That Rolling Stone list is a bit all over the shop. UK Office so much better than US. Also Southpark should be much higher than it is.

Not many would know but BBC had a program called Early Doors back in the early 2000's which only went for 2 series. Written by some of the writers from the Royle Family.

A show I can watch multiple times and still love.
 
Phoenix (season one)
Fawlty Towers
Ray Donovan
Crime Story (only ran for two seasons for some reason)
The Thunderbirds
The Sullivans
The Paul Hogan Show
Get Smart
Homeland
Law and Order (original)

Line of Duty
Seinfeld
The Wire (first four seasons only)
The Sweeney
The Professionals
Wild Side
Happy Days
Prisoner
Keeping Up Appearances
Braquo



As good as the Sopranos was I hated every character in the show, at the end when he's sitting there with the family having Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner, I was really hoping a bomb would go off and kill the whole family.

There will be a show or three that I've forgotten, I had to keep updating this one as I was remembering other shows.

Everyone has their own idea and I know Rolling Stone will make some 'grievous errors' according to many, but I do appreciate the inclusion of Bojack Horseman in the list (#41). I never thought a whimsical show about a talking horse in Hollywood would be that soul-searching, philosophical and just downright brutal at times about loss, depression and addiction. Plotlines about clown dentists and spaghetti strainers co-exist with plotlines about intergenerational trauma and sexual assault. Some things characters have said and done stayed with me long after the show ended.

When people ask me what's the best TV series Netflix has made, this is the answer.
