Oof, I'm sorry - - I just realized that the thread said BBC. :bag: Many of the shows that I mentioned above, like Lewis and Foyle, are actually from ITV. Not sure if that makes a difference to the thread.

Not really. BBC/Brit shows is good enough. One thing we haven't discussed is how BBC America has gone to the dogs lately. It doesn't have nearly the amount of quality shows as it used to have. Plus, it'll have Hollywood movies and blocks of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

I'm digging the fades.I guess you could loosely compare it to buffy with a light sprinkle of carnivale over the top.

ok, if they can only touch us by eating people, how do they eat the people in the first place in order to be able to eat them?also, when the fades jumped neil and cut him up why didn't they kill and eat him?

also, I was happy to find out sophie wu is much older than the character she plays.
I think the 'how' is explained around the midpoint- ep3 or 4 maybe.As for Neil, I don't remember why he was spared...wasn't his attack interrupted? It's been about a year since I saw these, so I don't recall...
no, it wasn't interrupted.they just used it as a plot device so the kid could heal him.like, 6 of those fades were on him.also, if they're already dead, what good does shooting them do?or, is it just that the english think guns are ubermagicaldeadly?
disregard -- should've waited for ep4

Huge Top Gear fan. Yes it's just a nonfiction show about cars; but the interplay of the three personalities is awesome, very well written, seriously goofy at times, and some of the episodes (driving to the north pole for example) are monumental.The aforementioned Cracker and Copper are also very solid.

 
Black Mirror dark satire is your thing, this is a fantastic show. It's really an anthology series but some of the most memorable TV I've seen in a long time.

Call The Midwives - 2012 - Present Drama following the day-to-day activities of women working in a 1950s era Midwifery. The show is loosely based around the memoirs of one of the main cast member. The cast is made up of 1/2 nuns and 1/2 upper middle class women doing charity work for the poorest and most needy East End residents of London. Deals with mostly issues of class and women's rights which BBC shows do so well. Executive Producer Pippa Harris is also well known for the Inspector Lindley Mysteries of the early to late 2000s.

As i think i said in the DA thread, ep 1 of CtM was the best experience i had in front of a TV screen in '12.
 
I don't get how Poirot or Lindley are on here? Both are some of the most popular and well reviewed BBC shows of all time. And does Cranford not qualify? I mean for ####s sake it won an emmy over the US cable shows and basically gave birth to DA. Hell, I think they shot it in the same town.

 
A couple older ones I've watched recently, both excellent:

Jeckyll - a mini series re-imagining of Jeckyll/Hyde, written by Steven Moffat who also wrote Sherlock.

Jonathan Creek - a mystery series about a guy who designs tricks for a magician and reluctantly helps solve crimes. Not your typical mystery show if you normally don't like this genre.

Utopia finished strong...I can't recommend it enough. I'm hearing a lot of callbacks to The Shadow Line as well, which is another series I have a few episodes of, but haven't watched more than the pilot. It starred the guy who was the assassin in the Firefly movie (Chiwetel Ejiofer) and Christopher Eccleston, from recent series of Doctor Who (and Stephen Rea, who was in Utopia).

They're finally working on season 2, but probably air until next year.

 
Broadchurch is fantastic. It's a murder-mystery set in a small town called Broadchurch and stars David Tennant and Olivia Colman.

Fox will be doing an American version, which is bound to suck, for the 2014-2015 season. The only positive note is that Tennant will be reprising his role.

Just downloaded them all last night, been popping up recently in several different places I frequent. Will have to find time to give a view.

 
I recommend "Fake or Fortune". Series 1 and 2 (total 7 episodes) are on YouTube. :thumbup:

Just watched the first 2 episodes. Really good so far.

 
Finally got around to watching House of Cards. 9 episodes in out of the 12 comprising the 3 series

Suppose I'll check out the US version to see how they did remaking this one, but have to imagine they don't reach the heights. Hoping for a US Office vs. BBC Office level of quality
