Kaya, Sherlock and More
Some new Info.
New movie with Kaya in it:
Downton Abbey trailer for season 4, though I think it’s already airing. Do I watch it now or wait for it to come to PBS?
Sherlock returns to PBS on January 19th but I’m thinking it’s already aired in England, damn I should know this stuff.
Any new British telly updates you want to share?
British Series on Netflix
I don’t know about you guys but in order to watch British television in the United States it takes some finness. The 2 main ways I catch my series is on Netflix and Hulu. Here are a list of the British series I know are on Netflix Instant:
Skins
The Inbetweeners
Mistresses
Luther
Peep Show
Sherlock
Black Books
Being Human
I’m sure there are many more than this, in fact I’m certain of it, these are just the ones I can recommend.
Watching: Lark Rise, Robin Hood and Beaver Falls
So we tried out a few different series this weekend, for fun. We tried out Beaver Falls, which we didn’t really like all that much. I don’t know if it was the gross humor (which I really dislike) or if it was that it was located in Los Angeles. Why would I watch a British show that isn’t in Britain? The show wasn’t all that great either, though a couple of the characters had me intrigued but it wasn’t enough. Maybe if the show ends up on Netflix or Hulu I’ll try it a bit more.
We also watched almost one episode of Robin Hood but I’m not sure I gave it enough of a try. The show goes back to 2006 so the production quality isn’t up to shows like Misfits or Sherlock. Still, I love Robin Hood so maybe I’ll try some more of it. I really hate to write shows off so quickly, I like to give a show a bit of a chance. Some of my favorite shows are ones I wasn’t entirely sure about but decided to watch a few more episodes.
Right now we’re watching Lark Rise to Candleford, which I had been planning to try for a while now since I became a fan of Olivia Hallinan from Sugar Rush. The show is pretty great and happens to have one of the actors I happened to like from Beaver Falls, John Dagleish. Period dramas are either a hit or miss with me, I think this show is bordering on hit.
The British Cinematography
One of my favorite things about British television is their artistic quality to their shows. I’m a photographer in my spare time so I can appreciate a really stunning shot that maybe isn’t necessary to the storyline but gives it more emotion. Here are some shots that I love.
