Cracking show. Gotta be in the mood for it, but when you are it really hums.

yeah it's my go to when I've had a shit day, instantly cheers me up and I reckon I've watched it a dozen times.

Re: What are you watching at the moment

The best thing the US version did was quickly veer away from being a direct remake of the UK series. The first few episodes were absolutely dire, trying to replicate the awkwardness of the British version.

Surprised Arrested Development is so low on that top 100 list. The first 2 seasons are some of the funniest TV ever created, imo. Gob is one of my favourite characters ever (I’ve made a huge mistake).

Yeah I agree with this. They first few episodes weren’t great at all and if no one watched beyond then I understand the comparison. But it really took off after that. I suppose if you’re partial to British humour then one will gravitate to the UK version.

And its *!*!*!*!ing diabolical that The Boys didn't make top 10 let alone top 100. It's nuts.

And wheres Justified. Im sure GVGjr agrees.

I think as Jeemak has pointed out, they're entirely different beasts, and I can appreciate both of them for their own qualities. I quite like the cringey 'close to home' awkwardness of the British version, but also love the US version for the different direction they took it in. Much more character building stuff and genuine, quality ha-ha stuff.

Agree. The cringey, awkward British humour grows old on me real fast. Becomes repetitive.

I'm watching re-runs again. There is something about bad guys being shot that appeals to me with no footy to watch

What was the best season? For me it was season two.

Season 3 for me, Quarles was a great 'villian' and his ending was pretty spectacular.

I'd have Mr Inbetween in my top 10 too.

I liked it but I didn't think it was that good. The Shield was a fantastic series. NYPD Blue was right up there as well.

Another two great series.

The last season was one of the best landings from a show ever. Years of buildup paid off. Amazing.

Justified is a criminal omission from that list, for sure.
