Top ten Non-US tv shows

Of course, it doesn’t represent us even vaguely.

yep that whole middle class rural utopia is entirely fantasy, which is why Bake Off and Antiques Roadshow work so well.

I've watched Black Adder too, still funny. Seasons 1 and 2 are classis of the genre, 3 is good but I didnt find 4 as amusing

I think there are some really good series that only got one season in the UK (which is usually six or so episodes). Some you might be able to find streaming, I'm listing ones that are good inspiration for RPGs. Some examples

Ultraviolet (1998) - Cop discovered a government backed vampire hunting unit after his partner goes missing, starring Jack Davenport and Idris Elba.

Apparitions (2008) - Father Jacob a priest that vets miracles to see if people are suitable for sainthood, gets involved in an exorcism and a battle between good and evil.

In The Flesh (got two seasons! 2013/14) - Flows a recovered zombie, trying to adjust to life after the apocalypse and the discovery of a cure.

I have.

Same still funny but sone of the jokes have not aged well Eg Earl of Doncaster.


While younger I got the WW1 stuff but Tudor era and Elizabethan era not to widely known here. I don't remember it being taught at school.

“Middle class” is a vastly broader spectrum than that. Not that that term has meant anything in decades. I’d say I’m middle class, but I’ve never baked anything in a tent. It’s a very nostalgic version of like the 1930s projected into modern day as “British”. It’s like us watching The Unrouchables.

The UK seems to be pretty well covered at this point. How about Canada?

Kids in the Hall
Letterkenny
The Red Green Show
Schitt's Creek (not my favorite, but very popular)

Also, anime was mentioned, but let's not forget Australian animation: Bluey.

Ultraviolet was great. I think I've got the DVD.
