British Telly

[BigV]

fuuuuuck.

first you tell me to watch Green Wing. I start it, trip the fuck out, and take a break. Now you're telling me I need to do the same with Catastrophe. OOOOOkkkkaaay.

Anyhow.

American tv is a many splendored thing. Mostly crap. Now, to be fair, I stream everything. Literally everything. I stream live the OTA broadcasts of the local channels, and I stream anything else via Netflix, HuluPlus, Crunchyroll, HBOGO, etc. MOSTLY because Fuck You Comcast. I fired them about ten years ago, and I've NEVER looked back with anything approaching a hint of nostalgia. Zip, Nada, Nothin.

Aaaaanywhooo.. I think there's a lot of great stuff out there, and plenty of dreck, but if I was twenty guys, and none of us had jobs or the need for food or toilet breaks, I couldn't watch a significant portion of what's *out there*. I know I can find something entertaining, something substantive, something worth watching without having Comcast sucking my wallet dry each month. My main problem is finding what's worth watching, not, how can I get updated on the most current episode so I can be part of the watercooler conversation.

As far as GB tv goes, I lurve Downton Abbey, via Netflix or PBS. Sherlock, of course. Luther, of course. Happy Valley, of course. I *KNOW* there are others, but I haven't been taking very good notes, sorry.

There is plenty of good stuff outside of British TV, but that's for another thread, right?
