Well, its about high school kids who like to party and make bad choices. lol so yeah, your exactly correct.

Try Broadchruch and Top of the Lake. Also it's not really drama but Black Mirror is absolutely brilliant.

I watch Downton Abbey and I am not afraid to say it.

While it's not a drama, more of a crude comedy really, I've recently seen some scenes from Mrs. Brown's Boys. Hilarious and raunchy comedy. Here's a sample.

Yeah, I watched the first episode of black mirror a while back...and wow...came here and did a search, couldn't believe no one here had mentioned it yet. Haven't watched any other episodes, but will sometime this year probably.

I'll admit, it about lost me in the first season. It was pretty hokey there for a few episodes. There were some good episodes and I was into it when

Spoiler!


But it got soft and hokey after that.

But the last episode of the first season when he

Spoiler!


I was like awwww hell they gone and done it.

Second season was improved particularly towards the end. Wbut they pulled out the big guns when

Spoiler!


Didn't see that shit coming at all. Not even a little bit. But it really parlayed into season 3 very well. Season 3 was exemplary other than Prince John being over the top douchey. I really got engaged and cared about the characters. And the last 2 episodes in particular were pretty damn good tv. Maybe it is because the baby is nearly here but

Spoiler!


I was really surprised I got that into it. Seriously. After all the hokiness of the first season, which I primarily had it on in the background while I was working at my desk, and what the hell. Marion was hot, so I kept it going. I'm really surprised I was that into it.

I think it's jumped the shark.

For a while there I was an addict.

Being Human, Dr Who, Torchwood, Shameless (US version,) Primeval, etc. For a while it seemed like everything I wanted to watch had a Brit accent.

Now the same shows with the same names are seriously trying to slumpbust...

I hooked up to Netflix UK and watched all of season 1 of Black Mirror last night. Holy shit.

I watched the show knowing nothing except the name. Imagine how completely thrown off I was for the first 15 minutes of the second episode.

If you haven't seen it, I sincerely suggest you check it out.

Yeah for some reason when I tell people to watch this show they seem to always say the first episode is boring but it picks up afterward. The writing is sharp and the shots are gorgeous and Cillian Murphy is a smooth mother****er.

Yeah. Murphy did a nice job, I just couldn't get it. I just didn't care. I'll rewatch E1 and give it another shot.
