Missus made me start watching the Crown on Netflix and im almost ashamed to say I have gotten quite into it.
I understand a lot of it is "poetic license", there is no way the real royal family could be that interesting.
Princess Margaret was quite a minx in her day though, plus a hottie (both in RL and the actress who plays her).

My daughter dragged me to watch the latest Jurassic Park movie last weekend, which was utter ****e.
They roped in the original cast to go along with the Younger ones from the last few movies and its utterly contrived, plus idealistic and garbage.
I know the movie was about dinosaurs but I didnt think they meant Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern were the dinosaurs.
Still think the first JP from 1993 is the only great one. The second one was fun I guess but felt a little straight to Video. Everything after that just shouldnt have been made.....but the dollar always wins! Its like them ****ing Transformers movies, as long as they keep making cash, they will keep pumping them out.

I never met a single person who liked those Transformers movies (minus the scene with Megan Fox's arse) yet everytime they made a new one, it would make 750m+ at the box office!
Yeah The Crown is really good been on it from the start.

Fast and Furious gotta be the best (worst) example of it.

What started out as a street racing film has turned into cars up against tanks, submarines, flying through buildings and going into ****ing space, not forgetting Vin Diesel is also seemingly as strong as superman whilst those who die, don't actually die...

Best series ever made, bar none.
Well bar The Sopranos, Boardwalk empire, Breaking bad, Game of Thrones, Our friends in the North, Boys from the Black stuff, True Detective, The Bridge and Chorlton and the wheelies.

The Sopranos - An argument could be made for this, ill concede
Boardwalk Empire - Nah, Last season was awful
Breaking Bad - *sigh* See above
Game of Thrones - Seasons 7 and 8 are two of the worst seasons of television ever produced, not even close to being on par with the Wire
Our Friends in the North, Boys from the Black Stuff, The Bridge, Chorlton and the Wheelies (<laugh>) - Never heard of them, as a rule if I havent heard of a show, its ****
True Detective - Season 1 was amazing, everything after that sucked balls

What!

You've never seen Our Friends in the North and Boys from the Black stuff!

Two of British TV's finest moments!

And yet you know all about Yankee TV!

I put it to you then, sir that your assertion that the Wire is the best bar none has, by your own admission, been made rashly and without the warranted information to make such a brash statement.

You sir are in no position to talk such drivel.

Get yourself gone!

@luvgonzo see this imposter off my good man.

pfft, Boys from the Black Stuff was made before i was born, in my defence (after looking it up).
But regardless, I would propose that any show produced by a British studio is instantly disqualified from being in the run in by virtue of the fact that Britain cannot make good drama TV, or very rarely.
Sitcoms we excel, Only Fools, Fawlty Towers, The Office, Inbetweeners, Porridge, all classics,
But when it comes to dramatic TV, the best the UK has to offer is ****e like Broadchurch.
That may have been different in the 70's and 80's, but not of late I am afraid.

How very dare you, have you lost your wits man!

Wasn't Broadchurch remade by the Americans?

What about Sherlock, State of play, The thick of it, Silent witness, Skins, Shameless(also stolen by the Yanks)?

As I said, you're not equipped to be making such sweeping statements. Come back when you're pistols are loaded, then we'll dance Hombre.
 
Stolen and improved tenfold, by the yanks, I might add.

Thats an exception though, not the rule, their remakes of The Office, Skins and inbetweeners were duff.
No danger!

Brit Shameless is far better than Yank Shameless.

What is wrong with you.

The Wire is pretty much the best and I've seen Our Friends from the North (I just don't like Eccleston) and Boys From the Black Stuff. <laugh>

So I'm there backing him and he goes and chats **** about British TV dramas, British Shameless is far superior and then we can also add This Is England, Top Boy (Summerhouse) and The Virtues to the list you already posted up.

First three or four Line of Duties were very good.

Currently watching Sherwood, on the 4th one right now.

Nothing wrong with British drama.

Comedy drama wise, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet series 1 & 2, is best ever made.

I found it hilarious how Line of Duty became mega popular just when it turned ****.
