Since to an American audience, most British shows seem almost like mini-series anyways (this is NOT a judgement call, just a recognition of how short a "season" British shows tend to be, even if there is a following series of 6-8 episodes).


I can't think of any fantasy sci-fi series which haven't already been mentioned, but if you ever feel like a realist turn, then I recommend the BRITISH State of Play, and possibly The Last Enemy (and of course Sherlock if you haven't seen it yet).

And if you can handle costume dramas, there are some excellent Dickens adaptations which are about twice as long as average British series.

I liked it, but I can't call it "lovely" considering their Hollywood ending. Legolas - 24/05/2012 10:29:05 PM 1028 Views
