I’m not very good at reading series. Even if I really like the first one, I typically feel like reading something else afterwards. And then I forget too easily and so there’s less incentive to pick up the second one as time goes on 
However, some (as yet partial 
) series I’ve enjoyed are the Temeraire novels (Naomi Novik), Mary Stewart’s Merlin saga, George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones, and Lisa Boyle’s Pinter P. I. trilogy. One trilogy I did read and enjoy all three books is Ken Follett’s Century Trilogy.

I read every one of those little orange biographies in our school library. I really believe that reading about those famous people as children had an influence on my life.

I have quite a few favorite series, Below are a few top of mind. Many are historical mystery series —-these are not romance. Also, the sci-fi series tend to be positive versus dystopian, gloom and doom.
Faha “series” / two books only (Niall Williams, literary fiction)
Thursday Murder Club (Richard Osman, mystery)
Chief Inspector Gamache (Louise Penny, mystery, Canada)
Lady Astronaut (Mary Robinette Kowal, 1950s/sci-fi)
Monk & Robot (Becky Chambers, sci-fi)
The Wayfarers (Becky Chambers, sci-fi)
Barker & Llewelyn (Will Thomas, historical mystery, England)
Veronica Speedwell (Deanna Raybourn, historical mystery, England)
Lady Emily (Tasha Alexander, historical mystery, England and Europe)
Sparks & Bainbridge (Allison Montclair, historical mystery, England)
Purveen Mistry (Sujata Massey, historical mystery, India)
Harriet Gordon (A M Stuart, historical mystery, Singapore)

Loved Amelia Peabody series.
Me, too. Those little books definitely piqued my interest in American history.
I also like the Cork O’Connor series, even though I’ve had to read them out of sequence leaving me to wonder about the state of his marraige…etc. I found his books not more than a year ago, which surprised me as I’m definitely a fan of mysteries with protagonists who don’t fit the mould.

There are many series that I like. I can categorize them to some extent.
Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch series - because in the books he’s definitely close my age, and Vietnam looms large in his life.
Wallender (Henning Makell) gets my “most emotionally wrenching ending” award.
John Sandford’s Virgil Flowers series. A BCI investigator who locks his weapon in a lockbox in the trunk is my kind of law enforcer, not to mention the fact that he’d rather be fishing. I don’t share a passion for that sport, but my kindred soul would rather be painting.
Can’t leave the list without mentioning Donna Leon’s Commissario Brunetti series. I love to think that terrible crimes can be solved while stopping at a cafe for coffee or a glass of wine. The pace of most of the series is relaxing.
