This explains it fairly well. http://www.reddit.com/r/answers/comments/zrcx2/why_do_canadian_and_british_tv_shows_look/c672gpt


Breaking Bad is the must see show for everyone.

fascinating :O I used to be afraid to go to reddit but in the last few days I've found so many interesting things there!

[kaijinscendre]

Reddit is all about where you go. Avoid most of the default subs and you will have a great time!

Thanks for that.

Though it doesn't explain the lack of variety in non-American/Canadian shows. But I think that's just due to lack of money. Like German television can only afford to make soap operas, cop shows, talk shows and that's it. You will never see a space opera from Germany. Not enough money.

Could just be what audiences prefer (or what studios think audiences prefer).

Well, there was Raumpatrouille Orion, which I think cost about the same as the pilot episode Star Trek. In total.

And on the British side, Blake's 7 was literally made on the budget of a cop show. They had the same budget as the previous show in their slot. Of course, that did show rather terribly in the SFX, but they did a lot with what they had.

Ha, I was just about to link this, when I saw your reply. For anybody interested - here's Ep1 with English subtitles:

Seconding Blake's 7. Hasn't been a show like it since.

"But I think that's just due to lack of money."

Yes, that's the reason.
Most countries only have the local audience and have to compete against American (and some times Canadian and British) shows that have the whole word as an audience.
It's normal that they stick to the safe (aka do stuff they know their audience like) and that they don't have a big budget.

I must not be everyone, then, because I saw a few eps and didn't see the appeal.

Is that link down? I literally can't get it to load at all.
