Allo Allo (1982-1992) (m.imdb.com)

Absolutely brilliant show. Everyone speaks English but with accents of the language they are speaking, show still holds up today

Mission Hill (1999-2000) (lemmy.world)

One of my absolute favourite shows from my childhood, sadly cancelled after 13 episodes. There have been rumours of a reboot but nothing confirmed for a while.

Red Dwarf (1988+) -- Smegging brilliant (lemmy.world)

Daria 1997-2002 (lemmy.world)

The sarcastic title character, shows a depiction of teen angst, family life, relationships, and other social issues still strike a remarkable chord with the modern world.

Watching The Wire for the second time after a year (lemmy.world)

And oh god, there’s so much stuff I hadn’t noticed the first time around, and a few foreshadows that send shivers down my spine. It’s truly an amazing show....
