well done and I can be a sub snob most of the time), Bartender: Glass of God, Mashle:Magic and Muscles, Goblinslayer
Live Action:The Expanse, Midnight Diner, Midnight Diner:Tokyo Stories, The Goes Wrong Show, Blood Machines, How It's Made (I know, not likely what is being asked for but I thoroughly enjoy the show)
I have a really hard time getting into Live Action shows because too many of them either drag on, or they are just too predictable or forumlaic, or too samey, or it's all about people being horrible to each other. And there is also a severe lack of laid back story telling or unique story options. Hollywood is berift of interest for me 99% of thr time.
Your Lie in April
Such a great show! It slows down a bit in the middle, but gets going again!
Monogatari series. I must have watched that entire series like a dozen times already. I absolutely love the VA's performance. Finally reading through the Light Novels now.
Hajime No Ippo. Manga is still a blast and the anime was incredible too.
I had a good time with Blue Lock as well.
All of these animes have a fantastic story that even people who don't regularly watch anime's will love.
For shows: My name is Earl was a very funny one that never got a proper ending before being cancelled.
For anime: Serial Experiments Lain.
So i always recommend Mugen no Ryvius/Infinite Ryvius. Think of blue lagoon in space, but with a whole space ship of kids.
Steins;Gate, can't believe I haven't seen anyone mention it yet. It's good, but do watch at least halfway before you judge it.
Yeah this one takes several episodes to set the hook and understand some behaviors. But once it does it's binge worthy
Berserk 1997. Berserk is my favorite thing of all time, but it is deff not for the faint hearted.
Highly recommend the manga too. Its a bit different, but same atmosphere and general story. It has more context as 1997 was only designed for one season, so it cut out a lot of things that would have become important later on.

Mushishi. Very slow & contemplative, but I still think about it decades later.
Fuckin love Mushi-shi!! Just started a rewatch of it. It's way better and different to the overwhelming majority of so many animes. Top 3 of all time for me.
