Suggest me shows to watch for con o'neill cuz im sad
Oh BOY have you come to the right place! Currently on a real Con safari over here.
I recommend Uncle first and foremost, because it's a comedy. Con plays Val, who's quite similar to Izzy in some ways (fiercely protective, insightful, funny, occasionally aggressive), but in drag/genderqueer with a more nurturing presence. Which is wonderful.
On a more drama-y note. Happy Valley is an intense northern noir crime show where Con appears regularly in season 2-3 as Neil - very babygirl, very cute.
More niche, but he's in season 2 of 'Ordinary Lies' a slice of life drama set in a warehouse. Each episode focuses on one character that works there and he appears in most episodes - his focal episode is the first one in the series and it is heart breaking but has some lighter moments.
Cucumber (and I believe one episode of companion series Banana) is an LGBT drama, again with comedy moments. Con plays a lawyer and best friend of the main character. Very funny but also really dark in places (explicit in places, so be warned). I saw this when it came out in like 2015 and it was really solid.
The most niche example I've come across so far is a podcast called 'Kisses in the Dark' about a supernatural sort of vampiric killer (Con). Have only listened to episode one so far but it's very dark and creepy. It's on youtube, audible, lots of places.
There are random episodes of UK shows too, like Midsomer Murders, Wild Bill etc. Which you'd have to look up on his imdb, but these are the big ones I've seen right now.

The BAFTA TV Awards nominations are out! Don’t get me wrong I’d love to see Lesley win, but these two! truly deserve to go home with the trophy 🏆 For three amazing seasons I've been in awe of their performances in Happy Valley.

In the long run, she should be included among the short list of actresses who truly elevated the craft- Streep, Duse, Bernhardt, Leigh, Hagen, Dench, and Page.
We are truly so fortunate to be living in the same time as this incredible artist. Not just an actor- an artist.

My favourite kind of watching something just for Con O'Neill is when you hear him yelling before you see him. Like, hark! is that my boy?
