Discovering a series years after!

Has anyone been late, as in very late, to the party with a series? Something it turns out was a phenomenon in its time.
I've just discovered Torchwood in the last week! Circa 18 years after it initially aired! I mean I knew it existed, knew it was Dr Who related, but beyond that wasn't hugely interested at the time. I was so busy with life back then, and also didn't have a television for a while (trying to read, craft etc more).
I think the new series of Dr Who kind of put me in the mood for some sci-fi or fantasy, and browsing iPlayer the other day, I came across it.
I was looking for some MN threads on it, and they mostly, if not totally, date back to the noughties! I'm so late to the party. In fact I think everyone's gone home, got changed out of their party clothes and the glasses cleared away - years ago! So, here I am having a party of one! Loving it though.
Anyone else? Telly, films or even literature you've discovered years later?!

I love Series 1 & 2 of Torchwood, but Series 3 (Children of the Earth) was utterly incredible. It's one of the best things I've ever watched ever. It is harrowing and does stay with you, especially if you aren't good with bad things happening to kids, but honestly, it's so worth watching because it's so brilliant.

Series Four (Miracle Day) was bad.

Thank you for this. I've moved onto series 2 now. Absolutely loving it. Feels like it couldn't be topped!
But, loads of the reviews agree with you that series 3 is the best. I'm very nervous about watching it, due to the subject matter. I'll get to the end of the one I'm on now, and see how brave I'm feeling!
