Yes!
I didn’t know of any good Taiwanese shows for a long time, but it appears that the last couple of years a few good Taiwanese TV shows have started coming out. Not your typical cheesy dramas with terrible acting and totally unbelievable stories. Two I’ve watched recently:
Any other recommendations?
My wife agrees with your second recommendation, but she likes the first one too. Most Taiwanese “drama’s” or “soaps” that I get to watch over her shoulder make me 
Years ago I used to watch a show called 大陸尋奇, about travel destinations in China. It’s the only Taiwanese TV show I ever thought was actually any good.
Not exactly a TV show, which is a shame… but there is this youtube program in the style of an US political satire late night talk shows called Bouen Night Night Show (柏恩夜夜秀).
Currently it’s a mix between John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight and the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, leaning slightly more towards Last Week Tonight.
Here’s a segment on the wackiest platforms of the 2018 election

Ding went on to the show even after Bouen made a spoof of Ding Shouzhong’s campaign song

Ding even mentioned that Bouen’s show gives a boost to the candidates similar to the effect of a Colbert bump.
That’s not exactly a glowing recommendation. 
Sorry for your loss man. Those are quality entertainment.
Anyway, Bouen is pretty progressive, although he does offer analysis in a pretty unbiased way. For example, in his energy policy video, he clearly describes the problem of rebooting nuclear as well as expanding coal and gas power, and he absolutely doesn’t take a side in that segment. It’s just boring facts with some jokes sprinkled over it. That’s why it’s a bit more John Oliver than Colbert.
Unlike the standup comic Huang Yi-hao who absolutely took a pro-gay-marriage stance.
Left wing talking points coated in a thin veneer of humor? No loss at all. Colbert could be funny sometimes before Trump, but he completely lost his mojo after that.
Most comedians say it’s more difficult to write jokes about Donald Trump because all you need to do is repeat what he said, and that makes it hard to show personal creativity and stand out.
Seems like it was much harder to write jokes about Obama…because you’re not allowed to make jokes about black people.
The Daily Show and the Colbert Report poked fun at Obama pretty frequently. It’s just that most of the things Obama said weren’t already a joke coming out of his mouth.
They also had plenty of black correspondents who can tell a piece of story from their perspective.
The fact remains that most comedians stayed away from jokes about Obama most of the time. It’s true, he was pretty boring, but his constant off-script stuttering would have been good for impressions. The Daily Show was a little better at taking risks, but they could have really given it to Obama, and didn’t for political reasons.
Jon Stewart and other comedians didn’t stayed away from imitating Obama’s speech patterns. They didn’t exaggerate his stuttering, as most comedians focuses on poking fun of politician’s logic and integrity. Their imitation only needs to get the point across that they are speaking from the politician’s perspective.
I guess you really don’t watch these shows.
I sometimes watched the Daily Show (Jon Stewart could be quite good) and the Colbert Report. Colbert’s new show is literally unwatchable.
Silly impressions is one of Jon Stewart’s schtick. His frequently did an Obama impression during the last couple of years at the helm of the daily show. There’s one at the 0:56 mark of that video.
Unfortunately, that impression isn’t unflattering at all. Some real comedy could be milked out of all that stuttering and hemming and hawing, and it would be poking fun at his undeserved image of being articulate. But not many comedians are willing to take that kind of risk in such a PC climate.
Just went to a taping of the 夜夜秀 tonight. I had high hopes a few months ago but seems it won’t last after this season ;(
I haven’t found any. Are there high budget well done productions?
On Children.
If you have Netflix (which probably you do), check it out.
If you like Black Mirror, then it’s a good one to watch. Warning tho: episode runs long. Typical Taiwanese to do overdone long artsy shots.
