TV junkies cannot get over a classic 'comfort' series, that one viewer claims is 'the best thing you will ever watch'.
It's that time of year when we're soon going to have a bit of time off work for the festive break, and with that free time, many will stick on the likes of Netflix with their nearest and dearest.
There are of course many new movies and TV series to enjoy over the holiday period, from the '10/10' film that's been compared to Die Hard or Lindsay Lohan's latest festive flick.

However, nothing beats sitting down with a glass of mulled wine and some chocolate to watch a true classic.
And there's one show in particular that many people can't seem to get enough of right now, with many flocking to social media to talk about it.
Six seasons have been released to date, with both the second and fourth offerings sitting at a perfect 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes score.
The series - called Schitt's Creek - follows Johnny Rose and his family as they go from extremely wealthy to penniless after becoming a victim of fraud.
It starred the likes of Dan Levy, Eugene Levy, Annie Murphy, Catherine O'Hara and Sarah Levy over the years.
Schitt's Creek has become the hot topic of conversation on the 'Netflix Bangers' Facebook group after one user asked for 'honest reviews' on the series.
One person commented: "It is one of the BEST series ever.. loved it!!! BUT you have to push through the first couple of episodes to get into the story and characters. Then it just gets AMAZING!"
A second added: "One of my regular comfort shows. Watched it all the way through at least 4 (or 5?) times."
While a third claimed: "The best thing you will ever watch."
And a fourth quipped: "I wish I could erase it from my mind to watch it all over again for the first time. Sooo good."
Schitt's Creek premiered on CBC Television in January 2015 and ran for a total of 80 episodes until its finale in April 2020. It went on to gain even more popularity after hitting Netflix in 2017.
Richard Lawson, from Vanity Fair, penned in a review: "It's possessed of a loopy character logic that doesn't always come together, but that's sort of the fun of it. The show deftly maintains its balance of breeziness and sincerity, of zany high-comedy and well-observed nuance."
While The Verge's Pilot Viruet wrote: "The show is funny, queer, and silly, but it's also appealingly warm. The writers seem to truly love their characters and want to see them happy. That shouldn't make a show stand out, but it does."
You can stream all six seasons of Schitt's Creek on Netflix now.
