What TV series can you repeat watch indefinitely

Yep, remember settling down each week to get my weekly “fix” via Channel 4. Then bought all the DVDs and watched it again and again and again.
Each person is played to perfection and I think I know my favourite character (sometimes Junior, sometimes Tony, sometimes Johnny Sac but nearly always Paulie Walnuts) but then I’ll watch an episode and be blown away by a new role etc.
It’s also one of the funniest set of scripts ever written. Plus all the brilliant “our thing” lingo.

“Shoot your cuffs.”

I’d go Paulie. His remarks are hilarious.
 
ITV 4 every day
The Sweeney
Minder

Both brilliant in their own way.

Any other time, Early Doors
 
The Prisoner.

Yes dated now , but the best imo. I've been addicted since 1967.

Patrick McGoohan starred in The Prisoner as Number Six, an unnamed British secret agent who angrily resigns on unexplained ethical grounds. He is immediately sedated and abducted, waking up in The Village, a picturesque coastal prison camp of sinister tweeness. More Butlins than Guantanamo Bay, the show’s main location was Portmeirion in north Wales, a magnificent mock-Mediterranean fantasy designed and built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis.

Fifty six years after Patrick McGoohan’s surreal spy series The Prisoner first aired on TV, are we all now living in The Village?

Brilliant use of the location.
Works on several levels : swinging Sixties psychedelic weirdness, spy- espionage mystery, glimpsing the future of society, examination of the nature of freedom vs conformity.
 
All been mentioned before on this thread but, to my mind, you would have to go a long way to beat:-

Our Friends in the North. If a better British drama has been made, I'm yet to see it.

Detectorists. As above, within comedy.

West Wing. The President I would have liked while watching the excesses of Trump.
