It was a good show, although I suspect their was something more too it, when Danny and Stacey left, although I know officially it was schedule conflicts, but it seemed odd.

Anything by Victoria Wood (As seen on tv/dinnerladies/Housewife 49 etc)
I May Destroy You
Shameless (UK - early series)
The Office (UK)
Various period dramas (War & Peace, Pride & Prejudice, Persuasion etc)

So hard to choose....these are all dramas I'd rewatch now though there are many others I was utterly gripped by at the time they were first shown, like ER, This Life, lots of cop dramas but seem a bit dated now.
