Blackadder serves as butler to the foppish numskull Prince George amidst the fads and crazes of the time.This historical comedy stars a gloriously malicious Rowan Atkison as Blackadder, who insults and schemes his way through different eras of British history. Witty, intelligent and a joy for anglophiles, historybuffs and anyone who likes to have a good laugh.
- StarsChris O'DowdRichard AyoadeKatherine ParkinsonThe comedic misadventures of Roy, Moss and their grifting supervisor Jen, a rag-tag team of IT support workers at a large corporation headed by a hotheaded yuppie.IT crowd is everything The Big Bang Theory tries and continually fails to be. Funny, satirical without the mean streak, nerdy.
- StarsRichard AyoadeMatt BerryMatthew HolnessThis parody series is an unearthed 80s horror/drama, complete with poor production values, awful dialogue and hilarious violence. The series is set in a Hospital in Romford, which is situated over the gates of Hell.The Darkplace Hospital lies above the gate to Hell, which leads to Scottish ghosts infesting the place and patients frequently turning into broccoli. Unbelievably ludicrous and utterly bonkers, this show is still an intelligent satire of campy 80s TV.
- CreatorJesse ArmstrongSam BainStarsZawe AshtonGreg McHughKimberley NixonA comedy that follows a group of six students about to embark on the most exciting period of their lives so far, university.A show about 6 students who deal with sharing their living space and their social life.

The 80s nostalgia and the very likeable cast truly hit home. An instant classic.
- CreatorSteven KnightStarsCillian MurphyPaul AndersonSophie RundleA gangster family epic set in 1900s England, centering on a gang who sew razor blades in the peaks of their caps, and their fierce boss Tommy Shelby.Highly stylized and distinctly cool looking, this show just swaggers over your screen with its well-dressed gangsters and crooks. Binge-watching worthy.
- CreatorBill LawrenceStarsZach BraffDonald FaisonSarah ChalkeIn the unreal world of Sacred Heart Hospital, intern John "J.D." Dorian learns the ways of medicine, friendship and life.Scrubs bests all the other hospital shows by toning down the drama and going for the laughs. Visually inventive and amazingly cast, this is a feel-good show, if ever there was one. All the emotional moments are earned and believable, a true feat!
- CreatorLinwood BoomerMichael GloubermanGary MurphyStarsFrankie MunizBryan CranstonJustin BerfieldA gifted young teen tries to survive life with his dimwitted, dysfunctional family.The most dysfunctional family on TV and they don't even have a name! Lois and Hal raise their chaotic sons in a sort of anarchic and well-intentioned tyranny. This show is outrageously funny, hard not to love.
- CreatorAmy Sherman-PalladinoStarsLauren GrahamAlexis BledelKeiko AgenaA dramedy centering around the relationship between a thirtysomething single mother and her teen daughter living in Stars Hollow, Connecticut.You will wish to live in the idealised town of the Gilmore Girls, where every season has a colourful celebration and all the citizens are loveably quirky. This show manages to be whimsical and too-good-to-be-true, but still delivers highly emotional and character driven moments.
- CreatorDavid CraneMarta KauffmanStarsJennifer AnistonCourteney CoxLisa KudrowFollows the personal and professional lives of six twenty to thirty year-old friends living in the Manhattan borough of New York City.This show has accompanied and inspired a whole generation. Influential. Iconic.
- CreatorJ.J. AbramsStarsJennifer GarnerRon RifkinCarl LumblySydney Bristow is an international spy recruited out of college, trained for espionage and self-defense.While this show dropped in quality in later seasons, I loved the beginning, where college student Sydney has to hide her secret life as a double agent for the CIA. So suspenseful! You will route for the good guys, bite your nails, what more do you want?
- StarsJohn SimmDavid MorrisseyKelly MacdonaldJournalists uncover a government conspiracy when a young politician's assistant and mistress is killed.A show about investigative journalism and political corruption. I couldn't stop watching this highly strung political thriller. Superbly acted and perfectly written series that is very satisfying to watch through.
- CreatorHiromu ArakawaStarsKent WilliamsIemasa KayumiMatthew LeonhartTwo brothers search for a Philosopher's Stone after an attempt to revive their deceased mother goes awry and leaves them in damaged physical forms.Arguably one of the best-written animes ever, FMAB is a wild ride from start to finish. The amazing characters and the incredible journeys they go on will lure you in to the point where you will probably not know what to do with yourself after you finish this.
- CreatorHideaki AnnoStarsMegumi OgataMegumi HayashibaraKotono MitsuishiA teenage boy finds himself recruited as a member of an elite team of pilots by his father.The 26 episodes of NGE are a chore to go through, make no mistake. This is not always enjoyable, you will not feel good about this or yourself while watching it. But you will have never seen anything like it before and will probably not ever see anything like it again.
- CreatorChris ChibnallStarsDavid TennantOlivia ColmanJodie WhittakerThe murder of a young boy in a small coastal town brings a media frenzy, which threatens to tear the community apart.This small town crime show is as much an intimate character portrait as it is a classically told whodunit. Shot beautifully at the Dorset coast and acted to perfection by David Tennant and Olivia Coleman, Broadchurch is an excellent watch.
- CreatorAbi MorganStarsStellan SkarsgårdNicola WalkerAdeel AkhtarJohn River is a brilliant police inspector whose genius lies side-by-side with the fragility of his mind. He is a man haunted by the murder victims whose cases he must lay to rest.This miniseries about a London detective who tries to solve the murder of his partner came as a surprise to me. On paper the story might not sound special, but Stellan Skarsgard's portrayal of the tormented detective is nothing short of heartbreaking perfection.
- CreatorBryan FullerStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasExplores the early relationship between renowned psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter and a young FBI criminal profiler who is haunted by his ability to empathize with serial killers.Seldom has there been a more alluring and glossy-looking show about a serial killer. The cinematography of Hannibal is a work of art and Mads Mikkelsen knocks it out of the park as suave and dangerous Dr. Lecter.
- CreatorMichael Dante DiMartinoBryan KonietzkoStarsDee Bradley BakerZach Tyler EisenMae WhitmanIn a war-torn world of elemental powers, a young boy reawakens to undertake a dangerous mystic quest to fulfill his destiny as the Avatar, and bring peace to the world.This brilliantly told cartoon is as much a fun adventure as it is a profoundly humanist tale about family, friendship, belonging and war. One of the most intelligent and sophisticated cartoons ever produced.
- CreatorMichael Dante DiMartinoBryan KonietzkoStarsJanet VarneyP.J. ByrneDavid FaustinoAvatar Korra fights to keep Republic City safe from the evil forces of both the physical and spiritual worlds.As a sequel to Avatar, Korra could have easily been a disaster. But this more grown up and faster paced follow-up delivers almost throughout its whole run. Great characters and intelligent plotlines will keep viewers in their seats until the end.
- CreatorSydney NewmanStarsJodie WhittakerPeter CapaldiPearl MackieThe further adventures in time and space of the alien adventurer known as the Doctor and his companions from planet Earth.I myself am a fan of the Russel T Davies era, with the great, great David Tennant as the Doctor. I still enjoyed the later seasons, but not as much.
- CreatorJoss WhedonStarsNathan FillionGina TorresAlan TudykFive hundred years in the future, a renegade crew aboard a small spacecraft tries to survive as they travel the unknown parts of the galaxy and evade warring factions as well as authority agents out to get them.
- CreatorAlex HirschStarsJason RitterAlex HirschKristen SchaalTwin siblings Dipper and Mabel Pines spend the summer at their great-uncle's tourist trap in the enigmatic Gravity Falls, Oregon.A colourful take on fairytale, fantasy and mystery tropes.

- CreatorKatie KrentzPatrick McHaleStarsElijah WoodCollin DeanMelanie LynskeyTwo brothers find themselves lost in a mysterious land and try to find their way home.A deeply melancholic and philosophical tale about two brothers, lost in the woods. This show has a very distinct look and plays with fairytale imagery. Best watched in one go and then thought about for several hours.
