reading this board with loads of uk content and often tv content i often dont know what shows and people you are on about. good thing youre linking :) i am amazed that europe´s tv programmes arent really intermingled with each other. i get the odd bbc doc on german tv but hardly any show/series, soap, comedy. there is a few movies and at least one crime show. however uk and uk tv is another planet for me. same goes for any other european country. is the culture of each of our countries specific to an extent as that its too hard to export with subs or dubs? its even hard to find dr who. and i dont even know frances or italys most successful shows names. loads of people watch tv all day or at least everyday. the potential of cultural exploitation aswell as learning about our neighbours is humongous yet almost inexistent. im glad there is "arte" a german/french collab tv station which tries hard on that. do you wish you had more of that? do you have any favourite foreign shows? |

I will say this, as regards the UK. For all the noise you'll here from the people against Brexit, we have VANISHINGLY LITTLE exposure to TV or indeed any culture from Europe. There's no easy access to French, German, Spanish news. We are diseasedly insular. I go to the third world and the basic cable has got at least one channel from the major Euro countries, let alone their own neighbors. It's appalling, fucking appalling, and it's EXACTLY why we're in the state we're in |

my knowledge of foreign tv only extends as far as being aroused by large french muffs on a school trip. that and a swiss channel that seemed to be showing nothing but POV train journeys for hours on end. baffling. i am part of the problem |

ooh I used to see POV train travelogues on Canadian daytime TV on many a stoned teenage summer afternoon. I'd whoop like a loon when they went through a tunnel. |

There's loads of euro shows on Netflix, I always watch them, the French are very good at schlocky thrillers with supernatural elements |

Used to be tons of european garbage channels on british sky TV when it first started as you could tune it to whatever you wanted. It was no benefit. Tv is shit in any language, for any audience, largely due to the greed and formulaic insistence of its investors. Be grateful for the cheap disingenuous interaction it gives you. |

certainly tv is mostly garbage and pretty much anything else is worth your time. plus the most valuable programmes are political stand-ups which are practically impossible to translate due to its witty use of language and even if you surpass the language barrier youre likely to miss the point half of the time if youre not into the local media and politics. the stations that are free to watch changed a lot over time in germany. stone age antenna gave you british cnn, mtv, sometimes dutch channels maybe due to me living close to the border, plus trt a turkish station which played mainly talking people and traditional music. it will stay forever in my memory as ridiculously bassy and overdriven. in dutch television they used to show foreign movies with dutch subs and original dubbing, which is maybe a clue to the fantastic english they speak. good to know theres stuff on netlfix, im still without paying a dime for tv, never paid for cable, and was a leech, but maybe that is about to change in the future. from watching german news i mainly hear about foreign elections a few times a year. the odd scandal with them involved and sometimes actual law changes, but the discussions that are being held in our neighbour countries. no idea... |

Ur right that I never see any European comedy though, except for the occasional movie. Never seen the Dutch equivalent of The Young Ones or the Portuguese Brass Eye for example. |

Ah yeah have to add Marianne to my watchlist. I've put the eurogoth stuff on hold this week because the missus has me watching the Paul Rudd cloning thing. It's good, reminds me of something Charlie Kaufman would write. |

I watch tv, selectively. I like that today you have a vast array of choice that you can watch whenever. I watch European and UK telly. Mostly UK. |

A weird show. I'm 7 episodes in, and yet I don't feel it's gripping me. But I also won't stop watching it. Rudd is goooooood, btw, I genuinely forget he's playing both roles most of the time.. also never really think "how did they do that", which is a good sign. |
