These days, English TV shows are gaining more and more popularity. I have a shrewd suspicion that I have started this blog a little too bluntly, but the shift is subtle, yet can be felt. I don't whether to be happy, or to feel unfortunate to have been part of the same wave. But it is happening, and for now, my decision seems good. The fact with these shows are that they seem so different from each other. I am a huge fan of Sherlock, the Jeremy Brett one, as evident from one of my earlier posts. And in the same post, I also professed my liking for his modern day successor, Benedict Cumberbatch. His acting prowess are out of this world and he seems to bask under the pressures surmounted over him, for he is playing one of the greatest literary characters of all time. Not to mention the high standards set by his predecessor, Jeremy Brett. Martin Freeman also oozes class while playing Watson. Perhaps the best actor to play the doctor. There is something so sophisticated, no, not sophisticated, but a polished air  about the show. An excellent TV show, with actors who make you watch them again and again. Another show worth watching is Psych. James Roday is the fake psychic Shawn, who along with his friend, Gus, played by an effective Dule Hill, help solve crimes in the Santa Barbara district. The show is comical, nonsensical, but it is difficult not to love it. Juliet and Lassiter act as an encouraging supporting cast, and it is probably the best comedy TV show I have seen till now after Friends. These two shows are worth your time. People may have heard of Sherlock, but Psych is just as brilliant. Hats off.
