The Hour, the old Robin Hood, Wonderfalls should sort of count, Queer as Folk,... Legolas Send a noteboard - 21/05/2012 10:18:43 PM
So, anyone got some good suggestions??

- The Hour - has often been compared to Mad Men, since it's also set in the '50s, but this is about BBC journalists making a new kind of news show in the time of the Suez crisis

- the eighties' version of Robin Hood ("Robin of Sherwood", but apparently it's called "Robin Hood" in the US), with Michael Praed, Judi Trott and Clannad's fantastic music

- Queer as Folk, the original, that inspired the American remake, starring Aidan Gillen, i.e. Littlefinger on Game of Thrones, as a gorgeous but rather promiscuous gay man

- Coupling, brilliant comedy series on sex and relationships

- Wonderfalls, which is an American (Fox) show but set in Canada (or on the border, anyway) and with a French Canadian lead actress, and was outrageously canceled even before the first season was over

I liked it, but I can't call it "lovely" considering their Hollywood ending. Legolas - 24/05/2012 10:29:05 PM 930 Views
