I'd watch the first 4 seasons and then bin it off if I were you.
Finished Season 4 last night. I’ll carry on for now. Still enjoying it but will see where it goes from here.

We've been watching The Decameron on Netflix.

A few episodes in. Not side-splittingly funny but decent and will probably appeal to fans of The Great.

Alfs - Did you watch Out There, recent ITV drama set in Wales with Martin Clunes? I thought it was good, then again what ain't with Clunes.

Stumbled across Boston Legal recently. Probably about 15ish years old? Not sure how I missed it before but incredibly funny and slips in great commentary through the trials of many of the idiocies of the US.

It's a legal comedy starring William Shatner and James Spader as two unlikely lawyer friends plus many familiar other actors too (including Candice Bergen!).

It's on All 4 but the adverts every couple of minutes (US style) mean we actually bought an old DVD boxset (cheap as chips now)  to make watching it bearable.

Highly recommended if you don't know it.

Not back actually, thought I'd hate it but quite amusing.
Yea it's good in it's own way even if some parts make you want to jack in it, but worth sticking with. They've confirmed a second series.
