I find British TV just as crap with the exception of BBC. They have created some fantastic shows. Luther for example.
TBH we don't have much apart from the BBC. There are four other channels, but C4 get it right from time to time and so do ITV.
What we don't do is add things on for extra drama. Like storage lockers with nothing in them and right at the back there's a £6000 clock. It has been proven it's all BS.
That's an American habit and always was and always will be. That and "reality" TV which is far from real, where they sit and say everyone is fake.
In fact, I hate that saying period.
And I agree about the BBC. When it comes to making proper, real life drama they are the best at it. Doctor Foster was amazing, and I like Master Chef. In fact, that is the only reason I pay my TV license (Master Chef). If it weren't for that I'd pull the antenna completely.
C5 are just about demonising people on benefits and the disabled and people with 80 kids, and C4 only have a couple I like (24 hours in A&E and 24 hours? might be 48, in police custody).
