Anyone mentioned Fawlty Towers yet? Definitely a keeper.

Lindalindgren, you might also want to give
Rake
a try the Australian series. It's on Netflix in many regions.

It's a dramedy. Goes to very dark places, but keeps a much lighter tone than BB. Bittersweet. I think the writing and acting is terrific. I frequently laugh out loud, and I rarely do that.
The Americans tried to adapt it, but it was dreadful, and was cancelled after a season.

Hannibal, HAnnibal, HANNIBAL!
I just binged-watched Malcolm In the Middle all 7 seasons and am now on S6 again all within a month, lol.(Though I'm laid up after a huge operation, and had undergone a lot of chemotherapy and beep so..to quote Mr. White ."I deserve this!")
uh, Superman TAS, umm..Workaholics is fun to watch while stoned. Futurama, Archer, The Boondocks, good lord there are so many rewatchable shows
I just LOE the ones in the title, though. Oh Daredevil, Jessica Jones, upcoming we got Luke Cage and Iron Fist and the Defenders

I realize I am like a small child in many respects (read it again Daddy!) but I have watched Breaking Bad, The Wire and Deadwood about 50 times apiece, that's how amazing they are. I never even remotely liked The Sopranos. Deadwood was a fantastic series that was ruined by perhaps the worst last episode in the history of television.
I suspect I will have watched Breaking Bad and The Wire 100 times before it's all over, that's how incredible they are.
The only two shows that are in the same ball park in my opinion are "Justified" (which may have had the best final season of any TV series ever) and the not very well known "Treme" which was created by David Simon (The Wire) and has two of its very best actors (Wendell Pierce and Clarke Peters) in major ongoing roles.
All four four of them are worth watching 50 times in my insane opinion.
Better Call Saul has been exceptional also but since you know how it's going to end up it takes a lot of the fun out of it. Still, the episode "Five-0" in Season 1 during which you discover Mike's backstory from Breaking Bad would rank for me among the top five episodes of Breaking Bad if it was an official part of that series (it should have been)!
From the worst binge watcher of all time, enjoy! -

Wow!
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
is worth watching twice also.
But would never watch it 50 times.
