Anything alike?

Hi Fellow NX-lovers,

I've been a great fan of this show since it first appeared on the national TV of my country (Hungary), back in the 90s. Since then I've been watching it over and over (now in the undubbed version ofc). Last night I finished the series one more time, and decided to take a break - so when I 'come back' to this show again, it'll be familiar and new at the same time.

I love every character, and I totally agree with those who say this show doesn't dumb down its viewers. I quit watching cable TV about 10 years ago, simply because I don't like the stupidity effect some shows have. Don't get me wrong, I'm not judging or anything - it's just my personal choice not to watch the cable programme.

Anyway, I've been looking for other shows that have this 'NX-feel'. It's not the 'family genre' I'm looking for, but something that's intelligent and entertaining at the same time. While a new NX would be great :) I know it's just not out there. But there might be some alternatives.

Soooooo... I'm hoping there's some out there who found something that'd be a suitable alternative to this show.
But also, please feel free to share your ideas and preferences: if you are an NX-lover, what else do you like to watch? :)

BBC One's "Death in Paradise." Same fish out of water story—British Inspector (Ben Miller) transferred to a Caribbean Island. A dramedy (comedy + drama) with lots of quirky characters. Ben Miller was the best—Seasons 1-2, but Kris Marshall is growing on me. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1888075/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
