As an American, what foreign shows am I missing? - GoFuckYourself.com

uno · 12-29-2011, 02:57 AM

I absolutely loved the following:
Luther(UK)
Misfits(UK)
ReGenesis(Canada)
The Fades(UK)
Being Human(UK, the american version is kind of shit so far)
The Listener(Canada, but it wasn't great)
Lost Girl(Canada)
Life on Mars(UK)
Ashes to Ashes(UK, but it wasn't as good as life on mars)
Doctor Who(UK)
Torchwood(was UK, but they kind of fucked up this past season on STARZ)

I know I must be missing a lot of great TV here, so someone fill me in.

I've heard Charlie Jade is pretty good(South Africa)

I also enjoyed the Aussie Wilfred after watching the American adaptation with the same actor as the dog.

Torrents don't tell you anything about a program's quality.

crockett · 12-29-2011, 03:00 AM

Is there actually an on going series for Life on Mars from the UK? I know it aired in the US but was only for 1 season if I'm not mistaken.

iggysick · 12-29-2011, 03:00 AM

Torrents are bad,mkaaaaaay

it was 2 series in the UK i think and then they followed it up with 2 series(seasons) of Ashes to Ashes which took place in the 80s.

Also, the brits do things differently with tv. They do 6-12 episodes of a show a year and usually have that show run 2-3 years max with a few exceptions like Doctor Who.

Does croatia even show anything other than half decent movies from America in the mid 1980's?

uno · 12-29-2011, 03:15 AM

I also like Primeval and am psyched for the canadian offshoot.

rogueteens · 12-29-2011, 04:41 AM

I agree with you 100% about Torchwood, i was a fan of the show but only watched 20 mins tops of the latest series.

Sherlock is worth watching BTW

and if it gets shown over there, Whitechapel.

nextri · 12-29-2011, 04:50 AM

One of the greates UK comedy shows ever:

Peep Show

Hilarious. A must see.

MrMaxwell · 12-29-2011, 06:26 AM

I always wanted to know about those dirty game shows I've seen clips of online.. Where can I see those anyway?

plsureking · 12-29-2011, 06:37 AM

'Death in Paradise' from the UK. really enjoyable.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b016mw91

'Call Me Fitz' from HBO Canada. awesome show but hard to get.
http://www.hbocanada.com/callmefitz/

Relentless · 12-29-2011, 06:40 AM

The IT crowd is brilliant... But season two and three are much better than one... So stick with it.

ottopottomouse · 12-29-2011, 11:42 AM

Mad Dogs 2010 - it's short though, only 4 episodes.

bronco67 · 12-29-2011, 11:58 AM

Please guys, go buy the shows on Amazon or iTunes.

uno · 12-30-2011, 03:16 AM

Anything similar to ReGenesis out there? I really really liked that show.

Bryan G · 12-30-2011, 09:35 AM

Peep Show from the UK is funny

Agreed and you can see a lot of it on youtube as you can also with the inbetweeners which is also great UK comedy.

who gives a damn about foreign shows, all the best stuff is made in the USA

Just Mike · 12-30-2011, 05:49 PM

SPOOKS!

All time best show for me...they ended their 10 season run this year.

sheken · 12-30-2011, 06:00 PM

Top Gear .. the UK version. Really well done and entertaining

RonTheDon · 12-30-2011, 06:06 PM

Survivors

It's a pretty good show about a flu that struck and took out like 98% of the population. Almost has the feel of a zombie show like The Walking Dead, but no zombies.

A UK colleague has suggested this to me also.

I'm leaning more towards sci-fi ish stuff which has led me to a show called Charlie Jade that only lasted a season (20 eps) that I'll give a shot. Apparently its from 2005ish and is about a PI who jumps between 3 parallel universes. It seems a bit out there, but eh.

Survivors sounds like something that I'll probably give a shot too.

EroTechnology · 12-30-2011, 07:12 PM

Try checking out The Take featuring the brilliant Tom Hardy. A Martina Cole book that was serialised into a three part drama for Sky One.

uno · 12-30-2011, 08:42 PM

Is there anything good coming out of Australia? Aside from Wilfred? I saw that on IFC and the american remake featuring the same actor on FX.

Also on IFC, and I assume some UK channel: The increasingly poor decisions of Todd Margeret(I could be off on the title) is pretty good. I love David Cross.

MaxCandy · 12-31-2011, 03:12 AM

Wilred The Oz Original

MaxCandy · 12-31-2011, 03:14 AM

Downton Abbey, 9 rating on IMDB and it is really is that good, watch one ep and you will be hooked

CurrentlySober · 12-31-2011, 03:15 AM

XBiz London, The Amsterdam one, (WMA) and I 'think' theres something in Prague going down as well...

So it's just piracy of porn that is bad and tv shows are cool to steal?

CarlosTheGaucho · 12-31-2011, 05:23 AM

Two shows I'd recommend:

The Kingdom from Lars von Trier

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108906/

Cracker with Robbie Coltrane

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105977/

Both among my all time favorite list.

seeandsee · 12-31-2011, 06:39 AM

Holland have some kick ass shows, but cant name it, i know translated names...

Give it a miss, it's shit

Check out a BBC show called The Shadow Line, it's a 7 part Crime Thriller.

It's as good as, if not better than Luther,

Also check out a BBC show called Murphys Law (Seasons 3 - 5) I'd say it's even better than Luther.

Spooks is excellent up until around Season 6, then the standard drops significantly.

I'll post more in the New Year
