Gotta be

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The Good Place

there are other shows I love but I think these two don’t have a single bad episode. It’s all brilliant right from the pilot to the finale

Schitts Creek
Brooklyn 99

Succession;
Line of Duty;
Breaking Bad (seasons 1-4, don't like season 5 and they should have ended on 4 which was genius from start to finish);
McMafia

Last Tango in Halifax was a favourite here, unless you count the real oldies from way back - Upstairs Downstairs, etc.

Oh, and Spiral (Engrenages) the brilliant French police drama (subtitled). So good I bought the whole box set for dh a couple of Christmases ago - only a relatively few episodes were available on iplayer.

I would say Friday night dinner but there were actually quite a few episodes of that that I thought were really crap which is a shame as I’m a huge fan!
