During the last decade or so, TV series have grown enormously in popularity. Which series are you watching now? Which good one did you watch recently? And which are you planning on watching? Which series would you recommend and which ones you wouldn't?
If you want you can express how much you liked them by rating them with a note from 1/10 to 10/10.

I've recently watched on Netflix a quite new English series called "The end of the fucking world" about two teenage loons (a girl and a boy) who go together on a trip. The episodes were very short, about 20 minutes each or less. Apparently the first season just finished. Up to now it's OK, nothing amazing but entertaining enough to watch while you are having dinner. It has a few funny scenes. 7/10 so far. Has anyone watched it?

I don't watch much tv now. When I do it's mostly the movie channels or the news or shopping channels for background noise. The only programme I watch regularly seems to be 'Say Yes to the Dress'. The last series I enjoyed was the first series of 'Heroes'.

The X Files is the only programme that I have to watch when it is in the TV, it’s great. Started watching it back in 1993 and still enjoying the new series which has just come out. 9/10. Now where is my ray gun, I’ll finish the jigsaw for you

That's the 1,000-piece version though. The one I have is the 2,000 piece one, which goes on to considerably below that. Talk about "all her glory"...

My favorite shows that I've been watching season after season are: Better Call Saul 10/10 Fargo 9/10 Endeavor 9/10
I also really enjoyed the first season of Westworld (looking forward to it coming back) Oh, and I really liked Orphan Black but it lost me after a while.

All are on Netflix. Right now, what I fall to sleep to is: “Someone Feed Phil”. Not sure who the guy is. I think he wrote, produced some hit TV shows. Phil travels to other countries in search of their local cuisine. He’s so full of joy when experiencing a new food and meeting people. He's not shy. I think this show is tops in this category.
“Call My Agent” an Italian series. Agents dealing with actors, models. Very funny, well written.
Watching now: “Episodes” It's about the television industry. This one has Matt LaBlanc in it. He plays himself. He's wonderful. I’ve seen “Friends” enough to understand when they refer to “Joey”. Very well written. Smart and laugh out loud. Everyone is cast perfect. Matt plays an actor in a comedy series. The writers had a hit show in the UK and flew over to do a version of it in America (Like "The Office"). With all the meddling it's nothing like the UK show. The leading lady was in an UK comedy called “Black Books” (I think that’s the title. This is a fun show, too.)
I got bored with “Peaky Blinders”.
“Dreamland” Urban planners in Australia. GREAT! Clever. Dysfunctional office life at its best! Dave can’t watch it because of this.
“The Royle Family” UK show. Watched it last winter before I got out of bed in the mornings. I love it. A lower-class family’s life happens in their living room with the TV on as a distraction. Friends and neighbors slide thorough. It's just a comfortable show to watch.
“Nurse Jackie” An emergency department nurse addicted to pain pills and you wonder what she’s going to do next to try and maintain her working and home life. She’s very good at her job and is looked up to, but boy does she screw people over. Comedy-drama. Edie Falco, is brilliant, as are the other actors who play doctors, nurses, administrators. My sister worked in a hospital and told me that so much of what happens in the show is true. You get sucked in.
Watching now. “The Windsor’s”. Hilarious! Wicked parody of Wills, Kate, Chas, Camilla, and others. This one is my morning show at the moment.

A close friend of mine recommended me "Better Call Saul" a lot. Now that I've got a second opinion which coincides with his, I might have to add it to my list.

This got me wondering during a long while if you were being ironic about your job. Like saying "I get bored when Phil needs to eat". Then I came to the conclusion that it had nothing to do with that and that you were talking about an actual series. Wow, reading your post made me realize how little I know about series. Out of all the ones you mentioned the only one I knew something about is "Friends". You have watched quite a few!
