I'd be happy to give Raised by Wolves and Bojack Horseman a look, based on your assessment and copious praise I've seen of the latter, although Mr Robot was also similarly praised and I found it increasingly ridiculous. Acting was good though.
Will skip The Great. Making female rulers out to be sexbots and trashing their reputation is so commonplace, I refuse to watch yet another ahistorical take on Catherine. She was fascinating, but not for the reasons people usually have any interest in her.
We both like Schitt's Creek s1, and I've bought (though not watched) s2. There's potential for huge second hand embarrassment squick, but since, as you point out, all the characters are/start out as awful people, it doesn't really bite. It helps to know where it's going, and also to have been force-fed Green Acres and Gilligan's Island as a child. Both shows are big influences on Schitt's Creek. The writing is sharp and the acting very good. YMMV!
