I haven't watched TV in years; kids and my previous job really killed that.

There's SO much out there since I last picked up a remote, and I have a fucking huge backlog.

I'm open to anything, as long as it's well done.

Series I liked: Vikings, Norsemen (hysterical), The Americans, GoT, Man in the High Castle, Expanse, Spartacus (Batiartus is amazing)

I'm scratching the surface of Boardwalk Empire, but open to other rabbit holes.

  • Fawlty Towers
  • Yes Minister / Yes Prime Minister
  • Good Omens
  • Black Books
  • The Expanse
  • For All Mankind (feels like a precursor to the expanse)
  • The Boys
  • Firefly
  • Stargate / SG Atlantis
  • Castle
  • The Orville

Yes Minister / Yes Prime Minister

Then for the dramatic take - the BBC version of House of Cards / To Play the King / The Final Cut starring Ian Richardson (Not the US version with Kevin Spacey)

Black Books

...and then Father Ted and IT Crowd

Then I think you have to include the big HBO series: The Wire / The Sopranos / Game of Thrones / House of the Dragon.

I would add Coupling to the British tv list.

Oh yes. I loved that at the time. Haven't watched it in ages.

How did I forget about Farther Ted, that is such great show.

I haven't seen House of Cards, but I'll have to put it and To Play the King on my list.
