   The biggest issue I have is finding out about foreign shows.. the main source   
   is hit or miss, and is still rather US centric.   
      
   I'll look at it....   
      
   I am at fault as well for not simply just checking the BBC, ITV, ch4 etc.   
   sites to find things.

   I know there is some sort of connection with BBCA and BBC and $$$ and then the   
   BBC decided they didn't or couldn't fund it alone, an no one else came   
   forward...   
      
      
    DW> I dunno... AMC also had Mad Men,   
      
   This is there real true MEGA HIT... Hendricks!!!! YUMMMMM!   
      
    DW> and they still have Halt & Catch Fire.   
      
   I liked, and then went to OK with HCF... I main things:   
      
   1) Female cast is LACKING by my standards   
      
   2) Too much romance!!! BLECH!   
      
   3) Female cast is LACKING by my standards   
      
   4) They got away from the TECH side.. I am more interested in that having   
   lived through it, and having CBM's and more.... :) :) Umm thats why I am ON   
   FidoNet in 2016!!! :) :)   
      
      
      
    DW> Those are cerebral.   
      
   Not as cerebral as Rubicon was.. but I think there was $$$ issues there too...   
      
    DW> I am with you on the zombie junk, though... not for me.   
      
   This is like the other crap reality junk I'd like a time machine to go back   
   and kill that and the zombie crap off!   
      
    DW> Karen is the bomb, for sure. Scottish Redhead, at that.   
      
      
   DING!!!! DOUBLE POINTS!!!! :) :) ;)   
      
    DW> Looking forward to that one.   
      
   You need to be into the whole royal history thing... Its not a historical   
   thing.. but having an interest in it helps, and like I've said... Coleman is a   
   cutie! :)   
      
      
    DW> I suspect, but don't know, that there will be another spinoff in that   
    DW> lineage, like Lewis was handing off to the tall, brooding partner of his.   
      
   I think that WAS the plan... but I recall reading something about the actor   
   there not wanting to continue or something... I am not sure...   
      
      
    DW> Is Endeavour over or just off until next season?   
      
   I've not heard... officially... I am not sure how far this was to go...   
      
    DW> Hope that was not the last   
    DW> but was worried it might be. IMHO, I saw no reason to kill that one off if   
    DW> that was it. That one is my favorite of the 3. Too soon.   
      
   Frost & Morse were like addictions, no ARE addictions for me.. as are most UK   
   crime shows... like Happy Valley etc... about the only thing that got a flunk   
   was that whole african womens detective thing.. BLECH!   
      
    DW> Love Doc Martin. Actually, the receptionist had "moved on" to a sitcom   
    DW> while   
    DW> more than one show. There is another that left us too soon...   
      
   Yeah I noticed she showed up elsewhere pretty quick.. as a UK actor I think   
   she is more well regarded in the UK than the US... although with Humans she   
   may be getting more love in the US.   
      
    DW> The IT Crowd.   
      
   That seemed to be an "Office" clone or ripoff or 'ish.... and I didn't care   
   for that either... So I guess it didn't clue me to it...
