Mine is definitely the Walking Dead

I'm sliding this one in although it finished in 2011. I'm currently watching Spooks which Drama are rerunning from the beginning. I'd forgotten what a brilliant series it was. Incredibly complicated plots and such good performances from the cast.

To come properly into the last 10 years I would put Wolf Hall at the top of my list. I thought it was pretty much perfect.

I watched all of the first series of Breaking Bad, too.

I love Still Game, too.
I hadn't heard of it until I went to Scotland, but I love that dour humour. smile

If I had to pick just one, it would be Game of Thrones. We've just started rewatching it. Everytime - it just takes my breath away.

Others that have been up there for me over the last 10 years

Sherlock
Peaky Blinders
Ripper Street
Endeavour
Call The Midwife
Britannia
The Vikings
This is England
The A Word
Chernobyl
A Very English Scandal
Broken
Time
Frankenstein Chronicals
Downton Abbey

Currently very much enjoying season 4 of Fargo.

Perhaps I should give Fargo Season 4 another chance then. I gave up after episode 3.

A very interesting selection

Detectorists for me too, and Unforgotten.

henetha Tue 24-Aug-21 10:30:50

For me, Breaking Bad is head and shoulders above every other programme, with possibly the exception of the spin-off, Better Call Saul. I also love Schitt's Creek. And The Americans.
On terrestial, all the series of Line of Duty have been fantastic.

travelsafar Tue 24-Aug-21 09:06:50

Downton Abbey, Victoria, Behind closed doors the gp series. Yorkshire Farm I could go on!!! Lol.

Froglady Tue 24-Aug-21 08:57:39

Game of Thrones.

Blondiescot Tue 24-Aug-21 08:52:51

Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad.

MawBe Tue 24-Aug-21 08:51:52

hmm
Pretty dire I thought - but to be fair I only watched one episode to see you-know-who!
I loved serials like Jewel In The Crown, also enjoyed Downton Abbey, The West Wing - and way back, E.R.
When the children were small, my particular favourite was “Bagpuss”

Forden24 Tue 24-Aug-21 08:41:42

Suits, The first 6 seasons are really fascinating. I watched the whole season during one day

dolphindaisy Sat 14-Aug-21 20:26:52

Some great dramas but not sure of the timeline:

Killing Eve
Sherlock
The Night Manager
The Good Wife
The Good Fight
Broken
Madmen
Line of Duty

But my favourite has to be the Australian cartoon Bluey - happy memories of watching it in Melbourne with my twin DGDs - they'll probably be watching Breaking Bad by the time I see them again!
