Tv series that stuck with you

[SecretLifeOfTeachers]

I was watching an old episode of gogglebox - they were watching the final episode of Its a Sin and I instantly started tearing up. I remember when I watched it I couldn’t stop crying for hours - the scene where the main character is in hospital and tells his mum, he just looks like a scared boy. I thought it was a fantastic series but il never watch it again.
Is there a scene in a series that just sticks in your head and that emotion comes straight back as soon as you think about it?

It's my comfort TV. Saw me through school, college, university, break ups, surgery...

I've seen there may be a remake and I'm hopefully because well the best person to redo Buffy is Buffy!

Bad Girls

some shows from the 90’s, The Leaving of Liverpool. That last scene with the kids running and Working Class Hero playing.

Warrior, when the traumatised soldier confronts a little girl having a tantrum in the supermarket

Definitely agree about that BlackAdder episode.

London's Burning

Juliet Bravo - watched this in the 80s as a young girl desperately wanting to be a policewoman one day.

Spiral, one of my favourite series ever. Also Kingdom Hospital. Reminded of it (and not in a good way) every time I have to navigate my way round the ground floor of Doncaster Royal Infirmary 😱

Totally agree. I studied thd book for A Level English and hated it. It just seemed completely ridiculous and I was like as if that would ever happen. But if you look to the US these days you can see how it could happen. But absolutely loved the series and it impacted me in a way no tv show ever has before. Perhaps now and older and wiser I finally got it.

The Wire. The deaths of some of the characters hit me so hard.

Agree, especially the first couple of series. Superb acting too.

The Wire
West Wing
House of Cards
Sopranos
The Office
AfterLife

I've heard the rumour, but it does sound very early days - and I've not been super-impressed with any recent remakes of anything really, so I don't want to get too excited... but then it's the possibility of Buffy with SMG reprising the role so it's very hard not to be too excited!!

I don't remember being particularly entranced when I watched it as a teenager (I'm the same age as Buffy :) ), and I definitely rolled my eyes at the idea of 'Buffy Studies', but then watched it again in my thirties and was taken aback at how well done it is. And I now completely understand why Buffy Studies is a respectable university option!

Holding On. It followed rille living in London in the1990s. I don’t think it was ever repeated.

It's A Sin - the death of Colin . He was such an innocent

Inside No9 - such amazing writing , I was gutted when the last series finished

Between The Lines , from the early 90s . It was gritty and no-one looked out for anyone but themselves .

The Virtues. The finest drama with the finest female character.

Came here to say this

That was utterly heartbreaking. I can still see Hawkeye on the bus so clearly.

Prime Suspect
Cracker

Sybil Crawley Branson dying from pre-eclampsia when giving birth in "Downton Abbey".

My mother had pre-eclampsia when she gave birth to me. She survived. I survived. I am so grateful.

Rain Dogs with Daisy May Cooper. Equal parts funny and depressing.

The Driver - a mini series on BBC in 2014. David Morrissey was brilliant in it.

The Bear

Schitts Creek and Ted Lasso

Travelers

Currently watching Severance.

The Bridge

It's a Sin, Big Boys

Leftovers.

...

So many here that have been mentioned.
Especially Roots & Mash.
The Mash theme tune was beautiful, takes me right back, watching with mum & dad 🥹

House of Cards with Ian Richardson.

You might say so. I couldn’t possibly comment.

The javelin one?

Omg the javelin one and the hair in the pool one are the two that immediately come to mind for me too - we are all scarred!
