List #34: British TV Dramas to Watch on Hulu (for free)


If you're a bit hungover from spendiness and manic good cheer, try these.

(A few weeks ago, we had a similar list of comedies. In case you feel like a laugh.)


1. Misfits

5 key words: delinquent youths, probation, superpowers, snark

Representative quote:
"What if we are meant to be, like, superheroes?"
"You lot, superheroes? No offence, but in what kind of fucked-up world would that be allowed to happen?"


2. NY-LON

5 key words: New York, London, Jones, Moyer

Representative quote: "Have you noticed something about the girls Mike goes for? They're either mad or unavailable, all of them. This American girl ... I mean, she's mad and unavailable. It's like his perfect woman."


3. Queer as Folk

5 key words: here, queer, friends, family, controversy

Representative quote:
"You're straight, you don't know anything."
"I'm black. And I'm a girl. Try that for a week."


4. Shameless (Rec. #14)

5 key words: council estate, siblings, crime, chaos

Representative quote: "I had to wait 4 hours at A & E 'cause of someone queue hopping! Who cares if he was shot? He shot himself. Some people are so selfish."


5. Teachers

5 key words: school staff, smoking, drinking, swearing

Representative quote: "Bob's always got Valium, if you're desperate. And my year twelves can get you some smack, if you threaten them with suspension."


6. Ultraviolet (Rec. #212)

5 key words: secret government organization, vampires, police

Representative quote: "Our free range days are over."
