Shows like Coupling (probably the best comedy show ever made), Peep Show, Jonathan Creek, Poirot and Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett. I can not begin to explain how great that series is, Jeremy Brett puts on one of the best performances ever in any context. What's even sicker about the performance is that he is dying towards the end of the series and still puts on a flawless performance. you're literally on smack if you think uk tv is any good outside of a few shows sure, we might have a bunch of good comedies but there have been about 4 watchable dramas produced in the past decade in the uk. | ||

Some of the best writing I've seen on TV in a while. I'm seconding this. One of my recent favorite shows. Although the first season is 3 episodes, each episode is about an hour and a half long. Well put-together show. | ||

One thing I never got was why Mad Men never really took off, now I don't know how big it is in the US but outside of it, it's placed on obscure places on obscure times. It's a shame because it's actually one of the few decent series out of America at the moment. | ||

And how many times do I have to see a book "brought to life" as a screenplay only for it to turn out that the director never read the book? :/ | ||

Hollywood hasn´t produced anything worth watching since the Governator retired from action films IMO. Also some british comedy is okay. Watch Black Books, it´s the best comedy series ever  | ||

i wonder - if you gave a non-US studio/director hundreds of millions of dollars to make a film, where would all that money be spent anyway? isn't there really only one place to dump it, into special effects and/or famous actors, and at that point how different would it really be from american cinema? it would definitely be interesting to see different cultures takes on the big budget movie though. the only thing i can think of that is somewhat analogous is bollywood, which i don't really dig :D | ||
