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

The Wire

The Night Of was pretty much my favourite of all time!

@Hawkins0001 season 2 of dark angel was so bad but I looooved that show. I do wish I'd never read the bad stuff about the off screen relationship though.

I agree with the 1995 Pride and Prejudice.

Also The Detectorists

Guilt was pretty much perfect. Cast, plot, locations, music. Each series was 4 episode, no padding and dragging things out.

Girliefriendlikespuppies · 28/07/2023 18:39

Detectorists and Derry Girls are series I can watch over and over again and always enjoy them.

Frasier, a million times over. It's the sweetest, gentlest most comforting security blanket, it's got me through some incredibly tough times just having its soothing presence to zone out to. I must say watch it start to finish at least 2-3 times a year!!!!

Fleabag

TheCountessofLocksley · 28/07/2023 18:40

ITV's Poirot - so elegant and classically timeless

Godless, starring Lady Mary from Downton Abbey as a gun slinging prairie widow and Jeff Daniels as a psychopathic train robber.

Everything about it is 'chefs kiss', including the ending which pretty much seals off any further episodes.

Better Call Saul - best show ever from start to finish

My first thought too. DH and I have just started watching i again from the start. Every scene is <<chef's kiss>>
