"There’s a battle going on in the media industry, and you might not know it exists. Aside from the pointless ad breaks that their channels seem to have every three minutes, America creates some top content. On the opposite side of the spectrum, aside from the cheap budget of pretty much all the television shows that are not reality, even Britain can produce it’s fair share of producing brilliance. But alas, which English speaking territory creates the better programs?"
Deliver Me Review: The Swedish series follows two troubled teen and their troublesome lives when one of them is shot dead.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Brigands: The Quest For Gold Review: The Italian drama follows a group of brigands, embarking on a journey to reclaim power and some hidden gold.
They didn't really list a lot of good examples for American tv, I really don't know much about British tv but I couldn't imagine they have anything better than breaking bad.
Game of Thrones. Nuff said!
So i guess drama is a niche genre now or something, cus it wasn't listed in the article.
Also, how could they not name Louie? It is the freaking gold standard of contemporary tv comedy. That along with Breaking Bad and of course Game of Thrones pretty much crap on most british tv. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Sherlock and I really dig Luther, but Britain's got nothing on good American tv.
I'm English. Our TV is pure pap. We don't have the budgets the yanks do. Like most people around the globe, I greatly dislike America. But their good TV is better, pretty much purely because of production values. On the flip side their bad TV shows are worse than our bad TV shows.
Yeah. I shoulda mentioned Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead.
My bad.
