Television Drama

These shows have offered a regular dose of high quality drama. The US produce slick and intelligent serialised entertainment with the Soprano's, Six Feet Under and Nip/Tuck amongst the best. For grittier, realist drama, the British have the edge - Our Friends in the North and This Life are prime examples.
