procreate Posted September 30, 2015 Share 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?

sncjez Posted September 30, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Luke Posted September 30, 2015 Administrators Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByMgRs Posted October 3, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
