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?

Denise we looove spaced. Have been fans of the main cast ever since! Quote from it often... especially if I eat twiglets. They make me violent. :o

I’m going to have to look up in treatment as that sounds like my kind of thing. Especially as I want to train to be a therapist myself but I definitely have issues 😂

That’s reminded me of a comedy I used to love with Caroline Quentin about a counsellor. Just looked it up - kiss me Kate.

I’m currently watching a mini series called The trouble with Maggie Cole before it disappears from itv hub - it’s got Mark Heap in it and it’s SO weird seeing him play a normal, sensible character! I adore him as Brian from spaced, Dr Statham from green wing, and Jim from Friday night dinner! This role could not be more different 😂

Young Americans. I loved it!

Shrill
A Touch of Cloth
Dark Tourist

Both on Netflix
Rake-about a dodgy Australian lawyer
Lillehammer-an American that upsets some mafia and goes into hiding in...Lillehammer

I've watched Stella and agree it's fabulous. No one has mentioned my choices yet.
Also loved watching The Flying Doctors

I've watched Offspring too and loved it

Revenge
Elite
Pretty Little Liars
Riverdale
Hache

'Upright' on Now TV. Very very dark comedy series starring and written by Tim Minchin.

Oh I quite liked Clique as well. Must watch the second season

Bosch
Detectorists
Crazy Ex Girlfriend
Queer Eye

I adored Upright!

Crashing - hilarious! A group of 20/30 something's living in an old hospital before it's demolished (officially, not as squatters). Phoebe Waller Bridge is one of the main characters and is just as hilarious as she is in fleabag. (I think I found it on more4).

warriors - an outstanding BBC drama set in Bosnia during the war. It must be about 25+ years ago now. It was brilliant and I just wish it was available on DVD or the BBC did a rerun.

We're loving Resident Alien too. First scripted comedy I've laughed out loud at for ages.[/quote]
I absolutely love it. We save it for Friday evenings so looking forward to tonight. The kid is a brilliant little actor too.

I also loved Upright I've seen mentioned. It was funny and endearing.

One of my favourite underrated shows was WayWard Pines. Great series with a monumental twist a couple of episodes in. It was meant as a one of series but due to its success they made another. Unfortunately the second wasn't based on the brilliant books that the first was and it fell flat for me.
The first series will always remain incredible.

Waves to @cordelia16 yep Chuck for us is a classic! Your list is basically what we've watched too . We always say when going shopping "going to the Buy More" lol.

Have you tried?

Castle (with Nathan Fillion from Firefly and The Rookie tv series)? About a writer that follows a detective about and the cases they encounter. Sounds naff but is actually good. Can recommend it.

Also Covert Affairs is a good watch too. Dont know anyone who has seen it apart from my family though.

Animal Kingdom - Prime

Damages-Prime

The casketeers. Kiwi program about Maori undertakers. True life, Utterly hilarious with loads of hakas and a running joke about leaf blowers

Rosehaven. Gentle Aussie comedy about two estate agents in Tasmania.

What channel is casketeers? Sounds worth it for the accents....

Two seasons on Netflix. We discovered it two years ago on holiday in NZ. There is a third season but I don’t think it’s dropped on Netflix yet

Ah ok I'll take a look when we get N back. I mean I like a same comedy but who doesn't like Hakkas and hot accents too

The Path
Bates Motel
The OA
Dark (absolutely amazing)
The Wilds
Top of the Lake (first series only, second wasn't good)
The Five
The Family (the one with Andrew McCarthy)
Looking for Alaska
The Other One

I thought of another oldie

Let the Blood Run Free

An Australian comedy that I have never known anyone else watch

I had completely forgotten about this programme!

I really enjoyed Staff Let’s Flats, it a comedy.

The number of people saying Detectorists suggests it was in fact hugely successful and widely watched, not some obscure find.
