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

I don't get the fascination with Schitts Creek, have tried getting into it twice but I just can't seem to. Only got 3 or so episodes in, is it worth giving it a bit longer?

Definitely. It's a slow burner to start but fabulous once you're into it. Three episodes definitely not enough

The detectors was perfection in every episode until we got to the very final Christmas special. I wished they'd not made it.

So many of these I agree with, but I'm really surprised to see no one mentioned Frankie and Grace. We loved this so much. I was so sad when it came to the end.

Waking the Dead - the interplay between Trevor Eve and Sue Johnston was great

The Last Kingdom!

I've watched the five series countless times, it's just the best!

Vikings and Vikings Valhalla are good too, still waiting for S3 of Vikings Valhalla.

The Last Kingdom is just the best thing ever to have been on tv.

Breaking Bad

Game of Thrones apart from the last episode, which was such a let down, but the rest was brilliant.

The first season of The Killings, the Scandi version, is the best thing I've watched.

I agree. It's perfection! The casting is spot on. Valhalla is also brilliant and I and half way through vikings.

Would like to watch Ted Lasso but can’t get it .Surprised it’s so popular considering it’s exclusive to Apple TV.

BeaRF75 · 13/03/2024 20:24

Brideshead Revisited, without a doubt.
If you want more modern, Schitt's Creek.

Malcolm in the Middle.

I loved that show. I like Young Sheldon and prefer it to The Big Bang Theory, but Malcolm in the Middle was the original brainy kid in a normal family show. I'll have to get a Disney trial and watch it with DD.
