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.
