Never find a show that is so bad that you can't look away? Something that is just profoundly retarded that it enthralls you with its retardation.
Right now for me it's the Paramount Plus original "evil".
Some highlights include:
A guy getting away with a crime by lying that his 4chan account was hacked.
VR and videogames are scary!1!1.
A potentially season spanning subplot about the 8chan incel army rising up.
My personal favorite for every crime show, touching the evidence with their bare hands all the time.

It's so stupid that I can't even guess what's going to happen.

Regional adaptations of shows usually end up pretty bad. Big TV sees a show that does well in another country and remakes it. They usually don't understand why it's liked and make weird changes. An example would be the inbetweeners. The American adaptation is just weird and feels really phoned in. Like no one involved gave a shit and just hoped that itd do well with marginal effort because it did well in other countries.

(I'm not British. I just live in a country that imports both British and American TV shows)

Sold me on it, kek.

For me, it is Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. It's a bad show, almost every character is bad and/or cringe, it has an obnoxious pooner and a loud negress, and the plot is a Harry Potter rip-off. But I still enjoy it so much, especially Father Blackwood and I-Am-No-Man LOTR actress chewing all the scenery. Best part is due to sudden cancellation Sabrina gets her just desserts.
 
I have a soft spot for Reaper jist is a kids dad sold his soul to the devil before he was even born and on his 18th birthday the devil shows up and is basically like "lol collect these peoples souls that escaped from hell or I'm taking you there"

Shows fuckin' stupid CW shit but it makes me giggle way more than it should. Ray Wise plays the devil if that helps.

The Brady Bunch Variety Show. So bad its bad. Marcia high on coke during the tapings, Ann B Davis fighting with Rip Taylor, guest stars like the what's happening cast, disco duck, tina turner, etc.

They covered stuff like Live and Let Die (Yes. You heard me.) and had themed episodes. A wizard of oz one where they perform Car Wash...

Best part was fake Jan because she was actually the most skilled at music

Father of the Pride comes to mind.

Furry coombait show in the early 2000s based around anthro versions of Siegfried and Roy’s tigers.

That sounds better than what I thought it would be. A Steve Martin sequel to Father of the Bride where he has a Gay Mullato Grandkid. (like many boomers)
 
I'm a few episodes further in evil:
A soyboy shit in a box and gives it to some chick because she wouldn't go out with him.
The codephase for the incells is literally S.O.I.
Soyboy accidentally domes himself because no trigger discipline .
Slavery was done by Satan.
Buddhism is also Satan.
The Rwandan genocide? Yep, it was Satan.
An old lady bangs a dude so hard they catch on fire.
The evil therapist is a secret beta
Literally Satan is a therapist for the evil therapist.

I remember an interview with one of the creators where they talked about approaching Hollywood about a Red Dwarf movie. Apparently they wanted Hugh Grant to play Lister cause nothing says sloppy space bum like Hugh Grant...

Yea I read that an saw Rob Grant talking about it in 3 million smegging years, Robbert Lewellin was the only one onboard from the main RD cast, I saw the one episode they filmed and it was dire like even for an American copy of an English show it was dire.

Odd it getting scrapped is why we had Terri Hatchr in DS9 she was supposed to play the Cat, an was able to take the Dax roll as a result, it's also why there is canonically a JMC and DivaDroid office on the Promenade of DS9 she apparently became a fan and some of the prop guys where also from the production so they snuck in references where ever they can. The Self Sealing stembolts in the series are all JMC branded.

I'm enjoying all the Harlan Coben shows. They're all extremely goofy, yet extremely intricate murder/people-with-a-secret-past mystery thrillers (that are not very mysterious or thrilling). They have some pretty good (or at least enjoyable) actors involved (Richard Armitage, James Nesbitt, Anthony Head, Stephen Rea, Joanna Lumley) along with some absolute hacks. The pacing is absolutely breakneck, with every episode ending in a little "mind-boggling" cliffhanger that gets instantly resolved in the first 5 minutes of the next episode. The plots...well they are at least internally consistent, yet make absolutely no sense if you think about it for literally 30 seconds...but they don't really need to. The shows set their own questions and mysteries and answer and solve all of them but nothing else.

It's weird too, as the killings are very graphic and realistic (in the TV sense), but everything else is like soap opera level - fight scenes choreographed by Rudy Ray Moore, American CSI shows level of CSI (except when it needs to not be), computer hacking courtesy of Acid Burn and Crash Override. The only thing this show is missing is gratuitous female nudity to be utterly perfect.

I usually hate "turn your brain off" shows, but this veneer of BBC legitimacy spackled over just an absolute garbage tier mess of a show just somehow works. I mean if you're gonna have Joanna Lumley as your murderous, big-pharma billionaire matron, and she plays it absolutely dead serious, I'm going to watch your show.

episode about the elevator game creepypasta.
Evil therapist literally eats popcorn and heckels black priest .
A Djinn that shows up when the main character is horny.
God is based and thinks pedos should burn to death.
Hamfisted George Floyd episode.
The guy that plays Woody the medical examiner from psych is also a therapist and he has hemorrhoids.
Satan did racism.
God did covid.

Every episode somehow is stupider than the last.
