The best films from recent years have been foreign language ones, such as the Lives of Others.

Production standards have improved so much that TV drama series are way ahead now. In a 12 episode series, over sya 5 years, you have 60 episodes.
That is 60 hours to tell a story, as opposed to 2 hours.

Downton Abbey is pretty good I think and it is a BBC/PBS co-production. It seems to be successful so maybe we will see more of that.
