Best TV series ever?

[mightyquin]

Northern Exposure.........loved that show and I found a video of series one in a junk shop recently!

The BBC Merlin series is pretty excellent, series 4 is on its way!

Loved Cheers

but more recently Green Wing - completely off the wall way of doing comedy.

The Wire
Spiral
The Killing (episodes 4 - 16 on iplayer at the moment)
My Name is Earl

I am watching Twin Peaks at the moment. Haven't seen it for well over a decade. I think it is very high quality, then again I really like David Lynch's work.

Father Ted, definitely.

Galactica? Apart from the last series or so, yeah.

24? The first couple had something, once it degenerated into the cliffhanger a minute pace of later series it became self-parodic and so silly it was hard to suspend disbelief.

Being Human I love - dark, clever and funny enough to justify the existence of BBC Three. Just.

The Wire and The Sopranos, again, agreed 100%.

Lee and Herring's "Fist of Fun" anyone? I loved that show.

+1 fore Being Human. Northern Exposure was one of my recent favourites. Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister are scary classics - still true in many respects. Father Ted is without equal, IMHO.

As a left-field suggestion, I was always a big fan of (All Quiet on the) Preston Front.
