What tv shows did you get into years after they first aired?

Line of duty

Downton Abbey
Line of Duty
The Handmaids Tale - watched this year
Poldark - recent watch

I discovered Benidorm earleir this year.

Madge is so like one of my aunts it was excruciating.

The Shield which I highly recommend. Absolutely gripping from 1st to last.

The Wire. About 5 years late. Was so gutted when I finished it.

Breaking Bad
Happy Valley
Line of Duty
Shetland - about 10 years after it started!

Blue Lights, just started series 3 and loving it.

Big Bang Theory.

Greys Anatomy, didn't start watching until covid.

Recently I've started watching Victoria....not sure how old that is.

Ghosts
Derry Girls
Doc Martin
Gavin and Stacey (we only had to wait a few weeks to find out how it ended)

Scrubs.
I really want to watch Downtown Abbey, but it feels like too much commitment at this stage!

Same. I watched it for the first time a few weeks ago. Brilliant.

Also Race Around the World.

The US Office. Saw a bit of an episode while channel hopping and thought everything about it looked wrong (loved the English version). Then people told me it was brill. Stuck through a few episodes and after 1st series absolutely loved it.

The Walking Dead! Amazing and thousands of episodes. I binged the lot last year about 15 years after everyone else.

A really lovely Australian series called ‘A Place to Call
Home’.

The Blacklist-watching it with my teen and we love it!

The Detectorists - can watch it over and over.

Downton Abbey and Lucifer. Love them both.

Snap! Watched the whole lot about a year ago, for the first time.

24
The West Wing
Downton Abbey
Grays Anatomy not sure if this one counts as it’s still going 😂😂

Ted Lasso… fabulous
and Slow Horses .. epic

Have just started Brassic. DH and I are absolutely loving it.

Charmed - the original one which aired from 1998 to 2006, not the reprised version that started in 2018. I'm kind of its natural demographic, being San Franciscan and roughly the age of its oldest heroine (Pru). I think I avoided it for a long time thinking it was cheesy (and it is), but living in the UK and waking up to it on Channel 4 I've now watched just about every episode, I think.

Derek!! And started homelands just last night too!

Dallas

The Walking Dead.
Greys Anatomy.
The Handmaids Tale.
I’m currently on Series 4 of Bones.

Breaking Bad - I watched it during the first Covid lockdown.

Then of course Better Call Saul, which I consider to be the best TV series I have ever watched, including all the incredible British ones I'm so fond of.

So I'm glad I ventured into Breaking Bad years after everyone else.

Downton Abbey! My DM watched it and thought it was good so told me to watch it. I recorded it on our tv box but never got round to watching it then we moved house and lost the recordings. Watched it for the first time a few years ago and I’ve watched the whole lot multiple times plus all the films - it’s one of my comfort watching programmes now.

Foyle’s War - DH loves this and has them on DVD, I’d never seen them but love them too now.

And The Good Life, which is from the 70s but was rerun when I was early teens on Sundays around the same time as the Sunday soaps were on, I used to watch them with my nan.
