All the good TV I have been missing

It might be the nice weather, it might be because I am too absorbed in watching DVDs and trying to get through, but I missed quite a lot of good TV recently. Well, good, I don't know for sure for some of it, but I certainly am missing on program that would interest me, incidentally all of them are from the BBC.

There is Springwatch, which I have been watching this year, but not regularly. It is Autumnwatch's twin program. I like it a lot, but not nearly as much. Question of atmosphere, maybe? Autumn might be a more suitable season for animal watching, for me anyway. In any case, I don't watch Springwatch nearly as much. There is also Luther, which I haven't bothered watching. There is also a series of programs on opera on BB4, which I have been really curious about but never came around to watch them. I sort of hope it's not so good. I hate to miss good TV.

So, have you been missing any good programs lately?

Luther?

I was blogging two days ago about British actors who make it in the US in great TV dramas. And I learned straight afterwards that BBC is producing one big cop drama, Luther, with none other than Idris Elba, the Stringer Bell from The Wire, in the lead role. I have to admit, after lamenting of the poor productions here, this seems to be a good move, at least casting-wise. Let's see if they get more than the casting right and if the series got inspired by American dramas also in the quality of the writing.
