15 British Shows That Make American TV Look Second-Rate
Although British shows have never been as popular worldwide as American TV has always been, that doesn't mean that there isn't any quality television being produced in England.
On the contrary, some recent British shows have managed to make American projects look childish, amateurish and generally uninspired compared to their counterparts across the pond.
Here are 15 British shows that make American TV look dull and amateurish:
As you've probably noticed, British television excels in the drama department, especially when it comes to crime. Shows about private detectives, cops, murderers and even supernaturally gifted teenagers are all the rage in the UK - they know how to write a great script that not only draws you in, but also feels realistic.
Of course you've heard of the likes of 'Fleabag ' and 'Peaky Blinders ' as these projects have exploded onto the international scene, but the most underrated show on this list, 'Line of Duty', certainly deserves a look, as this unorthodox police drama will surely force you to stop watching the likes of 'Law & Order' and 'Blue Bloods '.
And don't sleep on British comedy either! Their unique ironic humor and dark jokes will be a pleasant surprise for people who have grown up with American sitcoms.
