SHIT... one thing I forgot to mention. I don't watch shows that are overly depressing or lack "good guys." My wife watches The Handmaidens Tale and that shit can kick rocks.
If you allow anime, Erased is fantastic. Murder mystery, 30 year-old is taken back to his childhood in the 80's to solve the murder of a childhood friend. (12 eps)
Run with the Wind is another great short watch, group of runners ranging from total novices to seasoned marathoners banding together to qualify and run in the biggest marathon relay race in Japan. (23 eps)

Season 2 wasn't that bad was it? I don't remember
Done
Ping Pong the animation is only 11 episodes long and has some of the best storytelling anime has to offer.
Welcome to the NHK is one of the best 1 season series I've ever seen. It's got some problematic elements, but it's a very compelling story about NEETs, Agoraphobia, paranoia and depression.
really really excellent.

You didn't even bother to read the first two words of the OP.
Utopia (british show) ran for 12, 1 hour, amazing episodes in the span of two seasons. Some of the best TV ever, so stylish and gripping.
Also, Black Mirror used to be a brilliant two season series before Netlfix purchased it. Later seasons haven't been so hot, but the anthology nature of the series makes it so that you can watch as much as you want and still get a lot out of it, be it one episode, a couple seasons or the entire series.

You don't have to edit it out but as far as your reasoning the OP's mention of it and apparent love of it to have purchased so many versions of it serves as a glowing recommendation to anyone that read the original post.
Going way back here, and I note that I've not seen it since it aired, but the first season of "Murder One" was pretty ace at the time.

The trick was a procedural that followed one big case for a whole season, instead of one case per episode. I think of it as a transition point from the self-contained episodes to today's multifaceted dramas.
Edit: 25 years ago? Jebus, I'm old.

Better Off Ted was a gem. It was so disappointing when it ended. The characters were amazing. The wackiness was amazing. And it sucks that there's a couple episodes that never aired or got put on the DVDs.
My pick is going to be controversial but I don't care. I loved the shit out of Cavemen. We never even got a choice of having a DVD set. It also has unaired episodes. I would pay for Blu-Rays.
I forgot this one earlier: Review was I think exactly 22 episodes long over three seasons, and ended on its own terms. I'm always kind of surprised this one doesn't have a bigger fanbase.
I'm clearly biased, but Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is the best show ever. And it's only 6 episodes.
On that argument, Line Of Duty; five seasons so far, each with a single mostly-standaline story - but with no more than six episodes for each.
Homecoming on Amazon Prime. Each episode is 30 mins long, 10 episodes total. Incredibly shot and paced show.
Honestly ignore season 2. It's not relevant. Season 1 is self contained. I'm not bullshitting you either. Season 1 has a begging, middle and end.

I wrote a post ages ago detailing great UK series - and given UK series lengths, I suspect many of these would fit the bill for you:
Pushing Daisies is 22 episodes from beginning to (admittedly rushed) end.
You should ignore all other recommendations and watch that instead.

Over the Garden Wall and Infinity Train from Cartoon Network are super short if you're into animation at all.
Also has one of the best pieces of media I have ever seen in one of it's episodes. Phenomenal show. They say it couldn't be done, but not only did they make a sequel it was (imo) better than the original.
