Not sure about a top 10 but The Sopranos is undoubtedly numbrr 1 for me.

Top Boy , Line of Duty and Ozark also tremendous.

Never got the hype with Breaking Bad and never seen The Wire.

Breaking bad is one of my top shows. I've tried to watch Sopranos a couple of times but just can't get into it...

No order:

Twin Peaks
Breaking Bad
The Shield
Sons of Anarchy
Frasier
Only Fools and Horses
Curb Your Enthusiasm
The Saint
Prisoner Cell Block H
The Simpsons (nothing recent)

I know mate, sure I've seen you say about it before.
A couple of times I went to start to it but never got past 'ross' as the CO before losing interest (I'll admit I had a few drinks and was late when id tried to watch before). Eventually powered through the first episode and that was that. Think I still have 3 or 4 to fonwhixh will be finished tonight. It's very good.

Some well known famous actors throughout as you've probably noticed.

1 Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister
2 The Thick Of It
3 The Larry Sanders Show
4 Father Ted
5 The Sopranos
6 Band of Brothers
7 True Detective
8 The West Wing
9 Stranger Things
10 Gomorrah

Edit -I want to drop something for Hill Street Blues but not sure what, probably True Detective.

Second edit -Aargh! Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy needs to be in -Gomorrah or Stranger Things could be at risk!

I forgot aboiut Masterchef Australia! Well done DH1875. That's Gomorrah and Stranger Things relegated barring a legal appeal and/or reconstruction.

I watched it without subtitles okay....

Me too. My advice is persevere with it. Was half way through the 2nd series not really getting it then it just clicked and I couldn't turn it off.

It's fantastic on a 2nd watch as well.

It's a bit weird to start with because there isn't really a main character to attach to.

The wire is great, ive never even considered watching it with subtitles. I've re watched it a few times and i wonder how the younger generation would take to it when you think what they do with the technology of the time compared to now. From their perspective, has it aged well?
The sopranos I've seen multiple times but must admit, if you try and binge it, by the last couple of season it does kinda feel a bit samey like the last few series doesn't bring much new material, but I guess when you've seen it a few times most shows may feel like that. I still love ending as much of a debate as that can bring, I appreciate it as being up their with the best.

It's hard to out a list as I often forget how good things are u til I re watch (sometimes the opposite, I think a show is great then re watch and change my opinion).

GOT was great, I was hooked and loved it. But I'd never re watch it based on how disappointed I was with the last few series (minus a few episodes)
Sons of anarchy I enjoyed, but when I think abxk and if re watch I don't think I would think it was as good.
Same with Dexter.
Breaking bad I could watch over and over.
Better call Saul is up their (I still got last 5 or so episodes of this season to go, I'll save that for a binge next week or so)
Not sure if you can class as a series but I do still enjoy the original Man Vs Food episodes, and a lot of the Ramsey kitchen nightmare. I call them easy viewings I can stick on during the day. Pawn stars and Charlie sheen 2 and a half men also fall into that.

Almost done with Band of brothers and I'm sure this will be added to my list of shows.

[frazeHFC]

Band of Brothers
The Wire
The Sopranos
24
Line of Duty
Dexter
Lost
Gavin and Stacey
Spooks
Underbelly

A mixture of superb tv and a few shows I can watch over and over without getting bored. Still never bothered with Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad among other of the usual contenders for these lists. Definitely will at some point.

A little bit of something for everyone, mate. 😄

[Greentinted]

Would go for:
Sopranos
Breaking Bad
The Bill
Our Friends in the North
Looking After Jojo
Spitting Image
Coronation Street
Minder
Line of Duty
The Sweeney

Being fair, there’s lots of quality TV I’ve yet to see and I dare say the likes of The Wire, Sons of Anarchy, etc would make my list when I get round to seeing them. The above list were the first 10 that popped into my head as progs that I wouldn’t miss.

They should show the Robinson Crusoe series that aired in the sixties. It was a French production I think. Used to be on when we got home from school.

Lovely music and the sound of waves crashing on the beach - inevitably!

The production used a lot of flashbacks to Crusoe's life.

I, Claudius
The World at War
Life on Earth
Tinker Tailor
Fawlty Towers
The Boys from the Blackstuff
The Office (UK)
Band of Brothers
Deadwood
The Wire

Tinker Tailor was the 70s series which starred Alec Guinness I take it? Think there was an adaptation of another of Le Carre's 'Smiley' novels made in the 70s, too? Would love to see them as I enjoyed all the novels - wonder if they're available to watch anywhere.
