Everything about the Brits is fascinating, be it their royalty, their accent, their history, their quaintness or their TV shows. British TV shows have captured the imagination of the English-speaking world for decades with great storytelling and nuanced performances. In a world where Hollywood perfection is the norm, British Drama stands out bringing to fore a more human image that adapts well to vulnerable and distinct characters. British TV is often a celebration of quintessential British delights like their legendary dry wit, their cultural quirks, their genteel aristocracy and undiluted snapshots of British eccentricity.

Here are 5 quick reasons why we love British television:
THE STORY MATTERS
British shows typically have shorter seasons than their American counterparts. They do not extend the script to meet the demand of the networks. They are dedicated to tell the story as well and as succinctly as it can possibly be told. A great example of this is Maigret, a two-part show that is set in 1950’s Paris where a serial killer is targeting women in the seedy district of Montmartre.
REALISTIC CHARACTERS
British characters are rarely picture perfect. Here the character is not adapted to suit the actor but the actor adapts to suit the character. British dramas dominate with their superior performances as the actors here are often not the handsomest or the most beautiful but they do suit the part.
THE LITERARY FACTOR
British drama is very often inspired and adapted from literature, old and new. From age old classics to brand new novellas, they’ve done it all and they’ve done it well. Be it bringing alive Mr. Darcy or showcasing the story of Ian Fleming, the man behind the worlds most loved British spy, the honesty and creativity of British productions is unparalleled.
UNCENSORED
Unlike the US and India, the British have fewer censorship constraints which allows them to have more originality and keep their shows as close to reality as possible. The British adopt a more relaxed approach to censorship and have no boundaries for the content chosen for the scripts Which often makes their shows gritty, very real and terribly entertaining to watch.
THE DRY BRITISH WIT
Any popular British show would be incomplete without the distinctive British humour. Be it a drama, thriller, romance or comedy, the dry British wit seeps into every script adding that delectable flavour to the show. While Brit shows are not high on excessive dramatics, they are very big on nuanced dialogue and a quick wit to keep the audience entertained.
