The two best shows I have ever watched are:
Both a pommy crime drams and are superb.
The acting, the writing, the character development are wonderful.
quite importantly the characters both main and minor are shown to have weaknesses as well as strengths. Characters change over time as real life people do.
Possibly most importantly and why British drams are infinitely superior to Yank ones is that any romantic interplay are secondary or even less in the overall story line.
(Indeed I would not mind if they did a new series of Inspector Morse from the Endeavour crew. Shaun Evans is so much better than John Thaw it is not funny. Morse was at Cambridge but on a scholarship but never finished his degree. Watching Shaun Evans you can believe that but few people would believe thaw went anywhere near a University!!)
Now like all series there are criticisms to be made of the storylines or of the characters but they are minor. The two shows are eminently enjoyable and how I need two such shows at the present time.
