British TV shows

Is it just me or do shows like Doctor Who stand out among American ones?

I believe that british shows all have potential but not many of them live up to their american remakes, not because of the actors but because of the way British people make their shows, it has a different style. shows like Doctor who and Sherlock are exceptions because the style, though similar to the British style, has american television aspects, I think that is what makes them so amazing, they have taken all the good things of British productions and the good things of american television.
