the best set

[deird1]

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.

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)

Farscape is excellent – but horribly uneven. They took risks, which meant they were occasionally spectacular, and occasionally crash and burned. (I would absolutely recommend you watch it – but the first season is… slow to get good.)



Yes Minister is the main reason I gave an honourable mention to the 70s. :)

I loved Battlestar Galactic, but only the first two seasons. After that, I never could be bothered tracking down season 3.

And I've never watched DS9. I really should – it sounds fantastic.

* Pushing Daisies
* Dead Like Me

Oooh, good choices!
