Brit TV show recommendations

[Sundae]

Whitechapel is better.
Just because of the cast

I agree with Dani, though.
Often, our written/ radio reviews are all about the excellent drama shows coming out of the US, and how we can never compete with the budgets (true) or the stellar cast (well - an opinion based on movies I think.) Certainly some American TV is held in extremely high esteem here. Because it's only worth buying in the best.

Grass is always greener and all that.

Being proud of my country I do think we squeeze out an extraordinary amount of talent for a small island. But of course the huge help is that we speak the same language (albeit with regional variations.)

Yes I prefer British comedy than American, but I think that's a matter of immersion. And there are comedies on both sides of the Atlantic that would send me stark staring mad if I had to watch them non-stop. And they're ratings winners. Sigh.
