I may not have been clear, but with some fabulous exceptions, British TV tends to be so... paced, maybe? that it ends up feeling wrapped in cotton. Much like barely-treated depression; hence the Prozac description. I'm mostly deaf these days, so everything I watch is subtitled. The silver lining is that getting used to Closed Captions opened up worldwide TV - it no longer matters what the original language is as long as it's got titles. So a few years ago I started a Cop Shows 'Round The World tour. Russian (I include the old USSR satellites) TV is a pure, unpadded descent into a hopeless trudge through hell. Any series that involves madness - "Metod" if you can find it - is a whole other level of crazy. I love it. Doc
