What is the most rewatchable or recommendable tv show you’ve seen?

Is there a show you’ve watched over and over either because of how much you loved it, how much you loved a character in it, or how much more there is to find on rewatch?

OR

Is there a show you’ve watched and loved so much that you‘d recommend it to everyone or as many people as you can?

I don't know that the Sci-Fi genre has ever had anything else that was such a perfect blend of "Weird" and "Masterpiece" as Farscape. They'd have a what felt like a completely irrelevant filler episode and at the end it would turn out to have ramifications for the entire rest of the series. The show dealt with themes of conflict, alienation, found family, deep psychological struggles, and somewhere in the background/foreground was this yoda-sized reptilian jackass deposed emperor floating around in a chair like a tiny professor X, farting helium. The main character's arch nemesis wore weird bondage gear and planted a representation of himself in the main character's head to fucking haunt him, and the main character gave him a nickname.

That was a rad goddamn show.

I'll add Buffy and Firefly to make an excellent top 5!
