For me it’s BBC’s 1995 Pride and Prejudice. Absolute perfection, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Agree. Also the Miss Marple from the 80s (Joan Hickson).

bananabreadbatshit · 28/07/2023 18:26

Sopranos

GoodVibesHere · 28/07/2023 18:26

For me it's Only Fools and Horses. Every episode has laughs throughout, and the characters are so likeable.

mum2jakie · 28/07/2023 18:27

Better Call Saul - best show ever from start to finish

rubyslippers · 28/07/2023 18:28

Sopranos
Mad Men
Breaking Bad

Happy Valley was like TV heroin. Also Line of Duty

Deadringer · 28/07/2023 18:28

I agree op, it's fabulous. I think Frasiar is pretty perfect too, and the US office, up until Micheal Scott leaves.

Wearegoingtoneedabiggerboat · 28/07/2023 18:29

Poldark, only fools and horses, blackadder all of the series. The first 2 series of the missing.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 28/07/2023 18:29

MASH was amazing

FootSoreandFamcyFree · 28/07/2023 18:30

Brothers and sisters.
I also love greys anatomy but it does have some less than perfect seasons.

daisychaindays · 28/07/2023 18:30

So many great shows suggested here but Only Fools and Horses is probably my favourite

Tulips2507 · 28/07/2023 18:31

Fawlty towers
Schitts Creek

Can just watch them over and over and still funny. Agree about only fools and horses too.

PerrinAybara · 28/07/2023 18:32

Ghosts
Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister

Hawkins0001 · 28/07/2023 18:32

La femme Nikita for the realism of parts of the intelligence world.

Dark Angel for genetics

Relic Hunter for archaeology

Sliders for parallel universes

Add Breaking Bad and Prison Break to that and it's TV heroin and coke rolled into one 🤣

ChillysWaterBottle · 28/07/2023 18:33

The Thick Of It is perfect imo. Every episode is so beautifully written and acted. I can watch it again and again and it never stops being funny.

WWPPSLKD · 28/07/2023 18:33

Drews · 28/07/2023 18:29

West Wing
ER

Oh these are great choices, except I struggle to watch ER when John Stamos is on it now so my recent rewatch was abandoned. Despicable man.

The west wing does have some bad seasons but I love it.

Also yes OP P&P is wonderful.

Fringe and Dollhouse. 11.22.63 maybe.

Dacadactyl · 28/07/2023 18:34

Ozark and Breaking Bad
