the show is rubbish, but appeals to the crowd that enjoys
peep show i guess, the way you can hear their thoughts.
listening to them think starts to bug me. contrast it with the
masterful inner monologue you get in goodfellas, for instance,
and it's like night and day.
us and uk shows are different. it's complex to compare them
as they are slices of different cultures. so where the uk has
miraculous shows like have i got news for you, qi, parkinson,
dr. who, planet earth, unreported world, dispatches, grumpy
guides, top gear, and extras, in the us these never get made.
it's unimaginable at this point to think would be, and that's
a shame because we are wasting a lot of our talent and failing
to expose government/corporate hypocrisy.
in the usa, we do a good job with decadent society themed shows,
ever since a clockwork orange, hill street blues, and the bad
lieutenant set the edgy tone that wannabe movie directors would
experiment with in tv format. so you get the shield, sopranos,
and all those shows, plus west wing, 30rock, friends, battlestar,
lost, whatever. yea we both have hits, just different, with
a much bigger budget.
