To be fair a bunch of the “prestige” British dramas gives me the impression y’all a bunch of miserable dudes over there. Broadchurch, The Bodyguard, Luther, Marcella … stuffs so bleak.

BBC itself just makes me think of comedies already. The Young Ones, Faulty Towers, Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Mighty Boosh and probably way more I'm forgetting.

Even Jonathan Creek was a light hearted murder mystery show about a magician that solved crimes.

They have a good track record with this stuff so it's good to go back to their roots but it's such a weird way to describe their plan

It’s awesome. Well written and well acted. Better than the mindless reality dreck that permeates American tv.
