What is the best tv show you’ve ever watched

[Arseconono]

Just that really. It could be recent, could be donkeys years old.

A Few of mine are

• The Thick of It
• Ashes to Ashes
• line of duty
• 2012

Oh that takes me back to me late teens! Great shows

Band of Brothers
Chernobyl
It’s a Sin
Breaking Bad

That I come back to:
Brooklyn 99
House
Law & Order: SVU
The Big Bang Theory

Weird:
Twin Peaks
The Haunting of Hill House
Fall of the House of Usher

Also in my head:
Sherlock (BBC)
Being Human (UK version)
The Good Doctor

There was a drama series decades ago (90's?) called Jakes Progress with Robert Lindsay and Julie Walters, written by Alan Bleasdale. It was incredibly dark but I remember being captivated by it. I still think about all these years later.

More recent and a lot more lighthearted: Last Tango in Halifax. It's just perfect.

Our friends in the North
Pride and Prejudice
Life on Mars
Line of Duty

Same I resisted it for years, and then ended up watching it after realising it was the same person who wrote Happy Valley - and fell in love with it.

Dexter
Line of Duty
How to get away with murder

WeCrashed. On Apple TV+

ivd watched it all about 5 times now. Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto are both amazingly good. I love it.

Better Call Saul
Desperate Housewives
This is Us
Schitts Creek
Ted Lasso
Happy Valley
The Bear

Bodies by Jed Mercurio (of Line of Duty fame). It's one of those series I still find myself thinking about years later, and I rewatch it every so often.

Prime Suspect, enough said.

Fat Friends, oldie but goodie. I miss when shows used to be about ordinary people.

House - formulaic but fun, the characters are great and High Laurie is fantastic. Total comfort watch and I always go back to fave episodes. I'm off work right now with a broken bone and it's getting me through.

Brass Eye. Both “Drugs” and “Paedogeddon” were amazing examples of great satire which were clever, shockingly controversial, divisive to the point of being incendiary & incredibly funny. Rightly or wrongly, there is no way anything as radical could possibly be made today.

To watch over and over
West Wing - Sorkin
Newsroom -also by Sorkin.
Firefly
Castle
Veronica Mars
The Good Wife

Brilliant but not sure I could watch again for all different reasons
Black Mirror lots of episodes
Happy Valley
Last Tango in Halifax
Unforgotten
Unbelievable
Orphan Black season 1 (@AnneLovesGilbert I've seen it! Loved it)
Homeland

Succession
Line of Duty
Game of Thrones
The Sopranos
The Bear
Breaking Bad
Better call Saul

Yes also love 2012 !!!

I keep meaning to watch The Thick of It but don’t think I can do it until post election now 😂

Father Ted is hands down the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
Lucifer
Twin Peaks
The Young Ones

Tenko
Roots
I remember watching these in my teens

Detectorists
Gavin and Stacy
This Life
Boys from the black stuff

The Crown

Breaking Bad

My So-Called Life

Early episodes of The Simpsons (mainly the first three seasons)

Dynasty (the 80s original)

Beverly Hills 90210 (original)

Slow Horses..

Haha I don’t blame you. For someone watching for the first time, I’d say start at series three (you don’t need to have seen those before it).

Desperate Housewives. Best show to ever exist

Ooh, so many good reminders. Nice thread.

The Wire
Deadwood

Auf Weidershen Pet

Dark.
