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

I loved Deutschland 83 too. Never found anyone else who's watched it!

ER

Homeland

Luther

This is England

Aaah, yes, Detectorists makes me so happy.

I only gave it a go after seeing it mentioned a few times on a MN thread very similar to this one. So glad I did.

Oh goodness, how could I forget This is England?! Possibly the most moving TV I've seen.

@AnneLovesGilbert you're not alone, I enjoyed Orphan Black too. It didn't make my top 5 though. Lead actress was amazing!

Breaking bad by a mile

If I had to pick one it would be Braquo

This is England, brilliant

Northern Exposure remains one of my favourites

For storyline and drama (strong Nordic noir theme here)
• Breaking Bad
• The Last of Us
• Stranger Things
• Forbrydelsen
• Fortitude
• The Terror
• Being Human
• The Chestnut Man

And if I just want a guaranteed giggle:
• Bottom
• Peep Show
• I’m Alan Partridge
• Only Fools and Horses

Yes to Jakes Progress! It was really creepy in parts wasn't it. That little boy was a terrific actor too.

Top 5 (in that there's pretty much no bad seasons):

The Americans
Breaking Bad
Buffy
Firefly
The Vampire Diaries

Notable runner ups (with stand-out seasons, but also may be some awful ones!):

The Handmaid's Tale
Line of Duty
Hannibal

My all time favourite is always going to be Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Also love Dexter, Frasier and Motherland. Can I add Say Yes To The Dress Too? 🤣🤣
