I missed it on release. I'm really enjoying it - it tracks the events and attitudes of the day as it moves through time very well.
The casting is spot on. The social attitudes from season 1 are quite shocking these days but of course accurate for the time. It's great. The little things are done as well as the main points. The delivery of their first photocopier was spot on, about the size of a car, taking up most of an office.
I'm in season 6 at the moment so about 1.5 seasons left.
I'm also watching the new series of Jack Ryan.
It's almost back to the form of season 1 after S2 and 3 being a bit crap considering the source material.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
I wasn't too sure at first, there's lots of nudity and violence - so that's good - but I was finding the characters unlikeable and various subplots irritating. But it seems to be rapidly gaining some layers of sublety and complexity, and I've been told the later seasons are better than the first.
Recently watched Colin from accounts, which we really enjoyed, and Deadloch, which was really funny, but extremely sweary, which were fine with, but won’t suit everyone..
Recommended. Stick with it as it gets better as it progresses.
Just started season 2 of Star trek: strange new worlds on Paramount (via Amazon) and that's really good too.
Have you tried Justified with Timothy Olyphant?
I'm much more into films than series really - I don't like to commit to anything with dozens of episodes - but my brother's been telling me for years to watch Banshee. And I am a fan of The Boys so the presence of Antony Starr is a selling point.
Loved it.

Absolute drivel. Trying so hard to be edgy and clever, but so badly done.
It’s like a teenager has tried to rip off Killing Eve and set it in Wales.
And the stunts are laughably bad, just how slow they were filmed is painfully obvious because they still look slow.
There is no 'H' in Aych, you know that don't you? ~ Wife

Bit of trading feedback here.
I was reading about it and thought it sounded vaguely interesting, but I'm not sure I can be bothered.
YMMV of course!
For the first time since 1976, the BBC is to be repeating the groundbreaking TV series 'I Claudius' ( often called 'I Clavdivs' at the time) on BBC Four.
Starting on August 16th at 22.50 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mhmk/broadcasts/upcoming
Given that BBC R4 regularly repeats programmes multiple times, sometimes on the same day (grrrrrr!) it's astounding that it has taken them so long to get to this point.
Hope that it has aged well, as it had a really stellar acting cast. I can still remember the storyline & many of the scenes with great clarity today, it really was a hugely important TV milestone IMHO.
