Seriously? Go and read the books to see what a saccharine travesty the show was.

Father Ted.

Why oh why can't people restrict themselves to just the one?

Greenteandchives · 10/05/2019 21:24

Treasure Hunt with Annika Rice, Kenneth Kendal and Wincey Willis. And maps. .

shivermetimbers77 · 10/05/2019 21:26

Six Feet Under. (Never found anything to beat it)

Lolly86 · 10/05/2019 21:27

Too many to pick but some that i have rewatched and loved recently are Boardwalk Empire and Extras

Kath & Kim

Bobcut · 10/05/2019 21:34

Game of thrones first

Then
Greys anatomy, prison break

ValleyoftheHorses · 10/05/2019 21:36

Another vote for West Wing

TigerCubScout · 10/05/2019 23:09

Kath and Kim. (The original Australian version) - there's another version??

I'd go for The Haidmaid's Tale - most gripping series I've seen.

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 12/05/2019 09:36

Always considered myself a bit of a TV buff but there are many series on here that I've never watched (the shame):

GoT
West Wing
Breaking Bad
Greys Anatomy

Think it's because I tend to watch British/European over US shows.

Crinkle77 · 12/05/2019 14:20

Oh my goodness not sure I could choose. There has been so much good stuff over the years. Another poster has already said this but the first series of The Handmaids Tale was amazing. The tension was just unbearable but I felt that season 2 was a let down. Just hoping series 3 gets back to its original brilliance.

TanteRose · 12/05/2019 14:22

Six Feet Under

nothing comes close...

DGRossetti · 12/05/2019 17:38

71 posts and no "I, Claudius" ?

Elizabeth R. ?

Otherwise it's hard to disagree with the majority ...

The Wire,
The Sopranos.
The Shield,
Mad Men,
Breaking Bad

generally shows where the characters have time to become real and fleshed out and the storylines aren't "Hollywoodised" ???

RedForShort · 12/05/2019 17:42

The Littlest Hobo

mumderland · 12/05/2019 17:43
