Greatest (Recent) TV Series [Top 35]
The greatest/best TV series, since 1999, IMO. Mainly comedies but a few drama's thrown in as well. This list doesn't include shows such as documentaries (Planet Earth, Frozen Planet, Life, Ray Mears, Bear Grylls).
I highly recommend you watch any of these that you haven't yet seen. :)
There are a few shows that'd probably make it onto the list but I haven't watched yet, such as:
The Wire, The Sopranos, Lost, Mad Men, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, Game of Thrones, Chuck, 24, Black Adder, Father Ted, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Boardwalk Empire.
Honorable Mentions:
Proving Ground, Oz, Kenny Vs Spenny, The Office, Green Wing and Black Books.
