Ops manager by day, tactical genius after two pints by night, and yes I have opinions on plot armour. This is the shortlist of telly that survived past episode three in our house — the rest are still sat half-watched, judged, and never mentioned again. Heavy on Manchester's own back catalogue because apparently I can't help myself, plus a couple of ringers that earned their spot through sheer stubbornness.

Series I actually finished — 6 items
Name	Genre	Setting	Seasons	Verdict
1Cold Feet	Comedy-drama	Manchester	Original run plus a proper comeback years later	Middle-aged mates falling apart and getting back together, basically my group chat with better lighting.
2Life on Mars	Sci-fi crime drama	Manchester, 1973	2 series	The ending still starts arguments at the bar. I have a theory, nobody asked for it, I give it anyway.
3Queer as Folk (UK)	Drama	Canal Street, Manchester	2 series	Nineteen ninety-nine Manchester on screen looks exactly as chaotic as everyone who lived it always said it was.
4Line of Duty	Police procedural	Unnamed English police force	6 series	The interview scenes are better tactically than most of the football I watch on a Saturday, and that's not a compliment to the football.
5Peaky Blinders	Period crime drama	Birmingham	6 series	Started as a proper gang story, ended as a moody photoshoot with occasional dialogue. Still watched every episode though.
6Ted Lasso	Sports comedy-drama	Fictional Premier League club, London	3 seasons	Loses every tactical battle on paper and wins on vibes alone. If my manager tried that I'd have words.
