What's a British TV show that the Yanks did better? - eviltoast

I’ll go first…The Office.

Now I know the two shows are fundamentally quite different, but they adapted what was already a very successful show, and turned It into an event more successfully one that lasted for significantly longer than the original did. I say that’s a win for them.

Anything else? Life on Mars, Being Human, The Inbetweeners…?

    LegoMasters started in the UK, right? I’ll take that or the Aussie one over the crap they tried making in the US. I’d rather watch the incredible things people can do with Lego instead of pretend to enjoy the showrunners’ poor attempts at a weekly emotional tug job

      Australian Lego masters is easily the best English language version. I haven’t seen any of the versions in other languages, though.
