We all know that when TV shows are hits in their home country (mostly British and American ones) they often get so many international adaptations, especially game shows, reality shows and even scripted ones. The most famous examples are Pop Idol, Britain's Got Talent, The Price Is Right, Family Fortunes/Feud, Wheel of Fortune, Sasuke, or Fort Boyard for game and reality shows. Top Gear or Pimp My Ride for motoring shows, or Yo Soy Betty La Fea as well as some Disney and Nickelodeon live-action shows for scripted series. Can you name other examples?

It also needs to be simple to use with a simple interface.

So far I've looked at a few like Roku stick, amazon stick, other sticks, but can't find any information about UK versions in particular and if they have the TV guide needed.

I recall some years ago, the made a documentary where UK and USA Police forces visited eachother for like a week or two to compare practices, it was pretty good and opened a lot of eyes.

Can't seem to find it anywhere and have no idea what it was called 🤦

Im looking for something to watch, so I wanna hear your favourites.
I like shows that are fast paced and interesting.
My top two are peaky blinders and game of thrones.

Gomorrah. Extremely violent and only in Italian with subtitles. But utterly superb. Available thru Amazon Prime. Its got a narrative arc like no other. Not like Breaking Bad but it is similar in that takes place over seasons.

Its about two men, friends, who become enemies, who loathe each other but are drawn together. Through mutual understanding, respect and something else that is absolutely not gay (the opposite!) but is a kind of love.

Its a show for men, about men at a time when absolutely no one is making them anymore. If you are sick to death of TV today this is the antidote.

Was a good watch . Kept me binging but I just hate when these shows off good characters or just have the dumbest scenes ever . I’m watching one of the last episodes on Netflix . Dushane Rob’s jaq and as sully chases him . He runs into the kids that sully gave a gun too and the dumb girl sees him running gun in hand and yells “ it’s dushane shoot him !!” 😳 how stupid . Then the kid gets shot she’s on the floor crying saying “ Joe why???!!?? 😂 then Dushane meets up with the two men with smg and instead of them shooting from cover one just walks out in the wide open and shooting at a man whose in cover 🤦‍♂️. How tf do the directors make this nonsense and watch it thinking it’s worthy of keeping ? There’s a ton of other illogical nonsense in this show but as a whole I’d still watch it again if I could go back .
