My negative impression of the contemporary Brits via their crime dramas remains in place. (I know it's about crime, I know it's TV fiction, etc.)
De-racinated people, uprooted, shrunken, lost, obsessively moral but without soul, still trapped in their cramped class resentments, alienated, humorless, and more easily given to anger than any other emotion. Bad dressers, unkempt --or the women dressed and made up like whores-- and not much to look at.
Recent evidence, Vera. Something of a hysteric. And her somewhat handsome younger male acolyte...when not self absorbed, moody and priggish, useless.
Evidence to the contrary, Rosemary & Thyme.
