What TV/Web series would you recommend to become articulate?

Looking for a TV series that is entertaining as well as help become articulate. English is my second language but I am fairly fluent in it. I want to polish my spoken English. Of course, I understand that the best way to do that is by speaking more in English. But I figured that if I am gonna waste my time watching movies and TV series I might as well make the most out of it.

Maybe go for something set in a rural area. The problem with shows set in the cities is that you will get a lot of slang and generally poor English.

Almost anything by Aaron Sorkin. Or Shonda Rhimes (but actually written by her) And the first couple of seasons of David Mamet’s The Unit.

Sorkin’s The Newsroom has great dialogue, but everyone speaks so fast

The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1970)
Fall of Eagles (1974)
Elizabeth R (1971)

These are very script-driven
