# Assuming you meant generally rather than right now
I'm quite impressed by Clocking Off at the moment.

# Really good writing and characterisation
Focuses on a different central character each week, with the only real tie between episodes being they all work in the same factory.

Last weeks guy just out of the army who turned out to be a serial rapist was gripping and scary - esp when, after raping his friends wife, he comes home to his mum in tears and she doesn't even have to ask him what he has done.

# sounds great ..
... but it you change your characters every week surely it would be hard to build an audience. (says rob who wants only wants pretty people on TV)

# better than you'd think
same characters do keep cropping up as supporting cast, but this less of a soap, more a series of self contained dramas.

Sod pretty people, I want well written characters.
