Peaky Blinders most def. Set in Birmingham! My dad lives there, and I lived there for a year, so that's gotta be on the list.
You would love it. You might cringe at the accents, I dunno, but it's worth it.
I've seen the first few seasons of IT Crowd, generally watching it with my brother when I'm up in Scotland. Richard Ayoade is awesome of course. Sometimes slightly put off by the fairly heavy gender role stereotyping, but I guess this is still fairly normal in most shows.
I am to some degree as well, but it gets better. I guess because I grew up watching American sitcoms where Jen would just be the hot fun-suck shrew as opposed to on British TV, where she gets as much humiliation as the guys. I'd have liked it better if the roles were gender-swapped but then I wouldn't be able to crush on Ayoade.
I've heard Hell on Wheels is good. No one told me Chief O'Brien is in it, though.
