From The Goldbergs - There can be only one (Highlander Club).

I can't find a YouTube clip of Clancy Brown saying this out loud as he's in the episode and there's a short Highlander esque speech in it too smile (it is properly awesome in my own opinion)

On the drama side, The Durrells.
I'm unnaturally attracted to Keeley Hawes in this series, and yet indifferent to her in all the other stuff she's done.

Similarly, HubNut videos. Low budget faffing around with old and often rubbish cars. His Invacar is utterly charismatic.

YouTube is where everything is for me now.

I love watching Mr Carlson's Lab. Sometimes an hour of repairing some old valve (tube) radio.

Barry is pretty damned annoying - how the rest of the JTP don't club him to death is a mystery

But that a lot of this is rooted in reality makes this all the more watchable, especially when they interview the real people on which it's based

Full Custom Garage.

American custom car builder Ian Rousel builds cars. Just him and the odd helper here and there.

The opposite of any other car build show - no real deadlines, no drama, and it actually shows how he creates the cars.

Entourage has to be up there. Well worth binge watching to cheer yourself up.

Will second this.

I took a look thinking it would just be a fairly dumb, clinched sports comedy about English soccer (American writer), but was hooked after a couple of episodes.

There are a few cliches, but on the whole it's very well written.

This, just brilliant. In fact the box set arrived last week.

I very, very rarely watch anything twice, but am watching Snow cats & me again tonight as it was on when I switched on the box.
It's about a Scottish guy (I think he's a cameraman) who follows and documents a Russian fella who buy Snow cats from people who keep them (for years) in cages in garages in Russia and reintroduce them to the wild. It's the pinnacle of feelgood for me, if you have any liking or empathy for wildlife I would highly recommend it.
