Of course the Brits aren't the only ones to make a good comedy .............. here's the most recent success from over the pond

There has been a bit of a comedy lull since but things are looking up with recent episodes of Fox News and The Trump Files

I'm from the U.S. but am a big fan of British TV series, especially drama, mystery, and crime. Really like Peaky Blinders, Poldark, Marcella, Happy Valley, Broadchurch, Collateral, Unforgotten, Line of Duty, The Fall, DCI Banks, Wire in the Blood. I think they are far better than U.S. TV of a similar genre. Not a big fan of British comedy, though. Guess as an American I just don't get it, but Benny Hill and Mr. Bean do make me laugh.

I only know of Peaky blinders and Poldark and I guess the Poldark I know is not the remake.
Peaky blinders was great ( the first episode was the only one I saw ) . Anybody have the whole thing on hard drive to share around ?

There are tons of websites where one can stream or download TV shows and movies for free. Just search something like, "watch peaky blinders on line free." You'll get a lot of hits. I usually stick to the ones that are https for security reasons and once you find a site you like, (some work well, others not so well) bookmark it for later. The downside is adds and pop-ups that one has to click through to watch the show, but once you get the hang of it, it only takes a few extra seconds. Popcorn Time is a pretty good free app to download for streaming movies and more recent TV series. No adds or pop-ups.
