Hmmmm, Black mirror deserves a mention too. Firefly too
Apparently when this first aired in Europe it was shown without a laugh track. Would make for a very different and equally awesome show. My nickname at work is Hawkeye
But I can’t
I’m not a MASH generation guy (originally aired before my time) but i think it’s brilliant. It’s extremely funny, clever and poignant. And yeah, it was a little preachy at time, and had some down episodes, but overall the standard was really high for a series that ran that long.
I believe the final episode is the highest rating episode of any TV show of all time in the US, even still.

First season is awesome, haven’t seen the second. Have heard it isn’t worth it
Brilliant, a few imitators around now that are nowhere near as good.
Farkity bye - still cracks me up
I haven’t seen the American remake but I heard it’s also good.
The second season has its moments but no where near as good as season 1.
Neither, but really I don’t see the point. There is only one Sarah Lund. Scandos do it best.
There was another Scandi crime series on SBS recently that is worth a look - midnight Sun. Anything I say would be spoiler

Edit left out game of thrones because whilst good it is has nothing on the books and the last season was ordinary.

Having said that, Fargo season 2 is prob the best season of a slow I’ve seen.
Honourable mention: Carnivale
