Surprised no one has mentioned Orphan Black. Took a while, but I'm hooked and last year it cleaned up at the British TV awards.

thats cause orphan black was canadian/american i believe.

black mirror, WAS a great show until someone else got their hands on it. netflix and whomever is to blame.

im on episode 5 of the new season, and although its not terrible, its not up to the same standards as the uk version. unless it gets better from here out, i will rate as disappointed.

top of the lake was new zealand btw. great show.

now this is bri-ish:

shameless

i binge watched all 11 seasons while off work with severed tendons. the only person you may recognize is frank. he played a part in hot fuzz as the shakespearean director. i am looking and apparently episodes are on netflix (thru season 4) and maybe youtube.

its a kack!! ROFL

(eta: skins, is a good show, but the format, after a couple seasons, they introduce new characters that get or it seems, younger each batch. by the end you feel like a grown man watching real world. :D)

Did you see 'What We Do in Shadows?'

Apparently, they are turning the cops who were oblivious to the vampires and werewolves among them into a series.

not a vampire and werewolf fan. they scare me.. joking aside, still not a fan. :D

Not sure if you're familar, but What We Do in Shadows is not scary in the least.

Jemaine Clement [Flight of the Conchords] and Taika Waititi [Hunt for the Wilderpeople] made a mockumentary about the only vampires in New Zealand. They're more like Real World bozos.

It's like if Spinal Tap met Tru Blood met The Real World.

lololol, i was worried you were talking about something dramatic. whats great was while watching the first bit, all i could think about was 'flight of the concords', then the credits rolled ROFL

but this is a bbc/uk thread and i was joking about being scared LOL :D

Everything. It's a gorgeous show with tight writing and some great acting, though Cillian Murphy steals every scene that doesn't have Tom Hardy in it.

I started watching with subtitles after a while, and that was a good move. Catch a LOT more of what's happening. I lived in England and dated a Brit for a whole, so I can generally handle the accents, but they're heavy on this show.

That's a good idea. I'll kick them on and watch it again when I get a minute.

anything bri-ish needs subtitles, you proper royal blue bell end :D

What local dialect gives you the most trouble

Black Mirror new season is on Netflix now.

i watched yesterday, i was very disappointed. not nearly as dark themed as the original three seasons. and its no longer bri-ish either. :(
