I don't think there are any.
i watched the Inbetweeners a couple months ago and thought it was the greatest thing. then, i stumbled upon Peep Show. I've watched all the available seasons 5 times already and it's still not old.

We false started on The Shield a couple months back, but dove back in the other day. A couple episodes left in season 1.

It's good, but not great thus far. Does it get better?

I quite enjoy the original concept and the humour of Peep Show. I just keep missing it when it's on TV. I'll just have to get all the series on DVD.

Ha, I have no idea. I would assume the instant service is available as it's the internet and what not, but you know what they say about assuming.

They have crazy download caps in that part of the world. Netflix seems... impractical

I just checked, and on accessing the site I get this: "Sorry, Netflix is not available in your country yet."

I could probably use a VPS as a proxy or something, but I can't really be arsed.

Tell me about it. I've only got a pissweak 200GB per month. It's like living in the stone ages.

Sarge, I've been using Netflix for about six months via the Hola extension for Chrome. You should give it a look.

Last time I checked most (If not all) Peep show episodes were up on YouTube. It's definitely worth whatever effort you have to put in to watch it.

It has. The last 2 or 3 episodes of season 1 started to get better.
