TV series that stay with you

I often find a tv series will completely suck me and remembering it takes me back to that point in my life.

Friends - growing up in the 90s as a teenager.

Lost - it began as DH and I got married and ended literally on the day we completed our family. Annoyed about the ending but it signifies such an important time for us and we were addicted as a couple.

Dexter - mat leave, again the end devastated me :(

Just started Breaking Bad (no spoilers please) and know this will be another one. Well into Walking Dead too, it's the only thing we sit down together to watch nowadays.

I watched Dexter in my maternity leave before DS was born. Some very hard scenes to watch especially when pregnant! Sad

Gileswithachainsaw · 16/02/2015 14:45

Oh and damsons Creek.

so lovely to see Jen's transformation from defiant wild child to loving friend and grand daughter and then to a loving mother.

then they killed her off. why?? Sad

Gileswithachainsaw · 16/02/2015 14:45

Dawson s Creek

CiderwithBuda · 16/02/2015 14:47

We have just finished watching The West Wing and I am bereft! I loved it and keep thinking about it and all the characters and wondering what happened to them all next. I miss them. Completely daft! Blush

Loved ER. And Friends.

I have only watched a few episodes of Grays Anatomy - my sis says she is envious of me having all of it in front of me.

thatsnotevenaword did you like the end of Dexter, I felt really let down by his choices.

For me it's usually comedies.

Friends, cheers, mork and mindy, spin city all remind me of Friday evenings as a kid.

QI reminds me of evenings in with babies nursing.

Tropicalchancer · 16/02/2015 15:16

Survivors! Stayed with me since and I often wonder about it as a potential reality

JuniperTisane · 16/02/2015 15:18

Tenko. Used to watch it with my granny. It all went over my head as a 6yr old though.

threepiecesuite · 16/02/2015 15:21

Bottom - used to watch it with my brother when our parents went to the pub, knew all the lines, loved it. So sad when Rik Mayall passed.

Cold Feet - I was very invested in the characters.

And of course, Breaking Bad. DH and I would watch 3 episodes a night and talk of nothing else. So brilliant, so clever.

rumbleinthejungle · 16/02/2015 15:27

Our Friends in the North. Had a massive impact on me. I can highly recommend it.

APotNoodleandaTommy · 16/02/2015 15:27

Cracker

TheLibraryIsOpen · 16/02/2015 15:29

I loved Your Cheating Heart in the 80s with Tilda Swinton and Robbie Coltrane. Would love to watch it again but can't find it anywhere.

RedCrayons · 16/02/2015 15:32

Lost was probably the first programme DH and I both loved, I have really fond memories of watching that together.

Although its a kids show And i watched it as a grown up, i really loved As If.

WellTidy · 16/02/2015 15:34

Marion and Geoff - I loved it. I found a lot of it very poignant.

Roger and Val Have Just Got In - again, very poignant. Amazing writing. It is my favourite thing that Dawn French has ever done.

I absolutely love Homeland. I am so involved in the characters. Yet to watch Season 4 as I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD this Autumn.

thenightsky · 16/02/2015 15:36

30-something.

Cold Feet.

Friends and X Files transporte back to uni days.

Dawsons Creek. Watched it at a difficult time in my life when I wished I could turn back time to being a teenager again and have someone who adored me. I still watch my favourite episodes now if I'm feeling low, it's like putting on comfy clothes and shutting the curtains.

ThatsNotEvenAWord · 16/02/2015 15:48

Hannah No, I felt the series really lost its way once the love interest was introduced, kinda wanted to see it through to the end but was disappointed by it. Ooh I miss having a good boxset to work through with DH!

StockingFullOfCoal · 16/02/2015 15:50

Supernatural - started watching aged 18 and its still my favourite show.

Dexter - S4 finale when I was heavily pregnant - I was an absolute sobbing mess! I'm loving the popularity of it now its on Netflix.

StockingFullOfCoal · 16/02/2015 15:50

Survivors - BBC Angry how dare you leave it like that!

Angelto5 · 16/02/2015 16:12

Buffy the vampire slayer-best ending ever!

Angel-good series but rubbish ending.

My so called life. Brilliant teenage angst prog with Claire Danes & the gorgeous jared Leto.

X files
