Your favourite TV series that no one else you know has seen

[SinkGirl]

Currently unable to sleep so thought I would ask others!

I feel like I’ve seen everything that’s regularly recommended but I have a few TV shows I love that rarely ever come up in discussions. I figured I would share mine and maybe others could share theirs and we can all find something new to us!

The main ones that come to mind for me are:
Silicon Valley
Barry
Carnivale
Party Dowb

Almost all HBO so harder to get hold of but all absolutely brilliant and worth seeking out.

Also 30 Rock and The Shield - these come up more often but still not widely seen in the UK

What are yours?

The Thick of It. I love it and no one I know has ever watched it, despite my constant recommendations!

The 100.
I started watching as it's full of ex-Neighbours cast members (which no one I know watches either) but six seasons on DH and Iare still watching. It's teens do Battlestar Galactica, a sort of post-apocalyptic Hollyoaks. But good.

Oh I love Thick Of It. Also 2012 and W1A which are very similar in their humour.

Revenge! It was on e4, my stepdaughter and I loved it but everyone else has a blank look when I mentioned it!

I still have a major crush on Emily van camp

Lucifer!

Mr robot, Succession, Utopia uk version. All incredible shows!

Vikings

Superstore. I have actually cried laughing at so many episodes.

Upload
The Protector (random subtitled Turkish sci-fi / fantasy about immortals I discovered on Netflix during lockdown)

@SingToTheSky

Revenge! It was on e4, my stepdaughter and I loved it but everyone else has a blank look when I mentioned it!

I still have a major crush on Emily van camp

Oooh I LOVED Revenge too! Nolan and his 'I'm coming up with a scheme' looks made my day.

Ghosts
Utterly adore it, have no one to talk to about it

The Bold Type
The Secret Life of Us (really old)

Loved the Thick of It - a friend recommended it to me a couple of years ago. Wish I'd seen it sooner.

I loved upload, I was properly hooked by the end.

I loved the UK version of utopia, I can't bear to watch the remake. I don't know why they cancelled it.

I love Upload. Revenge I watched too. Also into The Resident now because of Emily and Matt Czuchry.

An old series I watched years ago was Sleepers. Nigel Havers and Warren Clarke were two soviet sleeper agents who’d been in this country so long they were totally british. Brilliant TV. I bought the box set, just need to find time to sit and watch it.

I remember the secret life of us! Think I was too young for it at the time!

I haven’t seen The 100, I will put it on my list!

I should add descriptions for mine...

Silicon Valley: comedy about a start up in (obviously) Silicon Valley. Dark and funny and a bit geeky, with brilliant characters

Barry: pitch black comedy about a hitman who wants to give up killing and become an actor. Impossible to describe well, it’s extremely dark in parts but hilariously funny

Carnivale: epic drama about the battle between good and evil, set in a dustbowl era travelling carnival. Amazingly good

Party Down: comedy about a group of caterers in LA. Each episode set at a different event. Very adult humour, but smart and lots of brilliant ideas

30 Rock: comedy about the writers and actors in a cable sketch comedy show (like SNL but less successful). Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin are so good in it, and the writing is brilliant

The Shield: basically a Shakespearean tragedy set in the LAPD with possibly the best antihero on TV.

Also I forgot to add The Jinx - HBO documentary, possibly the best documentary I’ve ever seen (don’t read up on it first though!)

Looking forward to seeing your suggestions

Bootle Saddles (1984-ish)

Ghosts
The OA
The Originals
I May Destroy You

Oh and Chewing Gum.

They are missing out on Michaela Coel so badly

Call My Agent - a French comedy drama set in a Paris acting agency. It has big-name guest stars (think Juliette Binoche, Monica Bellucci), a crackling script and is so perfectly Parisian.

I love it so, and hardly anyone will watch it - as soon as I mention the subtitles, they turn their noses up!

Hunters! (Prime)

There's some debate around whether it sensationalises the Holocaust in some scenes, but blimey - the last episode had my jaw on the floor!

Tru calling (cut short sadly)
Unforgettable

This is us. Best tv ever.started watching it in canada 5 yrs ago.
All episodes now on amazon prime.
Worth every penny or go for the trail
Cried at every episode. Give it a try

Everyone I know has seen This is Us! Where do you live that no one you know has?
