that is true to an extent.
but the question was whether or not there where things produced with high production values outside of 'murica, not what countries watches them, and there very clearly is.

I'll give you that 'murica is the best at exporting their entertainment though.
>>
>>53259485
Japanese actually have some really shit production tbhfam. All the highly rated dramas have poor acting and the camera work and special effects are awful. They feel more similar to spanish dramas.

Korean tele is much better but I'm not learning korean so I hardly see it.

I think France and the U.K are examples of countries with good production without necessarily good budget. India has a pretty large entertainment industry but honestly it is just as shit as their streets.
>>
>>53259770
well, still, sweden is nearing like zero production outside of crappy reality TV.

this is why we top these lists, we're forced to live with your damn entertainment.

I think it's interesting how the countries that are worse at English are also trying harder to produce their own, production values notwithstanding.
