20 of YOUR Fave TV Imports

''My absolute favorite foreign series has to be Skins from the U.K. It's smart, funny, and dramatic, and it is an honest portrayal of teenage life.'' —NickyB

''The teens on that show are hands down the most damaged and resilient kids on TV right now. Somehow the show is over-the-top and real and honest at the same time.'' —alibnyc

''By far, my favorite foreign series is Torchwood. It's bold in its social interactions, has great sci-fi storytelling, and a compelling cast.'' —Corran

''Torchwood! Irresistible Captain Jack, adorable Ianto, squeaky little Gwen, annoying Owen, brilliant Tosh, and occasionally the impeccable Martha Jones and whining Rhys all working together to 'arm the human race against the future.' Plus, the mystery of the Face of Boe. You can't top that!'' —Yoja

''Slings and Arrows is definitely in the top spot, but I also really love Gavin & Stacey from across the pond.'' —ags

''Slings and Arrows was without a doubt one of the funniest shows I have ever seen.'' —alibnyc

''Doctor Who. Hands down.'' —Lauren

''Absolutely Fabulous!'' —UNCGRL

''Being Human: About a werewolf, vampire, and ghost living in a council flat in London battling evil/themselves. So badass.'' —Sandra

''I think my all-time favorite, however, has to be Blackadder.'' —LEW

''And Degrassi: TNG. Obvi. Although, yes, it hasn't been the same since Craig... (or Sean, or Jimmy...)'' —JackJack

''I miss Degrassi: The Next Generation (The Older Generation). Blows my mind that Drake (the rapper) was Jimmy (the teenage boy) in Degrassi. Also, Craig...I still dream about him. Even though he was all coke-y and cheated on Ashley with Manny (ew), still loved him.'' —Elena

''I admit as a Degrassi old-school person I still watch Degrassi: TNG. But as for my favorite, The Kids in the Hall.'' —Stephanie T.

''Footballers Wive$, Mistresses, Hex, Degrassi, Torchwood, and Being Human.'' —Carmen

''Oops. Forgot my top favorite, Life on Mars, and the canceled-too-soon Wire in the Blood.'' —Barb

''The original BBC version of Life on Mars is utterly terrific.'' —homerox13

''I love Being Erica. Season 2 had an amazing finale.'' —Chelsea

''Secret Diary of a Call Girl! Very well done.'' —chicadarina

''Almost forgot — Secret Diary of a Call Girl...'' —lyregal

''Kath and Kim, for sure!'' —Pauch

''My favorite has to be Prime Suspect, absolutely. Helen Mirren is always superb, but this was the role that really catapulted her to international acclaim, and deservedly so. I can always watch it, and it never ages.'' —Gavin

''Doctor Who, The Inbetweeners, Gavin & Stacey, Survivors ... basically I just love the BBC.'' —JH

''Vicar of Dibley, Keeping up Appearances, Are You Being Served?'' —Jim

''Seriously, has nobody else mentioned Monty Python's Flying Circus? That and Cracker top my list!'' —Blk47rs

''The Inbetweeners is one of the funniest shows on TV right now. It's what a British Judd Apatow TV series might look like.'' —Joseph

''I can't believe that no one has mentioned Spaced! It's just brilliant and spoke directly to me and my fellow Gen-Xers. Love Simon Pegg. Love Jessica Hynes (Stevenson).'' —Steph
