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

McMafia was a great series and completely underrated.
Endeavour was fantastic except for the last two series.
I was gutted to see the West Wing finish.
I loved Downton Abbey.

Agree with Schitts Creek. The last episode was glorious. Same with Friday Night Dinner.

I’d like to say The West Wing but the rewrites after Leo died did have the show go off the boil a bit. But bloody outstanding series.
