Just got through MM. i know it’s not new, but I finally got to watch it. Great series. What’s fun and relevant is the portrayal of Don Draper (lead character) as a Chad. It is really spot on.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

There are a number of TV shows where I've watched 3 or 4 seasons, then just never got back into them. One definitely was "The Walking Dead". I never got around to watching the last few seasons of "The Shield", however, I should, because that was a bloody good show.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

First three seasons were A+ TV. And if guys on here want an example of a true alpha male with a IDGAF attitude who knows how to be charming and suave it is definitely Don Draper.
Agree with other posters though that season 4 and beyond got to be a chore. The pacing was off - and the whole "woman coming into their own" angle I think was very over-done. While that was changing somewhat in real life - even in the final season where it is 1970, it wasn't the reality that the show portrayed. But our society are masters of revisionist history to fit the woke agenda we have now.
