What’s the best TV Series you’ve watched in the last 5 years?

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

For me it’s the German Series Dark on Netflix and the American series 1883 which is Paramount + but has now turned up on Netflix.

Dark which was about time travel really made you think and 1883 about Pioneer life/Cowboys was just quietly beautiful

I did t think I would like it at all but have just watched all series of Motherland and loved it.
I like Scandi crime and love The Sandhamm Murders on Prime ( though the books are better I think)

Based on shows that have been released in the past 5 years:

The Long Shadow- about the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper. It's available on ITV Hub, was excellent and heartbreaking.

Mindhunter on Netflix. Brilliant and I'm still gutted it got cancelled.

Power- I think I can squeeze this in as the final season aired 5 years ago! Has some great spin-offs now too.

i loved the Detectorists. Such a wholesome show, I blitzed through it. Dark is incredible, I agree!

Handmaids tale
Fleabag
Newsroom
The west wing (another Aaron Sorkin)

The OP said ‘watched’ in the last five years, rather than released in the last five years, and I’m sure a lot of people end up watching things a couple of years after they’re first available.

I May Destroy You
Sticks and Stones
Both of which I think were on in 2020 so just within 5 years. Very well made, seemed so real I thought.

Same! I loved it.

Out of curiosity which episode was that as my Step sisters husband was the director for 12 episodes

Succession
The Bureau (think the last series was 2020 so it just scrapes in)

• Sorry, that was supposed to be a completely separate post!

Outlander. Set off a years long obsession that has only just faded. My eldest's conception was thanks to it!

Inside Man on Netflix with David Tennant is only 4 episodes but it’s bloody tremendous.

Happy Valley.

Outlander
Chernobyl
Line of duty
The Walking Dead
The last of Us
Black Mirror

Finished Julia recently absolutely loved it

Mindhunter - I'm sure I've read that they are going to make another series after all.

Another vote for Succession (also liked Slow Horses and Better Call Saul)

So much choice now but really most of what’s on TV is pretty dire and hardly worth watching!

Disclaimer was laughably awful! I remember The Guardian review saying “You’ll even hate the cat!”

Ooh - would be between Slow Horses and Ted Lasso

Band of Brothers-its a lot older than 5 years but I re-watch it every few years. Absolutely love it.

Loved The Outlaws and Ludwig on BBC recently

I cant choose one really. All very different. Maybe some not quite within 5 years though.

Chernobyl
Dark
Severence
Slow Horses
Unforgotten (Discovered this later)
Years and Years

For something more gentle:
Detectorists
This Country
Gone Fishing with Mortimer and Whitehouse 😀

Yellowstone.
Ozark.
Succession.
Line of Duty.
Happy Valley.

Handmaids Tale
Ozark
Ted Lasso
Happy Valley
Slow Horses
