Ah. British. No wonder. Sorry. We get British soap
opera junk like Downton Abbey, and fake ethnic
Irish bands singing Danny Boy, on our PBS in the US.
I guess probably because it's cheap or free. Also
because there's a weird Anglophile cult among
American self-appointed highbrow types. Anything
said in a British accent is thought to be well thought
out.

...and yet we in the USA frequently steal British programming, to produce
shows such as “House of Cards”, “All in the Family”, and “The Office”.

Then there are the very good BBC series such as “Hinterland”, and
“Shetland” which are available on Netflix and/or Amazon Prime. Add
Scandinavian series such as “The Killing”, “The Bridge”, and “Wallander”
which made it to the BBC in their original form, and made it to the US as
American productions.

All good shows and better watched in their British form as PBS and BBC
America CENSOR them. American religious maniacs think Jesus tells them to.


PBS is actually OK for much of the imported content they show.
Unfortunately BBC America does much more damage with commercial breaks
rather than any sort of censorship.

Hence Netflix, and/or Amazon Prime for most of that stuff is the way to go,
if you couldn’t be bothered to access the BBC, and iPlayer via a VPN.
