Added. I am gunna assume that (3) Cracker is the UK version given its reputation vs. the US remake.

[–] homoludens@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks! And yes, the UK version.

  • 3 Star Trek DS9
  • 4 Fleabag
  • 5 House MD
  • 6 Arrested Development

Added. I am gunna assume the Twin Peaks is the original, and not the revival.

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

I think of the return as season 3 of the same series. Plus that makes it simpler and not in need of bumping anything on the list.

Bah, I knew I'd think of one after submitting my list: "It's a sin", of course. Oh well, too late now.
