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

Line of duty

Have you watched Better Call Saul? It’s a great show and I enjoyed it more than Breaking Bad.

Currently watching Parenthood on Netflix. 😃

Succession.

Having seen some other classics (BB etc) I have come late to Succession but consider it probably the best TV series ever. Just starting S4.

It was my daughter (source of many of my best TV tips) who put me on to it,and she has been begging me to watch Better Call Saul for some time - i was put off by it apparently having a 'slow start' but that's going to be my next watch.

The Sopranos.

OH has always been interested in anything mob related and I was surprised he hadn't watched it before we met.

Currently on series 4 and just love it.

The Wire

A Really intelligent tv series for its time.

I did something similar
Although it was a couple of weeks after the last episode, binged all three series in a few days!

I'm currently watching Murder One from 1995 on STV app.

I vaguely remember it from when it first aired, I can't remember how it ended but it's very watchable despite how long ago it was made. Really enjoying it.

They also have Moonlighting on STV although I'm not sure if I'll watch that, wasn't a big fan when that was first on TV.

The Split. I caught part of The Split: Barcelona when it aired, and went back and watched the previous series.

Gavin & Stacey , I binge watched all series last year . Not watched it yet but I've got my eye on Poldark next .

Game of Thrones
Boardwalk Empire

Detectorists. I thought it would be boring when it came out. Started watching it and now think it might be my favourite show ever.

@Crushed23 I watched This Life when I was young and living like them in the 90s. At the time it seemed totally spot on about what it was like to be young then. I've tried to watch it again since and it's almost unbearable to think I was ever that bloody irresponsible and full of angst. If you liked This Life you might be interested in Capital City which was the This Life of the late 80s. Worth watching for the hair and clothes alone.

Loads! Gavin and Stacey, Life on Mars- both of which are watched regularly now! Watched Inspector Morse only this year - we live literally down the road from where Colin Dexter lived and even said hello to him many times at the bus stop, but never watched it until recently!
Also, just watching A Touch of Frost. I think it's safe to say, I spent much of the mid 90s- early 2000s taking advantage of any offer to babysit from my mum and went out as much as possible, therefore missing most of the TV that was around at the time!

Everything lol
Dexter
Criminal Minds
Happy Valley

We re-watched Moonlighting a couple of years ago. It was OK - funny enough, although it was hard to concentrate on Cybil Shepherd as she appeared to be filmed in soft focus a lot of the time! Ha ha!
I have found it quite enlightening re-watching shows I used to watch as a child/teenager, and seeing them through adult eyes. Even some of the comedies from the 1970s and 1980s have quite dark/sad parts when you look at them afresh.

The Handmaid Tale - Binged it in about a month the other week. What an amazing show!

West Wing. My partner loves it and he got the BluRay box set for Christmas a couple of years back so we're watching it together (well he's re-watching!)

Seinfeld
Detectorists
All the classic British sitcoms like Porridge and Dad’s Army and The Good Life
Didn’t start watching Strictly til 2020 but I love it now!

Oh and Sewing Bee

Started Downton Abbey recently. I watched Still Game years after it came out- hilarious 😂

Just started first time watching X Files

Sons of anarchy. I think I started it the first time in 2021.

Still Game is joyous ❤️

Young Sheldon
