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

Sopranos - possibly best tv series ever made. No contest

Peaky blinders started off excellent then after series 3 quickly became all about constant slo mo scenes and Arthur yelling "by order of the Peaky F*ing Blinders" every 2 minutes. Total style over substance which was a shame.

Slow Horses

Lessons in Chemistry

Kin surprised me at how good it was, a grower and actually each series just got better. Although ending of S1 a blatant Godfather copy but I'll forgive it for how great Amanda's hair always looked.

Oh and Ozark. Utterly brilliant if possibly the most stressful tv Ever. Must be followed up by an episode of either the excellent Brooklyn 99 or equally fabulous Shitts Creek.

We are currently binging Modern Family which I expected to hate but am growing to really enjoy

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 13/03/2024 13:25

God yes also Sherlock

The Molly and Sherlock kiss is so unbelievably sexy

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 13/03/2024 13:26
