TV shows that I consider to be worth watching the whole way through, from start to finish:

Buffy (obviously)
Angel
Farscape
Stargate SG1
The West Wing
The Good Place
How I Met Your Mother (with the exception of the last 10 minutes)
Frasier
Elementary
Leverage

...and that's really it. I expected there to be a few more – but despite loving a tonne of other shows, I usually love them for only a few seasons, and then I leave.



Honourable mentions to The Orville (not finished yet), Ted Lasso (not finished yet), and a whole bunch of British tv from the 70s.

The late 90s/very early 2000s was good to us.

I keep meaning to get hold of Farscape.

Other shows I've enjoyed all the way through:

* Star Trek Deep Space Nine (I've *watched* almost everything else too, but DS9 is one that keeps getting better and rewards watching the whole thing)
* Battlestar Galactic (the more recent one)
* Yes (Prime) Minister
* Pushing Daisies
* Dead Like Me

(granted these last few are short seasons or short series)

I applaud your first three choices! (ALthough I don't have an appropriate icon.)

I never watched Stargate. I fell out of love with the West Wing around s4 (I did watch some of the later seasons, I'm sure, but I've certainly never rewatched the entire series.)

My fault? Surely we must blame Mr. Browder for switching shows. :-D
I can't even remember...did *I* get you on to SG? Really? Wow.
It's thanks to SG1 with BB in it, that my friend I met at a con met my bro-in-law who was lonely and wanted to watch SG with us....and they met...and now I have two nieces.

I will probably be back when I think of other shows, but I had to nominate The Bridge (the Scandinavian original). 4 seasons of top-notch crime drama - each season with its own villain, but exploring the overall theme(s) from different angels. And for the main character (the incomparable Saga Noren) a four-season arc* that is one of the most beautiful and satisfying I have ever witnessed.

*separate from the overall themes

If it is, watch!

We watched as it first came out and then re-watched the whole show fairly recently, and omg it was so rewarding to be able to see it all unfold and be able to pick up on all the themes much more clearly.

Also one of the best portrayals of an autistic character on screen. <3
