Again, I apologize for the snark when this was posted in the comment thread. From the response, my comment read a lot more aggressively than I meant it.

I am genuinely interested in what new shows you’re aware of or if you’re just being hyperbolic for the sake of FS.

'Able' and 'willing' are two different things.

They're perfectly able to produce good television, but why would they willingly do so when fake reality bollocks and poverty porn is where the profits are?

The problem with reality TV is that it's relatively cheap to make, unlike regular programs where you need to cast actual actors, have a script, etc. It also attracts a lot of attention and views, so from a business angle it's more bang for your buck. Which is really unfortunate because it's mostly hot garbage.

Exactly this. During the writers strike in the early 2000s, networks substituted reality shows for the usual cheap sitcoms, and found out that the reality shows cost a lot less to produce than the cheap sitcoms, and people would still watch them.

the only reality shows I like are the food oriented ones

I'm sorry, but there is a special place in Hell reserved for the executives that greenlit "Come Dine With Me". A special, deep, place.

[greghousesgf]

I've never seen that one so I don't have an opinion on it.

[(Anonymous)]

I like some of the food oriented ones, like Halloween Wars, Chopped or Food Truck Race, where people have to show off a skill that they have, or it's about learning skills.

OP do you mean nothing good has been produced for "British TV" since June 2000?
Was UK Big Brother uniquely bad? Did (eg) TV production companies in the US suffer the same decline?
In 25 years of television production nothing good has appeared on British screens? Not a fan of Adam Curtis? David Attenborough? Taskmaster? Green Wing? Stath Lets Flats? Line of Duty?

[(Anonymous)]

I was going to just ignore this one but I’m amazed at how much truly incredible entertainment you’ve missed in the last 25 years. Life on Mars, Luther, Broadchuch, Downton Abbey, State of Play, This is England, and thousands of more hours of some of the best visual storytelling in history have all been produced since then.

But...there's been so much TV since then that is both scripted and well-done?
