This is very difficult... and we must be very careful indeed...

You shouldn't ask for MORE simply because you enjoyed it.

Friends already seemed to go on endlessly - but most shows are rightly put to bed and overshadowed by newer and better ideas.

Now I'm watching Blue Light and don't miss NYPD blue.... I still watch Kojak occasionally, but I sure wouldn't want any MORE.

Gentleman Jack

Awesome stuff
HBO sucks and I hate them (but Band of Brothers was almost perfect, except that it was a little bit too restricted/condensed/reduced).

Black Mirror

'Nuff said.

Given that this is a collection of stories, and that I started READING stories a lot more recently (currently just finished Harrison Bergeron - the second story in "Welcome to the Monkeyhouse" written by Kurt Vonnegut. These stories are brilliant ideas put into short form - perfect.

Quantum Leap

was almost as good, but a little more formulaic - so I'd vote for Black Mirror to take the flag forward for interesting short stories.

Talking about Black Mirror...

The OA

Going back in history...

Firefly

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Anything of that time with Summer Glau looking incredibly gorgeous. Sure, you know I'm right - even when it's bad, it's just really good.

Scarborough (2019)

lovely, and took me back to some childhood holidays.

Victoria (2016-19)

certainly died too early (I love Jenna Coleman).

Tom and Jerry (original style, painted on glass, with no fear of being politically correct or educational).

Pink Panther

I know, they DID do more, a lot more Tom and Jerry - but most of that just sucks and I don't know why people even liked the continuation once the original atmosphere was lost. HD brought nothing to Tom n Jerry for sure.
Pink Panther owes 90% of it's success to bad drawing, amazing music, and sheer atmosphere surrounding mostly not amazing stories if the truth be told... but it worked so well. Hours of endless fun with just one bucket of blue, and another of pink paint... yes, you know what I'm talking about.

I still have a 'random cartoon' habit with Pink Panther/Tom n Jerry

There isn't much room for anything else in there.

I just wish there had been MORE of them.

I really liked the OA. Nobody I know who watched it did. Shame.

With regards to Charlie Brooker productions I'd also love the annual Wipe Series back
