Are the TV shows that I can think of that started after 2009, ofc you still have longer running shows that are great and the dozens of panel shows which are good for mindless watching
Yeah UK music isn't so great anymore but then I don't listen to music made after the early 2000's really

>The slow cancellation of the future has been accompanied by a deflation of expectations. There can be few who believe that in the coming year a record as great as, say, the Stooges’ Funhouse or Sly Stone’s There’s A Riot Goin’ On will be released. Still less do we expect the kind of ruptures brought about by The Beatles or disco. The feeling of belatedness, of living after the gold rush, is as omnipresent as it is disavowed. Compare the fallow terrain of the current moment with the fecundity of previous periods and you will quickly be accused of ‘nostalgia’. But the reliance of current artists on styles that were established long ago suggests that the current moment is in the grip of a formal nostalgia, of which more shortly.

>It is not that nothing happened in the period when the slow cancellation of the future set in. On the contrary, those thirty years has been a time of massive, traumatic change. In the UK, the election of Margaret Thatcher had brought to an end the uneasy compromises of the so-called postwar social consensus. Thatcher’s neoliberal programme in politics was reinforced by a transnational restructuring of the capitalist economy. The shift into so-called Post-Fordism – with globalization, ubiquitous computerization and the casualisation of labour – resulted in a complete transformation in the way that work and leisure were organised. In the last ten to fifteen years, meanwhile, the internet and mobile telecommunications technology have altered the texture of everyday experience beyond all recognition. Yet, perhaps because of all this, there’s an increasing sense that culture has lost the ability to grasp and articulate the present. Or it could be that, in one very important sense, there is no present to grasp and articulate anymore.

Yeah whatever dude, I've been teased since I was 10 years old for my taste in shows like doc martin, midsomer murders and the antique roadshow and at this point I don't care
It's a good show though
You should watch it

The UK was only "cool" when it was copying America

10 years of the Tories stripping the country for parts

>doc martin, midsomer murders and the antique roadshow

Appealing to American tastes was a disaster
Happened around 2010 imo but I think they're slowly dropping the idea
