the hunger for good old action guys is strong out there, as disgusting as it may sound for prestige tv lovers

Action shows can be prestige. Prestige doesn't mean "slow as fuck and would bore the shit out of 99% of people nowadays", it just means exceptionally high quality, high production value, great writing, etc

Bodyguard showed you can have high quality political intrigue and drama without sacrificing intense action scenes. I think it benefited a lot from it's short 6 episode run, because everything felt tightly paced and the tension in several scenes was excellent.
It's a great middle ground between being being too dense and boring vs being too shallow, action-filed with no stakes or tension.

Barry actually has some good action while being still really high quality.

GoT may not have been an action series per se but had some amazing action in it

I love that Bill Hader finds a way to obscure Barry's face in most of the action so he doesn't have to do it.
