I know it's ancient but I can't stop watching 'The Thick of It'. I must have watched every episode about 20 times (or more as I bought the DVDs years ago!) and every time I watch it I pick up on the subtle sub-plot, hidden little nods and nuances. It's exceptionally well written, directed and Malcolm Tucker has to be one of the best comedy characters I've ever witnessed.
Another one i'm late to then, not seen this either but just googled it and have seen it was made by Armando Iannucci from classic Alan Partridge days, so it must be good! Will add it to the list.Lazermilk said:

Santa Clarita Diet cancelled by Netflix 
They’re buggers for it. It’s fine to stop a show after three seasons but not giving viewers a proper ending is very frustrating.Two episodes into One Strange Rock narrated/hosted by Will Smith. Very good so far.
From the award-winning team of filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (`Black Swan') and producer Jane Root (`America the Story of Us'), this 10-part cinematic event series explores the fragility and wonder of planet Earth -- one of the most peculiar, unique places in the universe. Host Will Smith guides viewers on an unprecedented exploration, bolstered by an elite group of eight astronauts who provide unique perspectives and relate personal memoirs of the planet seen from a distance. Hourlong episodes delve into monumental events such as genesis, cosmic violence, human intelligence and alien life, oxygen, and survival vs. destruction.

I started to watch Black Summer....2 Episodes in so far...it's ok, the acting is not that great, the car scenes in Ep.2 especially.
Will stick with it though as I like the genre
On episode 6 now - enjoying it, and there are some really tense moments, but you’ve got to wonder if any of the characters have ever seen a zombie movie before Will stick with it though as I like the genre
Edit: I've watched all 8 episodes now, and on reflection, it was actually a bit s
t. Started off strong with a few good episodes, then really went downhill for the last 3 - Think this must have had a rather small budget, and it really shows. Shame, as I like a good zombie film/series, and this looked like it would be quite refreshing given the nature of the first few episodes, but am left feeling quite disappointed by it.

If you just like the action then it might still be good, but I got bored.
