TV Across the Pond - Name Some Good Shows

do you ever get tired of watching the same old tatt on tv? I know I do, so I've gone looking at some of the US shows and found some winners like The Company and Mad Men. These shows are only just getting screened in the UK so I wondered what UK stuff does the US get? and then I thought I'd put a little list of good stuff thats come out of the UK which are really worth seeing, and here they are with a little desription of what they're about

Life on Mars - Drama about a police detective in a coma which transports him to 1970's britain,stars John Simms

Red Riding - Brilliant short crime series about abductions and murders over a 30 year period, absolutely gripping, beautifully shot and acted- it finished yesterday and its a tour de force of British talent

Shameless - Comedy drama about about a poor family on benefits on a crime ridden council estate in Manchester, wickedly funny, very astute observations and so close to how the British underclass live it's amazing it got broadcast at all.

The Lakes - drama about a close knit community in Wales. starring John Simms. this came out in the 90's but it was brilliant, great acting, wicked soundtrack.

Being Human - comedy drama about a Werewolf, Vampire and a Ghost sharing a house. a brilliant little 'sleeper hit' thats really enjoyable.

so now I've made a little list, so mylotters what international TV am I missing out on?
