Favourite TV shows
Just a list of what I think are the best TV shows... shows that I can rewatch again time and again and they remain entertaining. Shows that contain subtle pieces of information that are picked up on each rewatch. Show that I think have a little bit more substance and meaning, and aren't based in cheap thrills and cliffhangers to keep the audience entertained.
And some are just shows I think are funny.
