I'm a big fan of the Sherlock series, basically 3 movie length episodes per year, plus a couple of specials that so far has lasted 4 years (2017 was the last year). I liked it so much that I went ahead and bought the whole set on the iTunes store, even though I had recorded most of them. It's been quite a few years since there has been an American TV show that I watched regularly or recorded.
