I remember loving Lonesome Dove as a young kid. I can't imagine it has held up that well.

Worst miniseries: Kingpin

Why isn't Fleabag a miniseries? There are 6 episodes in each series and there were 2 series in total (and that's all there will be). So 12 episodes. Doesn't that qualify?

Jane Eyre 1983 version. I watch it over and over and over and over.

All time favorite is North and South. Recent favorite is The Night Of.

Maybe, yes ,but the acting hasn't improved and neither has the storywriting. I read somewhere recently that one of the reasons British shows have become more popular (e.g. so many of the posts on here reference British shows) is that the acting and writing continues to be good, whereas Hollywood is really only about looks. Someone like Olivia Colman probably wouldn't have stood a chance in Hollywood before her Academy Award.
Anyway, to answer the question:
Fleabag
The Night Manager
The Little Drummer Girl
The Hour
Pride & Prejudice 1995
Bleak House
Little Dorrit
John Adams
Band of Brothers

I watched it again within the last 8-10 years, and I have to say I found my mind wandering. Same with Flambards, although BR is much higher quality.

Mildred Pierce
Dr Foster

Pride & Prejudice
Roots
Thorn birds
I Claudius
The Winds of War
Shogun
