Basic, but perfect for American's that cannot seem to get past primetime television and are BRI-curios. "The Stranger", which was directed by the same brilliant director, was incredible. The bakers on the Great British Baking Show have better on screen presence than newer generation (and some older.. i.e. Nicholas Cage) American actors. This show is perfect for Brit TV virgins. Nothing beats British Television/Film when it comes to diversity and versatility.
I believe this this why they create incredible and realistic magic on screen. Don't watch it for the writing, watch it for the acting (fir the most part)! I am excited to see Richard Armitage, Eddie Izzard and Sarah Parish on screen again. All of these actors are beautifully trained, but still... Sarah Parish! I love that woman! She is my British Jessica Lange. They both frighten and intrigue me. There is nothing sexier than that it my world.
