I've seen every episode of.....

Gervais is the law of diminishing returns. The Office is genius, then every series after got steadily worse. Derek was absolutely unwatchable dross IMHO. After Life was a partial return to form, but not the masterwork that people have claimed it to be.
A bit harsh - I wouldn't argue that The Office remains his best work, but everything else he's done has still been very good. I'd say the David Brent film and After Life are only slightly less rewarding than The Office, and both are far better than the vast majority of current UK comedy.
 
Between the Lines - 90’s police drama with Neil Pearson
Tour of Duty - late night after pub Vietnam drama
OZ - American prison drama absolutely brilliant
The Returned - French supernatural about dead kids

Vaguely remember Between The Lines. The Returned - Les Revnants? The first series was great, the second an absolute mess and I jacked it in midway through.
 
Fawlty Towers
The Musketeers
The Prisoner
Grimm
Mash

Am I the only one who thinks Gervais is dire and a one-trick pony?

Tour of duty was great.

I was a big fan of late night TV drama from the late 80s/Early 90s such as:

Renegade
Hardball
Jake and the fat man.

Generally followed by Get Stuffed, The Hitman and Her and the 0898 FIFTY FIFTY FIFTY gay chat line advert.

Nope, can't abide him on the screen. On Twitter, it is a completely different matter.
