The Second British Invasion

TV Programmes
الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية

First it was the Beatles and the Rolling Stones that successfully invaded the North American shores and won the hearts of many fans – now it’s television shows and movies.

At any given time, you can find 100-200 British TV shows and 100 movies on Netflix. Amazon boasts over 150 British shows on Amazon Prime and there is a healthy collection airing on Hulu. For the diehard fans, there’s BritBox. 

Actors Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard pop up everywhere on British imports; sometimes as British and sometimes as North American, testimonial to their acting talents. 

Is there a difference between British and North American content? Not that I can tell. While the number of episodes varies the content doesn’t feel significantly different. Funny is funny no matter what the accent.
