procreate Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 So looking for some more shows from across the pond. We loved Misfits, now we just started Skins. Fresh Meat was fairly funny. InBetweeners. There were a few others I can't remember the name to. Any recommendations from fellow members from UK for more dirty, edgy and liberal tv shows than US is allowed to put out?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 30, 2015 Administrators Posted September 30, 2015 Peep Show is really good you could try that
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted September 30, 2015 Administrators Posted September 30, 2015 Yeah peep show, also blackadder seasons 2,3,4 they're much older (I believe 80s) but still good imho
sncjez Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Also 80s if you can understand our variety of different accents Auf Wiedersehen Pet season 1 and 2 they don't make characters like Oz anymore :D
RADDY1993 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Cant beat a bit of Minder or the Sweeny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpBxUqZ86p4
Administrators Netduma Luke Posted September 30, 2015 Administrators Posted September 30, 2015 You can't get much edgier than Brass Eye. So politically incorrect it eventually got cancelled. Very funny though. You need to watch the Office (UK version) too. Best UK comedy of my lifetime. As others have said, Peep Show is great too.
procreate Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 We got maybe 15 minutes into peep show before getting bored, then found skins so currently binging on that one. Maybe need to give peep show another go when in a different mood. Is Utopia any good? Shameless? This is England? Spaced? The Fades? Not necessarily looking for comedy, some of the shows we like don't fall into a category we have in US (sitcom/drama/crime/etc) we like the no excuses shows with no after school life lessons attached to them like US tends to do. That and general foul language that's not allowed in US.
toby jugs Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 shameless is hilarious mate get involved
Macca65 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 If you want something totally of the wall and not mainstream try The League of Gentlemen it's the same 4 guys that play a variety of oddball characters, but might not travel, the humour I mean But I thinks it's hilarious
MadBrad Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Skins season 3 starts incredibly shit but its gets better, stick with it!
procreate Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 we are just in season 1 so far, love the way they did the show how it focuses on the different characters.
Newnsy Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I loved spaced If you like older stuff - The young ones, only fools and horse, Faulty Towers, Newer stuff - IT Crowd, Black Books, Spaced, Monty Python, The Thick of it (Political)
RolidSnake Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 You can't beat a bit of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace! I second the shouts on Red Dwarf, League of Gentlemen, IT Crowd, Peep Show and Spaced!If you love League of Gentlemen, then you'll also like Psycoville.
mark Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Shameless is definitely worth a watch Life on Mars This is England Bad girls
ByMgRs Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Mad dogs is one of my favourite series (the older series not the new one made this year as it is completely different) here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1652218/ and life on mars and ashes to ashes are both fab
