    As an American, what foreign shows am I missing?

    I absolutely loved the following:
    Luther(UK)
    Misfits(UK)
    ReGenesis(Canada)
    The Fades(UK)
    Being Human(UK, the american version is kind of shit so far)
    The Listener(Canada, but it wasn't great)
    Lost Girl(Canada)
    Life on Mars(UK)
    Ashes to Ashes(UK, but it wasn't as good as life on mars)
    Doctor Who(UK)
    Torchwood(was UK, but they kind of fucked up this past season on STARZ)

    I know I must be missing a lot of great TV here, so someone fill me in.

    I've heard Charlie Jade is pretty good(South Africa)

    I also enjoyed the Aussie Wilfred after watching the American adaptation with the same actor as the dog.

        Is there actually an on going series for Life on Mars from the UK? I know it aired in the US but was only for 1 season if I'm not mistaken.
        In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

            it was 2 series in the UK i think and then they followed it up with 2 series(seasons) of Ashes to Ashes which took place in the 80s.

            Also, the brits do things differently with tv. They do 6-12 episodes of a show a year and usually have that show run 2-3 years max with a few exceptions like Doctor Who.

              Does croatia even show anything other than half decent movies from America in the mid 1980's?

                  I agree with you 100% about Torchwood, i was a fan of the show but only watched 20 mins tops of the latest series.

                  Sherlock is worth watching BTW and if it gets shown over there, Whitechapel.

                            The IT crowd is brilliant... But season two and three are much better than one... So stick with it.

                                      Agreed and you can see a lot of it on youtube as you can also with the inbetweeners which is also great UK comedy.

                                                It's a pretty good show about a flu that struck and took out like 98% of the population. Almost has the feel of a zombie show like The Walking Dead, but no zombies.

                                                  All time best show for me...they ended their 10 season run this year.
                                                  A UK colleague has suggested this to me also.

                                                  I'm leaning more towards sci-fi ish stuff which has led me to a show called Charlie Jade that only lasted a season (20 eps) that I'll give a shot. Apparently its from 2005ish and is about a PI who jumps between 3 parallel universes. It seems a bit out there, but eh.

                                                  Survivors sounds like something that I'll probably give a shot too.

                                                      Is there anything good coming out of Australia? Aside from Wilfred? I saw that on IFC and the american remake featuring the same actor on FX.

                                                      Also on IFC, and I assume some UK channel: The increasingly poor decisions of Todd Margeret(I could be off on the title) is pretty good. I love David Cross.

                                                                          It's as good as, if not better than Luther,

                                                                          Also check out a BBC show called Murphys Law (Seasons 3 - 5) I'd say it's even better than Luther.

                                                                          Spooks is excellent up until around Season 6, then the standard drops significantly.

                                                                          I'll post more in the New Year
