      Hell no!
      TTOI is a bloody masterpiece.
      Honestly.
      To me it's in the sacred group of;
      father ted
      Alan partridge
      The office
      Black adder

      Forgot a few but it was absolutely awesome
      veep is my fav USA comedy ever.
      Great to see how the Brits have been directing it.
      That's why it's so unique to what has been on American channels before.

      I'd include Veep in your first list mate. I thinkit really is that good.

      How has it been perceived over there then?

      Yanks took abit of time but absolutely love it now....well the ones which are actually aware of comedy beyond mainstream network channels.
      HBO has done a top job and let TTOI team just get on with it and do what they want
      Get awards and is loved.

      Just finished i think....watched them all...not sure if it was series 3 though.

      To add to my prior list of top Brit comedies:
      Drop The Dead Donkey
      Peep Show
      The League of Gentlemen
      Fawlty Towers

      Love Peep Show....it's on Hulu over here so you can have a marathon all day watching session and totally immerse yourself in it.
      Never ever disappoints.

      Series 1 & 2 aren't as good as the others...it gets better BUT worth watching just so you get all the context.

      Anyone here watch The Walking Dead? Moved house for a few weeks in work and ended up in a house with no working aerial or internet. Invested in the first series to pass time. It was alright, got the second series in hope that it picks up. So far, it's been disappointing, does it get any better or am I at nothing?

      Now up to date with Suits, i have started watching House Of Cards which is just as good if not better.

      Kevin Spacey's character is brilliant and he really does it justice, the way he addresses the audience is brilliant too.

      I thought Dexter was very good until it inevitably petered out after a big studio got hold of it.

      anyone seen Falling Skies?

      My lad got them for me as I like those post apocalypse type things.

      Pretty good so far,

      been watching season 4, 3rd season wasn't as great but change of story a bit certainly helped!

      Love House of Cards, the new series isn't out until next year or something isn't it?
      Kevin Spacey is worthy of outing Walter White just this once (Breaking Bad), I love addressing the viewer stuff too, tried describing it to people but they can't fathom how good it is to have the main character inform the audience like that.
      It requires patience though and the viewer needs to pay attention.
      Because it's a netflix exclusive I started watching Hemlock Grove too (netflix made), I like it n all that but I want it to be over, got a few more to watch.

      Yeah at first i disliked him addressing the audience but as the series went on, i wanted to know what his thoughts were more and more to anticipate his next move. I still haven't finished the second series yet, need to get back on it.
